Would make Roger a much better student. Donna Ward, who is now quite petite. Says, “The best way is simply don't eat. This advice thus she leaves To Charles Austin and believes It will help him to lose ail that meat. The affair between Teeny and Tipsword Has caused neither to get bored. On their own they agree To will such constancy To a fickle young gent named Jim Tipsword. Don Malone, who in a bit of a tizzy Leaves to all the boys, Izzy. Says, I'll not be alone Because I’m Malone But he's not that dizzy — or is he? A happy young gal named Carlyle, Who's famed far and wide for her smile. Leaves her cheerful demeanor To any poor senior Who takes English IV for awhile. Genell Morris makes this request: She thinks for Jeanette twould be best. If we'd lop off a foot Of Miss Burrows and put On her twin's head to make up the rest. = Se ooC - 50 7 e devente — Betty Cruse's dancing ability, H as revealed a bidden agility. She's leaving her boon To any freshman who soon Will try to match her dance versatility. That lovely young lady. Miss Reedy, Her beauty course can't really be needy. She'll give it to Herb With a Tony Superb, So then he will never look seedy. Don Brown is a quiet young man. Whose line is the strong silent plan. So he leaves to young Cribbet Much room to ad lib it And shoot all the breeze that he can. Our Sandra gives all her air Of sadness and much burdened care To some light-hearted lad Who wouldn't be sad To receive-anything she could spare. To Lila Lu we are quite partial. Though sometimes her grammar's gosharful. She's bouncing and joyous. But she could annoy us By giving up Don to M. Marshall. Carlin Jo Manship we'll say Is a trifle more something than gay. To Mary Ruth she'll some leave And still up her sleeve, H ave plenty more for today. A bashful young Wampler named Bill, His voice always ran up hill. It made him so mad That now he is glad To give it away with the will. ScAaaC - 1950 Reverie - A careful young cutie is Kay, Sh e does things the most exact way. Dave Wimmer, who needs it. Now gets it. Kay deeds it. In hopes he will use it some day. Boh Younger's wide open expression He leaves to Bob Queen with discretion. It's useful and good For scooping in food. Beyond that it needs much suppression. Our beauteous classmate Yvonne - - She has nothing to leave anyone. In a bit of a dither She's taking ail with her And leaving with Wayne on the run. Jay Perisho shyly admits That luc Vy is Becky, who gets. His lore scientific And wisdom terrific. It fairly will baffle her wits. Miss Clark, whose first name is Joy, Her giggle she leaves to a boy. Twas a problem, who best Should receive this bequest. Said she, “Let's leave it to Leroy.'' Mr. Keown's little boy Doug, Says, giving his mustache a tug, “This I will will To Saddoris until He has one of his own for his mug.'' I'm Peter the Piper, yo ho! I tootle my sax fast and slow. But since bask etball I've no time at all. So Coach Baker can have it to blow. -■ 'rfycyti ScAoaC - f 950 ev tie CLASS PROPHECY This has been such a busy day bere at the orphanage, I scarcely glanced through my mail this morning. Now that the dear little ones are tucked in for the night, I can read that bulky Round Robin which I have been looking for so eager- ly. It was timed perfectly -- here it is back to me on the very day we graduated from Dear Old Bethany High School -- 25 years ago. Ah, me, just yesterday, and yet - - Well, at least this first one is from home; the supervisor of Marrobone Township, Mr. Robert Brewer. Dear Classmates: I am so proud of my wife, Darlene, and our two sets of twins: the boys, 15, in B. H. S. adding weight to the football team and the girls, just 10, the cutest band majorettes in Moultrie! I’d like to tell you all about them and our fine herd of prize-winning sheep, but in a half-hour I hafta be in Springfield. We supervisors are still trying to get a County Fair here, and we have succeeded. It's up to me to select a date today. I'm sure you will all be here for the big Homecoming Fall Festival in October. Be seeing you - - - - Bob - - - Nellie Marie - - - still a champion of defenseless creatures - - - she’s National President of the Humane Society with headquarters in New York City. This letter sounds as if she's quite busy, and with her husband, a successful porter, lives in the Waldorf - Astoria. Here’s another letter in the same envelope - - well, this is news!! The husband Nellie mentioned is writing too - - Donald Brown - - bet be looks jaunty in his fine uniform. Listen to this - - they’s just re- turned from a cruise along the Atlantic Coast to Key West and back in their private yacht. Miss Norma Carlyle; Institute of Physio-Therapy, Denver, Colorado My road has been rough and rugged. Nurse's training is no picnic! (Amen to that one, Norma) but thanks to the spirit of our high school I never could think of giving up. The endurance of my patients is a challange to anyone. I think of all of you often. Once in a while I see some one from home. I hope to fly over to Bethany this fall. HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA!!???? Well - - if it isn’t Joy Clark's handwriting - - chief telephone operator at Hollywood and Vine. Do I get the low-down on all the celebrities!!! My book “Listenin' In'' will reveal more than Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper ever dreamed of !!! (Lawton unity, eAaol - ? 950 IRevexie — And here's Betty Cruse - - I'm not familiar with this last name but look at this interesting group snap shot - - in front of their ultra modern residence. Three boys, and is their Dad handsome!!! It's amazing - or is it? - how far-reaching B. H. S. training has proved itself. Now here s Sandra Hampton, head of Home Economics Department at Texas Christian. She says she's compiling a new set of recipes for use in high school cafeterias. Well, next is Kay's letter. No, it isn't Kay Johnson any more. Her husband is program director of station KANT and their six year old daughter has now joined her mother in ccmedy act which is fast becoming a top television show. Kay appeals to the class of 1950 for some of her old gags, if they happen to remember still. The Keown Baby Sitters Agency, Inc. If it isn't good old Doug - - - always thinking of others, and rendering a fine service. Now if my job were not such a permanent one there'd be the place to apply for one. I know, I might get help from among his clients. Ah, here's a familiar name, Malone: Deanie too, has reached the top, though he hasn't traveled far. It's nice he's still near Dalton City. He says that as Coach of B. H. S. he is still battling with the referees from Decatur and the rivalry between his successful Mustangs and the Lovington Panthers is as keen as in 1950! What's this? Rev. - - - Who? Oh, its Carlin Joe, wife of the pastor of the most fashionable Church in Sullivan! She says her family of six, and the many social demands keep her so busy, she hasn't seen a good show for ages! Smith Manufacturing Company - - - Now this must be Yvonne's letter. Yes, she's the wife of another successful Smith, and they have a large family, too. Well if they're all as pretty as their mother, we'll be hearing from them sometime. Dear Classmates: Do any of you feel adventurous enough to accompany me on my next trip to Mars? You didn't think I d make it did you? Even Mr. Mahan had his doubts, but here I am ready for my second landing there, and I want someone to go along for proof this time. My wife is a great help to me in keeping all my data, maps and instruments catalogued. Signed: Jay Perisho Jane Powell says -- Are you surprised to hear from me down here at Sportsman's Park? - - Announcing the play by play of these Cardinals keeps my tongue moving even faster than in History Class, but at least I never get baseball tangled with agricultural pursuits. ----- Set cuttf 'ZSiyA- ScAooC - f 50 7 “devente Ah, I've been real anxious to hear from Peggy. Her future seemed so certain. She writes - - My turkeys all died last year, and since the chinch bugs have become such a menace to our crops, I'm raising quails this year, and turning them all loose as soon as they are able to shift. They are such cute little birds. My boys are getting to be pretty good marksmen, so we may have a few pot pies this fall. Lila Lu, still a librarian and booking agent. She was in Buenos Aires when she wrote this. Her husband and his twin are singing and dancing in all the finest Casinos. She's seen a lot of the world since she graduated from the Uni- versity of Illinois. Now we used to wonder what this country would do without John L. Lewis. This letter from Bill Wampler sounds as if he's making a grand success as A. F. of L. President. Remember he got his first experience when he was chief executive of our class. Donna Ward writes: I've traveled far and wide and now I'm right where I aimed to be - - on Broadway - - Here's a picture of her name in bright lights ! and judging from this photo, she has lost none of her glamour in 25 years. Wilkinson Lumber Co., Bethany, Illinois - - Surely, this is not Pete - - after all that military training and not wearing the brass?!!? Well, it's the way of the world. He's making a specialty of fine cabinet work and furniture building. At least his industrial arts and geometry constructions were not amiss. And he's still single !! - - That's not the fault of the swooning teenagers of '50! Here's something familiar! A Bethany Echo clipping with a fine photo of the Ozee family. Yes, Evelyn. They celebrated their silver w edding anniversary in January, with open house in the picturesque old Sutton home in the East End of towm. The article reads, Although they still call Bethany their home, they are here only on special occasions, since Evelyn still has a very famous girls basket- ball team (twice Olympic Champions) which is much in demand for exhibitions throughout the world. ' The last letter - - and it's from the University of Notre Dame! Bob Younger says w'e can believe it or not - - he's taking a lengthy course, just so he can stay on the football squad and help keep their undefeated record. I'm certainly proud to be one of the 1950's but after reading all these, w'hat is there to say about me?

'Reueiie JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September 1, 1947, twenty-six eager young Freshmen entered B. T. H. S. ►o start four years of High school. A few weeks after school started, we elected the following officers: Jim Keown, President; Herbert Majors, Vice-President; Kimberly Powell, Secretary; Robert Shelton, Treasurer; and Mr. W. L. Schmitt, sponsor. As Student Council Representatives we chose Doris Keown and Dick Dickson, who was replaced later in the year by Jim Keown. Then came the big day all the other classes were waiting for - - Initiation Day. Each class gave a skit which ended a day that we will all remember for some time. The Sopho- mores gave us a hamburger fry and hay ride and in return we gave them a skating party at Sullivan. At the beginning of the second semester Robert Shelton moved to Tennessee, leaving the class to finish up their freshman year as twenty-five in number. On August 30, 1948 we started back to school again not quite the green Freshmen this time and started the year by electing the following officers: Glen Austin, President; James Tipsword, Vice-President; Kimberly Powell, Secretary; Darrell Perisho, Treasurer; and Mr. Wade Davis, sponsor. Student Council representatives were Jim Keown and Maxine Marshall. As we started school we missed Dick Dickson, who transferred to Mt. Zion, but were glad to welcome Evelyn Lillico and Leroy Tinnea into our class. At the beginning of the second semester Darlene Gaither and Dorothy Hull moved into the district to increase the class to twenty-eight. January 14 we lost a Sophomore, Hannah Scribner who married Kenneth Nance. The Sophomore girls gave a luncheon and shower in her honor. At the close of the year we sophomores were looking forward to our Junior year. Juniors at last! August, 1949, we were Juniors with twenty-four in our class. During the summer Dorothy Hull, Leona Campbell and Kimberly Powell transferred to other schools. Class officers were elected a few weeks after school started. They were: James Tipsword, President; Glen Austin, Vice- President; Marjorie Bartimus, Secretary; Jim Keown, Treasurer; and Mr. Voyles, sponsor. Student Council representatives were Marjorie Bartimus and Jim Keown. Maxine Marshall was chosen by the teachers for the Student Council. Since we were Juniors, of course we needed class rings. We met with a represent- ative from Herff-Jones Company and chose our rings. We started selling candy at noon and running the stand at games to earn money but our biggest source of money came from the magazine sales. James Tipsword and Glen Austin were team Captains. Marjorie Bartimus was business manager. James Tipsword s team won. He had the two top salesmen, Tom Stables who sold $210 worth of subscriptions and Phyllis McReynolds who sold $219 worth. All together the class sold $1110.10 worth of subscriptions. The class made approximately $400. Tom received a radio, pen and pencil set and a billfold. Phyllis McReynolds got a ladies watch. The Juniors had a class party November 10. It was a hamburger fry and scavanger hunt. Our Junior play, ‘‘The Perfect-Idiot was presented in April. The Junior-Senior Prom was May 13 at Scovills Country Club. An enjoya ble time was had by all. Se aoC - f $50 7 e Reverie SOPHOMORE HISTORY In the fall of 1948 there entered into the hall of Bethany High, thirty-five scared freshmen. Our class officers were: President Bob Boyer, Vice-President Bill Puyear, Secretary Mary Martha Ward, Treasurer Kenneth Coventry, Sponsor Mr. Schmitt. The Student Council representatives were Earl Heckler and Mary Martha Ward. Then came initiation! We were expecting something really terrible but it wasn't too bad. Those men's work shoes did get rather heavy, though, and the boys say the burlap bags weren't too warm. We had several new members that year. They were Mervin Warren, Kenneth Coventry, Bob Boyer, Bill Puyear, Jim Jackson, Velma Jean Tinnea, Lyle Heustis and Louise H udson. After a wonderful summer we came back to school older and more sophisti- cated. Being sophomores now we really felt grown up. We found two of our members gone, Devereux Powell, and Kenneth Coventry who goes to the Findlay school. We also had gained two new members, Nora Utsler and Harold Sills. Our class officers this year are: President, Bill Bland; Vice-President, Jack Wheeler; Secretary, Mary Martha Ward; Treasurer, David Wimmer; Sponsor, Mr. Mahan. The Student Council representatives were Phyllis Oathout and Earl Heckler. FRESHMAN HISTORY August 29, 1949, was the beginning of our high school days with twenty-one members. We chose Miss Alt as our sponsor and class officers as follows: President, Genell Morris; Vice-President, Jolene Schwartz; Secretary, John Tip- sword ; Treasurer, Jerry McDevitt. Our Student Council members are Darlene Tipsword and Jim Saddoris. Not long after school started the sophomore class gave us a weiner roast and a scavanger hunt following. Then we gave them a return party with a weiner roast and scavanger hunt followed by a dance. The initiation was held in the gym October 27 for freshmen and new teachers also. It was followed by a dance. Our candidate for basketball queen was Genell Morris and for carnival king, Jerry McDevitt. ‘Set auy ScAoat - 950 7 e deverte NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The Bethany Chapter of the National Honor Society organized January 23, 1950. Brad Lane of the Sullivan Chapter, with the assistance of Ellen Ann Little, Charlotte Pierce and Jerry Alumbaugh, was in charge of the Initiation Ceremony held in our study hall before the student body. The parents of all the thirteen honor students were invited to the program. The honor students who received pins were Peggy Reedy, Lila Lu Rhodes, Martha Bland, Kay Johnson, Porter Wilkinson Marjorie Bartimus, Maxine Marshall, Nora Utsler, Phyllis Oathout, Marian Moore, Marna Queen, Isabelle Freeland and Bill Bland. Principal Bing- man of Sullivan presented the Chapter Charter to Mr. Garrison. Membership into the society is based on Scholarship of B or better average. Character, Leadership in the classroom or in school activities and Service to all. G. A. A. The Girls Athletic Association was organized November 15, 1949, for the first time in our high school. The purpose of this organization is to maintain high standards, promote ideals of health and sportsmanship, and to stimulate interest in athletes among high school girls. The officers this year were Evelyn Sutton, President; Donna Ward, Vice- President; Pat Wheeler, Secretary-Treasurer; and Joann Gregory, Reporter. Due to the absence of Evelyn Sutton, Donna Ward became president and Joyce Malone was elected to the vice-presidency. There are forty members in the G. A. A. and each one must take part in noon hour activities if she wants to earn her awards. Some of the activities are badminton, softball, croquet, folk dancing, social dancing and girls basketball. To help us become acquainted with the G. A. A. Laws and Rules, we held a G. A. A. Play-day with Sullivan in our gym on December 10. On February 11 we co-sponsored the Gay Nineties Carnival with the Student Council. It was a lot of work but we all had our share of fun. The G. A. A. also presented a physical education program on April 14. The various phases of developing physical education were given before a large audience. The organization will elect their officers for the coming year in May and the inauguration will be the night of May 16. Everyone extends his best wishes to the G. A. A. and hopes it continues to do the fine work that it has in the past. -■ ‘Set UUf Sc imC - f 950 deverte HONOR ROLL and UNDER CLASSMEN JUNIOR HONOR ROLL Maxine Marshall A Marjorie Bartimus Bf JUNIOR CLASS FIRST ROW: Evelyn Lillico, Darlene Gaither, Glen Austin, Vice-President; James Tipsword, President; Marjorie Bartimus, Secretary; Jim Keown, Treasurer; Myron Cribbett, Kenneth Moore.

Every- one hates his all me and no you” attitude. Dan is on a radio program sponsored by Walter P. Latherby, a soap magnate but leaves the program because he thinks it is stupid. Because of this, Latherby refuses to help publish Roger Tennyson s book. Roger and Margaret Tennyson refuse to let Dan take the college entrance exams, until he can prove himself to be socially acceptable. Puff Witomski, the star athlete, is about to be declared ineligible for sports unless his grades pick up so the gang plead with Dan to tutor him. Dan will agree, only if they make him popular. He also insists that Linda Bernard, the social lioness and daughter of the principal, go steady with him and to the prom. She intensely dislikes him but agrees to the terms if he will learn to dance. She brings about a complete change in him and even shows him how to say goodnight after a date. To the amazement of all, including Puff s girl, Carla Carlson, and Jackie Tennyson's girl, Jeannie Wilson, Dan hypmotizes Puff into wanting to study. Dan's parents finally agree to let him take the college exams but because he doesn't want to go to college and leave Linda, who is wearing his class pin, he purposely misses every question, which gives him the I. Q. of a perfect idiot. A phychiatrist. Dr. Hockhorst Von Barf, is sent to examine Dan. Meanwhile, Linda has taken the college exams and is all prepared to go to college with Dan. While everyone is worrying about Dan being an idiot, Mr. Latherby fools with the hyp- nosis machine and thinks he is a rabbit wanting carrots. A policeman selling tickets interrupts and calls for a squad car to come and pick up Latherby. The curtain falls as Latherby is shouting for some one to save his carrots and keep the hounds away. unity Sc uxoC - f 950 ANNUAL STAFF devente STANDING: Miss Mosby, Genell Morris, Marjorie Bartimus, Doug Keown, Joanne Sharp, Nellie Burrows, Marna Queen, J.

The Librarians duties are checking books, collecting dues, cataloging and filing books, stamping and arranging magazines, and newspapers. The Librarians are students who volunteer to work one of their free periods in the library. MUSIC The chorus this year consists of forty-five mixed voices. After practicing very hard with the grade school, the combined group of mixed voices from high and grade put on a Christmas Cantata at the high school. It was given on the night of December the nineteenth. It was enjoyed by everyone and received many compliments from the public. During the year the chorus has practiced on the popular songs as well as classical numbers. They plan to give an Easter program in the near future. The band is composed of approximately twenty-five members. The band faithfully played and backed the football team during the season. They also marched at one or two of the games. The band marched at one of the basketball games which took much work on the part of the instructor and all those partici- pating, since many of the members participate in athletics. In rehearsals the group practiced many popular arrangements that everyone enjoyed very much. In contest work last year in the instrumental department there were one first, and three thirds in the district contest at Paris. In the State contest there was a second. In the vocal section there were three firsts, a second, and a third in the district. At the State there were two firsts and a second. The chorus received a first in the district and a second in the state contest. All cf the members are very thankful for what the director, Mr. Davis, has done for them in their work at B. H. S. this year. THE BROADCASTER The Broadcaster, merely a page in the Bethany Echo a few years ago, has been published at school for the past four years. This year, as before, another inexperienced staff undertook the job of pub- lishing the paper. It is published monthly. Included in the newspaper are articles cn the classes, various clubs, important events, feature articles, an editorial, gossip, news on sports, calendar of coming events and other articles of importance. Miss Alt was our advisor until February. She gave us many helpful ideas and suggestions and we really appreciate her cooperation. — Sc a C - t 750 evestie CHORUS FIRST ROW: Martha Dalton, Margie Jordan, Jolene Schwartz, Jeanette Morris, Darlene Tipsword, Genell Morris, Beverly Goetz, Joan Pritts, Joyce Malone, Norma Stocks, Pat Wheeler, Mary Ward, Pat Hampton.

The twins believed that a smile makes everything right and when they began to apply their wits to straightening out each member of the household, it was hilarious. They accomplished their purpose finally but not before they seemingly did all sorts of damage. They had their socialistic brother set upon by ruffians; smashed their sister's dream of a Hollywood career; caused their brother-in-law to rebel against their married sister. These were only incidental happenings in a series of situations. Tke play was given under the capable direction of Miss Dunn. 'SetJuZtlCf Sc t ol - f 950 7 e “Reverie CHRISTMAS CANTATA On last December 19, the second annual Christmas Cantata was presented in the high school gymnasium by the high school mixed chorus and the grade school musical department. The program consisted of direct passages from the Scripture and songs by the two schools. The story of each song was acted out on the stage by grade school pupils. These scenes were of the shepherds watching their flocks in the fields, Mary and Joseph and their long journey to Bethlehem, the Wise Men coming to the stable and Jesus being born. M rs. Martin and Mrs. Davis were in charge of the grade school selections and Miss Richardson directed the scenes. Mr. Davis directed the high school chorus. Joyce Malone was accompanist for the entire program. The program presented an effective story in yuletide hymns and carols and was well received by a large audience. ‘Set CUUf Sc ioot - 950 GAY NINETIES CARNIVAL The Girls Athletic Association, in need of money making schemes, decided to try presenting a School Carnival. In order to make it an all school affair they asked the Student Council to help them. A group of G. A. A. and Student Council members met and decided upon the date (Feb. 11), a theme (Gay Nineties), amusements and other fundamental plans. Under the competent direction of Miss Mosby and three general managers, the student body and faculty worked as a unit. Chairmen were chosen at random from the student body for the booths and committees. The merchants and public showed their much appreciated interest by generously donating money, prizes, or food. Instead of selecting a queen for the evening, we nominated a boy from each class to run for “Carnival King. James Tipsword was crowned about 11:30 p. m. in a rather comical ceremony. At the same time prizes were awarded to the winners of the various contests such as amateur program, card games, booth winners, etc. This and free dancing wound up the evening which started at 6:30 and went strong until 12:00. We were very pleased with the results of our efforts and wish to thank the merchants, parents and public for their interest and co-operation. The G. A. A. hopes to make the carnival a yearly event, since it was a success and most of all it required that the students and teachers work together for the same goal. et UUUf @0 K KU Ut t ScAccC - 950 '7 £e ev iie STUDENT COUNCIL STANDING: Jim Keown, Bill Wampler, Earl Heckler, Porter Wilkinson, Pres.

Bill Wampler, Peggy Reedy, Vice-President, and Porter Wilkinson, President. Our sponsor is Mr. Harold Voyles. We belong to the State and National Student Council Organisations. We have been very active during the past year. We have sponsored enter- tainment for the students throughout the year. We have earned money the past year by sponsoring a basketball game be- tween Helen Stephens Ovlimpic Co-eds and the local independent team on January 21. We also sponsored, along with the G. A. A., a school carnival on February 11. On February 24 the council had a vocational guidance clinic for all the neighboring schools. On April 21 and 22 Porter Wilkinson and Darlene Tipsword, accompanied by Mr. Voyles, attended the Illinois Association of Student Councelors Conven- tion in Peoria, Illinois. F. F. A. The F. F. A. is a national organization of farm boys sponsored by the federal and state supervisors of vocational agriculture and the various vocational agricultural teachers. This organization aims for the education and recreation at the same time for farm boys. It also proposes co-operation, self-confidence and interest for farm life. Activities consist of regular meetings of the chapter members, participation in contests in parliamentary procedure, public speaking, athletics and grain and seed judging. Each year there is also a father and son banquet. Every boy can enroll if he has a proper project and he is entitled to work his way up. F. H. A. In 1949 we started our year with forty-one members. Later in the year we gained eleven more as the freshmen took their entrance exams. Our projects were sending money to the World's Christmas Festival, send- ing a box of toys, canned food and clothes to the orphanage at Assumption, and Hobo Day. All of these projects were completed by the girls. With our slumber party and Mother and Daughter Tea behind us we are looking forward to the Mother and Daughter Banquet. - (?o k h unity Se unxl - ?5C CHEERLEADERS euenie LEFT-TO-RIGHT: Isabelle Freeland, Peggy Reedy, Myron Cribbett, Becky Walton, Martha Bland.

The score was 20 to 6 in favor of Assumption. Bob Younger scored the touchdown. The Bethany eleven played the Moweaqua Redskins on a water soaked football field. The Redskins won the game 25 to 0. Bethany played Lovington for their third conference game of the year. Lovington, having a powerful team, was able to pull away and wm the game 52 to 0. They also led in first downs. The Mustangs came very close to winning their first game of the season when they played Vandalia in the fifth game of the year. A large Vandalia team held Bethany for awhile but we finally scored. With just seconds to go Vandalia tied the score making the game end in a 6 to 6 tie. Jack Wheeler made the touchdown. In their seventh game of the season, Bethany was tromped by a larger and faster St. Teresa team. At the final gun the score was St. Teresa 65, Bethany 6. Bethany’s only touchdown was by Jack Wheeler.

DECEMBER 20: The second win for the Mustangs came when they de- feated the Arthur Knights in a very close game. JANUARY 13: After losing one game to Findlay, the Mustangs came back to beat Assumption, which in the early part of the season beat the Mustangs. JANUARY 20: The Mustangs were handicapped by having to play on Mt. Zion's smaller floor, but they were able to win 46 to 38. JANUARY 27: The Mustangs came back to meet Lakeview on their own floor. The Mustangs led all the way, then dropped it in the last few seconds, 58 to 56. JANUARY 31: The Mustangs received their fifth win of the year when they beat Moweaqua.

FEBRUARY 3: The Mustangs, being a little tired from the game the night before with Windsor, had some trouble finding the hoop and were defeated by Warrensburg, the score being 49 to 40. FEBRUARY 7: The Mustangs lost their fourth close game when they met Arthur in a thrilling 55 to 54 match. It seemed as though the Mustangs had their share of losing close games this year. FEBRUARY 10: The Mustangs also lost to Lakeview after leading all the way until the last few seconds. The score was 44 to 42. FEBRUARY 15: Argenta, a very well-rated team in the conference, was picked off by the Mustangs in the final seconds of a 58 to 50 score game. FEBRUARY 17: Bethany closed their twenty-two game season by playing Niantic. The Mustangs couldn't get started and ended their season by being de- feated 63 to 46. Bill Morris, a Junior, broke the old record and set a new scoring record this year. The old record was 316 points set by Jim Walton last year. Bill’s record is 328 which average 14 points per game. There were four seniors on the squad this year: Bob Younger, a regular starter, and Bob Brewer, Porter Wilkinson, and Don Brown as substitutes.

This was the first time a clinic of this kind had been held in Bethany and the sponsors have hopes of fulfilling a need of many students to help them settle questions on their future careers. The student who is not going to college, as well as the one who is going, may have received help by this conference. This undertaking was too large for our own number of students, so the seniors of several neighboring schools: Sullivan, Lovington, Findlay, Arthur, Windsor, Shelbyville, and Macon were invited to take part in it.

The surveying group, under Dr. Severina E. Nelson, Director of the Speech Clinic at the University, included eight clinical supervisors from the Speech Clinic Staff and thirteen student clinicians. At the Educational Conference held at the Bethany Grade School soon after the survey was made, M rs. M arie Shere, Supervisor of the University of Illinois Speech Clinic, gave a report on the findings of the speech and hearing survey. She reported 113 cases of students with speech defects. There were 47 cases of stu- dents having defects in hearing. Th ere are 380 students m the Bethany schools who underwent these tests. M rs. Shere endeavored to show the value of correcting these defects, and cited for example the senior class which has only two students with defects. She suggested that other students might have dropped out because of defects which were not corrected. The Clinic Supervisor thinks the Bethany schools have enough students with speech and hearing defects to warrant having a speech correction teacher. Another suggestion she made was that we m ight h ave a part time teacher who would do similiar work in a nearby school. Aid can be obtained from the State for employing such a teacher. Certain students with speech and hearing defects were thought, by the Examiners, to require further examination by a physician. Our superintendent has sent letters to the parents of students who needed immediate medical attention. LETTERMENS CLUB The purpose of the “B club is to organize a group of letter winners who are interested and proud of the “B and their achievements. Only a letter winner is allowed to wear the “B” which signifies that he has won a letter in some sport. Basic colors for the “B club are old gold and black. No other campus letters can be worn by Bethany lettermen or students. The officers for the year are as follows: President, James Tipsword; Vice- President, Bob Younger; Secretary, Glen Austin; Treasurer, Bill Wampler, and Reporter, Bill Wampler. Our sponsor for the year was our coach, Mr. Baker. 0O H KU Ut t 4 Sc uhxC - 50 devente AWARDS FOR THE YEAR MUSIC: Greatest Contribution to Music Department- Porter Wilkinson, Jr. Most Improvement on Instrument - Martba Bland THESPIAN: Senior Boy or Girl — Donna Ward HOMEMAKING: Peggy Reedy and Lila Lu Rhodes AGRICULTURE: Senior with Highest Scholastic Standing in Ag. - Bill Wampler.
