Dave Fitzgibbons bequeaths his mastering of art, to Carrel Merold. To Kenny Oathout, Lyle Heustis wishes to leave his dashing manner with the girls. Janet Marlow Harchous wants to leave her ability to nab a man to any girl who thinks she could use it. Marna Queen bequeaths her good marks on her report card to Garnet Lillico, who, so I’ve been told, could use them. To Jim Ward, goes Dave Wimmer’s technique in getting teachers sidetracked off the subject. Jim Wheeler leaves his dashing figure on the football field to Stanley Carlyle. Gene Tinnea leaves to any boy who wants it, the skeleton key to freshmen girls’ hearts. Bill Puyear bequests to Floyd Gerkin his lengthy stride in track, hoping Floyd will carry on. To Francine Miller goes the booming voice of Louise Hudson. Joan Florey leaves all her pep, vigor, and vitality to Jolene Schwartz, hoping she puts it to use. Juanita Carlyle leaves but one thing—her desire to get out of school. Earl Heckler leaves to any boy who wants it, his time to serve in the Army for Uncle Sam. Last but not least, we, Becky Walton and Nora Utsler, wish to leave the writing of next year’s class will to any Junior who would be brave enough to take upon them- selves, such a task.

TIH IE REVERIE JUNIOR CLASS •a? The beginning of the school year brought back only 16 members of the former 21. Miss Mary Ann Lucas and Mr. Louid Baker were chosen as sponsors, and the following officers were elected: President, Hollis Dick; Vice-President, John Tips- word; Secretary, Jeanette Morris; Treasurer, Genell Morris; Student Council Mem- bers were Jeanette Morris, John Tipsword and Jerry McDevitt. Cheerleaders were Jeanette Morris and Genell Morris. The Junior candidate for Fall Festival Queen was Phyllis Wheeler and Home- coming Queen candidate was Marscha Miller. We had charge of the concession stands at the football and basketball games. The magazine sales were a big event for testing our selling ability. Genell Morris was business manager for the contest and Joanne Sharp and Jim Saddoris were team captains. Many prizes were given; some of them were Parker pencil sets, wrist watches, radios, ukeleles and pop corn poppers. Among the various other campaigns we had charge of a waste paper drive. Also, personalized stationery, napkins and mailing cards were sold. The class rings were purchased in the latter part of November. The Junior Class play entitled “We Shook the Family Tree” was presented on March 28 and was directed by Miss Mary Ann Lucas. After all the hard work in the various money-making projects we ended our Junior year with the annual Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. It was held in Sports- man’s Lodge in Decatur on May 17. Bob Bauer’s orchestra played for the dancing. BETHANY HIGH SCHOOL-1952
