CLASS HISTORY The maternity ward lay enveloped in an air of hushed expectation. “Old Mother Bethany High’’ was ready to receive another batch of little ones. Suddenly the air was rent by lusty wails of. twenty-eight new arrivals. The good nurse. Miss Sheppard, hurried to take care of her young charges. They were full of pep, these young ones, but no two were alike in the way they used it. As Miss Sheppard watched them grow, she could see the differences. Here was a little brat with a stocky, muscular build who was always throwing his bottle across the room to another boy who had dark, curly locks who, in turn, would snatch the make-believe ball and dash the length of the room. The cards above the cribs gave the names as Dean and Arnold. Perhaps someday these boys would be football stars. Other babies were always pounding on their beds with their fists. These would undoubtedly be the politicians or leaders of the class. Dean Puyear proved a success- ful President; Vice-President, Anne Rutherford; Secretary, Jim Bartimus; Treasurer, Helen Brown; and Reporter, Mary Jo Scott. The babies lost a lot of timidity after that first year, and their personalities were unfolding as surely as the flowers bloom in spring. But several of the flowers failed to bloom; the winter was hard and cold and we lost Ruth Davis, Eva England, John Gregory, and Dianne Morey. 15 Miss Sheppard hesitantly gave her job to Miss Guthrie who was to care for the developing youngsters. And they were really developing. They were at the stage where they were walking around and getting into things. Dean Puyear got in as President; Chester Betzer, Vice-President; Kay Stocks, Secretary; Helen Brown, Treasurer; and Sandra McKinney, Reporter. Kay Stocks and Jack Brown liked Student Council so well the first year, they stayed with it all four years; Jim Gaither and Sandy McKinney joined later. National Honor Society claimed the intelligent: Jack Brown, Kay Stocks, and Jim Gaither. Later Sandra McKinney and Burl Gray were added to the elite group. Sandy also showed us her talent for twirling things around her little finger. By the next year, the class was really shaking their bed slats and dropping their diapers; it was a busy year and officers were elected to guide the willing hands: President, Helen Brown; Vice-President, Jack Brown; Secretary, Jim Gaither; Treasurer, Sandra McKinney; and Reporter, Mary Jo Scott. Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Jarand acted as mother and father to the growing group of youngsters. Class pins and rings were ordered to show the world how grown-up the‘‘kids” were. This year Mary Jo Scott and Burl Gray were chosen to go to Girls’ State and Boys’ State. New honors awaited our juniors, new fields to explore and conquer. The play ‘‘Shy Guy” was one feather in their cap. At last the group reached the anxiously awaited prom age. They really felt grown-up at the banquet and dance held at the Y. M. C. A. in May. The group had dwindled to 20 members by the time our sophisticates had reached their senior year. As Helen Brown carried on presidential duties, she was ably assisted by Burl Gray as Vice-President; Doris Sutton, Secretary; Jim Gaither, Treasurer; and Jack Brown, Reporter. Mr. Jarand continued his duties as father with the addition of a nursemaid Miss Hickman. This year really proved the quality of the class and called forth their talents. But they were ready to shine after their extensive training of the previous years, especially our boys who had been participating in athletics: Dean Puyear, Arnold Mitchell, Harold Hampton, Chester Betzer, David Jackson, and Jack Brown. Annual Staff listed Jack Brown, Sandra McKinney, and Dorotha Sharp as members. Sandra McKinney and Mary Jo Scott were our senior cheerleaders. Our‘‘babies were so talented by now they were able to present a startling mystery play called ‘‘Drums of Death” that turned out to be quite a success even though it was presented on Friday, April 13. The juniors gave such a lovely prom that it will probably be the one thing that stands out in mem- ories of high-school days. The senior trip to Kirkwood Lodge numbers the days for our seniors. And then the time comes for the fledgling robins to fly from the nest. ‘‘Mother Bethany” will miss them and with her motherly love hopes that the future holds much success.

We being of sound mind and body and voluntary wishing these things to be propagated by our successors with love and appreciation do hereby express the good fellowship of the Class of ’56 of the Bethany High School. JANET BARNES leaves her quiet ways to Jim Fitzgerald. NADINE BROWN wills to Sandra Barnes her charm and grace-- and Sandy use them wisely. HELEN and JACK BROWN leave their knack of getting along to the students and teachers. CHESTER BETZER gives the High School back to the teachers. JIM GAITHER wills his studious ways to Gene Boros and T. L. Sheehan. BURL GRAY leaves his 5th hour trumpet playing to Skip Wheeler. HAROLD HAMPTON wills to Eddie Tucker his skills in hunting and fishing. ARNOLD MITCHELL gives his black hair to Dale McKinney. Use it to the best advantage. Dale. ANN RUTHERFORD leaves her giggle to Sandy Shonk. NANCY PETTYPOOL leaves to her next door neighbor, Ronnie Garrett, her small stature so he won’t be so stooped shouldered. DAVE JACKSON gives his nonchalant ways with the opposite sex to Jon Pasley. DEAN PUYEAR wills his football suit to next year’s Sophomore Class. DORIS SUTTON leaves Gerald Bennett her size 11 shoes. MARY JO SCOTT gives her worries and troubles to Jeanne Elder, who, we are sure, will take good care of them. SANDY MCKINNEY leaves her seat in study hall, behind her brother Dale, to any girl in High School. DOROTHA SHARP leaves her piano playing to Ken Turentine. JIM BARTIMUS leaves his position on the library staff to Tom Wheeler. KAY STOCKS leaves her impatient sigh to Violet Miller. NANCY THOMAS gives to all the High School her knack for bookkeeping. 17 (hat a different world I I wonder wh s a car-o-ship owned by the world’s ourse. Oh, they’re landingl I think for a one of these things. Here we t? A canoe? No, it’s a foot I and breeze to Connecticut to visit with Mr. i ip quite a pile of Wood chips.” It seems Ma; own I re the old class of '56 is? richest men, Arnold Dean I’ll just go for a ride with iweep over New York City 3 to none other than Doris don Wood. They i is “Cheaper by acting am rst lady to the Secretary of Agriculture Jack Brown. We now look a little closer and spot Nadine Brown who really got somewhere sing. She owns the largest hairdressing agency in Washington, D. C. her hair- Now down to the shoreline of Florida. Yes, Dorotha and Harry Benne to be starting Here we are in 1966, and What’s that in the sky? Mitchell and Chester Bet: them. My, it is so nice and what is THAT? A boat? Ac Sutter. We now head inland and breeze to Connei certainly have st, the Dozen.” As we glide on over to Washington 0 6., we see Janie and Jack (now related), as first lady to the Secre a small fleet of 18 Back to “Dear Ole Beth” we're flying, but we don’t know many people there now. Oh say, isn’t that Jim Bartimus down there working in the cemetery? I guess Jim never did get “care- taker” and “character straightened out. What is that large house there? Well, of course, that’s Nancy Pettypool’s nursing home. Seems like Jim and Nancy have quite a business--Nancy keeps them 'til they die; then Jim takes them from there I As we look to the southwest of Bethany, we see a large farm with cows, kids, and John Deeres. Yes, the farm belongs to Dean and Irma Puyear. Dean never did like Farmalls. We are gaining altitude to head back to Chicago to see if we can find another old friend Nancy Thomas. Finally we did find her, and she is secretary for the president of G. M. C. Guess those commercial courses paid off for Nancy. Doesn’t that person in the stockyards look familiar? Why sure, that’s Doc Gaither; Jim always did want to be an important vet. Also in Chicago is Kay Stocks who is now the Republican candidate for Mayor of the “windy city. As we remember, even our high-school days, Kay always did favor the elephants I Westward now and what do we have here? Why this is Las Vegas, and guess who we find here. Dave Jackson, of course I Dave now owns ten gambling casinos but by profession is “The Million-Dollar Playboy. (With ALL the accessories, as usual.) From Nevada we sweep over to Denver where we find a secretary and teacher - secretary to her husband who is a general in the Air Force and teacher to her own little Air Force squadron. Ann always liked the men in uniform. We now enter the REALLY, BIG state of Texas and find the celebrity of our class Harold Porkie Hampton. Guess what he is? The State Senator, and by the way, Porkie is also a preacher. Into Mexico now and we see Janet Barnes as a receptionist for the SNOW SHOVEL COM- PANY. Janet doesn’t sell many shovels, but she is kept quite busy answering telephone calls, mainly those from her good-looking boss. Just for old time’s sake, let’s fly over Bethany again. Oh goodness, how did we ever over- look the Mad Chemist and Magician of our class, “Tweety” Gray? He is known professionally as a very popular magician--Burl always could make girls appear from nowhere! Oh, Good Heavens, time does fly. I must get back to one of my many hospitals. Y ou know I always was real strong about being a nurse, but at that time I didn’t know I would own seven of my own hospitals. If you feel ill after reading this, just come see me--Sandy McKinney. 19 JunioJiA, Sandra Barnes Ronald Crane Jeanne Elder 22 JunioxA Janet Taylor V Mary Kay Twenty David Windell 23 SixpJiamox x Janet Schwartz Linda Shonk Audrey Oathout Gene Boros Joyce Brown Compliments of BETHANY ECHO Bethany, Illinois Judith Brown Compliments of Y-DRIVE IN - v Jack Crane Sullivan, Illinois 24 SULLIVAN BOWL Sullivan, Illinois SUNBEAM BAKERY Decatur, Illinois SjOftAommeA Fred Marshall Gale Wheeler Compliments of SULLIVAN DAIRY Sullivan, Illinois CAMPBELL BARBER SHOP Sullivan, Illinois BOB'S CLEANERS Sullivan, Illinois FEDERATED Sullivan, Illinois Larry Gaither Joe Scribner Janet Yakey 25 Carol Sharp Sandra Shonk Jon Pasley Dale Matheson Roger Jarand President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Dwane Barnes Larry Bennett Rhoda Boros Sharon Craycroft Linda Dick Roger Dick Jim Fitzgerald Marilyn Gaither 26 Paula Gibbons men Linda Mescher David Tucker Karen Turrentine frie futieti BETHANY GRAIN COMPANY Bethany, Illinois Compliments Of YARNELL'S STANDARD SERVICE Bethany, Illinois L.
