690 104 Balanced Farming Day will be held at the Harvey farm on June 15. Richard and his wife, the former Mary Jo Hawkins, have been living on this 800 acre farm for eleven years and have helped make this section of the country the corn belt of the United States. The Harveys are proud of their two sons, Richard Jr, nine years old, and Joe, seven years old, who plan to follow in their fathers footsteps. Mr. and Mrs. Laerel Garrison of near Paris, Missouri are happy to announce the arrival of a ten pound, bouncing baby boy, born May 10, 1965. This is the second child and first son. The proud mother, the former Mary Frances Lear, is well known throughout this commun- ity for her artistic ability. Some of her best paintings may be seen hanging in the Hall of Fame in Paris, Missouri. Miss Patricia Morrison recently completed her course of study and is now employed as an airline hostess for the T.W.A. of Los Angeles, Miss Morrison, known as Pat to her friends, has made many trips aro- und the world. Pat has consented to give up her career in two years and marry her school day sweetheart, Marion Smoot. They plan to make their home on a two hundred and forty acre farm east of Bethel. As the population of Bethel has increased greatly since 1950, Miss Jo Anne Pickett's dancing studio has proven to be quite a suc- cess. She has forty-eight pupils now under her instruction and has had many ballet, rumba, and conga pupils to participate in some of the famous follies in Hollywood and New York. Miss Pickett has de- finately not lost the jolly ways she acquired in her high school days. On the sly she slips off to Burksville with her fiance, where she enjoyes square dancing to an old fashioned hill billy band. Oh! if her pupils could only see her ndip the oyster.n Everyone remembers Mrs. Kenneth Smoot's talent forgpiano playing.

As I turn to the last page of the Community Calendar,I find that the 1950 Senior Class has set May 12, as the date for a class reun- ion to be held at Forester's Park here in Bethel. This last date brings the Community Calendar to a close. CLASS POEM We now tell you about our class, We're proud of each fine lad and lass. Four years of life we've molded here, In Bethel School we hold so dear. A class of twelve did make the start, Since four were lost, as eight we'll part. We've found that school work was much fun, But none are sorry that it's done. A good foundation we have laid, And many a future plan have made. Good sportsmanship we did portray, For B.H.S. along the way. The motto of our high school life Is nReach the limit of power through We'll also keep this in our mind-- Il Not failure, but low aim is crime.n Our teachers and each student chum, We'll hold in memory everyone. The efforts of our parents dear We appreciate most sincere. Our lessons now we leave With hopes of futures Do dreams come true? No To all that's past we behind, bright to find one can tell, bid farewell. strife
