Ten IN MEMORIAM BETTY IOANNE STEVENS At the threshold of joyous senior activities preceding commencement, with a full life to follow, tragedy struck Betty Joanne Stevens when her companion, Richard Lahman, in a moment of playfulness thoughtlessly aimed a rifle at her and pulled the trigger of what he assumed was an empty gun. A bullet entered Betty,s abdominal cavity and inflicted mortal wounds. The accident occurred late in the evening of May 15, 1948, at a shooting gallery at Buckeye Lake Park. Betty was rushed to Newark City Hospital Where she died a week later, at ten o,clock in the evening of May 23. Betty was a member of the graduating Class of 1948. She was to have re- ceived her diploma at commencement on june 3. As a result of her death, stu- dents, teachers, and friends were shocked, for Betty was a happy person, had a fine reputation, possessed a pleasing personality, and was a true friend. Her memory will be cherished long after the tragic events of her death are dimmed by the passage of time.
