My High School Days
Bethel Springs High School
Glass of 1929-30
My mother was Lula Mae Bowers Wilkes (December 16, 1907-April 5, 1973),
her "year book" contained so much information I thought I would share
with those that might have an interest. I have started from the front and
will continue to the end, including pictures. If anyone wishes a copy
of the information I have just let me know. I have transcribed the names
from the actual autographs of her classmates, if I have made an error or if
you find one, please let me know. --- Becky Stewart
