On June 11, 1966, an auto accident took the life of Bette Yearian, a member of the Class of '67. Bette came to Dixon as a sophomore, and participated in many DHS activities. Her academic achievement gained the respect of the entire faculty and student body. A winning personality and a ready smile won Bette the friendship of all who came in contact with her. Her death was a loss deeply felt by the students of Dixon High School.

Just before the accident, Stan and I had doubled at prom with Bette and Steve Anderson. We had such a nice time. She was the nicest girl.
