Bethan Alumni Association (BAA)

This page is for all those former Bethans who, despite having passed on from the college realm, still need proof that they actually did wear tights and/or a corset during at least part of their Williams tenure. Not sure why this is a good thing, but maybe you should just ask them. =)
