1. Wally: "I never knew you (Beaver) could hit a ball that hard." By the end of season 2 ("Beaver the Athlete"), he couldn't.

2. Going up to Crystal Falls (35 miles), wasn't it odd that Beaver was sitting in front, and June was in the back, with Wally?

Yep, the only reason I'm sure they had them sitting that way was to have Beaver not want to close the window. Otherwise June would have sat there and already rolled it up.
