Editing June Cleaver (section)

==Character overview==
===Early life===
June's birthplace is mentioned in one episode as [[East St. Louis, Illinois|East St. Louis]]<ref>the tv episode itself from the early 60's</ref> while Ward is teasing her about her upbringing and they are discussing how they met. June attended boarding school as a youngster and was captain of the school's basketball team. At one point in her young years, she was a student of Cornelia Rayburn, the principal of Beaver's school. It is implied that June had an affluent upper middle class upbringing (contrasted with Ward's middle class childhood) which may in part account for June's fastidious and fashionable clothing tastes throughout the series.  June mentions that she was taught a formal curtsey in the event that she married a diplomat and Aunt Martha frequently proudly refers to their common Bronson lineage.  Ward also mentions the Bronson clan's concerns about Ward providing for June in a manner she is accustomed to at their wedding.  June mentions her [[father]] occasionally. Apparently, he was a practical man, for, according to June, he discouraged her as a child from buying an opal ring in a jewelry store window and urged her instead to spend her money on a pair of [[galoshes]].
