He has become a friend Whom We respect, and We whole- heartedly hail him a grand leader of young people. I3 MR. M. L. CARIKER Assistant Principal Although We do not see him very often at Beaumont High because he is direc- tor ofthe entire Beaumont Independ- ent School District and naturally very busy, everything that could be done for our Welfare and advancement has been done by him. So, We add our voices to the praise that he has received from the hearts of many graduates before. 14 Assistant to our head executive is Mr. Cariker. New to Beaumont High in September, he is now very near and dear to all of us and Well-known for his ever-readiness to offer sympathy and guidance. MR. E. W. JACKSON Superintendent Beaumont High without Mr. Ferguson, our favorite registrar, would be like a ship without a rudder, for, though his seems to be a rather thankless job, we realize that without his counsel our lives and our schedules would become very muddled. Always joking, always good-natured, always our friend. MR. CECIL FERGUSON Registrar BOARD OF EDUCATION The well-being of the students of Beau- mont High School rests in the hands of the Board of Education.

She has a warm smile and a sweet disposition which makes her an asset to any group. Billie Sue seems to want to work in the field of church and religion. Could there be a nobler profession or anyone more suited for it? ANNA ABOOD A possessor of the art of singing, and with brown hair and brown eyes, Anna is setting her cap for Chenier's Business School after graduation. She wants to become a 'vate secretary, and we wish her loads of luck. I Qxv'-1 FRANCES ALLEN rown-haired, brown-eyed Frances plans to Study Archaeology. As yet, she oesn't know where. As one of our senior boys described her: She has a most charming manner with a great deal of brains to go with it.', Her -favorite sports include horseback-riding and fishing. She is very fond of classical music. KATHERINE ALLEN This tall, brown-eyed girl is going to be a very efficient stenographer. As a hobby, Katherine likes 'ito knit one and perl two. She's a whiz at tennis, which is her favorite sport, and she has been a member of numerous athletic teams. LILLIAN ALLISON zC, Five feet two, eyes of blue. Sounds like Sweet Sue but you're wrong, it's Sweet Lillian, one of the prettiest and cutest little blondes that ever graced the 'halls of our dear old Alma Mater. Lillian's ambition is to make some man a go-od-stenographer. Fooled you, didn't I? The other will come later, says Lil. DAVE ANDRUS Some day you may hear of Mr, Andrus, leading oil magnate of this com- munity. For this manly lad, a true Texan, aspires to work with our leading industry, oil. Good luck, Dave, in whatever place the future may find you. fb JENNIE MAE ANGELL If you see someone busily grading typing budgets in 322, you .can be sure it's Jennie Mae, who just loves working for Mrs. Tiemann. Jennie Mae plans to attend Lamar next year, after which she will become a private secretary. THOMAS ANGELL This fellow, though small, will achieve great things. His ambition is to work for Uncle Sam's civil service, which needs such boys as Thomas. Football heads the list of his favorite sports. MAXINE ARNOLD Wham! There goes the tennis ball for another victory and love game. Who's playing? Why Maxine Arnold, the second Alice Marble. Maxinels ambition is to be a private secretary, and we are sure this field will certainly gain a worthy addition. JOHNNIE BARLOW Johnnie, who has been described as 140 pounds of dynamite, is just carazee about golf! His ambition is golf, his hobby is golf, his favorite sport is golf, and his intense like is golf. Yes, and I bet he dreams about it, too. When a fellow likes a thing that much, heis just bound to make good! BETTY JANE BARROW Betty Jane is one of the quiet kind, but you can rest assured that she knows a lot, because her hobby is reading books. She's made a good record in home economics, which should help her, with that blonde hair and those blue eyes, to become a Mrs. PEARL BARRY This brown-eyed blonde, though usually carefree, hopes to some day settle down to the managing of a little cottage. Until then, she is content to spend er time going to shows, football games, and playing tennis and bridge. LESLEY BELL This pretty miss has captured the hearts of all who know her. Babbling, boogie, and buddys are her special dishes, but don't think she doesn't do all right in other things. With all her looks, sincerity, and frankness, it surely won't be Lesley's fault if she doesn't succeed. WYNNE BENNETT Wynne plans to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lawyer. He is to grace the halls of Lamar and then the University of Texas. Knowing Wynne, his fiery arguments and his determination to succeed, we are sure that he wil make good in anything he undertakes. 28 1 1 S if BETTY JO BERTSCHLER Betty Jo wants to be a landscape architect. After a summer course at Texas A. 81 M., she plans to attend Michigan State College of Industrial Arts. She is an excellent swimmer, and her hobby is collecting four leaf clovers and life guards. PATRICIA BIRDEN ' Pat, our most energetic photographic editor of the Pine Burr, plans to attend Lamar College and later Austin College after finishing here. Judging from her excellent record in high school, Pat will surely achieve success in every walk of life. Weill miss her at B.H.S., but we wish her luck. PAT BLAIR Just because he's one of the smartest students in high school, don't think Pat is a bookworm. He enjoys all outdoor sports, and especially likes to go camping. Pat, President of his Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes, plans to go to Lamar and A. 8: M. to study aeronautical engineering. BUD BLOCK Bud is totally indifferent to everything that most boys like-yes, girls. Not even the best looking girls in B.H.S. can wake him up. However, he's a swell football player and, -although his thoughts are in the air the wants to be a flierj, he manages to be quite an addition to our campus. DORA LOUISE BONURA Dora, hazel-eyed, brown-haired, just won't say what her ambition is. But we know whatever field Cmatrimony includedj Dora enters, she will come through with flying colors. Her hobby is dancing, and her favorite sport is tennis. JOSEPHINE BONURA Wouldn't it be fun to be sick if you could have a nurse like Josephine! That might happen some day, for hospitals, medicine, internes, doctors, and all nursy things are what appeal to this dark-eyed lass. Then for diversion, she chooses ice skating and writing letters. NICK BONURA Batter up! That's where brown-haired, brown-eyed Nick plans to be-on the baseball diamond. His hobby is athletics, but before that come blondes and pretty girls. He also enjoys working on old cars. LILLIE PEARL BOYETTE - Underneath this young lady's bubbling spirit is some real ambition. She plans to be a real secretary for some firm. After work, she will take time out to roller skate, dance, and swim, her favorite sports. Lillie Pearl is bound to succeed because of her winning personality. PAT BRADLEY Out of all the girls at B.H.S. we'd say Pat has the prettiest hair of them all. To go with that lovely cheveux is a winning smile that has completely won the hearts of the B.H.S. student body. With these assets and a winning personality, how can she fail to go places? FRITZ BRANDES Although Fritz is slightly on the humorous side, he has his serious moments Cbelieve it or notj, and he's really a swell person to be around, always ready to laugh and have fun and to make you do the same. We don't know any of Fritz's future plans for success, but, knowing this boy, we know he'll be one. BOB BRIDGERS You wouldn't suspect that this funjloving, prank-playing boy aspires to be a doctor, but that's right. And he'll probably be a good one, too, for when Bob decides to do something, he does it. And besides, success couldn't help but come to anyone who is as likable as Bob. EMMA BROOKE Five feet tall, blue eyes, blond curly hair, and a pretty face is a-good description of this fair one. She plans to take up a business course on finishing school and will probably go far with it. The man who will have Emma for his secretary will be very lucky. ' JENNIE MARY BROOKS Jennie's ambition is to become a school teacher, and what student wouldn't love to bring apples to this quiet, helpful, and sweet girl? She plans to attend the University of Texas, and we're sure she'l1 be as well liked there as in B.H.S. JULIA ANN BROUSSARD Here is another one of our cute lassies who aspires to devote their lives to relieving the pains of others. Julia's swell personality is bound to win the hearts of all of her patients. Good luck, Julia, in everything you attempt. 29 Absolutely bubbling over with pep and good cheer, Billy is the sort of boy we all like to be around Loving football and all sports, girls, jokes, and just a good time also add to his likability Billy plans to attend college, and we re sure he ll be a worthy addition to any field he chooses to enter. Marian is an asset to any crowd and she certainly will be to L.S.U. She iq was a color guard for the band two years Marian s ambition is to become an interior decorator with photography as her hobby Best of luck to this blackl 6 Carlyn plans to join the ranks of the women in white. Yes, she plans SE to be a nurse and aid human suffering Her beautiful brown eyes and curly hair will win her many friends Good luck Carlyn, may you realize your A highest ambition N Quiet and pleasant with a sweet smile is the way one admirer of Marvin's 1 pictured him To put him in an even better light we add that he can't stand not having anything to do With ambition like this Marvin will surely rise U! Outwardly Virginia seems so calm unruliled and dignified that who would ever guess that under this seemingly cool veneer IS a warm, friendly nature just bubbling over with happiness and the joy of living. Virginia is also as Here is a sweet girl who is bound to be a success as a stenographer. She plans to go to Lamar Mary Doris has been in the Royal Guards for three years and has received high honors for being the best drummer. Because of MARY BOND CAMPBELL 60416 Mary Bond IS as near perfection as anyone should be. She has charm, poise, graciousness politeness and on and on and is she smart! Her work in the Student Council couldn t be duplicated She is matrlculating in Texas University next Year and then she plans to teach school All we can do is wish her luck. This prima donna of BHS plans to attend Lamar on the Neches next year Her intense like is having one big time Her ambition is to rise high in the world of music and we her friends know that she will succeed. if fwfaffaa ARIAL BROWN 02444 ?' 2 9 Lamar and L.S.U. have claims on this swell B.H.S. band ember, hose ambition it is to be one of them that engineers. No, not a train but a chemical engineer, and we know he'1l be the first to succeed. BEVERLY BROWN Beverly is a swell, all-round girl. She likes football and tennis, and her hobby is making scrapbooks. She plans to be somebody's private secretary after she has finished Chenier's Business College. We know that she will be an efficient one. MAXINE BROWN Maxine intends to go to business college. Some day we shall read in the papers a story written by this ambitious miss and remember that she was in the class of '42. Incidentally, her favorite dessert is chocolate pie. PEGGY JEAN BROWN I'm terribly fickle, but at the present time, I'm aspiring to be an actress. Such a remark is typical of Peggy. However, she is one of those strawberry blonds who know what they want and how to get it. Don't be surprised if you some day read about Peggy Brown, rising young star on Broadway. MARY BROWNRIGG Don't let that quiet manner fool you. just get Mary in a crowd, and she's the life of the party! Mary spends her summers at Camp Fern where she is a swimming and canoeing counselor. B.H.S.'s loss is the State University's gain, but nevertheless we'll miss this gal aplenty. - MARJORIE BRYANT This blue-eyed, red-headed lass fwho hates to be called Red J plans to attend Texas University next year. Her ambition is to become a model, and, with a figure and face like hers, it won't be hard. Someday, in the future, if you happen to look in Vogue, and find a snappy, poised model staring at you, it will probably be Marjorie. 5-2. H Z 3- f L ' ANTHONY CASCIO Here's one fellow who gets a great deal of joy out of life. He always has a big smile for everyone. Anthony has done outstanding playing on the football field this year. He is a lover of sports in general. Good luck to you in the future, Anthony. MARY CHAFOURIS Mary Chafouris, that brown-eyed, brown-haired girl, is irresistible to males and females alike. Mary has been a member of the Royal Guards for three years and vice president of the Spanish Club. She has chosen as her next school, Mary Hardin-Baylor. FRED CHEATHAM Here is one of Beaumont High's most intelligent intelligentsia. He some day intends to write The Great American Novel or something equal to it. And if you can believe one-half of what you hear in a drug store bull session, he'll surely do it. Fred's plans for college are not definite, but We're sure he'll be recognized on any campus as a brilliant and capable student. JOYCE CHESSER Cute, chestnut hair, blue eyes, that's Joyce Chesser, who has been a Color Guard for the B.H.S. Band for two years. Joyce is going to be an asset in the business world fto become a secretary is her ambitionb. Oh! Yes! Joyce just loves to eat popcorn and attend football games. KELLY CHIRAFIS Rumors have persistently maintained for more than two years past that Kelly is considered handsome. Strictly speaking, this is the truth. But besides being pleasant to look upon, Kelly is one of the linest athletes Beaumont High School has produced. His excellence on the basketball court was established when he was a member of the 1941 district champion team. He was a good student, an alfable associate, and a pleasing companion. MARY JO CHIRAFIS Mary Jo's dark hair, green eyes, and olive complexion make her one of the prettiest seniors in Beaumont High School. Her ever-smiling face and peppy spirit have won her many friends, and wherever she goes she will always be loved. GERALD CHRISTOPHER Here he is, girlsjgreen eyes and brown hair. His chief ambition is to be domestically happy. His hobby IS saving silver dollars which should come in very handy to pay for the dream cottage. JIM CLARK You've heard his southern accent and seen the contagious grin of this very argumentative, but very, very, very likeable boy. Jim is cinched places in this old world, for he has the two qualities that really count mind and personality plus. 9 of JACKIE CLIFTON Jackie is a quiet, industrious person. She considers law quite fasci ting and looks forward to being an interpreter in a law office. Her favorite sport IS baseball, and her hobby is the study of Spanish. She takes an active part in both the Spanish and Pan-American Clubs. HELEN COBB Helen, a cute brunette with blue eyes, plans to be a teacher. With her gay personality she is a real addition to anyone's list of friends. We all know how lucky students will be to be taught by her. MARGERY COFFMAN . Perhaps you have often wondered who this quiet, unassuming little girl is? Well, she's Margery Coffman of our own Editorial Staff. It is surprising the amount of work Margery can get done with the little amount of noise she makes! Margery will surely be missed next year. WILLYE RUTH COLE Here is one of those rarer than rare persons. A real old-fashioned, femi- nine, quiet, lovable girl. Boys, for a change, here's a girl who thinks that matrimony is more alluring than the business world and plans a future along such lines. KATHLEEN COLLIER Kathleen's winsome smile and ready willingness have won many friends for her. Kathleen, as so many other girls, intends to venture into the business world, as a private secretary. She likes to swim and to collect pictures of movie stars. MARJORIE COLLIER Yes, another potential nurse in our midst. As training for this, Marjorie plans to go to our own nurse's school at Hotel Dieu. The best of everything to you, Marjorie, for with your' sweet ways you are sure to make any man a good-nurse!

The best of everything to you, Adana, next year at Arlington Hall. PRESTON COOPER Brown-eyed, happy-go-lucky Preston is ambitious in the aeronautic field, and he will undoubtedly succeed. Another thing that we all like about Preston, and that will make for his success, is his ability to take it and make the most of it. Preston, we won't say good lucky' because you wonit need it.

Her patient disposition and depend- ability will be quite an asset in her chosen vocation. Her favorite sport is foot- ball, and she has been a member of the Royal Guards for two years. JIM SCURLOCK l Wham!! Gals, this is one boy who really pulls a terrific punch. And how could he help it with his friendly and happy-go-lucky personality. B. H: S. will miss jimmy next year but, studes, remember-you can't have everything. 47 Q NEOMA SEGURA Tiny, laughing brown eyes, and a gypsy smile is an ideal description of Neoma. Intelligence and friendliness are a rare combination, but certainly she possesses both. Neon-1a's plans for the future are a bit indefinite, but you can be sure that they will include dancing, for this is her favorite pastime. We shouldn't be at all surprised if her name should appear at the top in this profession. DORIS SHAFFER Doris seems to have a way about her that makes her the center of attraction wherever she goes. Maybe it's her dark brown eyes. She's 5'2 , and her pet peeve is for someone to call her Shortyf' Her hobby is making scrapbooks, and she loves skating and dancing. Her ambition is to become a telephone operator, and she is sure to be a success. GORDON SHATTUCK An unwavering cheerfulness, a spirit of cooperation, and a true desire to please both students and faculty members have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Gordon is truly one indivi-dual Qbrunette, by the wayb who desires to make of himself a personality acceptable to all, under every conceivable condition and circumstance. May this be his destiny, to win, and never to lose. LOLENE SHIPPEY Lolene, a very lovely senior, hopes to take up stenography when she finishes school, but, in spite of this pet ambition, she thinks that college will fill her immediate future. She was flagbearer during her junior year and has held many secretarial offices. We know that success will be hers, for she has a rare personality and 'lloadsn of determination. JACK SHOFNER A football player of ability and an actor of fame, Jack is known for his big, broad grin and ,his wit. He has plenty of pep and, though small in stature, is big in character. Shof wants to go to Chicago Art Institute after B. H. S. and become a commercial artist. Here's fifteen for ya, Jack. RUFUS SIFUENTES V Half-pint in size but huge in pep is Rufus, who has high hopes of some- day becoming an airplane technician. Rufus is a staunch supporter of the be disa ointed Purpl d fQ?b s his favorite sport. Here's one boy in whom we'll never i W S me JAMES SIMMONDS James, one of the well-known Simmonds brothers, prefers the Marin to any other branch of this manis armyf' He also especially likes baseball an historyf With such varied interests as these, you can just bet that James is really an all-round fellow and nice to know. DOROTHY SIMS If you should meet a tiny, blond senior while winding through the halls of B. H. S., she would probably be Dorothy Sims. She is very quiet, but one is always aware of her, for you can't forget her sweet smile. Dorothy plans to attend Lamar College and perhaps take up stenography. We know that she will be successful in whatever she undertakes, for her personality and determination will carry her far. Joe SINGLETON Joe is going places. Better put this name down in your little black book, 'cause someday you'll say, I knew him when. But right now Joe says his intense likes are girls, gum, and guns, and he describes himself as having a slight case of lazyitis. But don't let him fool you, he's one of those fellows that can accomplish a thing if he wants to. LOUIS SMITH . Confidentially, we're a hog about 'lAlfalfa. Your lirst impression may make you think he is timid, but give him a chance, and he'll surely change your mind. Fun-loving and likeable, he, strangely enough, aspires to be a lawyer. LULA SMITH In Lula you find a yearn for the medical profession. We can already see this blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl l0oking'quite beautiful in white. Her hobby is riding horses and reading. Best of luck to you, Lula! RICHARD LEE SMITH ' Here's a fella with high ambitions-aeronautics. In fact, he must have'? airplanes on the brain, for he likes nothing better than to build model airplanes. 'ill JT' 35-Q ,gm s ' 3 I L'-L W' We know that this easy-going chap will be as well-liked at A. and M. as he :six a has been here. e . . qs' JEAN SMOLLEN Jean, poised, sweet, and pretty, is a favorite on the B. H. S. campus. Her cheerful smile plus her blond hair and hazel eyes is a great asset. Jean plans to attend the University of Alabama next year. Here's luck to a swell girl! ALVA SMYTHE 5 girl Fine as a fellow student, even better as a friend is the opinion we have -of Alva. He has done well at B. H. S. and plans to continue his studies at Lamar and become an electrical engineer. Keep up the good work, Alva! 48 X n I. D. SPARKS Fifteen for Sparks and yell it! Beloved as he is by all his classmates, as one swell fellow and the Purples' most valuable football player, I. D. still has not gotten the big-head. There is always a smile for those he should happen to meet, and a word or two to those who know him well. It won't be long before we will be hearing about the greatest football player of all times-I. D. Sparks. Good luck to the grandest boy going! CELIA SPEER This black-haired, brown-eyed beauty is really a help to Miss Claire in the office. Capable of handling anything she undertakes, Celia will no doubt rise in her ambition to become a secretary. She will certainly be priceless to some business man. FAY STAGG This No. 1 baseball fan in B. H. S., with his blond hair and blue eyes, wants tio laetliome a xlrilechanic. Th? work we've seen him do in B. H. S. certainly Z proves e' e a goo one.

He does not plan to attend college. His ambition is to operator. His favorite sport is baseball. One of his intense likes is flying expect to hear more of him in the future. WILLIE STEPHENS Willie's favorite pastime is dancing, but she can't dance through life. This jolly girl will have a career. She'll follow the business line by being a stenog- rapher or ollice girl. Willie's smile should carry her far! ...mms ' 1 i . ST. PETER his intense like, and that is the national engineering had better clear the IS the one to make good. Raymond cannot pastime, baseball. The way, for this swell, DOROTHEA STERLING Here is another in our midst who plans to join the ranks of the white collar girls. A great outdoor lover, she is crazy about tennis and boating. Although she moved to Orange before she finished her senior year at B. H. S., she is still well remembered by all who ever came in contact with her. GERTRUDE STERLING Snooks is a lover of going places, good times, dancing, and eating. To put it mildly, she's in love with life. However, there is one thing she simply won't tolerate. That is the popping of gum. We hope your troubles are never any more serious than that! I GLORIA STERLING Gloria knows how to reach a happy medium-she enjoys doing so many things. However, she has decided to specialize in one thing-oilice work. Perhaps this explains why she likes to help Mrs. Parish so much. Because she is such a swell person, there's no doubt in our minds as to Gloria's achieving success in everything she undertakes. ROY STERLING Mix well a friendly smile, a line sense of humor, and a pleasant personality. Now add intelligence and determination and you have Roy Sterling-an unusual combinationg but one we admire tremendously. His plans for the future are indefinite, but we certainly wish him lots of luck in his course at the University of Southern California next year. ' MARY JEAN STEWART Beautiful, but dumb is no longer a current statement. Look at Mary Jean's picture, then her grades. Here is proof that a girl can be smart, even if she is beautiful. Along with beauty and brains goes a very lovable personality. B. H. S. will never forget you, Mary jean, and those who know you will always love you. SEIGLE STEWART Beaumont High will lose one of her favorite sons to Texas A. and M. next year. His ready smile and sunny disposition makes Seigle Stewart a special favorite among his teachers and classmates. Seigle plans to be a petroleum engineer, and we know that he will be a successful one, for anything he under- takes, he does thoroughly. WALTER STEWART The owner of this friendly and happy-go-lucky personality has the knack of getting along well with people. Walter has a pleasant nature and is interested in aeronautical engineering. He will receive further education at A. and M. Walter is a lover of fishing and hunting and hates to fix flat tires in a filling station. Can you blame him! A 49 CARSON SUBLETT We vote Pete,' the best-liked boy in B. H. S., because how coald anyone help but like such a fine person! His slow drawl, friendliness, and swell dis- position have endeared him to the hearts of all who- know him. Pete has made a success of everything he has undertaken, especially his art work and the job of sports editor of the Pine Burr, and we know that in future years, he'll be making a success, too. DORIS SUGGS This attractive blonde is well known around Beaumont High, and she will certainly be missed next year. She is rather quiet, but fond of active sports, especially tennis. This is an unusual combination, but a very attractive one, judging by her popularity. HILTON SUTTON Hilton plans to be a radio operator in the Army Air Corps. His pet peeves are slow drivers or road hogs . His favorite sports are automobile and horse races. He has black hair and blue eyes. He plans to attend Lamar College. DAVID SWITZER David, as co-editor of the '42 Pine Burr has certainly won the friendship of all who attend B. H. S. A fellow with a brilliant smile, he has united am- bition and initiative, and has a knack for getting things done. He plans to attend S. M. U. next year. BILLY TANNER Now we come to that extra special something-Beaumont High's own song writer, Billy Tanner. This young man declares his ambition is to be a draftsmang but if the rest of the world take to his songs like ye ole alma mater , we'll wager we'll a be humming and strumming his melodies some day soon.

She is destined to become a successful secretary because of her precision, ability, and unlimited good humor. She especially likes good music and well- mannered people, and we know that she is particularly fond of short boys, as well. WILLIE RAE THERIOT With her sunny disposition, Willie Rae has identified herself as a good , mixern. With her winning personality, she has acquired many friends. And ,N we know that with her charm and figure, she will become a good model as , she hopes. DM , MARY JANE THOMPSON Here we have a miniature version of Sophie Tucker-and, say, this littl gal can really swing out . Besides having a swell voice and being a strawberry blonde Qwhich is enough in itselfb, Mary Jane is a smooth little dancer. With a personality like the one she sports around, she's really bound to go places ! MARY LOUISE THOMPSON Mary Louise is one of those persons who possess a quiet charm all her own. Such a person would make a wonderful librarian. Isn't it a coincidence that that is exactly what she chooses to become! With that pretty auburn hair and those brown eyes, we know she'll delight many a reader of books. NANCY THOMPSON This tall, blond, Ceveryone likes herb young lady claims DePauw as her alma mater next year, and we surely will miss her here. If you want to know anything about baseball, just ask Pat, because she can tell you. If you want to lind her in the summertime, just drop in at Stuart Stadium. We predict that this swell co-business manager of the Pine Burr will really go places . ESTELLE TAQUINO Estelle plans to take a business course after her graduation. She loves read- ing good -books and going to the movies. In fact she likes nearly everything, and everyone likes her. Best of luck, Estelle. JOHN TORTORIS John's hobby is reading, and it is only natural that his ambition is to be an author. His favorite sport is -baseball. His intense likes are shows and all types of entertainments. He does not plan to attend college, but we are sure he will be a success. ' JOHN TOWER John, the mighty mite of B. H. S., wishes to take up International Law, and his hobby is Texas History. He is also fond of baseball and blondes. After he finishes high school, John Cyou'd never know he was a preacher's sonj will carry himself and his antics to S. M. U. I-, 20g J M Sfskk-.Ss-iss-N-Xtt-as l J. L. TRAHAN Although he has not been with us long, and although we have known him so short a time, we have formed a definite conviction that J. L. is an individual to be admired and emulated. Cheerful, friendly, cooperative, smiling, and al- together likeable, he is the girls, idea of a fine friend, and boys' idea of a good companion. His friends believe, as do all those who know him, that he will go far in what endeavor he undertakes. CLEO TRAUTH Cleo has been an outstanding member of the Royal Guard. She has held the offices of bugle sergeant and corporal of squad 9. She plans to become a nurse in the United States Navy along with a few other B. H. S. girls. Cleo just seems to have all the zip and personality one could ask for, and these qualities will be greatly appreciated in the Navy. KATHERINE TULLY Besides being the possessor of two of the prettiest brown eyes to be found anywhere, Katherine is also one of the best twirlers that the band has ever had. She plans to be a secretary, and we think she would be quite an addition to any oliice. LEWIS 'TURNER . Lewis plans to attend Lamar next year and then take a trip to Pensacola. Lewis is tall, slim, and blonde, and B. H. S. thinks he'll go places. Good luck, Lewis. ' MAX TURNER Care-free Max, he's 5 feet and 11 inches of joking, and how the girls love it. Max spends most of his time extracting himself-usually to the dis- comfort and entanglement of some innocent person-from messes he gets him- self in during his spare minutes. As a perpetual Romeo, he has a swarm of loyal followers. DICK TURNEY Dick certainly isn't the biggest person in our dear old school, but he is certainly one of the nicest. Although scouting is his hobby, his real interest lies in bigger things, for he aspires to be a draftsman. Maybe -he'll even get a job doing this in Washington, D. C.! 5 F 4, GEORGE IWITTY Quiet, pleasant, handsome George, but girls, ain't it tough that this lad seems to have no place in his heart for a nice little lass? We do not know what George's plans are for the future, but whatever they are, they are sure to be successful. Here's to you, George. EDMOND VALLEE Cowboy boots, ten gallon hats, bucking bronchoes, etc. are all very in- teresting to this future rancher. Edmond plans to go to Lamar and later Texas University, and, if we know him, he will win a place for himself no matter where he goes. FLOYD VANDEWATER Those who have been fortunate enough to observe Floyd in the print shop have noticed that he shows more than a passing interest in that type of work. Will he in the future be a linotype operator on some great Metropolitan news- paper, or will he in the not-too-far-distant future be the owner of a printing establishment? He will be able to maintain a high degree of excellence where- ever he is. MARGIE JEAN VICKERS Lucky are the students who will be taught by this little red-head in future years. However, we hate to think of wasting such a charming person on a bunch of unappreciative children . Nevertheless, teaching is what Margie Jean plans to do after graduating from B. H. S. and Sam Houston State Teachers College. DOROTHY WADE This swell, amiable person plans to become a beauty operator. Just by looking at Dorothy, we can tell she practices what she will preach in the line of beauty. Her favorite sport is football, and she enjoys collecting post cards. Lots of luck to you, Dorothy. MARY CAROLINE WALKER It's useless even to try, in a space so small as this, to record the high opinion we have of our gracious senior class treasurer. We'll have to content ourselves with saying that she's as fine a girl as will ever enter the doors of this school. Intelligence, beauty, and sincerity are only a few of her sterling qualities. DOROTHY LOIS WALLACE This intelligent, short, brunette girl plans to further her education next year, but is in doubt as to where she will go. Locky's intense likes are boss operas and Li1' Abner . She takes an active part in the Molly Pitcher and other clubs and will always be an outstanding leader. TOMMY WARD Having had, for most of his high school career, a definite interest in a certain young lady, and having exemplified that type of student who persistently seeks to advance, it seems safe to prophesy that Tommy will no doubt reach his ambition. CWhat this ambition is Tommy has not deigned to say.D For him and his, his classmates wish continued health, success, and prosperity..' 51 ALMA WELLS black-haired, brown-eyed beauty draws us to her with her quiet .charm. has Alma been seen when she didn't look just fresh as a daisy and neat For three years she has fascinated everyone with those lovely long and next year at Lamar, she'll probably just plain fascinate everyone. JACQUELINE WHARTON f:fa,m,,,,,U., Jacqueline, one of our prettier hazel-eyed seniors, plans to follow steno- graphic work after her graduation from Beaumont High. Besides having ar sweet and friendly disposition, she is very generous with her time and helps whenever and whomever she can. She was a member of the Royal Guards for three years. We wish you all the luck in the world, Jackie , JAMES WHITE Tickets, tickets. This is what James will be saying in years to come when he is conductor on a big streamlined train. On his days off, he will probably go hunting, since that's his favorite pastime. James is not going to college, since school is his pet peeve. RUTH WHITLOCK Jh Practically exploding with personality, this young miss goes about B. H. S. making our stronger sex weaker, especially a tall, brunette senior. Brains, wit, looks, charm - - - do you want me to go on? Although small, Ruth has surely occupied a large place in the heart of B. H. S. We sincerely wish her the best of every thing! . WILBERT WHITTEN Wilbert, whose hobby is woodwork, is going to be an aviator. He will go to Lamar and then to A. and M. His favorite sports are tennis and ice hockey, in both of which he has been active. HIRAM WHITTINGTON Drummer boy!!! And this is one boy who can really give on those drums. Hiram, that boy with the mischievous, contagious grin that we all like so much, insists that his dream is to pilot a Navy plane, but we're pretty sure he could give Gene Krupa some stilf competition. Anyway, all the luck in the world, Hiram. JOY ALICE WICKER Joy loves Home Ec. and plans to major in it if she goes to college next year. To top this off, she wants to be the foremost dietitian of the country. She has the ability to do it, and we know she can. NORA GARVIS WIGGINS Although Red came from Port Arthur last year, we love her anyway. She loves to dance more than anything else right now fand she is excellent at itl, but some day we imagine she'll settle down, and, all we can say is lucky fellow! MARTHA WILSON This pretty little senior's ambition is to be a dress designer, and, as her hobby is drawing, we are sure she will succeed. Her favorite sport is football, though she likes all sports. Her pet peeves are bragging too much and two- faced people. She plans to attend Lamar and then Texas State College for Women. VIRGINIA WOLFE Virginia has a habit of blossoming out in some of the cutest clothes, invariably when everyone else is looking rather down-at-the-heels . Add to this personality plus and naturally curly hair! What else could you ask for? Everyone hated it when Virginia moved to Austin, and we take this oppor- tunity to say, 'lWe surely do miss youf' ORVILLE WRIGHT K 1ll'I0lM,Wt After he graduates here, Orville wants to go to Kilgore Junior College and then Baylor. If he were in the service, he would choose the air corps and plans to work in something of an aeronautical nature in the future. Orville has been a faithful member of the football team, and a swell addition to our campus. ' HELEN YIANITSAS Helen is another of those girls who trip the light fantastic , and she really has the technique. Helen believes in lots of fun such as movies, dances, singing, skating, etc., etc., and, incidentally, we know she will always be one to have the good times. I DUTCH ZERNIAL Some day in the near future, if you happen to read about this engaging young fellow as having the highest batting average in the major leagues, don't be at all surprised: For his splendid record as one of the mighty Purple base- ball players proves to us that he will go far in the right direction. Southern California is most fortunate to receive Dutch.

After the first play the Hornets took possession of the ball because of a fumble, scoring within six plays from the Purples' 21. A pass accounted for the extra point. johnson, Cascio, and David- son continued a drive after the kickoff to the Athens' 18 where the ball was lost on downs. During the second quarter the Purples started another drive on their own 23 an-d ended on the Hornets' 1, where LaRue kicked the Hornets out of danger. The air was filled with Purple passes during the third quarter in which time the Athens' goal was again threatened. But a Beaumont fumble on Athens' goal line led to another Hornet attack and touchdown. 1. Athens tries for extra point. 2. Davidson around right end. Lufkin During the first quarter it seemed to be anybody's game, but for the rest of the contest Lufkin overpowered Beaumont. Lufkin's first score was made in the second quarter when the Panthers started a drive from the Purples' 48. The try for extra point was good. Lufkin again received the ball and within six plays had made another touchdown and extra point. The Purples took the ball to the Panthers' 45 where they lost it, and there Lufkin started another drive again scoring and making good the conversion. The Panthers' last tally came when Hughes in- tercepted a Purple pass and sped 55 yards for pay dirt. The try for extra point failed. 5. Cascio is bulldogged. 4. Cascio hits the line. Stephen F. Austin A crowd of Beaumont fans, who went on a special train to Buffalo Stadium in Houston watched the Royal Purples lose this third game of the season in a sea of mud. Austin's flrst touchdown was made in the fourth play of the game by Dewey Helcamp who galloped 52 yards to the goal stripe. Late in the fourth quarter a Beaumont pass was intercepted on the Purples' goal line to account for Austin's other touch- down. Only once did the Royal Purples threaten the Mustangs' goal when in the third quarter passes carried them to Austin's 15. 5. Touchdown bound. 6. Shofner is a trifle muddy. Jacksonville The Jacksonville Indians carried away an 18 to 0 victory over the Royal Purples in Beau- mont's fourth game of the season. The Purples threatened twice in the first quarter, and it seemed as if it would be the Purples' game. Sparks once carried the ball as far as the Indians' 4 yard line, and Danna carried it again to the 1. But both tries failed because of fumbles. Wo- mack of Jacksonville managed to get on the loose and scatted 70 yards for the first score. Beaumont's only threat in the third period was a 48 yard run by Shofner. However, the Indians again took over and made another score on passes. The Indians' Womack again got loose in the fourth quarter and galloped 63 yards for the final score. 7. Roy's going somewhere. 8. Sparks ploughs through Jacksonville line. 76 Conroe For the first few minutes of the first quarter it seemed to be all Beaumont's game with Sparks and Davidson leading the attack. But Davidson fumbled a punt on the 30, and after that it was Conroe's game. In the second quarter Conroe took to the air and made their first score, the second was made by Crow in the third quarter, who raced 54 yards to the goal. In the last period the Tigers began another drive which resulted in another touchdown and conversion. l. Bulldog ready for the kill. 2. Get him, Shof, Roy, and Charlie! Goose Creek In this game Beaumont broke its scoreless jinx when Charlie Danna crossed the Ganders' goal line in the fourth quarter, although they were defeated 55 to 7. The Purples were strong defensively the hrst quarter, but fell down both defensively and offensively until the middle of the last period when they began playing fine ball. The Ganders scored in the second and third quarters. Charlie Danna carried the ball over from the Ganders' 4 near the end of the game for the first Purple touchdown of the year. Jerry johnson added the extra point. 3. Davidson avoids the Ganders. 4. Roy tried hard-uh. Orange For the first time in twenty years a Beau- mont High team was defeated by an Orange team, led by Macfarland and Prince, by a score of 12 to 0. Both touchdowns were made by passes in the first and second quarters. The Royal Purples managed to hold the Tigers for the rest of the game, and at the very last even seemed to be goalward bound but could not keep it up long enough to score. 5. Macfarland of Orange hits the line. 6. Prince of Orange returns punt. Galveston This year Galveston beat Beaumont for the nrst time in 21 years by a score of 30 to 7. For the lirst three quarters, however, the game was fairly even, until the last quarter when the Tors score-d three times. The only bright spot of the afternoon for the Purples came in the fourth quarter also, when Jack Shofner received the ball on his own 4 and raced 96 yards for the score. 7. Stretch high for that ball, Shof. 8. Hold these Tors, boys! 77 3 , , .irig I, Q W ,ish if V vi .Qzi E sz 'Q Wg xp, , A 5 , ,.' R .

Q Beaumont vs. Port Arthur The Beaumont High Royal Purples made up for all previous losses this year by defeating the Port Arthur Yellow jackets, the first team to do so in ten turkey days, in as exciting a game as we have ever witnessed. A pass from Sparks to Davidson and a history-making run by jack Shofner accounted for the two touchdowns. Beaumont received the kick-off, and, after one of Sparks' punts was blocked on his own 57, the Yellow jackets took over and in several tries made the score 7 to 0. For the rest of the half both teams held their own. The Purples returned to the f1eld at the beginning of the second period a revised team. With the ball down in jacket territory, Sparks passed one to Cascio for a would-be touchdown, except for the fact that the head-linesman ruled that Cascio's knee had touched the ground. The third quarter opened in favor of Beaumont. With the ball on the jacket 45, Sparks began passing until David- son caught one near the left side-line, ran over several would-be tacklers, and was over for the score. The try for the extra point failed, making the score 7 to 6. Port Arthur began another drive which was stopped when Keen covered a fumble on the Purple 12. With only five minutes to play, the Beaumont fans were begging for 6 points, even 2 points. Very unexpectedly, fleet-footed Shofner received a punt from Zoch, dodged several tacklers, picked out his interference, and scatted S3 yards for the winning touchdown. The crowd went wild. Sparks place-kicked for the extra point. Score 13 to 7. For five of the largest minutes we have ever spent, we waited for the gun. It came! Beaumont had beaten Port Arthur!

MARION MOTLEY RAYMOND ALFORD Captain Head Coach ke Gilbert Sheppard Dick lvers John Odie Stewart Tommy LaRousse Marion Motley Charles Wright Rodney Duron Jim Clark Freshman Squad HHSKHHH The Beaumont High Royal Purples started off the season this year by attending the Conroe tour- nament at Conroe, losing 3 out of 4, and Winning the Galveston game. The cage team then entered the city league. They carried away victories over French and St. An- thony, but failed to beat the South Park Greenies in one of the most exciting games of the year. In this particular game there were two overtime periods with the Greenies finally Winning out with a 43-41 score. Consequently, they failed to Win the city league, South Park doing so. Galveston was the first team that the Purples met in the District play-off, defeating them 21-19. They continued this good playing throughout the rest of the year, being defeated by South Park and Port Arthur only. At one time the Purples had a chance to become district champions when Charles Wright made a Winning shot against Port Arthur in an overtime period, but the Jackets Won their remaining games, making themselves champions.

Lead by fleet-footed Pete Zummo and Weight- expert Jerry Johnson, the Purples cap- tured the meet with a 65M point score over a 362 score made by the runners- up, Port Arthur.

As you all know, that team went to the state meet. - Af. With Block, Scurlock, Hauver, and Motley returning from that team, and with several newcomers, the B.H.S. nine is swiftly rounding into shape. But don't think they have an easy job ahead of them, for they will have to play against teams with more experience. Although the starting line-up had not been announced when the Pine Burr went to press, it will probably be drawn from the following: Wiggins, Block, catchers, Mouton, Jones, Switzer, pitchers, F. Randall, T. LaRousse, DuBois, Hauver, Sudduth, Litherland, Motley, Duron, infieldersg Smith, Weinbaum, Scurlock, Davidson, W. Johnson, Tower, outfielders. Coaches are Raymond Alford and Moody Pickett. The student body this year had more pep and vigor than ever before. The chief reason for this was as fine a bunch of cheer leaders as Beaumont High School has ever seen. Little Joe Litherland Clittle in body, not in voicel served very well as head cheer leader. His voice could al- ways be heard above all, and he knew which yells and songs to call for at all times. Not only his but also the pep and school spirit of Jim Kelly, Billy Howell, Betty McKee, William Holland, and Jane Adams, stirred the student body into heart-felt yelling and singing at all pep rallies and foot- ball games. Although the football team met with eight defeats in a row, these cheerleaders never let them down. Instead they gave the student body more and more school spirit until by the time of the South Park and Port Arthur games they were behind the team 10023. , . l X, I , fl. if -if gifted ff 1 1 I I fff ff 1 , I I 7, ,full i .1 ' 7 1 Ns., QLQQ liHats offi the 1941 cheerleaders.

YNY 4 Ellllllllll Ullllllllll The cafeteria staff measured up to its usual standards of excellency this year, by prepar- ing wholesome, tasty food for the students of Beaumont High. Mrs. Bryan headed the cafe- teria staff and was always on the job. In spite of the war, the various shortages, and steady rise of prices, a well balanced meal could be had by the student for a surprisingly low price. It's hard to realize the difficulty of prepar- ing food in large quantities and still preserv- ing its tastiness. But despite such difficulties, our most able cafeteria staff prepared food that was good, and good for us.

They do odd jobs about the office, run errands, collect attendance sheets and everything else that's expected of an of- fice assistant. This year's staff of oflice workers have proved their efficiency and willingness to be of real service by working diligently at the tasks assigned them. These tasks aren't always easy. One must work among the office assist- ants to really appreciate the hard work that these school-minded students devote an hour to each day.

The band backed the Beaumont High athletic teams by playing and marching at every football game in which its team participated during the 'forty-one season, by playing at several basketball games, and by playing at all pep rallies. The band played for several assembly programs, gave several outside concerts, and marched in several parades. Among the band,s many public appearances were a concert given at the Jefferson Theatre, of which part of the proceeds Went to the band, and a concert for the Gene Autry Ro- deo at the Houston Fat Stock Show. Most of the credit for the band's successful season goes to its excellent and Well-liked director, Mr. Myron Guither, who is a hard Worker and an accomplished musician.

WELDON WEBB The Girls' Chorus under the splendid leadership of Mrs. Littmann is recognized as one of the best in this part of the state. When 150 young voices sing in three or four parts, it is truly inspiring. Among other things the girls presented a Columbus Cantata with the Boys' Chorus, and a Christmas program in assembly. They sang under Dr. Bain at the T. S. C. S. in the All-State High School Chorus. Also they sang for the Rotary Club, Kiwanis convention, and for the Wo- man's Club Music Department.

The boys have sung for assembly on numerous occasions including the Columbus Day Program and Christmas Program. They also participated in outside programs and were received everywhere with enthusiasm.

The unheralded hero of the play and assembly program is the man backstage Who operates the lights and curtains, rearranges settings, a n d changes sets between scenes. The stage hand comes to all rehearsals whether they be after school or at night. He has to be the first one there and the last one to leave. He Works With- out recognition or glory. Upon him depends the success or failure of many assembly programs. Our sta ge technicians for 'forty-one and 'forty-two have served their school faithfully. They have done all that has been expected of them and more. They will go down in Beau- mont High stage history as one of the most co- operative and efficient backstage staffs the school has ever had.

The Beaumont High School News provided the students with plenty of laughs, and interesting entertainment this year. With the instruction and aid of the inimitable Miss Marjory Keohane, the journal- ism classes of the first and second semester furnished the students a good newspaper every two weeks. The first semester staff went eagerly to work to get the paper off to a good start, and when they got started they clicked like a well trained team. The fine spirit of cooperation that prevailed among the staff members was a factor that contributed greatly to success of the paper.

The aims of the club were to create a better appreciation of Drama in the school and to pro- vide entertainment through the presentation of plays. Since this club is affiliated with the National Thespian Dramatic Honor Society the goal of everyone was a membership in this society. The Thespian So- ciety is an organization formed to promote better Drama throughout the nation.

I am now speaking of the Senior play, The Barretts, which stands out as the best performance ever put on or tried to be put on by a senior high school class. Betty Marks, as the charming, graceful, Elizabeth Barrett, better known as Ba,,' lived her part from the beginning to the end. If you or I had ever known Robert Browning, I'm sure we could picture him exactly as he should be, by Jerry Johnson,s portrayal of him. N0 part in the play could have been played any better, for the whole thing was done to perfection.
