NIARY ELIZABETH LOVVE Editor FRANK O'BRIEN Business fllamzger My Friday 13th was a lucky day for Bluefield because the first service club was founded on that day in April 1918. Its motto is 'fService above Self. Nowhere has the motto of Kiwanis International- XVe Build - found greater exemplification than in Blueiield. This club immediately brings to our minds its excellent and outstand ing Work in helping the blind. It was organized in April, 1922. The only Woman's civic club in Bluefield was founded on May' 8, , ' ' . C T N 17 Claw of 192-1. It lives up to its motto-' We Share. of our last year in Beaver is included in this section with such features as: Administration, Citizenship Contest, and Classes. and social organizations were an important feature of our entire stay', at Beaver.

Board of flcfucafiozz mf! cgctflez- Lfzizsncfenzfi U55 cqcfminisffzafion No one is in doubt about the importance , of the Administration in an educational in- stitution. It is the Administration which makes the Wheels go around and the plant run smoothly. It is with great pride that the students of Beaver High School point to the successful operation of their school during the school year of 1939-1940. And they feel that the success was due largely to the eiiiciency of the board, superinten- dents, and principles, because it was in their hands that the management and maintain- ance was placed. C. W. JACKSON, Principal 8. OB May I have a slip to class? . . .But, Mr. Bolen, my family knew that I was absent yesterday. . . . Something told me that I should have stayed in school! These are only a few of the remarks which can be heard at any time in the office on the first floor. In the main office lVlrs. lfrancis, our sec- retary, reigns supreme. Her oflice is a busy place for she has the affairs of more than a thousand students to handle, not to men- tion the correspondence, the attendance which must be checked each day, and count- less other duties. Probably no other oflice has ever gained notoriety so quickly as has the small ollice to the right of M1'. Jackson's. Here Mr. Bolen sympathetically helps the boys and girls solve their problems. He is always willing to confer wisely and graciously with those who are in need of advice. Constituting the machinery by which our won-ldl' at Beaver is governed, we have always found these oflices ready to assist our every need. ecwaz cgiczfioof H. H.

They are-and should be- thankful that they were born to speak the best language in all the world . . . English has the good qualities of all other languages -the conciseness of the French-the vigour of the German-the liquidity of the Italian-and the sonorousness of the Span- ish. Language is never dull, for it is an art and just as sure a refuge as music or literature and We know that We are not truly educated until We have a command of our Mothei' Tongue. VVith this sub- ject of language all of the teachers, above, L. TQ? Q were 5533 are concerned. They guide us in our writ- ing, speaking, and reading. The study of English is not all technical however, that is just one of the important phases. In the English department of Beaver We find diversified entertainment in the Way of drama, publications, and creative Writing. If you were one of those peculiar species who had to wait for inspira- tion and took no part in perspiration, Why -that Was all right too, for in creative writing you were given the assignments early in the fall and many moons passed before May first deadline-or Laurel Day. at 5 fwfr.-- 51291256 The English department also aims to make the great literature of the World a vital part of the student's experience, and through independent study and guided reading, to broaden his mental horizons and to tit him for a richer life.

The everyday life of the average man or woman brings frequent occasions which demand commercial skills. These skills are useful and even necessary to the young person who would earn his own living. Our students realize this fact and crowd into the commercial classes and emerge able to hold their own in a business world that de- mands speed and accuracy. Our commerf cial department offers courses in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, commercial arith- metic, and commercial law. Typing is a very popular subject with both the com- mercial and college preparatory students. x x rl' Science! Mathematics!-There's some- thing very intriguing about those two sub- jects say many of the Beavers and a curio- sity that just can't be explained impels EMI Trying to prove that AB is I to CD is Carter Wade who likes delving into the mysterious realm of planes. Miss Ratcliffe argues much Of arc and of circumference Diameter and such. . Standing-Virginia Gwinn, Miss Rat- cliffe, June Deaumer. Seated-Evelyn Mays intent on the explanation and Harry i Rice, whose mind is on some project of his own. Chemistry holds a strange fascination for these Juniors-VVayne Cofer, Jack Hall, and jack Counts. They are seen observing the changes in the weight of metals after they have been heated. them to study these subjects far beyond the requirements of any high school course. The curriculum requires only plane geo- metry, solid geometry, and advanced alge- midi to Ong use bra, but many enjoy trigonometry and drafting, especially the engineering en- thusiasts. That's a very fortunate bent however, for in the study of mathemtics they de- velop a solid foundation for further pur- suit of the sciences and we are living in an age when the importance of science in our everyday life is recognized. Some of the important results of progress made in science are the mechanical advances that we just take for granted in this modern age-things like the Edison lamp that lights the world and that marvelous achievement, the radio. The debt which the modern world owes to science is incalculable. Amer- ica's discovery was a result of improve- ments of the mariner's compass. Science includes such branches of know- ledge as astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry, Zoology, and botany. Excel- lent courses in the important branches of science are available to Beavers who are in- terested. They have general science, bio- logy, chemistry and physics. The tendency of the times is to apply scientific methods to every important ac- tivity of modern life-in the factory, to increase the output-in salesmanship, to advance the art of selling-in education, to encourage the seeing, finding and test- ing of knowledge in subjects like sociology and economics. The science students are constantly find- ing new and fascinating worlds to explore! Below are the Beaver faculty memb rs of the mathematics and 'ence' ents. H. H . BOLEN Science LAURA V.

Left to ,right-Betty Poe, June Beane, Nlargaret Grimes, Harold Porter- Held, Tyler Easley, Joan Cannon. SOCIAL SCIENCE The duty of these faculty members to the right, is to build citizenship through history and government. The students in this department are really interested for they'll turn over half a library to get their reports and floor talks ready. And such things, as community plans, please them too. The American History class quiz in assembly proved just how practical a course in American History can be. It is the study of the gradual development of a great nation, a great democracy! Demo- cracy-that reminds us-Thelma Wilson, Winner of the American Legion Scholar- ship, can tell us all about our Democracy and Why We should be proud of it. fixfaafzf .f owsfz .530 PRACTICAL ARTS Beaver prides itself on its two line phy- sical. education teachers. They tell us that we find strong minds in strong bodies. Then there's Miss Bartlett of the Practical Arts Department who will tell us that diet has a great deal to do with strong bodies and this is one of the important phases of the work taken up in both girls, and boys' foods classes, and in the preparation of food both boys and girls show expert cul- inary power. Ah, such cakes .... And the lovely, stylish garments made in the Home Economics Department would lead one to believe that the girls there really learn by doing. They know what the well-dressed student should wear. Mr. Blessing's course in mechanical drawing is a sure foundation for engineering and architecture.

Mary Elizabeth has the distinction of having served on the Annual staff for three years and was this year Editor-in-Chief. Hope Lilly and Mary Stone lV1oseley as Co-Chairman gave us one of the most beautiful Carnivals in the history of Beaver. Their ability was widely praised, too, in Girl Reserves and the Beaver Annual Staff, Where each did the very highest type of work. Ann Meador Was the student body's choice for Queen of the Carnival. She also had the leading role in the Senior Play. Ann always thrills her audiences-and so does Thelma VVilson, our speaking star, who Won the American Legion scholarship with her original oration. fg I,l.d,,,L.1-X-' . ,4'J'i Ly! :,- of 5 I TA f fi e feed A if ii , L f f ' i 'I I .

He gave us a bigger and better annual-you will all agree. Frank well deserves the honor bestowed upon him. The runners-up are outstanding seniors too. Bill Tabor, a very popular boy, was elected president of the class. YVade Stinson served as Arts-Editor on the annual staff and as Editor-in-Chief of the Beaver Press. Harry Rice appeared in the various music groups. Frank Turpin an adept cameraman, was Photographic-Editor for the yearbook. All of these ten students are members of the National Honor Society and all of them had important places in the Beaver Carnival. N - x ,.

Q 7 Q40 guniofz Cfczm Dfkmzi Our class was destined to get off to a good start the first year with the election of a group of very capable oflicers: Florence Bostian, Joe Black, and Sis VVarden. We showed the Beavers that we had ar- rived with a lot of school and class spirit for we made that old balcony ring with our loud cheers for Beav- er. The whole school felt our fresh vitality that year when We put Joe Black and Tommy Lucas on both the football and basketball teams, and Barbara Ann VVilliams in the Forensic and Thespian Societies. Wle really liked the grind at Beaver and were eager to return the fol- lowing fall. And that fall . . . we were bless- ed with the new dignity of being out of the rat class, in fact we felt ourselves almost as important as the Seniors themselves. And now that we have passed the middle milestone in our high school career, we begin to look forward to the time when we as Seniors can really take over the reins of the school. Our last year! May it be as happy and successful as the iirst two!

VVe had been eminent and mighty hgures in Junior I-Iigh, when suddenly We had to change to the lowly sophomore class at Beav- er. 'We chose Isaac Fuqua, Bill Kirk, and Juanita Bruce to lead our class. After the election We settled down to Work and soon found ourselves making a record that We will be proud to leave behind When We graduate. Other reflections remind us of the great 'E football. and basktball season with the pep meetings, big games, and 'fBeat Princetonlv -Remember? Before We realized what had happened We had entered thoroughly into the swing of all activities open to us and as spring came on We began to realize what an important event in Beaver is the Carnival.

It is every stu- dent's dream to Walk in the carni- val as a senior, and all those who have any part in the festivities will long remember the carnival at Beaver. Hamm...--Lane-.Jn The traditional Beaver Carnival celebration With The Jewel Box theme Was presented in the gym- nasium before a large audience, which applauded loudly as Queen Ann and King Vernon led their court in a procession toward the throne. In the course of the evening there were a number of group dances for the court's entertainment. A All Beavers were loud in their acclaim of Stone Mosel,y and Hope Lilly Who acted as Student Direc- tors. The Senior Class production for 19-HJ, JUNE MAD, was a comedy Concerned with the problems of young people. Ann Meador as Penny XVood and Harold Royer as Chuck Harrisv in the leading roles opened the play with a fenc- ing scene and much talk about Chuck's glider. Ev l R fx 1 If 'U ' QP2 djwkmr wr 41 ..

Here, they are putting the finishing touches to the classroom write-ups while Marjorie Kincaid, Margaret Grimes and Tommy Barrett search for new ideas. Wle have especially tried to give you a pictorial record of a year in Beaver and Mary Stone Mosely and Frank Turpin have been responsible for the informal photographic Copy, VVe find them in the shop too, with the Art Editor, VVade Stinson, studying layouts and looking for ways to improve them. 'We are proud of their achievemients and we are equally grateful to Betty Bailey, the typist for her efiicient work. The whole staff gave gen- erously of their time and ability to produce a representative Beaver Annual. A sincere, friendly record of a year in Beaver has been our aim. YVe shall never forget the valu- able experience that we of the staiif have gained through our own eiiorts, the sense of responsibility, the feeling of independ- ence-all, things that go to make a co- curricula activity an experience long to be remembered and of real value to us in later life. Although the following people are not students at Beaver, they have, by their close cooperation, helpful advice, and service, come to be regarded almost as members of our staff-To them we express our deep appreciation.

VVhen the editorial staff Wasn't in the Work shop, we could be sure of find- ing Frank there checking on his advertis- ing, the sales or some such matter. Under the exceptionally efiicient man- agement of circulation managers, Ann Meador and Doris Eubank, the distribu- tion has been excellent. For the first time in the history of the school the seniors bought annuals one hundred percent. For the first time in the history of annual pub- lishing in Beaver, there have been head- aches over padded covers, but john Gor- don took over that problem and handled it quite successfully, while Frank was reaching that high goal in advertising and Ann and Doris were selling every senior a book. These results are certainly de- serving of mention. Bill VVhite and Rich- ard seem to be solving problems all their own. FRANK O'BRI EN B usiness M amz gen' Frank Turpin and Fred Troy are check- ing their photography equipment, prepara- tory to taking some pictures. Frank O'Brien's advertising staff in- cludes Mary Frances Meade, Hope Lilly, Stone Mosely, and Shirley Lennett, who are deserving of great credit for their part in the book's financial success. The business stafT's troubles have all ended. The Beaver is out! A book Which, we believe, is representative of our Dear Old Beaver.

At this district contest, Ann Nleador and Barbara Ann VVilliams were selected for the All District Cast and Barbara Ann placed as the best actress in the district. Holding no regular meetings, the Chap- ter of the Quill and Scroll in Beaver High School is merely an honorary organization. Nleeting the requirements set forth by their Work on the staff of the Beaver Press for one semester, these people have become members of this national journalistic society.

Believing that students who achieve exceptional scholastic success in English should have recognition, and wishing to encourage high scholarship in high school, a small group in 1930 drew up the plans for an honorary scholastic society for students of Beaver. Its one qualification for membership is an A average for all English courses, but once you're in the club you are allowed the disgrace of one HBH . This group drew up a constitution and adopted as its purpose the encouragement and stimulation of English study. Miss Alberta Woodford was elected an honoray mem- ber and adviser. Mrs. Ruth S. Rice became its second adviser in 1933. The club always assists the teachers of the English department with the program for Laurel Day when students who have done good creative writing present their work to the student body in an interesting way. Usually a play of some sort is used as a frame- work. The club then edits these Writings in one volme called Laurel Leaves. Another important service of this club is the presentation of a beautiful gold medal on graduation night to the senior who has the highest average in English throughout his three years in Beaver. 56.

Don't park in front of the East door! Remember these cries? All through the year these demands were heard all over the school from members of the Student Council. You may have gotten tired of hearing these and many other admonitions, but they were for your own benefit. The purpose of the Student Council is to better the school, improve the students and aid the faculty. During the past year this body did many worthwhile things. It took over and enforced the hallway patrol, kept the doors at assembly, prohibited students from parking in front of any doors, and aided the faculty in every way possible. This year the Student Council was under the sponsorship of Mr. Bolen, the assist- ant principal, who was very helpful in his advice. To belong to this council, one must be elected by popular Vote of his home room, have an average of 80 on all subjects, and no failing grade on any subject regardless of average. 57.

Officially representing the school in the group vocal division is the A Cappella Choir. Under the talented direction of Miss Elizabeth Shelton, it has grown until it is now recognized as one of the finest choirs in the entire state. At the State Music Convention this choir tied for first place with Clarksburg. The A Cappella Choir came into its own during the Christmas season when it caroled in the halls of Beaver, sang for the community Christmas Tree and went caroling on Christmas Eve. The choir stimulates interest in music in our school and community and brings much talent to light. ln the summer, Miss Shelton takes small groups to Mt. Herman, Massachusetts, where they receive training from Dr. John Finley lVilliamson, director of the famous VVestminster Choir. 58. ff In - , A-9L6G,a.f' QS-fwccgj 5' 4,,g,5,4ff1.LVfC-ii J 4 ' . 1 ,Y feral. h, hr J 'kffpffffj will Ejlxyavf is :Ki T73 gg: If if: A449711 Qu V ,A . - sv 'A 0 f W 1 IMA, Cz,-if 1 L-Lg.7:f' -aeylfi ,QIIQ - Mg X61 ,, . ii! ilk, 'fffiefl' CLAY.-E. f1',f,,,, VY, , , U k ' ii I, . , X f fu fc MH ,alfa C.- Jaw ff 4 -'U tl C J-.Vg ifffif, I jf , .'

In the spring we can see these seventy-five members picnicking across East River Mountain. During the past year they were entertained with several teas and to top it all-a barn dance and a dinner party at Kirkland lnn. The finest courtesy extended the Choir during the past term, however, was the banquet given by Dr. S. VV. Moore in honor of Miss Elizabeth .D Shelton and the Choir members. Rev. Moore is the patron saint of the Beaver A Cappella Choir. He has our love and greatest respect. By its fine spirit of endeavors in these many activities, and in its thorough cooperation in any worthwhile project, the A Cappella Choir has assured for itself a continued position as one of the leading organizations in Beaver. It is a real privilege to be a member. 59. U65 Beaoaz Udo Olga Daugherty, Ruth Dawson, Sarah Bishop.

And truly enough, these nine handsome boys' of the Beaver Octette are the answers to the maiden's prayers. Not only by their good looks have they Won our hearts, but they can really sing.

Strike up the band! Of course we mean the Beaver Band, resplendent in their maroon uni- forms. Remember how faithful the band turned out for every football game? VVhen our spirits were lagging, the band would burst forth with our school song and inspire us to give our best. And what would assembly programs have been without the band? They played for almost every pro- gram, greeting us at the doors with strains of martial music. Remember the big Christmas parade? The band was an important factor in it. And remember when Bob Bowman, the big league pitch- er, came home? Our Beaver Band welcomed him at the station and escorted him through town. So, you can see how much in demand they were, which proves just how good our band is. 62.

Face Life Squarely: This appropriate phrase is the motto of the Girl Reserves, one of hte most active and praiseworthy organiza- tions in Beaver. This club consisted of about 268 members Who have as their purpose To Find and Give the Best. The girls were very active during the year with such projects as sponsoring the Thanksgiving program for the school, the benefits of which Went to the needy people. Soon after the dolls Were distributed to the Girl Reserves to dress for the Community Christmas Tree. Now don't think that it is all Work and no play! Last fall, We attended the Girl Re- serve Conference in Danville, Virginia, and everybody had a good time. Supper meet- ings are given once a month at the Y. YV. C. A. with which organization the Girl Reserves cooperate. There is a summer camp for the best Girl Reserve Wlorkers. So you see, the Girl Re- serves have lots of fun, too. ,A The Girl, .Reserves also Work with the churches. Each member is encouraged to devote much of her time to the church. Many of our meetings are purely devotional. Each section in the school has its own special project to carry out. Some sections helped the Y. VV. C. A. in various things, others gave aid to the poor directly. Every member is kept busy all the time. Now We say goodbye to the Girl Reserves -long may their Work be bright!

After organ- izing in the fall of 1925, they quickly be- came one of the most Well-known organiza- tions of the high school. Advocating clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living in every Way, they may be held up as an example of what is right for the other students to follow. This year the state Hi-Y Conference Was held in Bluefield. Tomorrow's cooks and hostesses-We call the members of the Max-ketiiig and Serving Club. Under the guidance of Miss Ruth Bartlett, the girls are taught how to shop eco- nomically, but at the same time how to prepare tasty and attractive dishes. They are also taught the art of table decoration, setting, serving, and etiquette for all times. The Marketing nad Serving Club is an ac- tive organization. It serves at each meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association and at our Annual Party. :i Di fftif f Kirk ,a 1' I A I A Shoulders back!! Chin up!! Stomach in!! YValk straight! By these qualities we are able to distinguish a truly gracious lady- which isa synonym for a member of the Prim Priscilla club. In addition to these essential proprieties, the Prim Priscilla is taught how to be well-groomed, well-dressed, and well- mannered. This club was established in Beaver in 1925. From then on it has greatly enliven- ed the lives of Beaver students. It started out as a small, unknown club, but gradually grew in size and popularity until today it is the largest and one of the most important clubs in Beaver. There is perhaps no activity in the school which the Prim Priscillas and John Aldens, the brother club, do not sup- port wholeheartedly.

VVho will be queen? These are the questions that echo through the halls every year about the middle of Nlarch. And who is responsible for all this commo- tion and interrogation? None other than the Prim Priscillas and John Aldens. They are the ones Who are behind that great factory of entertainment-the annual Carnival. The election of the king, queen, court, the laurel chains, and the preparation of the program, Hill, Shumate, Lucas, Keesee, Greever, rson, Brown, Moore, Connell, Hamhrick, throne, decoration, and booths are products of the labors of the Prim Priscillas and John Aldens too. Since the Prim Priscillas are interested mainly in furthering the ability of the use of one's hands to better one's self, they year- ly reward the girl who is judged as having done the best work in sewing with a gold medal. These clubs started off this past year with the annual Prim Priscilla-John Alden ban- quet. Because of their outstanding season, the football team Was the principal guest. This was followed up with a reception for the seniors in January. April brought the carnival, and then May came With the recep- tion for that graduating class. A lot of prep- aration Was made for these events, and the great success with which they met made them more Worthy of the time and elfort put forth. The John Aldens, when not Working on some project for the school, have lessons on eti- quette for all occasions and other helpful lessons that go to make a better citizen. VVe can truly say that the Prim Priscilla and John Alden clubs were one of the main- stays of the school throughout the past year.

As an incentive 'pour meilleur franaisj' La Cercle Francais offers at each graduation a medal to the student having the highest average for the two years. This year a special honor came to them. The biographies of seven members were placed in the Student's Who's VVho of the Americas. A copy of this volume was pur- chased for the library. President-Dick Stowersg Vice-President-Ethel Houston 5 Secretary-Marie Douglas. VVho was Julius Caesar? VVhat did the ancient Romans Wearin All these things and many more are discussed at the meetings of the Forum Romanumf' They delve into the history of the Roman Empire, study the customs and problems of the people of that century, and learn many songs, both old and new, in the Latin language. The Forum Romanumv gives a medal each year to the person who has had the high- est average in Latin for the two years. All hands on deck! Clear the stage for the next act! Put that table over by the lamplv The stage crew was decidedly essential to the school. They were on the job every time they were needed. They painted the walls back stage, installed stage telephones, and improved the stage in many ways. Opal Anderson, the only femlinine mem- ber, was very adept at controlling the public address system. Let's give three cheers for our unsung heroes of the stage crew. Miss Easley, our librarian, agrees with Clarence Day when he says, The world of books is the most wonderful creation of man. It must be a pleasant world, for our librarian always has a smile and seems to instill that bit of pleasantry in her library assistants, who have helped to keep our library in perfect running order.

Or- ganized only this year, it has already gained recognition as being one of the most outstand- ing clubs of its kind in the high school. The purpose of the club is to inspire greater in- terest in the physical sciences through the interchanging of ideas. The club is divided into several groups, each group having a special project, such as the making of silk, colloid gold particles, and atomic models. Bugs! VVO1-ms! Snakes! Bones! It is with these horrible things that the Nzzfuml Science Club of Beaver High School deals. They ritleany old Indian graves that are available to obtain the bones. Now, in their possession they have the entire skeleton of a human being. They made several expeditions to various sites of natural Wonders in this vicin- ity during the school term. The Natural Science Club is one chapter of the National Science Organization. H' Urganized for Beaver's amateur scientists, Mr. Bailey's Science Club has been very ac- tive in pursuing scientific interests. The pur- pose of this club was to delve into current science problems and anaylze them. This the club accomplished by showing pictures of scientific i n t e r e st with the delineascope. Members also read various articles pertain- ing to science and reported on them at the meetings. Each member was encouraged to do research work and a few members un- covered some unusual facts. If you are scientific-minded here's the club for you. Look at the birdie! Now, smile! And, with a click, the picture is snapped. Much of their time is spent in the dark room Where, like the ancient magicians, they dip a piece of paper into developer, then water, then hypo, and-presto change-they have a picturel VVhen they are not working in the dark room, Mr. Bailey talks to them concerning the cost of films, and how to get the best re- sults with their cameras.

Due to the brilliant performances of Kirk, Black, lV1artin, and many stars, we have closed what has been one of the most success- ful football seasons in the history of Beaver High School. On September Sth, Beaver opened her season by playing Richlands. Kirk scored the lone touchdown of the night by catching a lateral pass from Black. The first game was ours! 6-O!! The second victory was won on September 14th, when the Beavers thrashed Big Creek 3-L-7. Then came our first defeat. The Beavers were crushed by the Gary Coaldiggers 33-O. But the next week on September 29th, our players redeemed themselves by mas- sacring VVinston-Salem 35-0. Once more fortune smiled on us, Beaver beat Elkhorn 18-13. In this game, Black made history by racing 74 yards to make the first touchdown. Then came one of our greatest successes. VVelch was beaten on their own lield 6-O! Martin passed to Kirk for the Winning and only score. C Graham! Another hoped for victory. 14-O. And then the final tilt of the season. Princeton! Kirk scored the winning point for Beaver. 7-6-and the game was ours!!

Baigsfgaff Closing the season with a record which was not quite so good as that which we at- tained this year in football we, however, hand our thanks and cheers to the basketball squad. Led on by Gray, Loney, Noechel, Lucas, and Black, the cagesters of Beaver High School started the season by taking the first four games. Breaking even with Graham, we won the First game and lost the second. This was also the case with VVelch. Losing the first game 61-40, we evened the score by thrashing them to the tune of 38-31. But the sweetest taste of victory came when we won two out of three games from Princeton. Princeton edged past our Beavers to Win the first game 39-35 l l However, we trimmed Princeton at the next meeting 31-27, and again by a score of 35-27, coming from behind in the last minutes to win! l l In the last game of the season, we defeated Oak Hill 4-1-31. 'Closing the year with 11 wins and 9 losses. ln the sectional tournament, our Beavers won from Matoaka 87-37, but dropped the game in the semi-finals to Princeton 49-47 in an overtime period. This year an honor came to Beaver for the first time in the history of the school. Gray, Beaver center, placed as center on the All State Basketball Team, after having won a position on the Southern Conference Team. I 81. 4 V . E xif . ,pg F- . :', - ,uf .

And over the high pole goes Beaver's track team. Then We see them running up the track for the 100 yard dash, the 220-yard dash, the 440-yard dash, and the half mile dash. Since the track team became a recognized varsity sport in Beaver High School in 1936, it has fast gained a place of prominence in our school's athletic activities. Under the direction of Coach Dole, this year the track team had developed its mem- bers splendidly in the 120 high hurdles, the 220 low hurdles, the shot put, discus throw, shuttle relay, medley relay, mile relay, as well as in the various dashes. Consisting of about thirty members, those of the track team who show promising possibilities are: Joe Black, Robert Gray, Rudolph Gearheart, Blake Burton, E r n e s t Saunders, Elton McComas, Harold Hagy, Nick Hambrick, Harry Huff, Victor Morit- gomery, Harold Porteriield, Robert Thackett, and Bob Smith.

Then followed a loud splash made by members of Beaver's swimming team as they hit the pool of the Concord College Gym. Approxi- mately two hours later on April 6th, this same team emerged from the pool bringing with them second place in the all state swimming contest. Swimming is comparatively a new sport in Beaver High School, nevertheless it is taking a place of prominence on our athletic program. VVhen swimming season started last spring, there were only three varsity members-Joe Black, Ralph lVlcCue, and Dick Stowers-hut before the passing of a week, eleven more had made the team.

VVith a spirit which spelled vitality and pep, these cheer leaders led the student body through a very cooperative and successful sport season. Cheering their Way to fame, these six vivacious personalities were elected at the beginning of the school year by popular acclamation. These students have spent much time in preparing and organizing new yells, and keeping up the school spirit, Whcih has been particularly evident this season. Beat Princeton! Probably this could be adopted as the motto for the boy's Beaver B of Beaver High School. ln all types of athletic Work-football, basketball, track, or swimming it is their ambition to outshine Princeton. The purpose and aim of the Beaver B is to advance and improve the sports activities of the school and to better the athletic ability of the boys in the high school. The woman's place is in the home, or so most of the boys think, but the Girl's Beaver B has shown that this statement is not altogether true. To become a member of the Girl's Beaver B , a girl must Win the required number of merits, by participating in the girl's games, thus Winning the Beaver B . VVhen she has done this-she is eligible for the honor of belo NX . fvlll Tournaments! This Word seldom brings to the mind's eye girls, but in the G. A. A. of Beaver High School, this is just what goes on. This is one of the clubs in the high school Where athletic minded girls may find an outlet for their unlimited energy.
