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.

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.

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.
