Remember? There have been so many outstanding events this year to till our hearts that we cannot devote this book to one lest some Worth remembering should slip away. With this in mind, We dedicate our l942 Beaver to the little as well as the big memories ot the days ot our year.

These simple terms describe most effectively the Winninq per- sonalities of these ten seniors who were recently acclaimed by the faculty as Beaver's Citizens Holdina executive positions in both the Student Council and the Senior Class are Barbara t Reynolds and Isaac Fuqua. Our annual's efficient Business Manager is lack Iohnson While Christine Shumate heads the Circulation Department. We will lonq remember Martha Shef- l fey for her delightful interpretations of music and dramatics.

Outstanding in scholarship and extra-curricular activities, Bruce Moseley and Polly Icme Mahood are cerf tainly well-deserving ot their prominent positions, as is Margaret Ann Murphy, the very ca- pable Editor-in-chief ot the Annual and President of the Girl Reserves. The athletic member ot this group, Charles Ballou, is president of the Senior Class. All ot these ten students are members ot the National l-lonor Society.

Mr. Egbert is a remarkable personality. That he handles students Well is shown by the tact that they term him a regular fellow, and are Willing to follow out his advice. His marked sincerity, his friendliness, his per- sonal interest and faith in us as individuals are just a few of the things that make him beloved and re- spected by all. Thomas R. Egbert oak! of cipofucafion The Mercer County School Board has the responsibility ot planning the education of fu- ture citizens. The board is composed ot prominent residents of Mercer County who give free- ly of their time and energies to make our public school system one of which We may be proud. Cur opportunities should inspire us with a deeper sense of our responsibilities of Worthy citizenship. Left to right-f-Supl. C. H. Archer, D. I.

Foland AFTER TWO WEDDINGS edcfew ave fjmrzy It is a Well-known fact that all our teachers have either A.B., B.S., or M.A. dearees, but two have over-stepped these bounds and have ob- tained their M.R.S. during the past year. Early in the fall the faculty entertained the brides, Mrs. McComas and Mrs. Richardson, at an informal reception at the school. Mr. lackson, our assistant principal, acted as the very aenial master of ceremonies, while Miss Winter presided at the punch bowl. We have first-hand information that our instructors drop- ped their classroom dignity while they munch- ed peanuts and made frequent trips to the re- freshment table. Amid miniature Wedding bells, which effec- tively decorated the scene of the celebration, our masters of the classroom became masters of Wit as they talked, laughed, and ate. Dawn Absher E. G.

Everything from English novels and history dates to the antics ot inch- long grasshoppers has been presented to us in an ettort to round out our cultural back- ground and increase our appreciation ot lite in general. Through the mazes of six hectic registra- tions, ot getting majors and minors unravelled, our teachers have led their students. With constant turmoil surrounding them, their calm understanding of our problems has been a con- tinuous source of amazement on our partil3Ancf sofit now becomes our duty too Sl'.y,CPVv' our gratitude to them by trying to live tafilfhat they have taught us. gf' 5 J' 555 C.

Upon entering the realm of social studies we see that loy Wright finds it as much of a pleasure to give her term report as Mr. Davidson does to hear it. ln addition to daily work being emphasized and char- acter being instilled, a vast knowledge of business prin- ciples goes along to broaden our studies. HMB , ri, 1' T l't itf' 4 M ' .. I Remember the mad trips to the third floor the day be- fore book reports were due . . . and the way we pored over research material for special reports? These are inci- dents we connect with our school library. Amid the tur- moil surrounding the life of a librarian , Miss Easley still finds time to answer questions on all possible topics. The first step toward membership in the A Cappella Choir is Miss Shelton's chorus class, where the fundae mentals of rhythm, breathing, and note-reading are ac- quired by the would-be choristers. These girls are learn- ing to observe the directions expressed in their instructor's hand movements, as well as trying to blend their voices. Class work is varied by the emphasis placed on worth- while compositions which students learn to appreciate. The Music Department in our high school is especially strong. When students register for these elective courses, they are aware that thoroughness is expected of them and they are usually willing to work long hours each day. For those of us who dare to explore the field of higher mathematics, the one semester Trigonometry class offers a welcome opening. Here ambitious boys and girls learn all the secrets of triangles. They resort to logarithms as a simple method of working problems, but soon find slide rules much guicker and simpler. This course is accept- able in any college, and is emphatically advocated for future engineering students. lim Gray and Cecil Ma- gruder with their instructor, Mr. Ray Bailey, seem to be able to hold the interest of all these Senior boys. Where could all the girls be while this interesting subject is be- ing presented? A-V We wonder. l18l Our Bible course has added a note of spirituality to our school environment. Under tho directing hand of Miss Vfallcer, Virginia Payne finds it an easy task to locate the cities of Palcstinc for the benefit of her interested classmates. The type of study offered covers wide range, and is attractively varied from day to day. ln only three years existence at Beaver the course has become one of the school's most popular ones. High prices will not find those Homo Economists un- prepared, for they have learned wisely to make their own clothes. Appreciation of color harmony, correct dress lines, and when to wear what parallels the study of the basic principles of sewing in Miss Bartlett's sewing classes. The attractive suits and dresses are made by the girls and displayed at a Style Show in the Spring. Here we see Virginia lackson, winner of the Prim Priscilla sewing medal, having her suit fitted by Marguerite Belcher. . . S For Lot ri Hffejpjpegn A new course has been instituted this last school year . . . and we know it by the name of Distributive Educae tion. Not only do students of this course learn the funda- mentals of salesmanship, but they also become familiar with correct business grooming and counter -personality. By holding part-time positions in downtown stores, these students practice each afternoon what Mr. Lutz preaches every morning. IQ191 Such terms as dry cell batteries, density, and mass may be bewildering to most of us, but are a part of the regular vocabulary of the boys in Mr. Bailey's physics class. They also learn that Ohm's and Lenz's laws do not apply to reckless driving, but are purely scientific. Iudging from our picture, it appears that few girls dare to brave this rather manly course . . . and we still won- der why. From 8220 Till 3:05 Bonny Barbara Allen and You Are My Sunshine are sung with true mountaineer spirit by Miss Winter's English class, to the accompaniment of Byron Robinette and his guitar. Under such gay conditions, the English lV's study of American ballads takes on a new meaning. We have noticed its effects toofwe can find this same group in the halls or under the windows at noon or after school. lf you've wondered about the strange lyrics coming from the back corner room cf the west side of the build- ing, perhaps this picture will give you a cluo. No, it isn't double talk- it's the French class singing Fiore lacqucsf' At present Miss Abslier seems to be oxplaining the in- volved tenses of irregular verbs. French has boon in- teresting to many Beaver students, because it is a lan- guage filled with color and romance. lt might explode----but we doubt it. These two chem- ists seem to be closely following manual instructions in carrying out their laboratory worlcfthe thing which adds excitement to the chemistry course. Our school is for- tunate in having adequate equipment for students to per- form their own experiments, and the results are eagerly observed and concluded. Almost every day brings a dis- covery of some new practical application of chemistry to Ordinary life. Unassuming but definitely necessary to all phases of school-day activity is this valiant band of mirneographers. Made up of members of the class of Shorthand lV, these industrious commercial students put forth all the work be- hind the mimeographed programs, test forms, and teach- er's bulletins. ln obtaining such valuable business train- ing, they literally wade their way through the stacks of paper and gallons of ink. l2tJl Election Returns First in the eyes of their classmates are our class offi- cers! They are the leaders of Whom we are justly proud. Capable, friendly, studious, and kind are terms which may be applied to anyone of these eleven popular stu- dents. ln any activity or phase of school life, they are not only leaders, but also Whole-hearted participants. ludged the cream of the crop by their Senior class- mates are: Charles Ballon, Presidentg Isaac Fuqua. First Vice-Presidentg Ioy Wright. Second Vice-Presidentg Barbara Reynolds. Secretary-Treasurer. To these four the Seniors entrust all the important decisions of their triumphal year. Frorn September to May they have led the procession of our march through the months to Graduation. E211 Our lunior favorites are: Walter Kearns. President, Ioy Nelson. First Vice-President, Betty lean Williams. Second Vice-President: Lelia Boykin, Secretary-Treasurer. With thern lay the responsibility of guiding our progress in our year's events. Especially important to us this year was the choice of our class ring. At last came that ino- rnentous occasion, the lunior-Senior Banquet. This year, Beaver's newest recruits chose: Elaine Mc- Mullin. President, Elizabeth Farley, Vice-President, and Ioe Sanders. Secretary-Treasurer. As our rnost poised classmates, they helped us get our bearings in the con- fusion of our first days in high school. Later We all learned to regard our superiors tluniors and Seniorsl as friends and not the tyrants We first had feared.

The National Forensicf League The National Forensic League organized in l93U, does much to promote enthusiasm in inter-scholastic speech work. Awarding distinction to those who have shown special ability in this field, it thus encourages students to develop their talent by means of intensive and valuable training. Beaver debaters and speakers competed with schools from surrounding states throughout the year. They made trips to Bristol, Virginia, Asheville, North Carolina, and Salem, Vir- ginia, seldom returning home without honor and glory. The Beaver Forensic chapter was host to a two-day Regional Speech Tournament, held lanuary 30 and 3l. Masque and Gavel Society is the national organization which recognizes superior abil' ity in non-competitive speech in the school and community. Besides being honorary, Masque and Gavel is also a service organization providing speakers for various occasions.

Many persons have hidden possibilities tor tine creative writing. The English A encourages the de- velopment ct this talent. The students' writings are collected thrcughcut the year, and compiled into a publication known as Laurel Leaves. Another ma- ior project is the presentation of a medal at each graduation to the Senior having attained the highest average in English. Shank Burnley helps a worthy cause by eating several apples daily. Betty Udy and Betty Armbrister smile as he willingly boosts English A finances by buying a big red one.

Amid enthusiastic cheers, it steps down the street or across th joy and triumph. Under the direction of Mr. W. W. Clark they have attained many awards and high ratings They carried awayfirst-place honors for high school bands in a contest at the Municipal Sta dium. After participating in the annual State Music Festival at Huntington, West Virginia, this group returned with a well-earned superior rating. To be able to accomplish this, the band members have frequently undergone intense full- band sessions, and have run the risk of losing their neighbors by spending many hours daily practicing at home. The activities of these musicians are numerous. Affecting many listeners with their stirring music, they gave a series of concerts early in the spring. Thinking also of their own enjoyment, these young people dropped their instruments, for- got their band formalities, and relaxed at a Christmas Dance. rd Collins, Buddy Mays, Jimmy Comer, Randolph Bradshaw, Herbert Wagner, William Kahle, ii 04 vi 3 . . . ana!

For it is through the A Cappella Choir that our school has gained national recognition, as well as attaining state and city laurels. Once and oftimes twice a week, the eighty members of the choir give their time to stren- uous rehearsals in preparation for their many varied programs. lt has been very seldom, if ever, that this group of young people has declined an invitation to sing for any organiza- tion, religious or secular. At some time every year it sings at practically every church in the city, inspiring its congregations through the beautiful anthems. Then too, let us not for- get the choir's activities within the school. The entire student body enjoys the many stirring choral programs presented in general assemblies. Climaxing the spirit of Christmas, the choir thrills all who hear by their renditions of many carols as they solemnly march through the halls. Not only is Beaver permitted to revel in these performances, but concerts are given in the fall and in the spring in order that all Bluefield may have the privilege of hearing this musical group. But the Beaver A Cappella Choir does not limit its activities to our town.

Though we are tempted to throw our alarm clocks out the window any morning from Monday 'til Thursday, it isn't nearly so hard to get up on Friday morning with the bright prospects of a dance or picnic pendinge-for scarcely a week-end passes without a party sponsored by one of our clubs. Weekly club meetingsetheir noise, incessant chattering, friendly mischief, and occasional busi- nessehave broken down many barriers and built up lasting friendships. Our membership in these clubs has been a means of developing our person- alities and lengthening our lives. Words most often heard in the days preceding the year's social highlights are . . . lf l don't get to go l'll die! . . . Whom did you say you were taking? Excitement mounts high many times during the year, as tuxedos are aired and evening gowns are pressed for the anticipated events of the social season. First on the calendar is the late Summer Formal--then our festive duds are packed away, 'til they are donned once more for the Christmas and New Year's Balls. Connecting our school and social activi- ties is the Spring Formal-an annual affair following the lunior-Senior Banquet. On the night we receive our diplomas is the Graduation Dance, capping the climax of every senior's life. Then we remember-ffootball frolics at Kirks . . . Friday night theatre parties . . . inter- mission feasts . . . moonlight coasting parties. . . October hayrides . . . old-fashioned box- suppers and square dancing . . . mid-summer camping trips . . . rubber-saving scavenger hunts . . . sleepless slumber parties. Social clubs for high school students were first organized about ten years ago. Since then they have grown and prospered . . . almost every year is marked by the launching of some new club. Each in turn attains social recognition and prominence throughout the school and community. They provide the pleasures that last in our memories.

These ambitious players open- ed their dramatic season with great success when they presented a hilarious comedy of life, Baby Steps Out, early in March. Taking no time to enjoy their laurels, they immediately began rehearsal of a new play, First Class Matter, which they presented at the Regional Drama Festival at Athens two weeks later.

Princeton fails t e t e Tigers at bay all afternoon. o gain through a line that h ld h i881 H747 po-fem en Like a sturdy ship afloat the seas, the l94l Beaver football team plowed its way through victory and defeat. Early in the season the Reds caught a gleam of joys to come, but the clouds closed, and a disheartening storm darkened their horizon. Time after time defeat came upon them, but in the end they came out of the tempest with all guns firing to sink the Blue and White of Princeton beneath the waves. When the report for practice call was sent out, hopes ran high. With such men as Burton, Davidson, Nester, and Farley returning, people said that perhaps the Beds would ride through an undefeated schedule again. But the lack of reserves, heavy linemen, and a sure-fire passing combination proved to be dis- astrous. ln the first game, the favored Beavers nosed out Graham by a 7-6 score. Olen Nester place- kicked the winning point, and started a series of feats that proved him worthy of the honorary captaincy of the l94l team. As to the other games the scores speak for themselves. The last game of the season-November ll, dawned cold and clear, a perfect day for the big game. A steady stream of rooters filed into the Princeton ball park until it was packed. Princeton previously had defeated Welch, so things looked bad for Beaver. Most folks didn't think Beaver had any chance at all against the Tigers, but nevertheless, a lot of loyal towns- people Went over to cheer for the Beds, and were they glad that they did! Rising up with GH thevy had early in the gamer Beaver Crushed Coaches Davidson and Dole with some of the bacon through the Princeton line and blocked a punt that has been brought back by their teams.

However, with these two players, and last year's junior varsity, Coach Dole built a team that won nine of their twenty games. Beavers victory over Tazewell seemed to offer little hope for a victory over Princeton. lf the Reds hadn't come through, it would have been the first time that they had not defeated Princeton at least once in the basketball season since Coach Dole came to Beaver. ln spite of the fact that Princeton was heavily favored, the Beavers let it be known early that they were in the ball game, and took a slight lead which they held until the last quarter. Prince- ton opened up and tied the score at 30-all, with only three minutes left to play. Desperately the Reds laid in a field goal and foul shot, but Princeton forged ahead on two from the floor. The Tiger fans went wild, but all had not been heard from Beaver. Sam Burchette waded into the Princeton offense, came out with the ball, and passed to Palmer who scored. A moment later, Davis dropped in a foul shot and Beaver held a three-point lead. With seconds left, Princeton knocked off two of them, but fighting with all they had the Reds held on to the last one and emerged victorious 37-36.

Even after a boy wins a letter, that is not all, for he must ao throuqh a humiliatinq and iqnominious initiation, the requirements of which are supposed to make him more worthy of the signal honor of membership. At the close of the season for the prevailinq sport, those who are awarded letters have to bind one foot with an old rag, and publicize themselves further by applying larqe red B's on their faces with lipstick. At the end of a week, this is culminated by a special session, in which paddles are wielded with vim and viqor by the old members, in memory of what they qot when they joined the Beaver Row 1-George Matz, Tank Surnpter, Mark Woods, Richard Hobson, Buster Hurst, lack White, lack Counts.
