Throughout the state, as a result of recent legislation, school districts have been combining into what is referred to as Jointures, or Joint School Districts. This merely means that boards in local districts have decided to join together for cooperative efforts to improve the financial, educational and administrative functions of the entire area. From this iointure will grow, in many in- stances, the Union District. The Beaver Area, comprised of Beaver and West Bridgewater Boros, Boro and Brigh- ton Townships have now formed a Jointure. Whether this will be transformed into a Union District will be determined by a vote of the people in the future. Secretary to the Joint Board Mr. Donald Porter Beaver Boro: Mr. T. Vates, Mr. C.

gnanw.. MR. WILLIAM W. PATERICK Shingas Adviser WIA.. Fatafzick ffm. 5 pm If there is one man who deserves credit for his tireless work on behalf of the senior class, it is the sponsor. He seems to spend all of his spare time advising and enthusi- astically guiding the class through its many projects and activities. Mr. Charlesworth, with his warm friendship and winning per- sonality, has sparked our class to a success- ful wreath campaign, an all-out ticket sale for George Washington Slept Here, a lus- cious banquet, and a beautiful senior dance. He has been much more than just a sponsor, he has been a friend and asso- ciate, winning the respect and cooperation of the entire class in every project and ac- tivity. We, the class of '53, appreciate the friendly advice and wise counsel of our class sponsor, Mr, William L. Charlesworth. Over the past thirteen years the name, W. W. Paterick, has become synonymous with the production of outstanding year- books in Beaver High School. It is hard to imagine editing a Shingas without his able assistance. From the first baseball picture taken in the spring until the final deadline of March fifteenth, he attends to the hundreds of details that go into the successful publishing of an annual. Because of his help and encouragement the sales staff hit a new record of nine hun- dred books sold this year. For handling so capably our most important project while in high school, the class of '53 says, Thank you, Mr. Paterick, you have truly given us a lasting account of our days in B. H. S. MR. WILLIAM L. CHARLESWORTH Senior Class Sponsor
