The teachers, who are a vital part of the system, stand ready to prepare students for higher scholastic achievements or to mold future citizens. lt's wonderful to realize the number of Blueheld residents who previously attended Beaver who are now leaders in the community. XVe, the Senior, junior, and,Sophomore classes, are the last to ramble through the halls of Beaver High School. It seems useless to attempt to enumerate the joyous and sad experiences we, as others before us, have had throughout our days at Beaver, All of us smile as we remember how frightened we were our first days at Beaver at the very sight of the red brick walls and lofty towers. Very soon, however, we found that her doors stood open to all, and once inside, her spirit enclosed us with a warm glow. XVe began to listen for the Hbusyl' Beaver sounds . . . the lively tune floating from the Band Annex placed a lift in our day, the choir singing hymns in preparation for an assembly made us wistful, a harmless explosion resounding from the chemistry lab caused a murmur, then laughter . . . Mr. Bowles' kindly words occasionally booming over the P.,-X. made us . . . think twice. The more we became accustomed to life at Beaver the prouder we were to be a part, whether major or minor. The jangling bells, the ticking clocks, whispered secrets, laughter, chalk screeching across blackboards, paper rustling, the metallic clanging of lockers, and books crashing to the floor are all normal sounds of any school. This year they are especially meaningful to Beaver, for once they cease, they will be heard no more. Not soon will we forget those long trudges up the icy hill on freezing, drab winter mornings. A good snow plow or spikes in our boots would have been warmly welcome. Nor will we forget the bonfire, the football games, homecoming, or the pep rally on the post office steps at which the loyal, cheering supporters were thoroughly drenched but whose enthusiasm wasn't dampened in the least. Room 109 shall be recalled by delinquents who whiled away hours repenting their pranks. The thrilling basketball games in the crowded Beaver gym, as well as track meets and baseball games on sunny spring afternoons added more splendor to our galaxy of events. The ringing cheers, jokes, and songs on the chartered bus trips are firmly planted in our minds, as are the wonderful performances of Melody Magic, which we watched with awe. Laughter rang as we watched hilarious antics of the Beaver B initiates. XVe were some of the more fortunate students, for we were able to participate in the execution of old Beaver traditions. The old Beaver High will fall in the shadow of the new Blueheld High School with all its scientific advancements and astonishing facilities. There will be many new changes and regulations made, and old ones will be discarded. New traditions will arise in time for on-coming' students, but none of these will quite have the feeling that was behind those with which we were familiar. During our lives we will cherish as a portion of our IT1OSt pleasant memoirs and recall with nostalgia The Last Days of Beaver. 9
