Qffieers and Representatives The l956-57 Senior Class Ofhcers and Representatives are, without a doubt, the finest to ever serve a senior class of Beaver High School. They are the best and the last, for theirs is the honor of being the last group of senior ofhcials to serve in old Beaver. Their duties are many. The oihcers direct and run the proceedings by which the senior memorial, and the site for the senior class day, is chosen. The president. Donald 'Wimmer. has done a very capable iob directing the affairs of the senior class. The representatives supervised the smooth-running of class elections. and served on committees that wrote the senior will and prophecy. By these, and many other activities. the ofhcers and representatives have proved themselves most capa- ble, For these reasons, we would like to give them our heartiest thanks and con- gratulations.

SENIOR I TRODUCTIO We, the Senior Class of 1957, after three outstanding years at Beaver High School, are graduating. Not only will we be gone, but Beaver High School itself will be gone. The thought of losing Beaver never occurred to us when we, as school-spirited, loyal sophomores-yet babies, as the upper- classmen thought-entered our high school in 1954. We were each wondering what would happen to us as we crossed the shelf or tried to find a certain classroom. We soon found it to be an exciting place, as we took part in our differing interests and activities. We joined many service clubs and developed our abilities in writing, speaking, choir, band, or athletics, along with enjoying class meet- ings to choose capable officers. The incoming-class party proved to be enjoyable. We finished our first year in the shadows of the graduating seniors, but we took mental notes as we knew our time to graduate would come. September 7, 1956, ushered in another year of our lives in high school. We were no longer wondering what to do . . . just anticipating when and how to do it, so we merely settled down to going and coming from classes. We realized our hard work as sophomores really paid off as we won special places in our literary, athletic, and musical fields. As usual, the seniors were entertained by the juniors with a won- derful junior-Senior Prom. It turned out to be a very happy occa- sion, which was very much enjoyed. As time went swiftly on another school year came to a close, and we looked back on the past years, well-contented. Now, in l957, we have reached the heights of a senior. We have proved that we have a remarkable group of individuals. We have elected class officers early in the first semester in order to plan the many activities of our last year. We worked very hard during the year, a few taking the lead- ing roles and many following. However, we all received our recognition in one way or another. We have finished our high school days leaving outstanding records for future classes to follow or out-do. We have our memories of football gamesg friends, of the marvelous evening spent at our junior-Senior Prom, the fellow- ship of the Senior Receptiong the beauty of our Carnivalg the Senior Class Playg the fun of Senior Class Dayg and especially the sadness of graduation night. . . all of these will never be forgotten. Beaver High School may no longer exist in reality, but it will never die in the hearts and minds of the thousands of students who have worked and played here, and most especially of the last graduating class-that of l957. 26
