And so this Beacon is Woven around these three seasons leaving Sum- mer, the most beautiful of all, for your own personal memories.

BUCK Supervising Principal Benjamin Franklin, philosopher, scientist, and states- man, said it in these Words: Friends and Neighbors, the Taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the Government were the only ones We had to pay, we might more easily discharge themg but We have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as as much by our Idleness, three times as much by our Pride, and four times as much by our Folly, and from these Taxes the Commissioners cannot ease or deliver usf, When in Rome-Be Yourself Class of 1947, you realize, I am sure, that a high school education is merely a stepping stone, a little boost to worth- while living. Your ability to isolate the right from the wrong, and your judgment in dealing with your neighbors and associates, will be a great factor in determining where you will go from here. Be a good neighbor-make friends and keep them. This is good advice, but the method used can be faulty and overdone. Friends made at the cost of lost ideals or a code of ethics shattered may be a poor bargain. Donit lean backwards to he one of the Gang.v Even the Gang, will respect you more if you have ideals and a code of ethics Which you adhere to even when everyone else follows a different course. Ninety-nine people out of one hundred voting yes on a certain question does not make the affirmative right. The ninety-nine votes mean that ninety-nine people Want the law passed, perhaps for a selfish reason. 'The one dissenting voter may be right. Donit be afraid to be different-if you have carefully considered both sides of a question. If, when you are in Rome, you are convinced that the Romans are right, Do as the Romans dof, If you think the Romans are wrong, be yourself. Live up to your convictions. Beacon - 6 D. M. BOYCE High School Principal Bethel jnw ' .Schull A5'nan.d, An important influence in Bethel Schools is the school board. The Board consists of seven members who are vitally interested in the activities and achieve- ments of the some thirteen hundred students who are enrolled in the Bethel Township Schools. As the aim of a democracy is to procure the most good for the greatest number of people, so the aim of the Board of Education is to procure the most good for the greatest number of students. In carrying on all its business, the Board tries to attain this goal. All members being parents, they are in a better position to understand and realize the problems which students encounter and the things which they need in order to lead a successful school life. The Board of Education cooperates With the administration, faculty, and students to make the Bethel Township School System as effective as possible. The present members of the board are H. B. Maits, Presidentg A. R. Reid, Vice-Presidentg W. H. Parmelee, Treasurerg G. A. Taylorg H. I. Wissingerg A. J. Freyvogelg and K. C. Carson, with Frank H. Jack as Secretary.

The boys were helped along the way by Mr. Victor Pearson, coach and Mr. Edward Strall, assistant coach. After being defeated by Baldwin 12-6 in the opening game, the team rallied for its string of Class B victories. First of these came when Bethel defeated East Washington 20-0. In the first home game, Bethel romped over Bridge- ville 25-6, and after coming out from behind in the second half, rolled up a 19-6 score over a determined Snowden team.

After easily defeating North Fayette 26-0, the Bethel eleven fought a stubborn MacDonald team to take a 20-14 victory. In the final game of our schedule the team came through to trip Cecil 32-19 in a thrilling game on Bethelis home Held. The squad then had enough points for the Class B championship game at the Etna field against East Deer. After coming out from behind and then going out front, Bethel had the crucial touchdown called back, and East Deer marched to a fourth quarter touchdown to come out on top, 14-7. This concluded a season characterized by lots of hard playing and real spirit. 4 Baldwin .,.. ..,,..,.... ....,, 1 2 I' East NVashington .. 0 ' Bridgeville ...,.... 6 Snowden ,...... 6 Chartiers ...., . ... 6 f North Fayette 0 MacDonald ...., ...,.. 1 4 1 Cecil .,.....,, ..... .,..,. 1 9 f East Deer .... ..

It was the first championship team since 1933 when Bethel took the sec- tion by forfeit. The following lettermen contributed much to the spirit and playing skill of the team. Larry Bognar-4 year man-played first string guard until a leg injury disabled him. Although his service was limited, he did an excellent job while in the game. James Cain-3 year man-Bud wasnit able to play dur- ing his junior year because of illness, but in his senior year he made a comeback to the first string, holding down the position of tackle. jack Clingan-3 year man-jack was another first-string man on this year s championship team.

Robert Long-1 year man-Bob found a size 13 football shoe plenty large, but he certainly could make those feet move. Bob was a great inspiration to the team. Thomas Replogle-3 year man-Tom held the left ter- minal post. He was good both in receiving passes and in defensive play. Don Sehalch-3 year man-Don played on the first string as guard this year. His strong defensive play was felt by many an opponent. Iohn Sourbeer-4 year man-Jack was Co-Captain of the 1946 squads. He was a fine ground gained for the team during his football years. Peter St. Clair-4 year man-Pete was the Captain of the team his Senior year and was Co-Captain his junior year. He was the hard driving fullback of this yearis squad and a great asset to the team. lack Stemnock-43 year man-Jack was the half spinner for the team. His ability to back up the line was a great help to the squad and he also displayed ability in tack- ling. Morris VValsh-3 year man-Moe was one of the best pass receivers in recent years. As a defensive player he was tops. Allan Wissinger-1 year man-Allan came out for foot- ball his senior year. NVhat he lacked in experience he made up for in determination. VVhile these senior lettermen did a fine job, much of the success of the team resulted from the excellent playing of junior members of the squad. The underclass- men earning letters, were: Daniel Taylor, tackle, Paul Plocki, quarterback, Edward Bucks, guard, YVilliam Mur- doch, center, Larry Bognar, halfback, Charles Picard, end, Dale Custer, tackle, Donald Anderson, quarterback, and Charles Sekon, fullback.

The climax of the 1947 football season came when Bethel played the Class BD championship game against East Deer. The two teams met on the Etna field Saturday, November 23. Plenty of hard, fast playing ensued. Bethel won the toss and elected to receive. In the first six minutes of play there was little action from either side. Then midway in the first quarter on the muddy ground, St. Clairis punt rolled dead on the East Deer 19. The Buck team led hy Crossi put Bethel back on its own 22 with four consecutive first downs. After three downs Grossi ran off right tackle for 18 yards and the game's first touchdown. The extra point was added by Stoneburner. Paul Plocki then carried back East Deeris kickoff from our 10 to out of hounds at the 49 yard stripe. Sourbeer, on the next play, ran 28 yards to their 17 for a first down as the Hrst quar- ter ended. After St. Clair pounded the center of the line for another first down in the first play of the second quarter, Sourbeer and Roger Bognar brought the ball down to the two yard line. Then Sourbeer plowed through the center of the line for the tally. Charging hard through the center again, St. Clair tacked on the extra point to make the score 7-7. In the third quarter the ball moved back and forth across the mid-field stripe with neither team threatening until Sourheer made a sensational finger-tip, juggling catch of a long pass thrown by St. Clair and a moment later Plocki passed to Sourbeer for another first down on the East Deer 19. After St. Clair rolled up another first down on the nine, Plocki again passed to Sourheer who stepped over the goal for a touchdown, but it was nullified and a fifteen yard penalty for push- ing was inflicted This greatly lowered the spirit of the Bethel eleven, and failing to make another Iirst down, they lost the ball on downs, East Deer took the hall on their 19 and, after the fourth quarter opened, made five straight downs with Crossi again scoring from the one-yard line with Stoneburner making the placement. In the closing minutes of the game our team tried an air offensive but failed to make the yard- age and the game ended with the opponents in possession of the ball.

Under the leadership of this all-boy cabinet, plans were formulated for sev- eral social events. First of these was a skating party at Sportshaven. This event was followed by a dance in March. F Along academic lines, the sophomores were kept busy. For Weeks they went around chanting Porifera, Anthropod, Chordata, and other biological terms. Latin word endings and the intricacies of Iulius Caesar presented another hurdle on the road to graduation. In athletics, the sophomores participated actively. Football season found twelve sophomores out on the field backing up the team. When interest shifted to the basketball court, the sophomores produced a junior varsity that rolled up a fine record. Sophomore cheerleaders Julie lean Glasser and Ruth Heck helped cheer both teams on to success. VVhile Working hard at all their sophomore activities, the class began look- ing ahead to their junior year and began a bit of Prom planning. The class of 747 salutes the class of ,49 and Wishes them all success next year. Beacon - 24 . JL . 10x Left to right: Row I-Pickering, D Hoikins Bolywrd, . 1 ., .

Although they were confronted with many unfamiliar subjects, the juniors were able to take part in many activities. They also managed to sponsor numerous social events, which were gratefully attended by the rest of the high school. The first dance sponsored by them was the junior Ring Hop. The unique decorations een- tered around a huge red and white ring.

Jia saws gm Play, A Well-trained cast of seniors made the play Footloose one of the most important Winter events at Bethel. The play, presented Decem- ber 12 and 13. was directed by Miss lane Golden. The play relates the story of children re- belling against their motheris Zeal to shield them from the ills of the World. This mother love has deprived them of many opportunities to think and act for themselves. At last Richard Early and his Wife, Emily, Weary with the grind of family management, are persuaded to take a vacation cruise. Leaving the maid in charge, the parents start on their trip. Then things really begin to happen. Beat-on The sudden illness of the maid leaves Hope, the oldest daughter, with full responsibility. Hos- pital expenses constitute only one of Hopeis Wor- ries. An automobile accident and the marriage of the oldest son further complicate the situa- tion. Another problem arises when Mary, the high school senior, becomes enamored with a college sophomore. The struggles of the entire family to live Within their depleted budget make for highly interesting developments. By the time Richard and Emily return, the family has managed to solve its problems, all the bills are paid, the children have learned to bear responsibility, the romances have turned out right. Since even the maid, Delphie, has met' Gthe nicest janitorf, a happy ending results. 28 F G O T L O O S E 'HIL jim, Lclmlalb, Q Stagg A new organization at Bethel High School this fall was the Drama Club under the leadership of Miss Colden. After spending some time preparing and delivering pantomimes and mono- logues, the group advanced to a new duty of selecting and producing one-act plays for assemblies under student direction. To give training in dramatic expression, each girl was asked to take the part of Katherine and each boy the part of Petruchio in the quarrel scene of 'Taming of the Shrewv by XVilliam Shakespeare. The study of the technical side of acting Was also included through the con- sideration of the arrangement of stage settings and the application of make-up.

After receiving training in library science, the assistants are prepared to carry on the vari- ous activities of the library. Their Work includes shelving hooks returned, caring for and record- ing periodicals, repairing books, filing cards, etc. Cood grades in school subjects and conduct plus a minimum of at least one study period more than required by the pupil to keep up in class- Work, are necessary qualifications for this activity. 5110 QA, For the highest number of satisfactory hours served during the first semester on duty, the pupil wins an award of the library pin, and for the second semester, a chain guard bearing the year date served. Participation in library Work as an assistant is designed to acquaint the students with some af the facts of library work and to increase their understanding and appreciation of the function- ing of the school library. Reasonable accuracy is required to keep the books and cards file in order. Because of the help of these assistants, our library is kept in good order.

Despite the handicaps of a green team and a shortened pre-season practice period. the Bethel basketball squad was still able to tally eleven wins in the twenty games played. After beating Morganza in its opening game, Bethel lost its first sectional game against Clark. Since Clark is in the section under protest, however, this game didnit really count. A series of wins followed this initial defeat until Bethelis traditional rival, Snowden, rolled u J a victory. I . The team had another winning streak until they played Cecil for the second time. At the time of the Cecil game Bethel was leading the section, but the loss of this game caused Bethel to share first place with both Snowden and Bridgeville. All hope of going to the play-offs disappeared when Bridgeville defeated Bethel in the next game. A second loss to Snowden finished the season. This year's Coach Pearson had only two Seniors on the team, with one at the end of the season. Forwards were St. Clair, Anderson, Plocki, Tucker, and Schnabel. At the center were Taylor and Steen. Holstein, Picard, Sourbeer, Cochran, and Pt. Bognar played guard.

Although Bethel never had wrestled before and no team was actually organized this year. these boys are trying to arouse interest in this fine sport. The boys who participated this year have found that Wrestling is a sport requiring brains in addition to brawn. As a result of their prac- tices, they Were put into fine physical condition. Since it is so beneficial as a physical and mental activity, it is hoped that someday wrestling may become a recognized sport at Bethel. XVrestlers: Paulick, Pnnehur.

This club. supervised by Xlr. Strall, is for the boys of the Junior High who are interested in learning the fine points of the various sports. Since so many of the boys in these grades were interested, there was quite a large group. making it necessary to limit the activities of the group. Rather than actively participate in sports. the bovs were taught the Mins and outsn of sports by means of movies and discussions. Plans are being made for the continuation of the club throughout the summer. By means of this club it will be possible to train the future varsity members for their later activities in all the sports. Lett to right, Row 17W Evans. Pndlak, NYhite men, Coodlvoy, Bloom.

Each year in the month ot April a group of energetic Bethelites may be seen trodding the South Park Greens, swinging clubs at a small spherical object. The game of golf requires much skill, concentration, and vigor. If you have ever walked the course, you will agree that not enough credit or publicity is given to these boys for turning out for practice and devoting their time and energy to bring new honors to Bethel. Last year the team played eight matches-win- ning 4 and losing 4. This year the boys have high hopes of bettering their work with the possibility of taking our section.

Bethel students will remember the performances of the A Capella at the Weekly assemblies, and Who could forget that famous Quartette,,? Even though it meant coming to school early and staying after 3:30, the girls agreed that it was well worth the time. 510111, The old songs, the old songs, Those good old songs for me, I love to hear those minor chords, And good close harmony.

Feature articles, class news, editorials, and scoops by Kilroy were a few of the ingredients that combined to make this yearis HI-LITE a big success. The HI-LITE grew progressively better because of the new class in jour- nalism which provided extra training in the forms of newspaper writing. The class was open to sophomores, juniors and seniors who were interested both in journalism and the bettering of the school paper. Through their efforts they were able to present to the students and faculty an improved Bethel HI-LITE. The editor of the paper for this school year was Ariel Hollinshead, with lean Rippl as the assistant editor. Miss Golden was the advisor. Beacon - 38 NHL ' Il WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? From age 15 to age 60 may not seem long to a man looking back, if his life's work has been pleasantl and profitable. To a high schooli student, a sentence of 45 years ati hard uninteresting labor looks pretty dismal, however, that isj exactly the kind of sentence many people give themselves. Guidance here at Bethel is an extra PRIVILEGE designed to aid pupils to avoid a dull, monoton- ous existence and to aid them to use the talents given them for the best interests of humanity generally. Bethel Seniors Tour 1 Homestead Steel Mills On Thursday, September 19, the Seniors of Bethel were given the privilege of touring the Homestead Steel Mill. They left school at 9:30- A.

The poor seniors were broken- hearted because they were absenti so long but with an optimistic grini they faced their eighth period teacher, after spending seventh period eating fgrain by grainl. The seniors were determined to work this last period but it seemsi that they had more hot air than iron ore fresh from the ground, or maybe they were standing too close to the blast furnace when the air was removed, for you see for every ton of iron produced six tons of waste gas escape, but whatever the reason, no matter what peephole you sought as refuge, a senior with! a story was certain to find you.

Beacon - 39 V BETHEL WINS 33-15 IN SECTION OPENER Bethel opened its Section 12 cam- paign January 7 by defeating South Fayette, 33-15, at Bethel. Held to a 6-6 deadlock in the first quarter, Bethel registered 11 points in the second period to pull away from their opponents. South Fayette could not pene- trate Bethelis defense in the second half and scored only 7 points. Bethel's entire squad saw action in this half. Plocki was high scorer for Bethel tallying 8 points. ASSEMBLY SESSIONS - NOW HELD WEEKLY The decision to hold regular weekly assembly sessions this school year, instead of scheduling them at irregular intervals as in the past, has proved popular. The Hi-Y and the Y-Teens have furnished their various talents to help make the assembly programs more interesting and varied. An attractive program was also pre- sented by the Beacon Staff to ac- quaint the students with the quality of the 1947 yearbook.

CXVill Hochie', ever learn how to cook rice'r'j Most of us were quite active in manv of the activities. Time marched on and we found ourselves ordering an- nouncements and name cards, exchanging pictures, and choosing a May Queen and her attendants. Then came the night of graduation, and we found ourselves wishing we could do it all over again. The Senior Ways and Means Committee The last minute meetings in the con- ference room to plan for the senior dance, the cost, decorations, music, entertain- ment-this was only one function of the senior ways and means committee. Selected by the senior class officers, the committee's main duty was to guide the class financially so that it would be sure of funds to pay for graduation and other expenses. Another of their functions was the selection of the senior class play. This committee was truly the backbone of our senior class. lllli l'ranke luck StL'lllllKJClx, Hose lixanmich, Albert lfreyvog 0110011 A 1, H' t fb N- . ,1 FF-7, . ,fs Mwrl- i if it I K vii' -' GU Ll iff All v XV Q5 Q? l l . , 7 by E X lik-L!

Beacon - 52 nafamr afwwft soda, To honor the students who were outstanding in scholastic work and in extra- curricular activities, the school board decided, in 1941, that in addition to giving a cup to the two outstanding seniors, pins would be presented to other honor students. The emblem of the society is a gold pin, shaped like a keystone. On it appears a Hame, symbolic of the light of knowledge. During the school year eight or ten boys and girls are chosen, four or five at the end of the Hrst semester, and the remainder just before commencement. The group usually consists of slightly more than ten per cent of the class. The first group chosen are considered active members and they may meet to discuss various suggestions for the school to promote good grades, plan assem- blies, and promote scholarships. This yearis active members are: Lois Franke, Kenneth Jones, Jack Sourbeer, and VVilliarn Lepkowski. To be chosen as a candidate for the Honor Society it is necessary to have an average of 85 or above. Then the standing in extra-curricular activities is taken into account. The studentis uiiselfish service to the school is another factor considered in determining his selection. On the basis of those attributes, faculty members choose the students to beghonored by membership. Up to this year seventeen boys and thirty-four girls have been elected. Membership in this society constitutes the highest honor which can be he- stowed upon a student. 01111 On a sunny May afternoon a beautiful girl surrounded by her court walks majestically down the athletic field to be crowned Queen of Mayf, Before ascending her throne, the Maid of Honor places a garland of roses on the Queenis head. Then each grade in turn pays tribute, by performing for the Queen and her court with skits, stunts, feats of calisthenics, a May Pole Dance,-all of which adds to the festive occasion. The May Day, or Health Day, as it was first called, originated in 1929. The Queen and the girls of her court are chosen by the Senior High School by a preferential ballot, the boys are chosen according to the preceding years that they have participated in the May Day. As a part of the health program and climax to the year's work, the May Day plays an important part in Bethel.
