Aside from being an excellent in- structor in many fields of education, he set a fine example for his numer- ous students and friends. Mr. Hoke was born in Roanoke, Louisiana, and attended grammar school there. He received his high school training in New Windsor, Mary- land, after his family moved north. Bridgewater College in Virginia was his Alma Mater where he majored in Social Studies and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree. To further his knowledge of the French lan- guage he attended the University of Pittsburgh and later Penn State, where he received his Master's Degree. After teaching several years out of state, Mr. Hoke came to Bridge- ville in 1935. Since that time he taught classes in. French, English, and Social Studies. He became assistant principal in 1942. One of Mr. Hoke's greatest interests, outside his home and family, was in' the student body. He became acquainted with each student indi- vidually and had a deep interest in him. He followed the activities in the school keenly and was always on hand to straighten out any difficulties which might occur. The deeds of service he has performed and the characters he has helped us mould stand as a living monument to his memory.

Naturally all the students were enthusiastic, but the faculty was a bit wary. They knew it was no glamour jobg they knew it would take time and hard work. Nevertheless, we prepared to publish our first yea.rbook. Mr. Hoke, our assistant principal, and Mr. Thompson, Academic English teacher, realizing that most of the work would fall on their shoulders, took over the positions as financial and literary advisors with skepticism. Out of this beginning grew many problems. The organization of a competent staff became the primary objective. A system was devised whereby the Editor-In-Chief' is selected by the members of the Senior Class, as is also the Senior Assistant Editor and the Business Manager. In a similar manner, the Junior Class chooses the Junior Assistant Editor and the Assistant Business Manager. This skeleton staff and the faculty advisors then appoint the others who will be responsible for the various departments. The actual work of the staff really commences with the second semes- ter. The foot-weary advertising staff suffers through rain, snow and fiat refusals in order to bring in ads g the circulation department starts its nagging campaign to remind ever-forgetful students to bring their down payments, and the literary staff racks its brain for some clever ideas. Naturally, all the staff takes it easy until two weeks before the dead- line, when the school is literally turned into a madhouse, or should we say, B-Hive. The yearbook was named the B-Hive to portray the varied, con- stant and feverish activity of our school days. In it we have mirrored some of our various functions in the comb. Page Five THE' B-HIVE 1 Page Six Nineteen hundred forty-eight Every Thursday morning at 9:00 A. M. the bell buzzes three shorts, and a mad flight is made for the audi- torium with the Seniors at the head of the swarm. As- sembly programs consist of movies, round-table discus- sions, short skits, singing, and pep rallies. When the program is over, the drove buzzes back to Work. Under the competent in- struction of Mr, Grossnickle the workers and drones alike experience the sharp sting of the mathematical grind. At the sounding of the bell, those bees who are lucky enough to rate a study period flutter in and begin their unfinished assign- ments. Part of the Home Eco- nomics department whips up a sweet dish or two with a few hints dropped by Mrs. Emily King. Nineteen hundred forty-eight An unsolved problem in Physics class furnishes food for zz Worker's thought. Mr. Clifton's gymnastic classes build and train Well- coordinated bee-bodies. Rig- orous workouts on the mats, parallel bars and the 'horse' fpicturedl prevent even a drone from inactivity. Mr. McGee's instruction in handling various tools and types of Wood provides adequate practice for the future builders of hives and their various facilities.

Speed tests in typing are set to the same tempo as The Flight of the Bum- blebeef' To bee or not to bee a busy bee is not a question to be roused in Mr. Thomp- son's English class, for all industrious honey bees are kept buzzing, gathering from the pages of Shake- speare the sweet essence of MacBeth and Hamlet Research themes are due in February and Emerson's Works are a must,' for those of the comb who in- tend to soar higher in their education. Departing from the bees- TICSSH of the day, every bee. from nymph to worker, sal- lies forth to the buses eager to leave the comb until an- other day. Bee-ville is actively sports-minded as indicated in the illustrated B-hive on the opposite page. Here are a few features of a favorite mid - winter interscholastic sport, basketball. Despite the constant fev- er of interest during the winter months, all bees look anxiously forward to the summer when they can spread their tiny wings and buzz about.

Wiley has been principal of the 'Bridgeville Consolidated School since the Fall of 1941. Prior to his position here, he was an admin- istrator at several Kent and Sussex County schools. In December, 1947, he married the former Miss Mary L. Snyder, of West Chester, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Wiley is at present a sixth-grade teach- er in the Seaford Special School District. Among Mr. Wiley's hobbies are music, travel, books and the theatre. In the past fifteen years he has traveled extensively throughout the United States and has made several trips to Canada, Mexico, the West Indies and Central America. His tour of Yucatan led to a thorough study of the ancient Mayan Civilization, and he has given numerous talks on this topic to various or- ganizations. He acts as accompanist for and assists in the direction of the Senior' High School Choruses. When his few leisure hours permit, Mr. Wiley most enjoys spending them at his cottage on Fenwick Island, Delaware.

' Page Twenty-five THE B-HI VE Nineteen hundred forty-eight HISTORICAL FOOTNOTES The Commencement exercises, May 28, 1948, will mark the end of an era for the Seniors. Some may greet it with gleeful shouts, but, despite the clamor, all will ex- perience a twinge of regret. After the first grade, when friendships became tirmly established, they had the time of their lives fighting. Stephen Tresnak would tease Nancy Ruos about her buck teeth, and there would follow a bout which would make the Louis-Walcott go- 'round look like an exhibition match. And remember that day in the fourth grade when Patty Stauffer fainted, and everyone was scared and made a Wild dash for the door? When the fifth grade rolled around, a blonde lassie, Jean Holloway, buzzed into the hive, and a New Jersey gal, Eileen Miller, threw her hat into the ring. Not only was the sixth year one of transition, but a year, too, of admission. When the school year opened in September, who should say Hello, but another blonde, Lee Ashe. Then in January a bobbed-haired brunette, Jean Bradley, breezed in from Greenwood. Dickie Draper would turn his eye-lids inside out, and would bring down Miss Bett's wrath on Pat Stauffer and Jean Bradley, who would get hysterical every time he did it. Steve Tresnak took delight in calling Nancy Davis, Hedy La- marr. At last came that long-awaited day when they were big people --Seventh Grade and up-stairs. The Seventh Grade Seniors, they were called! David Kaline- vitch joined the crew that year, adding his Pennsylvania talent to the kitty. The eighth grade passed as if jet-propelled, and many of the boys and girls went out for basketball. A plump little miss, by name of Mary Ellen Allen, came up from Seaford to take her stand beside us, and a be-braided red-head, Sally Tracy, joined us from Massachusetts. But truly, High School life doesn't rea.lly begin until the Freshman year. Louise Wright came to us from Federalsburg, and Clifford Mereider, hailing from Ellendale, also dropped in to stay. Although none made the first team, the girls out for basket- ball, Eleanor Gray, Nancy Davis, Nancy Ruos, and Lee Ashe, began to show that they had the stuff. Nearly everyone went out for the Glee Club and Dramatic Club. Mildred Short served as class president. The great event of the Sophomore year was the first dance. It was the Autumn Swing, decorated in typical Autumn style. Blanche Passwaters forsook the class for a hubby, and Jean Willey also bade us farewell. Melvin Fox decided that Hfarmin' held greater charms than larnin' . Stephen Tresnak proved to be a very able Class president. The Junior year, of course, was highlighted by the prom for the Seniors. Here they tossed tradition to the winds by presenting it in April instead of December. It was that year that the Student Council began to function again, and we felt proud when classmates Nancy Davis and Eleanor Gray held the offices of President and Secretary, respectively. The matrimonial bug sharpened its teeth and three of our girls, Mary Ellen Brown, Lorraine Short and Loretta Malfitano, were badly bitten. Stephen Tresnak again was President of the class. And now, what twelve years ago was only a blurred dream, has materialized- the enviable status of Seniors. Nancy Davis was re-elected as Student Council Presi- dent, with Sally Tracy as Secretary and seven other Seniors as active members, two as class representatives, and the others by virtue of their oflices in other organiza- tions. Jean Bradley and Lee Ashe were elected by the class to take the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship test. Jean Bradley was selected as Editor-In-Chief of the B-Hive, and Nancy Davis, Assistant Editor. Eleanor Gray, Nancy Davis, Nancy Ruos, and Lee Ashe will receive awards for their positions on the Girls Basketball squad, as will Pauline Sammons and Jean Hol- loway for their cheer-leading efforts. Stephen Tresnak, Clifford Mereider and David Kalinevitch all played key posi- tions on the varsity football squad, and both Steve and Dave will receive letters for their performances on the varsity basketball team. Our Philadelphia Jivin'-Jill, Helen Milliner, came to us this year and has add- ed her bit to our vvit. Betty Lee Mears, however, left us in September. Eleanor Gray holds the position of Class president. When, on Commencement evening, Nancy Davis presents the Salutatory, and Lee Ashe, the Valedictory, we shall bid our fond farewell to twelve happy years.

Having gained much experience from last. year's sev- en straight losses, a determined team returned this year with a difficult nine-game schedule to bring home two victories and one tie against six defeats. The team was captained by Steve Tresnak and Dave Kalinevitch. Four men. Tresnak, Kalinevitch, Mereider and Rigby, will be lost this year by graduationg however, this leaves a hard-Hghting squad which shows prospects of a winning team next year under the leadership of Coach Clifton.

A successful season of seven wins and seven losses goes on record for this year's basketball team. These speedy cagers, who have always been noted for their sports- manship and hard fighting, were captained by Steve Tresnak. Center Jim Cannon was high scorer for the season with 178 points. Tresnak and Kalinevitch will be lost by graduation, but the spirit shown by the younger members promises that next year's team will be a winner too.

The most advanced work of the music department is being done in the Girls' Chorus, an organization of twenty-seven high school girls selected for membership because of their ability to read music, to carry a part accurately, and to sing melod- iously. Nine members of this organization were members of the Sussex County Chorus. The girls are now striving to master a varied repertoire for the Spring Con- cert, and to represent our school at the State Choral Festival, in Wilmington, in May. Selections which the Girls' Chorus have sung include' My Johann, Pagan Love Song, Carmena, Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light, and The Angelus.

The selections which they will present are The Ranger's Song, Beautiful Dreamer, My Heart At Thy Sweet Voice, and Minka When the chorus meets once a week, they strive to perfect these numbers. This year, Miss Steele is trying to develop better part sing- ing with the group by putting particular stress on reading, blending, and intonation. Five boys from this organization represented Bridgeville in the County Chorus.

Step by step we have been trying to regain ground lost in changing teachers sev- eral years ago. We have now become an organization of twenty-seven members, including two trombones and two tubas which have been absent from our ranks for the past three years. The individual development of the band members has been evidenced by the fact that nine of our group were chosen to play in the Sussex County Band. Our present goals are to present a worthy spring concert and to prepare ourselves to appear in a parade this spring so that Bridgeville may again have a band on parade.

Their efforts in maintaining an efficient hall traffic system. keeping order in the lunch line, and sponsoring a school clean-up campaign are to be highly commended. The Council is comprised of nineteen members who are elected by the students to serve as their representatives.

The Varsity Club was founded during the fall of '46 by those athletes who had earned their varsity letters in baseball and basketball in 1945. The club's chief pur- pose has been to promote better sportsmanship. After each season, new members are initiated by the club and given membership. Awards are presented to all seniors who have won varsity letters during their Junior and Senior years. Cheerleaders receive' gold megaphones whereas the athletes are given a choice of gold footballs, basket- .balls, baseballs or sweaters. The present membership stands at 25.

The Bridgeville Vocational Agriculture Department opened in September with a full-time agriculture instructor to teach and supervise the F. F. A. program. Leland F. Milspaw, former agriculture instructor at Cochranton, Pennsylvania, assumed the duties of the position. The Future Farmers of America have participated in several worthwhile activi- ties during the year. New backstops for the tennis courts were erected and it is hoped that this addition will attract more players. For leadership-training activity, the of- ficers of the chapter presented the Greenhand Degree for the Lewes Chapter in Oc- tober. Delegates also attended the annual Delaware leadership training conference under the direction of Mr. Mowlds. Plans are being drawn to set out Howering shrubs on the school grounds to add color to the school landscape. Each F. F.

Safe! Away by a cool brook's side Where all feverish noise has cooled-and died And only sweet ripples, so soft on ear, Break the soothing silence here. Save once in a while a dropping leaf Does make a sound, though sweet and brief, And far away on yonder hills I see the gold of the daffodils. Whilst near, a beetle droning by Hums an enchanting lullaby. 'Tis here one loafs and plans and schemes, Or, merely sits and idly dreams. 'Tis here one finds all feelings rude Are chased away by solitude. All vulgar thoughts lie 'neath the sod, As one walks arm in arm with God. -Jean Bradley A BALLAD-H IS LOVE A bee fell in love with a daisy, But she was out of his classg His poor mother nearly went crazy At the thought of her son and this lass. Bud the bee became very unhappy When Darling Dolly, his daisy, grew ill, For his mother had poisoned his sweetheart That daisy, she vowed, I will kill. One night when the sun had vanished Darling Dolly no longer could stand, Her lover came, only to End her Lying withered and dead on the sand. -Joanna Newton KKMICE77 Science is inventing many devices For killing rats, bugs, and mices.. Under Common Pests Around the House, The list is always headed by mouse, In labs around the country, though, The white-furred mouse is helped to grow. In a cloak of care his life is wrapped, While his gray-furred brother is stalked and trapped. Why is it one's killed and the other's petted? Just because of the color he getted. T-Alice Jefferson ' THE B-HIVE Nineteen hundred forty-eight CHRISTMAS On Christmas Eve I will be able to gaze into the sky and in my mind be carried back to the first Christmas that took place long ago. Something in the cold, clear stillness of the night and the twinkling of the stars awakens the thought within me that these are the same stars that beheld the first Christmas long ago. Once more the walls of the stable reflect the radiance from the Christ Child's face. The flickering candle-flame projects flickering shadows upon the seasoned beams that support the stable roof. The father watches the scene from the doorway. This was all that the first Christmas consisted of. But the very simplicity and soli- tude that was shown that night has existed until today, and now, as then, causes our heads to bow in reverence. Probably the simplicity and the fact that it was based on such a reverent hap- pening causes our childhood Christmas days to linger in our minds so long. In our imaginations we could hear Santa walk across the floor. We would view with awe the Christmas decorations and look forward to the next Christmas with great anti- cipation. . I sincerely hope that our Christmases will not become any more complicated than they are, because the true Spirit of Christmas will die when we forget the solitude and simplicity of that first Christmas. 1 -Robert Zehr BUZZIN' AROUND WITH THE SENIORS What's Allen ya?
