391 41-rift.. Xl 'nag' A.. X Bath Ni 3 CHESTER A. BEAVER BARRE ' WE ' OUR SUPERINTENDENTS Two superintendents, Supt. Chester Beaver and acting Supt. Barrett Lowe, sitting behind the same desk are as different as the tawny hued mustache on one and the raven hair on the other-yet the same goal dominates each character. As patriots, one armed himself with a gun, the other with a pen. In explanation M r. Beaver was recently Captain of the Yankton division of the National Guard. And Mr, Lowe has written two books on the history of South Dakota. As commanders both helped to stabilize a more democratic school system. Their aims center around giving every Yankton boy and girl the right of self-government and freedom in cultivation of his talents. As citizens, in school or on the street, everyone has become familiar with both superintendents' simple, neighborly friendliness. Whether it's Mr. Beaver or Mr. Lowe sitting behind the desk, that they have pledged their skill and energy to the students can not be denied.

UPHOLDING AMERICAN RIGHTS Uncle Sam with his short beard and patriotic suit of red, white and blue symbolizes the democracy of the United States. In a like manner Prin. Ralph E. Nichol with his characteristic glasses and red hair represents a democracy within Yankton High School. Twelve years ago Mr. Nichol began duties as principal. Since then hundreds of students have crossed the threshold, bringing their problems, dreams, sorrows and joys to a principal, friend and adviser. Like Jefferson he believes in the common man, representative government, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Thus, as the nation honors its leader by firing the twenty-one gun salute, the students of Yankton High School honor the leader of the high school faculty by Hfteen cheers. In addition, the students applaud the superintendents and the teachers, who help youth carry on the American tradition of UPHOLDING AMERI- CAN RIGHTS. RALPH E. NICHOL 4. fi 7 bi if h 'xQJ6 f 5 X
