Mrs, Beasley . . . She always came running with ice- pack, stretcher, band-aid or even an occasional aspirin. Somehow, it seemed Mrs, B, was always the one who stayed cool and calm. Well, Mrs, Beasley has been tend- ing to injured students for the past thirteen years. The first four years she worked for the entire county, cover- ing all the high schools and elemen- tary schools as well. On weekends she even worked at the Old Dixie Hospi- tal, Mrs, B, said her main reason for keeping this extremely busy job was that she loves young people and hates to see them get hurt. She has always been a friend to every student at York, and has mended many other things besides broken bones. Clinic

The courses were divided into the categories of the extinct Social Stud- ies class. Thirty-eight courses were derived from the world studies area, thirty-three from American studies, six new psychology classes were born, and five sociology courses evolved. Of the four units composing a year’s credit, two, at the most, were required subjects. The other two were left entirely to the student’s choice. Humanities 17
