BEECH HALL £JEAR old Beech! How we miss you! Someone else has stepped in to fill your shoes and push the brooms around the halls, cleaning- up that ever-constant dust tracked in by the feet of many high school students. Somehow school doesn’t seem the same since you left us to be taken away by the angels of Heaven. Even though you yourself are not here, still it seems that your spirit yet lingers in our halls and rooms. We shed a tear now and then as we see the janitor go by, because he reminds us of you. We can’t get accustomed to the fact that there is no one to whom we can shout, “Hi Ya, Beech!” All the seniors and juniors worshipped you; and though the sophomores didn’t know you so well, they, too, loved you. Beech, old man, you were the best janitor this school ever had or ever hopes to have. You were a part of this building, and now the school seems about as vacant as a house without furniture. It doesn’t seem right that you should be taken away, but now that you are gone, there is nothing we can do about it. It was the will of God. He must have needed you more than we do. Though we miss you very much, we realize that it must be for the best that you were taken, dear old man!
