1- PRINCIPAL RALPH KA UER iaie 45315 What's with this Beat of Bal? ' Listen carefully, and you will hear the throbbing beat all around you as you review the school year 1959-60 as it happened in Buccaneerville. You'11 hear - and see - the pounding beat in a senior's brain as he studies down the home stretch in Civics with an Essentials test the next morning . . . The staccato beat of a drummer's paradidle as he rehearses with the dance band for this coming Friday night dance . . . The skipping heart beat of a low sophomore girl who hopes that the darling senior will notice her as she passes his locker for the fifth time that day . . . Or the thumping beat as a veteran teacher leafs through the pile of math homework papers. The Beat of Bal - as featured in the next 160 pages fplus 16 more in the Summer Supplementj will focus on some future Albert Einstein as he mixes some foul-smelling liquid that he hopes might be a replacement for GL-70. Or the Beat might depict the dukes and duchesses of Baltown as they cavort on their home stamping grounds -the red-bricked front stairs and dew-sprinkled lawns. . Whether wearing skirts that reveal their knobbyknees, or pants that appear to have been tailored for a refugee from a concentration camp, the Beat is always the same - revealing Bal 'youth on that tough march to adulthood. Heading up the annual show was Principal Ralph Kauer, the tall, rangy maestro directing the Bal Beat. On the other end of the Beat scale, could be seen the rhythmical swaying of a hula dancer V during an assembly. The Beat of Bal opens with this seven page spread on a preview of the year -- that began for the near three thousand Bucs in September - and ended in June of 1960.

2 I ' ' -I ' +0 JZ on Narrow the Gap This book, different from the traditional yearbook in many ways, also departs from the norm in that it is dedicated not to a deserving person, but to an ideal. The ideal - that man can narrow the gap that exists between his professed beliefs and his actions. A review of daily happenings throughout the U.S. and the World points up the fact that an awesome chasm exists between man's stated beliefs and his actions i.e. . . . with liberty and justice for all . . .H Cheadlinej NEGROES REFUSED LUNCH IN 'WHITE ONLY' CAFE: the Indian is the first American . . . Federal government statistics reveal that over one third of America's 343,000 Indians are living in squalor and a near-medieval stateg . . . America is the only land left on earth where a man can speak his mind and suffer no consequences . . . fheadlinej PROFESSOR FIRED FOR VIEWS ON SEX. In light of these-and other social inequities evident today, the staff of The Galleon cites the responsibility of each man to make ideals into reality.
