Beachwood High School - Oculus Yearbook (Beachwood, OH)

Page 46 text:

Oculus Learn as you do might well be the motto of Beachwood High School's first yearbook staff. Under the able leadership of editor Merle Rabine and as- sociate editor Laura Huber, the enthusiastic students who comprised the staff worked diligently on their first endeavor of this type. With no precedents to follow, they faced a doubly difficult task and en- countered many obstacles. Several staff members had their first introduction to the Ways and Whys of yearbook preparation at the Ohio University Joumalism Workshop which they attended last June. The rest of the staff had to learn by trial and error, and Mrs. Johns was an invaluable asset to the staff as advisor. Working at their homes on weekends as well as after school, they spent long hours brain- storming copy and making layouts. Many tasks were done, undone and done over again, but little by little, its office constantly humming with activity both during and after school hours, Oculus acquired form and meaning.

Council on Human Relations 4 1 si FIRST: Cynthia Cohon, Cheryl Weisberg. SECOND: Katie Evans, Joan Heller, Sharon Wasserman, Linda Myers, Carol Vas, Toby Rutman. THIRD: Jeff Brown, Marc Shlachter, Larry Rubin, Austin Matlow, Mr. Simpson Qadvisor Q, Any time anyone needed a poster, sign, or display, all he had to do was ask the Art Club. This group of talented students from all grades dedicated itself to handling all art requests from stu- dents and faculty. The club met every Tuesday after school. When there were no requests for exhibits, dance or banquet decorations, or sce- nery and programs for school productions, members worked on individual projects. In addition to performing all these services, the club, with its advisor, Miss Lovano, took trips to the Cleveland Museum of Art and in the spring attended the Ohio State Art Career Day at Ohio State University. . . . Promoting, through educational means, understanding, cooperation and mutual respect among all people and among the various religious, racial, social, and cultural groups to which they belong. This is the theme of the Council on Human Relations, a group which functions actively at Beachwood High School as it does at many others. The council began at Beach- wood High this past year. Sched- uled meetings were held and Cheryl Weisberg, organizer of the club, was elected president. Each member participated actively in at least one of the special project committees. City-wide meetings were held at which speakers from other countries spoke on human relations in their respective lands. Our chapter was well represented at all of these.

Born to Beachwood High School in the year 1958 was the fledgling newspaper, the Beachcomber. Like all youngsters its development has been slow but steady. Its pages have given students inside stories on sports events, the latest fads and the decisions of the Student Council. It included, as well, the news of club activities and the announce- ment of various coming events. Along with staff members, con- tributors in the past years have been faculty members and students of the journalism class. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Robert Dober, advisor, and Tom Sherman, editor-in-chief, the Beachcomber has seen con- tinuous improvement.
