Physics experiment prompts deep concentration. Working Together Promotes Miss Danka leaves the school after a difficult day. As the first class to go through the Beachwood School System from kindergarten to graduation, the 1963 senior class has done a remarkable job of pioneering education in Beachwood. Among the first students to begin organizing the new high school, this year's seniors have enjoyed the honor of participating in many of the same activities they helped to create as underclassmen. The ac- tivities which the third graduating class has seen develop include the yearbook, cheerleading, band and choir, student council, and varsity football and basketball. Among the activities the Class of '63 has helped initiate during their senior year are the Varsity B Service Club, Cross Country Team, and the Bridge and Ski Clubs. The seniors have excelled in every area of school life, gaining recognition for Beachwood in both scholastic and extracurricular fields. Three class members, Jerry Goldfarb, Ed Rudolph, and Jim Stitt, have shown outstanding scholarship abilities by becoming finalists in the National Merit Schol- arship Contest. Norman (Butch) Breen has also be- come an asset to the school by winning a collegiate football scholarship. Under the helpful guidance of Miss Dianne Danka, the class began to organize in their junior year. Of- ficers were elected and committees formed to plan fund-raising projects. Great enthusiasm was present throughout the year, whether the juniors were selling candy, washing cars, running a carnival, or planning a prom.
