Senior Class Officers: Stuart Kline, Treasurer; Ed Huber, President; Marti Shiffer, Secretary; Danny Friedman, Vice-President. Class Unity As the senior year opened, the Class of '63 began to look anxiously forward to their graduation. Spirit mounted, as did frenzied efforts to keep studies amid myriads of tempting extracurricular activities. Early in the autumn the students became suddenly aware of the prospect of college. Seniors began registering for SAT and ACT examinations, writing for college applications, and discussing plans with their parents and guidance counselors. As second semester rolled around, most of the class breathed a sigh of relief after completing their necessary college preparations. Of course, college acceptances (or rejections) were still anticipated, but nonetheless the class was much more relaxed and ready to enjoy their final year at Beachwood High. The year's events were successfully planned and executed by the officers. The emphasis was not on money-making since most of the necessary funds had been raised the previous year. Nevertheless the seniors took over the concessions at football and basketball games. The class officers concentrated their efforts on the senior prom. The seniors ex- pressed early excitement when making the decision to have the prom at the Shaker House Motel. Fol- lowing the dinner and dance, the entire class moved on to the Eastgate Coliseum for indoor recreational activities, and the prom ended with their annual class picnic. And so in June when the seniors marched down the aisle, ambitions were high, memories were numerous, and plans were already being formed for future years. Make that two, waiter!

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.
