February 26, the class of '59 pro- duced Down to Earth under the direction of Mrs. Walter Meyers. The original stage play was an amus- ing fantasy containing a refreshing plot. The leading parts played by Jack Quinn and Paula Woods were exceptionally good. Two days later 23 band entries lrav- eled to Waverly to the District Music Contest and won the highest ac- cumulation of points received by BHS at District for many years. ll firsts, 10 seconds and 2 thirds were received. Spring at Beardstown High School finds students poised, ready for the count down toward commence- ment. Tension is mounting as they reach the last few stagesg 4-Junior Prom, 3-Class Day, 2-Baccalauiw eate, 1-Commencement! As sen- iors are launched into the bigger world, they will streak toward their final destinations in orbits around their alma mater. The new fallen snow provided a lovely setting for old Beardstown High School. Back after a nice long Christmas vacation -semester ends and report cards are due. The Jumor Class Talent Show provided wholesome entertainment for all ages. Mr. Smith was too tired to march for dimes after being in the hula. hoop contest. I .if

November 22, 12 seniors took the Illinois State Scholarship test in Jacksonville and three received scholarships: Paula Woods, Milton McClure and Jim Harris. The Thanksgiving program was pre- sented by the concert band Novem- ber 27, after which a vacation of 4 days was welcomed by all. At the FHA-FFA dance held Decem- ber 20 in the high school gym, Janet Hardwick was chosen Queen and Bob Genseal was elected King. The Glee Club presented a Christ- mas program December 24 and school was dismissed until January 5, 1959. 1959 was ushered in with blustering cold, wind, and snow. Tobogganing enthusiasts took advantage of the deep hard-crusted snow and ice skaters glided over the thick ice. The higher standards set by Super- intendent H. J. Haberaecker were felt by the students on Friday, Jan- uary l6, which was a sobering ex- perience for all but a few, for it was the end of the first semester. This was the time when all could eval- uate their academic progress and set new and higher goals. In the latter part of January our basketball team took part in the Annual Mt. Sterling Round Robin tournament where we tied for 2nd place. The Glee Club added to the spirit of Christmas with the singing of carols.
