J 1 f r E52 JACK ORRICK President JAMES IVERS Vice-President DORIS RAMSEY Secretu ry TOM JOHNSON Treasurer 25 ELIZABETH GERTRU DE ADKISSON Clear-eyed, alert, and blond, always looking as though it's great to be alive. That's our impression of Betty. This little miss has been active in many school organizations and served on the Faculty Advisory Board for three years. Betty is also musically inclined. We are still wondering how you manage to make those straight A report cards, Bettyl BEN H. ALLEN, JR. Ben's ambition is to learn how to fly an airplane. He also is interested in tennis and has proved himself one of our very best players. However, with the unusual wit and intelligence he has manifested in class, Ben seems to be destined for a big business position. BILLY JAMES ANGELL Here's a fellow with a tendency toward an athletic future. Billy wants to play baseball, and someday when we hear that he is the star pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, we shall be proud to say that he was a member of our graduating class. JACQUELIN ANSELIN Jackie plans to go to Lamar and then to do missionary work. She should make a good foreign missionary, and if beauty helps a girl in this type of work, Jackie has doubly good chances of success. Her hobby is collecting miniature orchestras. MARILYN ARNOLD A real addition to any gang is Marilyn, whose bubbling enthusiasm and gay personality hit us just right. She is always a pleasure to see-neat and well-dressed. If you're in a tough spot and just have to have someone you can depend on, call on Marilyn. She has yet to fail us. MARY KATHERIN E ATTRA When everyone is talking about that successful music teacher, we will be proud to say slfe was in our graduating class. We know that if Katherine goes to Our Laty of the Lake, she will turn out to be a concert pianist at the Metropolitan Opera House. HARRY BAKER Harry is one of those bashful seniors with brown eyes and brown hair that won't tell us anything about himself. We know one thing, though, when Harry starts out to do something, it is done right. With his capability, we know his future will take care of itself. LEROY BARBIN This fellow with the gorgeous smile came to Beaumont High school from Saint Anthony, and we are surely pleased to have him in the class of '41, Leroy is an ardent football player in his spare time, and his extraordinary strength and strong muscles prove to you that the sport can really make a perfect physical condition. JOHN BARNES John is another member of the Sea Scouts and a mighty good one. He is going to attend Lamar and plans to study marine engineering. His hobby is building model boats, and we know that this hobby will help him when he starts worlk for Uncle Sam at one of the naval shipbuilding centers. MARY RUTH BEATTY This is another one of our pretty senior girls with blue eyes and black hair. Mary Ruth plans to attend T. S. C. W. and major in art designing so that she can become an interior decorator. For the past three years she has been in the Royal Guards. This year she served as drum major of the drum and bugle corps. ANITA JOY BECK If you happen to see a brown-eyed lass walking down the hall arm in arm with a history book, it's likely to be Anita Joy. Some day that history sense will stand her in good stead, since she does quite well in that subject. She intends to use this knowledge in Uncle Sam's service, too. VERLINE BENNIGHT ln the rank and file of office workers, we shall in a few years probably see our former classmate, Verline, and no doubt she will be a private secre- tary par excellence. Here at Beaumont High she has been a loyal student, lending her support to the Royal Guard. SARA ELIZABETH BERG Sara's character is typical of a girl who plans to spend her energy doing church work. She is sweet and unaffected, and everyone notices her soft brown eyes. Sara plans to be a saleswoman while waiting for her plans to work out, and we know her customers will always receive kind and courteous service. SUE BISER If you had just peeked in Miss David's room, fourth period, you would have found Sue working at typing or some other useful duties she loves so well. We hope she sticks with her flare for art, and some clay we shall hear great things about blue-eyed Sue. '26 BRUCE H. BISHOP Baylor will be mighty lucky to have our glamour-boy engineer, whose main ambition is to meet Ann Sheridan. We hope Ann doesn't fall too hard. Bruce's hobby is girls, but right now he's too busy managing the B. H. S. football team. W MARION BLANTON 3 ., ,, . . -4:4 V. . l Bebe has everything to qualify her for the commercial artist she WI es to become after receiving her diploma. But we rather think that her ready smile and pleasing personality will make her a Mrs. before she even gets started on her career. Cheerful, efficient, and thoroughly likable, she is one grand student. GILBERT LOUIS BOARDMAN A veritable light in the portals of Beaumont High is the cheerful figure of Gilbert. Amiable, agreeable, characterized by a friendly and disarming smile, he is one of these fellows whose company is valuable to us. Gilbert is hoping that within a few years he will be one of our best diesel engineers. GRACE ELOUISE BOMAR Grace is one girl that has so-o-o many hobbies that it's hard to keep up with her. When not devoting her time to English and history, her favorite subjects, she is collecting pictures and rock specimens, playing outside, danc- ing, or cooking fancy dishes. Believe it or not, she does all those well! After attending Lamar and Rice, she plans to travel, write, and raise dogs. RUBY nokouf Ruby is a typical high school girl, a good mixer and a good worker. We know that she will have a successful career in whatever field she chooses to follow after graduation. Girls of her type just fit in anywhere. Here's to you, Ruby! We are richer for having known you. NORMA BOUDREAUX Here is another one of those cute seniors who intend to be stenographers. Norma has pretty green eyes and beautiful brown hgir. Her hobby is tennis, and her favorite subject is shorthand, which explbins her leaning toward stenography as her future vocation. V4 AL LAWTON BRADLEY Here he is, girls-blue eyes and blond hair! AI plans to attend A. fr M. IWon't he look nice in a uniform?I and major in petroleum engineering. His favorite subject is trigonometry, and the height of his ambition is to be a millionaire so that he can give a certain feminine personality more attention. BETTY JUNE BRAND Helpful, cooperative, and efficient, is Betty-Mr. Ferguson's little helper. Her hobby and favorite subject is sewing, but, take it from us! she is just as good at bookkeeping, typing, office work, or what-have-you. It's our guess that Betty's desire for a home and a great big family is bound to take her from the hard business world. JAMES LEWIS BRAUD Essy Ishort for Esquirel is one of those people who play a prank on you and make you love it. Always good-natured and fun-loving, he's the life af the party. But James has his serious moments, and we know that we are quite safe in predicting a sane and successful future for this prominent per- sonality. BONNIE VONCILE BRECHIN Presenting Miss Bonnie Brechin: cute and classy head twirler of B. H. S. Band, collector extraordinary, future teacher of Home Economics, M. A., PhD., and Mrs. This versatile, brown-eyed young lady is sure to go far in any field, but Home Ec. is the subject that appeals to her ambition. Lucky stu- dents that study under this teacher! MARY ELIZABETH BRIGGS Snappy, high-stepping, ambitious, and intelligent are only a few of the adjectives that describe Mary. She has gained wide popularity as the B. H. S. drum major this year. Having proved herself one of our best, we are sure her ambition to be a famous drum major will be realized. CAMILLE BROCATO Camille is one of those boys who don't speak everything they believe. He is very interested in sports and has participated in many of them around here. His ambition is to become a baseball player, and why not? We are counting on you, Camille, to pitch in the World Series of l94S. MARIE BROOKS Our first girl Pine Burr editor, that's Marie, and she really has the quali- ties that go with that office. A veritable speed demon with a typewriter, Merse is headed for success in the business world. Sounds studiaus, doesn't it? But she is the most remarkable combination of personality and brains that we have ever seen. BETTY MAY BROUSSARD Betty May plans to join the ranks of the women in white. Yes, she plans to be a nurse and thus devote her life to relieving the pains of others. Betty is full of school spirit and proved this by serving as a member of the Royal Guard. Good luck, Betty, in everything you may undertake! 27, Q5 pl ,xl or l -A ve A v JO RUTH BROWN, Jo Ruth's flowing black hair and blue eyes will catch the eyes of many business men when she applies for a job as secretary. Jo Ruth has that ap- pealing sort of beauty which everyone envies. Although she would make a godd little secretary, our guess is she would be just as successful along matri- mlfiial lines. PEGGY ANN E BROWNRIGG X . eggy will grace the campus of our own state university at Austin after 'vilig Beaumont High. Blond hair and blue eyes, she has been one of the m re popular seniors on the campus. Her gracious manner, good looks, and onality should carry her far in the world. lf that isn't enough, nobody A knit a snappy sweater better than Peg. CURRIN BRYAN That good-looking, black-haired boy that you have seen running about fx, halls was probably Currin. Currin is very interested in aeronautics and pahs to major in this subject at college. He is going to Lamar and then to ' xa's University. Currin is always full of life, ready to meet any situation, a we are sure that success will run to meet him. HH . .

Fxx S X CHARLES E. suLLocK j Charles, one of the most likable fellows in our midst, plans to be a first 4 X rate orchitect, and we are sure that with his brains and personality he will Q reach his goal. His hobby is reading and his favorite subject is history. We VY wish him the best of luck in his work, for he fully deserves it. B JAMES FRANKLIN BURGE 'il W' ' Some day when you walk into the office of a famous doctor, don't be 1 rprised to find that Jimmy is this doctor, for Jimmy intends to follow this occupation. He is going to attend college at L. S. U. Here's luck to the future Dr. Burge, for he fully deserves itl - jo f jf f A. 9 - 1564. if if W J Mrs EN sun 160121, 24. ,np ' 4 , L 4-4,l'A..,- .lj YL , AQ, Although he may not look it, t is lika e fellow is very military-minde , or at least that's the conclusion we drew from the following facts: He wi attend Texas A. G M. and then enter the U. S. Air Corps, finally becoming a major in that branch of the service. You'll know him by the gold leaf on his shoulder. ANN BURRUS What Ann will do after graduating from B. H. S. seems to be a deep, dark secret, but if her high school career is any indication, she will lead a very active life. We are always hearing of Ann as being duchess of this, or queen of that, moreover, she has always excelled in school work. Confiden- tially, Ann, how do you do it? FRANCES BUTLER Da you like brunettes? Are you ill? If so, just call Frances, because she fills the bill perfectly. You'll have to go to Temple if you want her though, because her ambition is to be a nurse in the Scott and White Hospital of that city, and knowing her as we do, we're sure she'll get there. GLORIA ELAINE CAMMACK A work of art herself, this charming senior chooses art as her vocation, and already she has done some good work modeling and drawing fashion de- signs. After her graduation from S. M. U., she plans to further her education at the Dallas Art Institute. Aside from her art ability, Gloria is mighty successful in drawing interest from the boys. WYLMA LOIS CAMMACK Wylma Lois just won't tell us what her plans are, but we know one thing, she certainly has been a pleasure around here, with her gay friendly ways and charming smile. If she includes herself in her collection of snapshots, we know it's a grand collection! We hope all your dreams come true, Wylma. EVERETTE A. CAMPBELL During his three years in good old Beaumont High, Everette has been a fine student. He plans to attend a naval preparatory school and then join the navy. His ambition is to go into real estate work after being in the navy a few years. Girls, this fellow looks like the right typel DOUGLAS CANANT Douglas, a well-known student for the past three years, wants eventually to work for the Magnolia Petroleum Company. His favorite subject has been mechanical drawing. He finds fishing a most interesting diversion. You have all that's essential to success, Douglas, so go ahead! 28 NORA ANN CARROLL Nora Ann is probably one of the most accomplished persons in the class. In addition to having made high grades in her studies, and having done ex- cellent work in the Student Council and on the Pine Burr, she can handle, with dexterity, a violin, piano, rifleg does public speaking, and cuts a nice figure on the ice. Here's to the further development of your versatility, Nora Ann! GLORIA ALINE CARTER Aline is a kind-hearted and war-conscious girl who wants to become a nurse. Her hobby is dancing, and history is her best liked subject. Her patient disposition and dependability will be quite an asset in her chosen vo- cation of nursing. SENTELLE CARVER Sentelle does not plan to go to college, but instead he plans to start selling ladies' shoes. However, he hopes later to be a pilot in the army. Printing is a favorite subject and his hobby is photography. There seems to ge qiirite a future for pilots now, so you should be EXTRA good at that, entelel JASPER CACIOPPO Brown eyes, black hair, a zest for sports and civics may not mean much separately, but combined they make Jasper Cacioppe. We aren't sure just where he'll attend college, but we do know that he'll major in engineering. Jasper secretly would like to be President, but we predict his success at the former occupation. DORIS CHANDLER Doris is one of those practical girls, yet also ambitious, who want to become private secretaries. Since her favorite subject is typing, she has made a good choice. Collecting poems is her hobby, so she shouldn't become a grind with such a pleasant diversion. GUY W. CHEESMAN, JR. Guy is one of our best-known citizens at B. H. S. He's traveling all the way to Boston Tech to college, and expects to major in marine engineering. While at B. H. S. he has distinguished himself by serving as the sports editor of the l94l Pine Burr, and as a leading track star. Guy isn't sure he wants to marry, but he does hope to be a prosperous citizen. GLORIA CLAWSON Gloria, one of our prettier brown-eyed, chestnut-haired seniors, plans to follow stenographic work as her occupation.

A, N. is going to Lamar first, but plans on completing his education at L. S. U. He's made o nice record for himself at Beaumont High.

However, he has the talent and at- titude thot make people include him in their confidence and count on him. VINCENT JAMES COCO There are ups and downs on the road, we say, and Vincent is definitely in the up class. His energetic willingness to cooperate is certainly re- markable, and in the printing shop, where he plans to spend his future, he really shows 'em how it's done. We really admire this boy's good nature and ability to tackle hard work. GEORGE W. COE Here's one who puts collecting stamps and breeding tropical fish before anything else Ieven girls, believe it or notl. This lad with blond hair and blue eyes is by no means an idler, he spends o proper amount of his time studying and plans to attend Lamar after graduation. BILL COLE Whether Bill acquired that gift of making friends from Dale Carnegie's book or not, we just don't know. But could you ever in the world guess judging from his long list of Beaumont acquointancesl that he hasn't been here very long? Commenting upon Bill's character further, we can also say that he is one of our most intelligent and adaptable boys. BOB COLLINS Bob is neither a ladies' man nor a woman hater, he is that good natured boy who is planning to attend Texas A. G M. or Lamar. With his fine qualities, he is already well on his way to reaching his goal, and we are positive that some big factory will be proud to call him its chief engineer. 29 RAY L. COMER Ray is slightly on the modest side. He will be satisfied with being just a millionaire. However, we can hardly blame him, and he really does get down to brass tacks at times. He really goes for economics, but plans to major in business law at Louisiana State University. J ESS CON DON Jess is one who enjoys a wide variety of things. With music and athletics as sidelines, he plans to attend Lamar and major in chemistry. The Order of De Molay can certainly be proud to proclaim his membership in their or- ganization, because he is a mighty likable lad, with a cheerful disposition and many friends. FRED CONERLY If you haven't been in a class with Fred you really have missed some- thing. His quick wit and likable nature make him friends wherever he goes. He is a smooth dancer and really a swell fellow. Whatever he decides upon as his life work, we are certain that he will do that task well. EARN EST RAY CON ES An unusually industrious fellow is Earnest Cones. He plans to take up aviation as an occupation some day and, as we notice, he believes in work- ing hard right from the beginning. He is an unusually friendly fellow to know, and with all of these fine qualities, we know he will realize his am- bition, which is to fly the Yankee Clipper. BILLIE COOPER Billie is one of those very quiet personalities, but you can't help noticing her excellent work. Outstanding, in our opinion, is the fact that she is one of the sweetest, kindest friends we've ever had. This student is a real algebra shark, but she is just as outstanding in any subject we could mention. PRESTON COOPER Genial, brown-eyed, Preston, who is very much interested in aeronautics, intends to follow a general C. A. A. course right here in Beaumont at Lamar. His favorite subject is geometry, his ambition is to achieve success in his chosen field, and indubitably he will. JACK CORNISH This diminutive fellow, who is well known to most of us, intends to follow a civil engineering course at Lamar and then at A. Cr M. We know that Jack will make a fine engineer and will make a success of whatever he does, considering his good scholastic record and excellent mental ability. Good luck, Jack! MILTON COWART Bull Dog , as Milton is known to mast of us, has been a swell guard on the football team for the Purples, and all of us will remember him for that, but we also know that he possesses the qualities that will enable him to make a success of whatever business or profession he should choose. lt's fine to have known you, Milton, and the best of good fortunel ZENO COX Ask for a versatile person, and we give you Zena. He plans to major in English, but his hobbies are cartooning and photography, so watch if you strike a rather undignified pose, because Zeno is sure to be around. A cheerful and interesting personality is Zeno, and we know that he just can't help attaining his goal. THOMAS GORDON CRADDOCK This handsome lad with the black hair and flashing brown eyes has a ready smile for everyone he meets. He is one of B. H. S.'s cut-ups and is loads of fun. Auto mechanics is Tommy's favorite subject, and he will matriculate at the Mechanical School in Houston after his graduation from high school. BILLY CULPEPPER With his black hair, sparkling black eyes and winning personality, Billy is bound to go places. Yes, girls, you really have a treat here. Although undecided as to what vocation he is going to follow, it is safe to predict that, whatever field he chooses, he is going to nm 'em all a mighty close race to the top. ii JIMMIE CUMMINS Fun-loving Jimmie intends to major in chemistry at Lamar and will follow the occupation of electrical worker. His ambition is to some day own a big ranch stocked with the finest cattle. We know that Jimmie's fondest ambition will be realized, and we wish him luck. SAM DANNA Handsome, blue-eyed, brown-haired Sam Danna, who lettered two years in football and was one of the best backfield men in this district, intends to stay in the athletic field, since his ambition is to play professional baseball. ASL of-las know that he will make a fine ballplayer, because he has what it f S. P f ff .Qi-WK ELIZABETH wmv DARLAND .J-.JM Begy stands out in our minds because she enchants us with her naturally I-'liurly brown hair, and she is such a snappy little pack of attractiveness, R specially when she's wearing a dash of red. Friendly and engaging as we 1, ,,. can imagine, Elizabeth honors you blond boys by voicing you as her prefer- ence of masculine companionship. 30 ELEANOR DAVIS Eleanor seems to us to be a model example of the present day American girl. Well-informed on current happenings and at the head of her classes, she still retains her feminine poise and attractive appearance. Always an enthusiastic participant in student activities, Eleanor has been active in the Student Council and has served as Editor of the School News. JOSEPHINE DeBARTOLO Here's a charming miss who collects charms as her hobby. We don't know what occupation she'll follow, because she doesn't know herself. Here's her problem: she enjoys sewing, but she thinks that being a beauty operator has its advantages, too. We don't know the answer, but we do know that she will do well at either she chooses. WILFORD DEBES Wilford's favorite activity has been his football playing, and he's done some fine work there, too. Football is one sport that shows whether o fellow has the perserverance to keep trying hard, the physical ability to play the game, and the intestinal fortitude to take all the hard licks. Wilford surely has these. DOROTHY DEW Dorothy just seems to have all the zip and personality that one could ask for, and for that reason she has certainly made one big hit in B. H. S. She maintains that home economics is her principal interest just now, but when we see her with some of the fellows, well-we have different ideas. WILLIAM STEINMAN DICKSON This happy-go-lucky fellow seems capable of almost anything and every- thing, ranging from physics to stepping out plenty high with all the girls. Billy intends to follow architecture, and, considering his ability, you can depend upon his making his work something more than o mere hobby. LAURA F. DISHMAN Deeply interested in her work, Laura has made a grand record in Beau- mont High. She is quiet and reserved, but has a cheerful outlook on life. With such good qualities as Laura possesses, she is bound to reach the top. Indeed, we guess Laura is quite patriotic, for, in her estimation, the top is to work for the government. EARL DUESLER There may not be a doctor in the house at present, but Earl will soon be answering the call. This brown-eyed lad plans to camp ot Texas Uni- versity's door step and major in medicine. Believe it or not, composition is his favorite subject and hunting, his pastime. No need to wish Earl lucky he will make his own breaks. DOROTHY FRANCES DUNHAM Since Dorothy likes to keep scrapbooks, we hope she has kept one of her school days lwith plenty of pictures of usl. As our little Dorothy's am- bition is to travel-after being somebody's secretory a few years-via scrap book is our only means of going along. Mg. , - L.. ,. -- 4 ,,. i.r- va. -' KATHRYN ANN DUNN ,, ff' Kathryn Ann Dunn, the personality everyone knows. When we see a yellow convertible jolting along Broadway lNew York, we presumel, we shall know the peak of her ambition has been reached. These blond curls will deck the halls of Lamar for two years and then go to Texas U. We've no doubt about Kathryn's success. JOHN PATRICK EGAN This towhead and king of mathematics and science makes any company lively with his keen wit. Pat gains one's admiration by doing difficult things with perfect ease. He is going to Texas University to study engineering. Best of luck, Pat, our heartiest support will be with you! SHERWIN ELKINS Elks plans to enter Texas U. and he desires to be a civil engineer.

WALTER LEE ELLIS Walter wants to be a petroleum engineer. If he fulfills his wishes, we shall all see him under the good old colors of A. F: M. next year. We wish you worlds of luck and success, Walter, and we are confident you will be on outstanding asset to the engineering profession. BUDDY ENGLISH Possessor of musical talent that should enable him to go forward in the years to come, Buddy, as he is known to all of his friends and acquaint- ances, is one senior who will certainly make an impression upon those with whom he comes in contact. Sparkling enthusiasm and ability to please others are his valuable assets. WALTER ERICKSON Walter doesn't plan to go to college, but will enter the trade of printing after he finishes B. H.S. Some day he might do the printing for one of our future Pine Burrs. Judging by his high school record, he would be welcome in anv establishment. 31 MARY ERWIN Mary wants to be a good graduate nurse. She plans to enter Hotel Dieu. If Mary nurses us through a case of small pox, we'II all be glad to say that she was in our graduating class. Considering her quiet, capable manner, we can bet her patients have a great chance of recovering. ZENA FARACI Zena is another one of those pretty brunette senior girls distinguished by dark brown eyes and hair and a winning smile. We believe that throughout the years to come Zena will use her favorite subject, home economics, to a good advantage in a home making career. SOLON DOUGLAS FEINBERG Well, here is another handsome senior with brown eyes and brown hair. Solon plans to major in Coast Guard work and hopes to follow an occupation along this line. His hobby is athletics. He hopes to be a multi-millionaire, and we really can't blame him for it. HENRIETTA FERTITTA Here is another pretty senior girl with the type of beauty we all like to look at-that dark brunette beauty with an olive complexion. Her favorite subject is home economics, but she tells us that her ambition is to be a beauty specialist. DOROTHY LOUISE FIELDS Dorothy plans to attend Texas U. and major in history, but she intends up her outstanding work in violin and piano. Besides being a loyal member for three years, she has won a reputation for always hav- and for staying at the top of her class. JOAN LEE FLOYD is one of the sweetest and prettiest girls we know. This brown- green-eyed miss plans to attend Texas U. and major in history and Guess what her favorite subject is. No, it's chemistry. Joan simply wants to accomplish something in life, and we can bet that she will. JUAN ITA MARIE FORSYTHE Everyone who knows Juanita loves her. She always has a big smile ready for anyone and an abundance of personality. Planning to attend Lamar next year ta study journalism, she should certainly make a top-notch news- paper woman with her excellent scholastic qualities. J. O. FOXWORTH, JR. J. O. is one of those fellows that keep their thoughts to themselves. Brown-haired and blue-eyed, he plans to major in mechanics. Someday he hopes to realize his ambition of being a professional airplane mechanic. Collecting guns, which is his hobby, should help him with mechanisms. BETTY FULLEN If you see a little girl walking through the halls whistling and looking full of mischief, that's Betty. She is quite happy-go-lucky and lets nature take its own course. Keeping us tickled to death with all her nonsense, Betty is loved by everyone in B. H. S. and will make a big hit no matter where she happens to go. DOROTHY ADELE GADDY This petite little miss is just about the cutest number to be found on our dear campus. She is a whiz of a dancer and can really cut a rug. Dot has a cheery smile for everyone and really brightens our halls on those dreary days. Houston University is her choice of higher learning where she will study home economics. ELIZABETH LILLIAN GADDY One of our most attractive seniors, Lillian has that kind of olive com- plexion which causes quite a bit of envy among the feminine sex. In addition to pulchritude, this charming girl boasts a nimble brain. Her clever logical arguments make her a welcome addition to the classroom. EDWIN GALEWSKY Not a dull minute when you're around Edwin, because he's just as lively and full of jokes and fun as they come. However, he is one fellow who is willing to help the school. His oratorical speeches are very commendable, while he has also done efficient work on the Pine Burr, doing well in his classes at the same time. CECELIA WALDI NE GALLIEN Our title for Cecelia might possibly be that of unsung hero, for she never clamors for attention or recognition, but her well-done tasks keep the classroom machine oiled and working properly. Thoughtful and generous always, she can always be counted on to do her part well or help a friend with his problems. FRANK GALLOWAY Frank's an athletically-minded boy whose idea of a good time is going canoeing. He is rather quiet, though, and all we could discover about his plans for the future is that he will attend college. It's our guess that he'll turn up on an athletic field somewhere, and perhaps he may be Coach Galloway in a few years. 32 RAY GAMMILL Resourceful and clever, Ray is one stude about whom we have no worries concerning what the future has in store for him. This little classmate will make his own breaks, and he'll probably go after opportunity before it knocks. lf gloom and worry start chasing Ray, he can just vanish them with his smile and good spirits. HUGH GARDENIER Hugh has done very commendable work here in Beaumont High, having made excellent grades and served as one of the associate business managers on our Pine Burr. After Hugh has finished Georgia Tech, we hope he will fly higher in success than either his model airplanes, or the ones he will design. VERNON GEORGE With a love for fishing, a knack for wood work, and a desire for success, Vernon is, to use his own words, just another big handsome bruiser from Amelia. One with such a variety of interests is sure to win many friends, no matter where he goes, and the aviation classes at L. S. U. will be no exception for Vernon. JOSEPH GIARDINA Tall and lanky, Joseph could probably be called Beaumont High School's very best tennis player. To save our necks, we just can't seem to make connection with the little tennis ball, but Joseph seldom misses. This stu- dent's skill and pleasing ways are really going to be a joy to any employer. ROBERT M. GELDARD Underneath this felIow's Ionguid pose is really some ambition. After graduation, he plans to do office work, but whether it's a white-collar job, or just general flunkie , his friendly air and winning personality are bound to aid him in succeeding. VIOLA MAE GLOVER Viola Mae seems to have a way about her that makes her the center of attraction wherever she goes. Maybe it's her beautiful reddish, brownish, goldish hair that always looks as if it had just been combed, or her rippling laugh or cute personality or-well, maybe she's just swell and can't help it. J. B, GODWIN, JR. J. B. believes in the traditional like father, like son , for he's going to follow in his dad's footsteps and become a petroleum engineer. Judging b the ability he has shown in B. H. S. in scholarship, initiative, and coop X ' hy, headed for the top in a big way. ! K MARY Auce GONZALES ' A . Being pretty enough herself, Mary Alice wants to devote her life tv-Q beautifying other women. She wants to be a beautician Possessin a sof l - 9 sweet voice and a pleasant smile, she is loved by everyone around Beaumont High. When you see beautiful women come forth in the world, you will know they are subjects of Mary Alice. EWELL D. GOOCH About the best guard in the business, Ewell has three football letters to his credit. He will not be forgotten soon after leaving Beaumont High, be- cause he has played outstanding football consistently. Ewell seems to be a rather quiet fellow, and we wonder what dreams he cherishes. We surely hope that they all come true, Ewell! TAYLOR GOODMAN Although Taylor has not been here long, we're already glad to have his name on our list of graduates. His instructors have enjoyed him, be- cause in class he maintains that air of quiet enthusiasm and always is at- tentive to class work. Later we know that his employer will be pleased with his unruffled, efficient methods. MARY ELIZABETH GORDON Mary has truly an exceptional combination of interests, and she has proved herself outstanding in all of them. Ranking high in her class in school work, she is also one of our most accomplished musicians, handling 'cello and piano with equal skill. However, her inimitable grin and sub- stantial tvpe of beauty would make her one of our favorites without all her accomplishments. LEO GOUDCHEAUX Here, ladies and gentlemen, is really a good sport. Leo plans to major in chemistry and become a pharmacist. He has made a host of friends here at Beaumont High, besides being popular with the faculty. We are losing a grand student in Leo, but the University of Texas is getting a grand addition. WILLIAM EDWARD GRAHAM A dash of humor, a patch of blond hair, and a green convertible Ford, and there you have Billy. He seems to be every place at once, he really gets around. Smooth on the dance floor, popular on the campus and a hit wherever you put him, he will surely be a great success at Culver next year and at Texas U. later. PAULINE GRAHAM Pauline is one of the more domestic students. Home economics is her favorite subject, and she plans to major in it at T. S. C. W. However, our guess is she will be majoring in home economics in a little cottage all her own. Good luck to you, Paulineg we know you are sure to manage excellently. 23 PERCY GRAY, JR. This is station WZYZ bringing you the music of Percy Gray and his orchestra. Yes, Percy has a brilliant career ahead of him, leading one of the nation's biggest dance orchestras. When Percy is sitting on top of the worId, we shall be proud to say, I went to school with him. Music, Maestro, please! NICHOLAS GRAZIANO Nick plans to leave the United States to make his fortune. He wants to enter the oil business in South America. With coal black hair and bright blue eyes, he is really a model of taII, dark, and handsome. His ambition is to make a million dollars, and, with his good looks and pleasant person- ality, it shouldn't be hard for him. AUTRY GREER Who is that good-looking boy, with blue eyes and brown hair, coming down the hall? That's Autry. I guess you see the girls following him. We can't blame them. Autry intends to go to Texas U. and become a lawyer. His ambition is to become an excellent husband, and we know he will. ANDREW HACKER Andrew, after he graduates from B. H. S., plans to attend A. 6 M. and major in radio engineering, for this is the occupation he wants to follow. His hobby is working with radios, and his favorite subject is chemistry. All of this, combined with good work habits, should aid him greatly in his chosen field. JUAN HALE This boy is characterized by a steadfastness of purpose which is un- common. Whatever he undertakes or whatever subject he is interested in, he will pursue its mastery or completion with a relentless determination. Because of his knack for driving through to a good finish, we think Juan should be a good executive. JUANITA HALE Juanita is that very pretty girl with the blond hair, whom you have seen about the halls, and later you may see her gracing an office as an efficient secretary. Her hobby is dancing, and she is crazy about shorthand, which is a happy combination. Juanita has won many friends in high school, and we are sure that, with her ability and personality, she should attain her ambition. G. L. HALL, JR. G. L. is that quiet, intelligent boy with many friends. He is not plan- ning to attend college, but he intends to be an aeronautical draftsman. His favorite subject is mechanical drawing, and he spends most of his spare time designing and building airplane models. With his capability, we are safe in saying that G. L. will fly high. ONA LEE HALL With a love for designing and making clothing, Ona Lee is planning on following a closely related subject, interior decoration, as a possible career, and that should be enjoyable. On the sports side, she loves tennis and danc- ing. You've been a grand classmate, Ona Lee. WILMA HAMM This precious, blueveyed, brown-haired gal has served us well as our Captain of Royal Guards. Wilma has been a real pleasure and addition to B. H, S., and in personality and disposition she has been just all we could ask for. She capably and efficiently performed all her duties. HAROLD HARGRAVES This student is distinguished by his red hair, but Harold has lots of friends because of his cheerful disposition. He likes to build model airplanes as a pastime, and he wants to be an airline pilot. Who knows, Harold may be the one to fly us to Chicago, and we'll feel perfectly safe with him. ROBERT LEE HARRIS Bob plans to attend Lamar, and he thinks that the oil business sounds interesting. Having a goodly store of perseverance and interest in his work, we are willing to predict success for him. Bob's hobby is guns, and he has really proved outstanding with them. COLLEEN HARRISON . Known by her blond hair, green eyes, and a mighty intelligent way in the class room, Colleen plans to take up the work of a laboratory technician. Having seen her good grades and especially the good work she has done in chemistry, we predict a smooth path ahead of her. - 'I I ' ooilornv HART I Besides having a sweet and friendly nature, Dorothy is just tops in her music work. Among her many accomplishments are president of the orchestra for two years, a member of string ensembles, and a member of an All- Southwestern orchestra. We know that she has the talent to get her degree from Julliard School of Music. GERALD HATTON Gerald is that all-American fellow with a pleasant manner and dispo- sition. After finishing a course at Chenier Business College, Gerald would like to be a radio operator. If you're ever on shipboard and need to send o radiogram, you may be able to let Gerald take care of it. 24 DOROTHY LOUISE HAYES One of the most beautiful girls in Beaumont High is Dorothy, who, with her jet-black hair and blue eyes, will always be welcomed anywhere. She, like many girls, thinks that matrimony seems more alluring than the business world, and plans on a future along such lines. RICHARD HEARTFIELD Richard is a fine combination of the studious and the sociable. The girls claim that he's lots af fun on a date, and he surely seems to do all right with them. He intends to work hard at A. G M., to be one of our most efficient civil engineers. Incidentally, he loves to hunt and can really bring in the ducks. MARGARET HEBERT Who was that little brunette who made that cute remark? Why, it's Margaret! We might have known itg she keeps us laughing with her usual wit, and we love to be around such a cheery, pleasant gal. Margaret can really grind out a mellow tune on the fiddle. From the looks of things, she should have a cheerful future. - ' N!- ,Qg,uA -L V66-, ,uA4,a4LaA:f4. ei. 1-cup JOHN HEFFNER g,4MA,j,j, AAJLK, Another of our more handsome senior boys is John Heffnet. Viewing the occupation of petroleum engineer as interesting and profitable, he chooses. that as a tentative vocation. John has a grand personality, is our idea 'of a lovely person to know, and is a real pleasure to be around. i POLLY HEINRICH Our most ardent lover of football and ever loyal to her team, Polly has been a loyal, peppy cheerleader. In addition to her interest in football, she loves ice skating and is mighty proficient at it, too. In characterizing Polly, we may say that she is Purple Spirit personified. Mmuokls csciun. HENCKEL Although Marjorie is a little on the demure side, we are inclined to believe what all the old adages say on the subject of silence. Certainly, this sweet brunette doesn't lack intelligence. She is another of our class- mates who will pursue her fortune in the business world as a stenographer or private secretary. LEWIS BARCLAY HERRING Here's one redhead who doesn't have that usual display of quick tempera- ment designed to show up in most redheads. An unusually vivacious fellow is cheerful Barclay, always ready to have fun. He would like to have a big orchestra, and with all of his peppy qualities, we can't help but believe he may have one. FRANCES URLA HICKS A ready smile and a winsome manner are Frances Hicks' main assets. Frances hopes to become a musician, but our guess is she will become one of the bigtime women executives of the country, because of her adeptness for doing a thing and carrying it through. Here's luck and lots of success to Frances whatever she may be. ZELLA AGNES H ICKS Zella is another of those industrious students found around B. H. S. She doesn't, however, spend all of her time among books, for she delights in having a good time. With a such very likable personality as hers, Zella has made a lasting impression upon all of her teachers and fellow students. RUSSELL HILLARD Rusty lthe name being very appropriate because of his rusty-colored hairl is going to L. S. U. next year. A very ardent sports fan, it is only natural that his ambition should follow that line also. With his aptness as a ball player, it probably won't be long before we are all hearing from Rusty as an outstanding professional baseball star. DON HILLS The smallest player on the football team, but none the less capable, we give you Don Hills. We are going to lose him to Texas U. next year, but instead of just a football player, Texas U. will be receiving an all-around athlete. Also good in baseball, Don thinks he is going to be a professional baseball player. By the looks of it, we think so, too. MARGIE HINES This little girl really has a strong ambition-that is, to be five feel, two. She already has those eyes of blue, by the way. Margie is one big whiz at typing, and loves it, but she intends to step out into the future with her piano and leave the typewriter behind. We bet that she will reach the top, too. ENIVER EARLE HODGE Eniver Earle is a quiet young lady with a very likable nature. With a sweet disposition like hers, it shouldn't be hard to get what she wants. Her favorite subjects are history and home economics, but after finishing school, she wants to take a business course and become the private secretary to a handsome physician. LENA TRENT HOLMAN We nominate Lena for the gal with the most engaging smile. Just one look at her and, sure enough, she just makes the world look bright and cheery. Lena plans to major in languages, and with her clever brain she should do well at them. Ward Belmont will claim this Ii'l senior next year. 35 1'7 X L N l 5 A HARRIOTT HOLLAND Here is one of our prominent personalities that just has everything in the way of pep and friendliness. She has that gift of making you feel good. Harriott doesn't say much about her ambition, but from the looks of things, a certain boy should have something to say about that. YVONNE HOUSER Yvonne is just the sweetest girl we know. Friendly, sweet-natured, loyal, we are proud to have her as our friend. Although she wants to follow the insurance business, she thinks that travel would be fascinating. That sounds like an interesting combination, Yvonne. ELLSWORTH C. HOWARD That heavenly maroon and gray Ford convertible dashing by is Ells- worth's. This good-looking student is a favorite on the campus, but that is understandable since he has such a swell personality. Southwestern claims this happy-ga-lucky boy after his graduation. There he will study mechanical engineering. HUGH HOWARD Taking the old saying literally, Hugh is going to blaze the trail when he starts his life work in forestry. Not planning to go to college, he says he's starting with the actual work to gain the necessary experience. Not at all one-sided, Hugh enjoys sports and thinks that printing is tops. EUGENE HOWELL Chiefly known to those who frequent the drug house at Eighth and Calder as a friendly and amiable clerk, Eugene is a fine example of the ambitious high school youth who works while attending school. Although he has not divulged his desires for the future, it is safe to predict that he will succeed in any line of business he enters. M? 2-JH 3C'HRLES SHANNON HOWLAND, Jn. Hi-ho, this is Charles Howland, ye old announcer, signing off. And o very good announcer he is too. Our staunch Republican is really a very likable fellow, and he can back those opinions with a bit of mighty fine argument. The girls have extremely nice comments to express about Charlie, but he just seems to prefer masculine companionship. ALLEN HUGHES Allen, a swell guy, as his friends put it, knows his history from cover to cover, and plans to haunt the halls of Aggieland and become an engineer. Don't think we haven't noticed that extra large supply of perseverance and determination which he has thrown into all his activities! JAMES BRUCE HUTTO James Bruce has a happy disposition and winning smile that have won him many friends in dear old B. H. S. If something comes along his way that he doesn't especially like, he just gives it a big smile and goes through it as though it were his favorite pastime. After graduating, he will attend Lamar and later go to A. If M., where he will study architecture. BENJAMIN JULIUS IRVINE His interest in art should enable Julius to go far after he leaves dear ol' B. H. S. He says he might be a show card painter, and, judging from some of his drawings, he would make a very good one. Julius' favorite recreotions are hunting and fishing, both of which enable him to enjoy the great outdoors. lf, PAT IRWIN One glance at Pat's twinkling, Irish eyes and even the most unimagina- tive of human beings would know how full of mischief and fun she is. A pleasant mixture of brains and gaiety, with a cute little nose for news--a much needed asset for her chosen vocation of journalism-all go to make Pat as perfect a pal as you can find in Beaumont! JAMES B. IVERS Besides being vice-president of the student body, holding a number of other offices, excelling in all subjects, and being quite a favorite with the girls, James has proved his prowess on the football field over and over again. Texas U. will be indeed fortunate to gain this future chemical engineer. But, bad news, girls, he has apparently already mode his choice. JOHN IVERS John is just everything that we admire. A born leader and worker, he has made a splendid student body president. The teachers and students are mighty proud of him. Archaeologist-that's what he wants to be, and even though that is a rather unusual occupation, we know John can succeed at anything. NEVA JUNE JACKSON Judging by her attractive smile, pleasing personality, and cheerful dis- position, we may easily believe that Neva June might be an asset to the stage or screen, but instead of following a theatrical career, she plans to become a secretary. Some lucky boss is going to enjoy going to work every morning, and who wouldn't, with Neva June brightening up the office? RUBY E. JACKSON This quiet but very observing girl is well liked by all who know her. Strictly confidentially, Ruby's ambition is to be a successful dress designer, and with her unusual talent for art and excellent taste in clothes of all kinds, we know she will go through Lamar with an excellent record. :IZ ELLIOT A. JACOBS Texas U. is going to claim one of our best commercial math pupils in the form of Elliot. Elliot has photography for a hobby, and we hear he is good at it, too. He really wants to be a jeweler, and we know that his character is not less desirable than the gems he will sell. ALICE MARIE JONES Alice Marie is another who wishes to specialize in beauty culture. She plans to attend school in Dallas next year, and then she hopes to secure a position in the House of Westmore. With her pretty chestnut hair and sparkling blue eyes, the House of Westmore will not be able to turn her away. Good luck, Alice Marie! JOE J. JONES You have often heard that good looks and brains don't mix, but here is an exception to that rule. Joe is handsome as well as having plenty of brains. He wants to be a mechanical engineer, but he thinks he would make a better attorney. He has a grand speaking voice, which has won acclaim for him on programs as well as in his classrooms. JOY JENNICE JONES You have often heard that significant articles come in small envelopes. Well, this prophecy holds true with Joy. She isn't very tall, but she doesn't let that keep her back. She plans to attend Chicago University next year, studying to be an archaeologist. Her hobby, as is most girls', is having dates. Somehow we feel that one of these dates is going to take her to the altar. VIRGIL LEE JONES He isn't very big, but that doesn't bother him. Virgil has had three successful years at Beaumont High and has been popular among his class- mates and his teachers as well. He has a great future ahead of him as the owner of his own printing company. His hobby is collecting medals, which he will no doubt do in his profession. BILLY JOHNIGAN Billy stoutly affirms that his favorite subject in school has been printing. The fact that during the school year he devoted three full periods a day to this subject is ample proof of his statement. He has demonstrated his ability as a linotype operator in preparing the school news for printing. HILDA MAE JOHNSON Nice personality, ability to work, and efficiency are the qualities of good secretary, but to us they spell Hilda Mae. Her one amb'tion af mind, and with these characteristics, we are sure she can't LILLIAN RUTH JOHNS ' ' 6 Lillian Ruth-or better still just plain Ruth -is a pdrorae of o r stu- dent body. She likes to dance best of anything, whether the dance be over at two or not! Ruth likes drama, and some day she may take Katherine Hepburn's place. How about it, Ruth? finishing Chenier Business College, is to become a SlCfEf f TOM JOHNSON, JR. Dr. Johnson wanted in surgery. Dr. Johnson wanted in surgery. If you ever have to be carved on, be sure you go to Dr. Johnson, that tall, dark, and handsome surgeon. He has been acclaimed a favorite on the football team as well as in his classes. He is going to continue his success and popularity at Texas U. next year. Good luck, Dr. Johnson! JEAN JUSTICE Jean's exceptionally lovely character cannot be duplicated. Always at the head of the class, she lacks nothing in feminine poise and graciousness, to accompany her intelligence. This would be enough, but her service in the Student Council, her work as associate editor of the Pine Burr, and other extra curricula activities have made her as near perfection as we can imagine. ROY LEE KELLER Last year a new student, Roy Keller, came to B. H. S. from Dallas. Well, now he has shown us just what a friendly, congenial personality he does have, because in just a short time he has become one of our most popular boys. We're mighty glad Roy Keller came to Beaumont, since he has been a big addition to our good times. BOYD KENNETT Future years will find Boyd one of America's best known evangelists. If you don't know Boyd, you should meet him, for he is one of our most charming and amiable students, brightening everything with his good-natured smile. All the good luck in the world to you, Boyd! MARGARET CATHERINE KERR How can one help being a friend to one with such a smile and beautiful blue eyes? After graduating, Margaret plans to follow the exalted work of being another woman in white. May all the success and happiness be with her in her glorious work. FRANK THOMAS KING Frank is really a cheerful, amiable friend. With his big brown eyes, he sees the life of a butcher ahead, although he secretly nourishes a hope that he may some day be a movie star. Well, your good looks and personality may get you there, Frank. 37 JIMMIE KING A quiet and friendly chap, Jimmie is a person who gets along well with all his associates. After graduating, he is going to Texas A. G M. to carry on an engineering course. We know he will succeed and live up to such a fine high school record. MANDY LOU KING Mandy Lou doesn't need one thing in addition to her own sweet manner and neat appearance to make us love her, but would you take a look at the subjects in which she has excelled!-art, dramatics, and baton-twirling. We 'know we'II never forget her clever impersonation of the colored maid in the junior play, and, also, what a job she did as baton-twirler of the band. ARTHUR KNIGHT Arthur plans to use the experience he has gained in auto mechanics in the field of aeronautics. This good looking, brown-haired, brown-eyed boy has been a favorite with all his teachers and classmates. Good luck to you, Arthur. TRUETT LAMBERTH Truett is an ambitious young, black-haired, blue-eyed fellow who hopes to become a traveling salesman, and when he gets out of school he wants to travel and see as much of the world as possible. Truett is a hard worker and gets wells?-ith everyone, especially the girls! A fb' on JEANETTE LAMARR Our petite student here has two main interests, and they sound os though Dhey might be worked into a happy combination. Jeanette could possibly use her singing to brighten up the routine of a business career in case she decides to use her typing to such an advantage. This pretty girl would do well at either. JEAN LEACH Jean had rather play for people to dance than to dance herself, which is splendid, because someone has to play. She plans to attend Lamar, where she will study to become a librarian. We are sure that she will achieve success because of her nice disposition and her ability to work. DOROTHY LEGGETT Dot has lots of friends, because she likes everyone and everyone likes her. She plans to go to college, hasn't yet decided, but you can bet she'II be well liked on any campus. Dorothy does know that she wants to be an aviatrix. A grand person to know, and we wish her all the luck in the world. PAT LIGON When Pat leaves B. H. S. she is going to adorn some business office as someone's very efficient stenog. If Pat shows as much interest in all of the phases of the business world as she has in B. H. S., she shouIcln't have one bit of trouble in having a fruitful career. Loads of luck to you, Pat! MARY LEONE Mary's ambition is to be a secretary, and we know her honesty and pleasing personality are sure to win her success in this field. One of our best examples of school spirit, she has shown her loyalty to B. H. S. by serving as second lieutenant for the Royal Guard, and proved a great asset to that organization. JANIE LEWIS Here's a girl who prefers bicycle riding and skating to dancing 'til two a. m., and after a few sleepless nights that sounds very reasonable. With an insatiable curiosity to find out what's inside of things, she has a natural love for biology. Janie's greatest ambition is to work in a department store, a d here's a heap f good luck, Janie. JO ELLEN LEWIS tops on our list of friends. Besides having a sweet and friendly simply dazzles us with her skill at dancing and ice-skating. surely miss this popular, well-dressed young lady, and the B. H. S. won't be the same without her superb dancing. RAY J. LIGHTHALL, JR. Ray is a heartbreoker. While his main interest is in girls, he still has little room left to concentrate on the gridiron and to get good grades in math. He plans to go to A. 5' M. and study aeronautical engineering, but if I don't miss my guess, we'lI hear from him on the all-American team of l945. CARL LINDER Very fond of football, other sports, and life in general, Carl devotes the serious side of his life to mechanics. Apparently, the World of Tomorrow should be pretty bright if the rest of the prospective mechanics work as liard and are as efficient as Carl. Best wishes, Carl, we expect to hear more from you. GENEVA LINDER Our vote for a very efficient little worker, in everything she does, goes to Geneva. She is most interested, however, in photography, but intends to fallow the line of beauty parlor work in the future. Also, we can tell, just by looking at Geneva, that she practices what she will preach, concerning that beauty parlor work, we mean. 38 WINCHELL LIND The owner of this friendly and happy-go-lucky personality has the knack of getting along well with people. Winchell, somewhat in accordance with his sweet, pleasant nature, is interested in becoming a floral wholesaler, and if we know Winchell, he won't be begging, please buy my fIowers. Instead, he is likely to have people begging to buy from him. NELDA CHRISTINE LINDER Nelda's ambition lies in the very honorable field of bookkeeping. Judging from Nelda's blond hair and blue eyes, our guess is that it should be hard for customers to keep their eyes on their books. B. H. S. will miss Nelda next year, but we know that she will be working hard on a course in business college. MARY LOUISE LOW Mary Louise will be another in the line of business girls. She wants to be somebody's stenog. Everyone must know her by her dark red hair and quiet manner. She is very fond of history, and is very active infsports all kinds. Climb right up the ladder classmat S ' f - PHIL HAMPTON Phil will make some firm a good lawyer, and his bond hair d green eyes will mow the offense down. Phil's ambition is to be a success at law and a good citizen. We know that his excellent vocabulary and ability to argue well should make him a top-notch lawyer. MARCELLA MADDOCK If you see an attractive brown-eyed girl walking down the hall, followed by many boys, that's Marcella. She has not decided what occupation she is going to take up, but she is going to T. C. U., and we are sure they will make up her mind and be glad to get her. CHARLES ANTHONY MAGLIOLO Anthony has already chosen his career. He is a born salesman, and his ambition is to own his own store. Baseball games are not complete without him, he really likes to play ball, and play he will, with all the vim that is so necessary to the game. LUCILLE JOSE MAGLIOLO Although a bit reticent, Lucille makes up for all she doesn't say by being just about the best natured, sweetest tempered classmate we know. We nominate her hobbv as the most generous,--that of helping students with homework! Lucille's sweet character should carry her far! RUTH MANNING Ruth's favorite pastime is dancing, but she can't dance all through life. This pretty girl will have a career. She'Il be a nurse in a large hospital for a while. Then she's going to get married and take it easy. That's a well- balanced combination, Ruth. SAM MARZ ULLA Sam hasn't decided just where he is going to college, but from his record in the auto mechanics shop of good old B. H. S., he will make some mechanical school a good student. Sam collects old coins for a hobby and some day may be o millionaire. Good luck, Sam! CHARLES RICHARD MASSEY Charlie hasn't decided just where he is going to school, after graduation, but he favors chemistry and is going to make that his occupation. We are all sure that he can do it, and with chemistry his favorite subject - - BLAMI there goes an explosion in the lab! We know it couldn't be Charlie, though. KATHRYN JEAN MAYHUGH ' One of Beaumont High's favorite secretaries is Kathryn Mayhugh. She hopes to go to Chenier's and take shorthand and typing. She's here, there, and everywhere, because she likes to meet new people, and this attribute should be a great deal of help in her future work. JOHN E. MAZZOLA This geometry shark plans to make good use of his mathematical knowl- edge by taking up engineering at A. 6 M. John Edward, popular both with teachers and students, has made a real hit at Beaumont High School. We are sure he will be equally popular after he leaves us. MARGUERITE MCANANY Marguerite is our cute little brown-haired, blue-eyed artist. She plans to be either an interior decorator or beauty operator. Her favorite subject is art design, and her hobby is collecting pictures of Washington, D. C. Marguerite is a hard worker, and we know she will be successful in whatever she attempts. ANNIE MCCARBLE Annie is one of our quiet and studious pupils. We are sure that she will attain her goal, to be a missionary. This black-eyed, black-haired girl's favorite subject is shorthand, and her hobby is good reading. We all wish Annie the best of everything. 39 BETTY JEAN MCCHESNEY All of us lave Betty for being so sweet and gracious. This popular miss makes A's consistently and has worked hard as our Pine Burr Business Manager. That sounds studious, but she knows her way around a dance floor as well she knows the way to the top of the class! MARY MARGARET McGUlRE Z e singing s etary, yes, if you hear a program on the air by this me, you will istening to Mary Margaret. She intends to take up music a ,Bayl ' h fa rite subject is American history, and her hobby is drawing. I, ell are not all along the same line, but we are sure she can do hing with them. OLIN McHALE Perhaps the most talented artist in Beaumont High has been Olin McHale. This talented boy has carried off many prizes, and has distinguished himself by having his cover design used for the l94l Pine Burr. His artistic ability has also exhibited itself in the stage, decoration and cuts for the paper. yn 1 ' - ' , ,K v,,' ,,f1. Zzjiw 'MTX 4' mffWii'Xif7MEsTAY'EoK: f'M-4 L' .BT--1 4-KJ . Headed for success is our charming Blondie. A peppy, congenial person, she is the possessor of a clever brain which should assist her in the business world. Sarah would be welcome in any business establishment, and here at Beaumont High we have welcomed her wit and friendliness. JUAN ITA RODRIQU EZ MEZA Juanita Meza, that flashy little Latin, plans to take up nursing after her graduation. Juanita, equally proficient in Spanish and English composition, is most popular with the faculty because of her exceptional literary ability. A successful career will be a just reward for such a fine girl. PEGGY MICHAEL Peggy Jo has acquired that air that we're quite envious of. It's hard to define, but it is something of an air of freedom and a subtle sophistication. Her charming manner will help boost her to the tap ranks of whatever job she takes on after her graduation from Beaumont High School. DOUGLAS MILLER Just mention anything concerning civics and watch this bay shine. He says it's his favorite subject now, but after graduation he will give over to those deep, dark subjects that ga into the making of an engineer. Doug is a good, hard worker, and you can bet that he will be an engineer super- excellent. HEBERT MILLER With home economics as his favorite subject, hunting and fishing his hobby, bookkeeping and accounting as his future profession, and an ambition to make o trip around the world, it is quite evident that Herbert is one of the brainier of the class of '4l. His winning personality and pleasing man- ner are sure to give him a big boost up the ladder of success. GERALDINE MITCHAM When some of you young business men stroll into a big office, don't be surprised to find that Miss Mitcham, that cute little girl who graduated in your class, is the private secretary. This is the posiion Gerry wants and certainly deserves. Here's luck in finding it, Gerry. LaRETTA FRANCES MITCHELL This petite lassie plans to grace some local business man's office. After high school she plans to attend Lamar and then enter commercial work. LaRetta, a flash on ice skates, was indeed one of our most popular senior girls. We hope that LaRetta will be as successful later as she was in high school. HELEN MOORE Surrounded by a world of personality, Helen has made a lasting im- pression upon all of her campus friends. She plans to attend Lamar and learn to type her future so she will be able to enter the business world. B. H. S. will miss Helen's cheerful smile and friendly manner next year, but the best we can da now is to wish her the best of success. JOE CLAYTON MOORE Chemical engineers had better look to their laurels. Jae Moore will soon be among them. After attending Lamar and A. fr M. he will be well qualified for a position as a research chemist for some large industrial corporation of the Southwesww W1 EJNWUMKMARIE MORGAN Euber says she has no special ambition, she just wants to be a telephone operator. We know she will probably be something in the way of a telephone operator, because she never shirks work or responsibility. Collecting what- nots and taking pictures fill up her spare time, but Eubern is the kind of person that rarely has any. GERTRUDE ELIZABETH MORGAN Oh, those beautiful dimples and that million-dollar complexion! Gerti really has 'em. Just as sweet and friendly as can be, and a synonym for pulchritude. She really has a way with a fiddle, too. So, fellows, step this way for a pleasant music lesson with a blue-eyed blond! 40 BOBBY LAMAR MORRIS lf you are missing o very dear pet some day, you might look at Bo ' establishment, for being a taxidermist, he might have run out of speci n to mount. When he makes enough money to retire from derric Z he is going to hunt and mount game in Africa. Well, it's been n e kno ng Bobby, anyway. HORTENSE MORRIS Hortense is a girl we just all can't help but like fo , with her spar g personality, she makes everyone her friend. A ble ray of hine, clouds are just frightened away by this ph o er's drea V entally, she is going to be the young lady in our es proving tooth- paste gives one that charming smile. FRANCES JEAN ETTE MULDER Attending Duquesne at Pittsburgh next year will be our Jeanette. She has been a fine all-around girl-an excellent piano player, clever in her school work, and popular with her classmates. Her teachers know that when- ever they need a dependable, responsible, hardworking student they can rely an her to get things done. PATRICIA ANN MULLINS Know anyone who wants an efficient secretary? With blue eyes and brown hair thrown in? Here she is, Patsy Ann, in person. Patsy is an all- around good sport. She has a very interesting hobby-keeping a scrapbook of B. H. S. activities. Thot's the good ole Purple Spirit! ALBERT LEE MYERS intends to become an aeronautical engineer for the government. After gradu- ation, Lamar and Texas A. 6' M. will claim this fine fellow. Judging from his record here, he should be quite an addition to the campuses of these two colleges. ' Taking his cue from the trend toward better national defense, Albert ,J lf . jJ hi 1 'Al CLARICE NEAL The sweet-spoken beauty from the speech class is Clarice. Everyone loves her for her gracious manner and that perfect disposition. ln fact, she's just everything sweet and admirable. Clever as can be in all her classes, is also musically inclined and can wring out a sweet tune from a fiddler DOROTHY NOBLE ,jf Q Dorothy is one girl that is just always well-dressed and cheqf Clffer JJ as can be in school, having won several state prizes on her t X e she is Q one of the school's most accomplished musicians, excelling -in b p o andJ harp. This year she was recognized as talent for herlhar pla ng 'n d 1 state-wide search for musical talent. EDWARD LAWRENCE NosLEs, JR. if ,J ,f An interesting fellow is Edward. An ardent lover of football, we attribulx J his nice bearing and physique to his love for that sport. Aviation will prob- X ' ably be his field of work, and he has already begun to prepare for such a d choice by spending some part of his spare time in building model airplanes. J l 1 EDWINA 0'FlEL . Here, dear students, we have our future designer. Edwina will attend Lamar for two years, and then she will enroll in Washington Universityxkot 3 St. Louis, Missouri. We know she will come up to our high expectatiollsx x -X for her, because we can tell that she has the jalentlfpr her, work. qw . rom OGLESBEE X' X. hall is one of his favorite subjects. He's another student who plans to att i ' Lamar and A. 6' M. With regard to his aspirations, he has a yearning to sail his own ship around the world. Smooth sailing, Toml Tom wants to be an engineer, although' he bashfully admits that siljix ,Y 'X N. -X- DORIS ELIZABETH OLDHAM ,R Stunning is the word for Doris' appearance, for you certainly turn around for a second glance at this girl with such beautiful black hair and clear, smooth complexion. Her chances for success in any field are enhanced by her personable manner and quiet, thoroughly-capable methods. GEORGE OLIVER Lon Morris Junior College of Jacksonville, Texas, will gain one of our more promising senior boys. George has a very laudable ambition to help humanity. After his term at B. H. S., this 6' l senior will pursue his studies in the field of architectural engineering. FERMAN 0'NEAL Ferman is one boy who is really shooting high. He wants to be an aviator, and we're sure he'll be a good one. Ferman's hobby is woodwork, and he likes to tinker with radios, so he probably won't have any trouble with a vocation which includes as much mechanics as aeronautics. GERALDINE O'N EAL Geraldine is considering being an artist. We might suggest that she can be the subject of the artist, instead, especially when we notice that shiny brown hair and those snapping brown eyes. Geraldine is also interested in postcards as a hobby. Lots of happiness to you, Geraldine. ' 4l ROBERT JACK ORRICK, JR. lt's easy to see why Jack is a leader in B. H. S. His honesty, industrious- ness, and sincerity have made us proud to call him our friend, and his good work in school has made him popular with his teachers. Having unusually fine work as president of our senior class, a member of the football team, and at the some time having made excellent grades, you deserve the best of good fortune, Jack. JACK OSBORN Though no one has asked for it, our opinion for the best trumpeter in the world goes to Jack. Also the possessor of a lively personality, this good looking band enthusiast has made a very praiseworthy place for himself in the minds of all his friends here in B. H. S. Our best wishes, Jack! PATSY OTT About the most profitable hobby on the campus is the one taken up by Patsy. Her hobby is the good old pastime of chatting. lHowever, this hobby -complains Patsy-has not been found very profitable in classl. To com- plete her education, she plans to attend Baylor, where we think she is sched- uled to come through with many new friends and a good record. JOE PARSLEY Joe is a cheerful fellow who really gets around, for he knows just scads of students in dear old B. H. S. He considers his hobby a strenuous workout on the track team as often as possible. Joe is planning to go to A. Cr M. in the future, after which he intends to follow the oil business. BILLIE MARGARET PARTIN Billie is very fond of drama. It is her favorite subject, and she would like to major in it, becoming an actress some day. She should not have to worry about her looks, for she is one of our beautifullest beauties. We ., Qbet that Billie soars high, lespecially since she also wants to become an Iuviatrix I . MVT GAIL JEAN PAYNE Gail plans on a career in the dramatic worldg however, she might be persuaded to give it up for love, if the right individual comes around. One might expect anything from a girl whose eyes are sometimes grey, green, and blue, with a hint of red when she's angry. LORENA MAE PEEL Want a good accountant? You don't need to look any further. For here's Lorena. She's going to be one of Lamar's best students. With her way of making funny jokes funnier, she's really swell ta have around. P. S. She collects dogs an the side. HAYWOOD PERKINS Haywood is the sportsman extraordinary. He has no definite ideas about college or his future occupation, but does he like fishing and hunting! A fine record as a dependable scholar will help him in whatever he decides to do. JAMES PHILLIPS Uncle Sam won't have to worry about his air force much longer. James will soon be one of his best pilots. He's one boy who really likes studying American history. He does it even in his leisure time. That sounds like a nice balance of physical and mental training, James. LLOYD CALVIN PHILIPS This bright-eyed fellow enjoys designing airplanes. He plans to attend Lamar and after that-who knows? Lloyd prefers reading to anything! He wants to become an aeronautical engineer, and it's our guess he'll make a good one, because of his outstanding work in B. H. S. SARAH LOU ISE PHILLIPS Sally likes to collect post cards of different places that she may have been fortunate to visit, and she loves to read popular books-don't get me wrong-not love stories. On the subject of romance, the bland lass says her heart belongs to Daddy, but she can't fool us. CLAUDIA PIERCE If I should try to describe Claudia to you, there wouldn't be enough good words in the dictionary to do it. Her ambition in the line of occupation is to be a secretary after she finishes Chenier Business College. With her unusual qualities, we are sure she will be a great success. 3 WESLEY PIERCE Wesley's ambition is to be a successful mechanical engineer. He is ays tinkering with machinery, and he hopes to turn his hobby into a ocation. His choice seems to be a wise one, too, because Uncle Sam needs good mechanics now for his defense programs. OSCAR BASCOM PIPES Oscar wants to be a reporter or an orchestra leader, and we're certain he'll get on the radio somehow. But first, he's going to represent B. H. S. at Tulane University. Sonny surely has helped to brighten the portals of our fair institution, and his grand personality has really made a hit with us. 42 BONNIE PICKETT Bonnie, the lass with the curls that are the envy of every other female, has only graced the halls of Beaumont High this year. Coming from Bessmay, she has taken subjects which will help her in attaining her aspirations for the future. She plans to become a secretary, and her fine character traits will take her a long way toward a fulfillment of that wish. MARVIS KATHRYN PITTS Rather serious by nature, one who combines an interest in collecting snapshots with an ambition to be friendly and helpful to others, Marvis presents to the casual observer an insoluble enigma. Her favorite subject is French, she hopes to achieve success as a clerk in a department store. VIRGINIA RUTH PIVOTO One and all acknowledge that Virginia is a real leader in our senior class. Her naturally curly brown hair with that reddish golden tint to it, and her finely molded features command a second look, while her own inimitable charm and smart clothes hold that look. Ward Belmont claims Virginia next year. BETTE PLUMMER This green-eyed miss has captured the hearts of all who know her. Sports are her special dish, but she likes tennis best of all. Daisy Elizabeth, as her closest friends call her, simply adores Latin and she doesn't mind biology. Bette's ambition is to be a top-notch saleslady, and if we know her, she'll be a good one! SYBIL PON DROM On first look at Sybil, your impression is what a gorgeous, blond, and after you know her you add to that statement, she's over with pep, hospitality and wit! Texas U. claims this little personality next year. FRANK POOL iPAT MclNNlSl Frank is one of the few young men of Beaumont who plan to combine the profession of teaching and agriculture. Adept at handling tools, Frank will erha s in the future be a manufacturer of furniture, which he will P r- P P design and plan. b ROY Pool. ,gl ,J When you don't feel well, don't take those popular little liver ls,,'l but go see Doc Roy Pool. Roy plans to go to Tulane and study m 'clad This fellow is far from being the studious type, though, since the rate him as one of their favorite dancers. V . ' JOHN R. POPEJOY f 7 John is perhaps one af our most likely-to-succeed stud . llvicgl of his scholastic achievements is the fact that he has served xpres depth of the Pan American Forum. His ambition to be o chemical, gineer is growing. John is also outstanding, because he's one of our very best marks- men. He hopes to attend A. fr M. next year and pursue a chemical engineering course. ROBERT PRESSLER ff Here are two hobbies which certainly don't soQnd.-Qu,r photogra- T phy and women, and these are Robert Presslerlsgqdhbjesq ati g 7 QQLLL, that this is quite on interesting fellow. His a ambitioiftlio , is to study chemical engineering. ,ff I 1 MARGARET PURCELL E' 'T' One of our more popular senior girls, Margaret Purcell, plans to become a head stenographer in some large concern. With a curt lass like Margaret in the office, any business would be successful. Those big blue eyes of hers wow 'em. As a student, Margaret has made many pleasant impressions on teachers and friends, all of whom treasure her friendship. JACK PURYEAR f' l object, Your Honor , that, my friends, will be the favori expres n of Jack in the near future. After attending Lamar and Texas Sta ' versity, he'II become one of our best lawyers. iPst. He wants to stu a- tion an the side. Maybe that's so he'll be sure to come through with flying colors.i MANIE FLORENCE QUICKSALL i Please note her first name. She doesn't like it to be misprounounc or misspelled. This auburn-haired lass plans to give Margaret Mitchell run for her money. Manie is going to be a really good novelist. We are wondering if she will do any writing in French, since she's such a whiz at it. CAMILLE S. RAMOS Camille is very versatile in the arts. She may be the future leading soprano of the Metropolitan, or our second Zorina. She hasn't decided which. Whatever she chooses, though, she should really be quite a charmer with her long ebony crowning glory and her unusually pretty face. LENORA S. RAMOS Lenora is one of our prettiest brunettes. She plans to combine her artistic ideas and mathematical knowledge to make a good saleswoman. Ah! it should be a pleasure to meet such a pleasant, attractive person while shopping, for she personifies tact and lovely manners. DORIS RAMSEY Only once in a million do you find the rare combination which Doris possesses, for she's popular as can be, and yet just ask the faculty if she isn't one of our cleverest, most dependable girls. Her outstanding character- istic is a considerate manner, she is always lovely to everyone and has a gift for putting people at ease. J. E. RAY J. E. would need no other write-up than simply a list of his accomplish- ments. However, we couldn't possibly find room for that. We're extremely proud of him for being a district championship swimmer. Not quite as many people know about his singing, but you can take our word for it that if he has an' ambitions concerning singing, he has the talent to realize them. LENA RUTH REESE Full of pep, happy-go-lucky, and the best friend in the world are all necessary phrases to describe Lena Ruth. This attractive senior's biggest interest has been in the Royal Purple football team, which she has Ioyally supported. She has not made plans for the future, but she will be tops in whatever she does. JAMES REEVES James has decided to go to Rice next year, and knowing his scholastic ability as we do, we're sure he'll do well there. A grand chemistry stude, James could do well with a scientific future, but he can't make up his mind, because he loves his drums and is excellent with them. James is also one of our best dancers. I A ToNv P. Raves This handsome Latin gentleman has captured the hearts of many of the fairer sex in his three years at dear old B. H. S. Tony's ambition is to be a first-rate aviator, so perhaps some day we'll see a huge transport zoom over and know that he is in the pilot's seat. Best of luck to you, Tonyl DOROTHY ANITA REYNOLDS Our nomination for the prettiest girl in B. H. S. is Dorothy Reynolds. She has a crown of flowing red hair which is the envy of every girl on the campus. Besides her red hair, she has sparkling blue eyes and o peaches-and-cream complexion. After two years at Lamar, she will grace the campus of Texas U., where she will study for civil service work. KATHLEEN WARN ER RICHARDS What Kathleen tells us makes it rather hard to predict her future. Her love for dancing and sports label her as quite fun loving, her favorite subject she claims to be typing, which shows a certain possibility of a fine business career, but here we see that she also loves home economics! Well, Kathleen, you have great chances for a happy life on whichever is your choice. JACK RICHARDSON Another in the select rank of important personages is Jack Richardson. This handsome student has been one of our outstanding athletes and has lettered in football and basketball. Naturally, the fairer sex have been a serious problem to Jack, but his swell nature iust made them shrug their shoulders when their wiles failed, and everybody still loves him. DON V. RICHEY It is really surprising to find how many B. H. S. students have already started on a career. Don has been working with radios quite a while and already has his Restricted Commercial Radio Operators license. Besides working with radios, Don plays string music. So our nomination for the most ambitious boy in Beaumont High is Don Richey. BAKER HUGH RIDDICK Most of the girls know Hugh for his dancing, and most of the boys envy him for his dancing. As you have probably already gathered, he is a WHIZ on the dance floor. However, we don't think there will be much dancing in the occupation which he intends to follow. He is going to be an undertaker. MAXEY STUART RIGGS If the days of Lochinvars are not over, Beaumont High will supply them with Maxey Riggs as one of the prominent members. Here is a boy the girls call him and the boys call Pal, for his congenial personality makes him liked by everyone. Beaumont High is really going to seem a little more on the sober side next year with Maxey at A. 6' M. CORA MAE RIGSBY After leaving Beaumont High, Cora Mae will attend Lamar, and then she hasn't quite decided where she will go from there. If there is anything in the art line that you want done, Cora Mae can do it for you, She's quite an artist. She also proved to be one of the best actresses the drama class had this year. Beaumont High is losing an excellent student in Cora Mae. BETTY JANE ROBERSON It's easy to read Betty's character an her face, because even if you were looking at her for the first time, you would probably remark that she has a look of feminine sweetness, coupled with intelligence-not that ob- trusive intelligence, but the kind that fits into her sweet nature. We hope your life will be a happy one, Betty. CLAUDE ROBERTS Claude is a boy that you can't help liking. He is pleasing to talk to and always puts a little humor into the conversation. He hasn't quite decided whether to study law or aviation, but whichever it is we know Claude will be a success in it. He has an excellent record for his three years at B. H. S. and will carry it to Rice from here. wgkk xA 'I YV3-5 '-nju-' an-'X' DENNY Rossa E G Denny has excelled in the sport which p p , ands the t ice hockey He has reall been a swell Ia n bi - Y P Y - good looking student does well scholastically too, because Ite- at algebra, his pet subject. After graduation he plans on a g nautical engineering course. ff i HARRY CARROLL ROBERTS, JR. In addition to being one of our most popular boys, Harry is one of our more ambitious lads who works when he isn't oin ta school Robs i 9 g . s a mighty sociable companion with hunting, fishing, and boating as his mascu- line astimes while he ' ' ' ' ' P , makes all the dances to find femrnm? ccp?1n HOWARD Rooms 4 Sandy hair, blue eyes, and always talking about airplanes--that's award. Yes, he is very interested in any phase of aeronautics. He wants to major in aeronautical engineering and be an airline pilot, he is going to L. S. U. next year, and we are sure he is going to be one of the favorites on their campus just as much as on ours. DOROTHY SUE ROBINSON One can see by Dorothy Sue's unusually attractive smile and clear bright eyes that she is something out of the ordinary in cleverness and a fun-loving nature. Strangely enough, though, even with that gay attitude she possesses, Dot has a clear thinking brain that could take her anywhere! LEE WARREN ROBINSON Another of our capable lads who voices aeronautics as his probable future occupation is Lee Warren. This skillful boy will attend Lamar next year, and in the future he will fly high in his work, the good foundation of which he no doubt will have gained from his experience with model airplanes when he was a boy. DARREL ROTHWELL Particularly fond of all of his high school interests and not being a fanatic an any one of them, Darrel is scheduled for a well-rounded career. Next year Darrel wants to take up a business course at Lamar. Possessing as lively a personality as he does, Darrel should find life immensely pleasant and entertaining, and he will no doubt make it the some for his friends. DOROTHY MAE ROUNTREE This pretty brown-eyed maid wants to join the ranks of starched whites and become a nurse. Her favorite subject, however, is bookkeeping and her hobby, that of correspondence. Dorothy has been an active member of the Royal Guards for three years, and she is a welcome addition to any group. MARY EDELENE RUNO Students and teachers love Mary because she's always willing to do a service for anyone. This year she has done a wonderful job for the Pine Burr on the advertising staff and also on the circulation staff. In addition to her work in extra curricular activities, she has maintained a good average in her classes. HARRY KENT RUPP H. K. is one of the swellest fellows in old B. H. S. and is a biology shark of no mean abilityg with his handsome black eyes and hair we feel sure that his personality will carry him far. H. K. loves to hunt and fish, and is known as quite an Izzy Walton in these parts. RICHARD E. SACKER Quite a wit is this happy-go-lucky fellow. His main object in life seems to be keeping everyone, including the teachers, constantly in good spirits. Richard's ambition is to operate a plant and a warehouse for the Magnolia Paper Company. Mth his winning manner he should make a go of it. HUGH SANDERS Hugh plans to attend Texas A. G M. after he graduates from beloved Beaumont High. In preparation for his career, he will major in mechanical drawing, for it is his ambition to be a first rate architect. Hugh's blue eyes sparkle whenever he speaks of his chosen work, and so we know that with such enthusiasm he can't fail. HOWARD GORDON SAU RAGE This nice-looking classmate is sports minded. He admits that his pet dream for the future is to go to Texas University and major in his chief interest. Later on he thinks he would enjoy developing the youth of America by being a tap notch physical education teacher. ALBERT LOUIS SCHERF, JR. Albert is our ace stage technician. He has been the man behind the scenes who has helped put over the assembly programs. Albert wants to be either a mation picture photographer or the manager of the St. Louis Munici- pal Opera. We're certain he'II be grand at anything. BERT SCHREIBER Here, we have our brilliant chemistry student. Bert's greatest ambition is to crack the atom. The other chemists insist that it can't be done, but we'lI make allowance for their ignorance since they just haven't met Bert. Our ambitious stude will try his luck at chemistry in Lamar and Texas U. 45 ROBERT J. SCOTT Robert plans to attend Lamar for two years and then to make his way to Texas A. G' M. for the next two. He wants to major in architectural engineering and become either an architect or a petroleum engineer. His hobby is stamp collection, ond from what we've heard, Robert has quite an assortment. MADOLYNE THERESA SEALE This charming blue-eyed miss plans to attend T. S. C. W. or Lamar upon her graduation from this institution of high school learning. Her favorite subject is geometry, and she is really a whiz at it! Here's hoping that Madolyne solves all the problems of life as well as she does her ge- ometry problems. AUBREY SHAFER The characteristic which you notice first in Aubrey is the capacity he has for finding his purpose and then finding a way to carry it out. Being one of our cleverer studes, this boy will excel in his life work, which will be construction engineering, and he will probably make many friends on his way to the upper ranks of his vocation. FRANCES SHARPE Frances is a whiz at all athletics, but she really shines at bowling. Be- cause of her excellent health, her ambition is to help others regain theirs, she wants to be a nurse. That is a very laudable ambition, Frances, and we wish you worlds of success in it. ROBERT B. SHELDON This little man with the great big personality wants to attend Lamar and major in history. Getting good grades has always been one of Bob's strongest points, and so we are certain that he will stand at the head of the class in everything. Sincere and hard-working Bob will fulfill his am- bition to succeed. WALLACE SHOOK, JR. All the people who know Wallace are captivated by his friendly smile and disposition. Many new friends should be his at Lamar and A. fr M. where he will study electrical engineering. His hope for the future is to be a successful business man, so here's to you, Wallace! HAL SHOWS Come on, Iet's play football. Hal is just one of those boys what am boys. And can he guard! Hal is going to A. 6' M. and he wants to be good at the profession he chooses. We know he will, because he has certainly shown a grand spirit here at B, H. S. JOSEPHINE SIFUENTES Take your mirror, give yourself the ance-over, then let me make a beauty of you. This will be the slogan of our future beauty operator. Josephine, one of our most attractive seniors, will become an expert in her vocation, we know. We'Il be mighty proud to patronize you, Jo. ROY SIMS Roy is well known for his pleasing grin and likable personality. With a degree in radio engineering as his ambition, he should make some city a fine citizen and some broadcasting station a good engineer. May Roy's life have as little static as our new radios on a calm day! HERBERT ARTHUR SMELKER In Herbert we may have a future Artie Shaw, a president of an insur- ance company that will rival the Metropolitan, or a future boat hanger- arounder. Those are the three things that interest Herbert most. But, whether he becomes executive or yatchsman, his grand friendliness and thpughtfulness to all will be unchanged. ,,1,f'?, ' 'V BARBARA E. SMITH , Off to California! We shall be sorry to see Barbara leave for her 11ative state this summer, for, in the eight years she has been here, we have ' - rown to love this fine girl who is always ready to lend a helping hand. jfiertainly she was of great assistance in the production of this yearbook and vu the editing of the school paper. Y J 'fi' ' BARBARA L. SMITH Picture an interesting, hazel-eyed little girl, bubbling over with mischief and fun, and there is Barbara. Despite her effervescent personality, she also possesses more than her share of brains, and she plans to use both to advance her plans for the future-first, a successful career and then, well, who can tell? EVELYN SMITH Evelyn intends-after graduation from college-to be a secretary to some big business man. Miss Smith fulfills all the requirements. She is smart, helpful, friendly, and efficient, and is just the type to take dictation, please. With more inhabitants like Evelyn, our old world would be a much more pleasant place. MARY EVELYN SMITH Knowing Mary Evelyn as we do we are certain that she will have a very happy life, and we also know that she will make all her friends and associates very happy too. Capable, amiable, and attractive, Mary Evelyn should have no trouble at all with whatever plans she has for the future. 46 PATRICIA SMITH Just what can we say to express Patsy's loyal, peppy spirit? A real gloom-chaser is she, and many a time we have been roused from the doldrums by her hearty greeting and her gosh-it's-good-to-be-alive grin. Patsy has been quite a distinguished Royal Guard, too. Q SIDNEY SMITH Sidney isn't so very big, but he has big ambitions. He hopes to attend A. Er M. and major in chemical engineering. Since we are well acquainted with Sidney's talent, precision, and careful work, we are quite sure that he won't be the victim of an unlucky lab. mistake. MARY SPENCER Petite Mary Spencer, one of the loveliest, most gracious girls in all our school, has endeared herself to the hearts of everyone who has ever known her. Her name is a perfect synonym for sweetness and grace. Our sweet and neat little blond will probably major in music at college, but, after that, this soft-voiced young person's ambition is to make some lucky person ever so happy by changing that Miss to Mrsl MYRA WINONA STERNS Someday the by-word of the well-dressed women of America will be Designed by Winona Stearns, for, believe it or not, this beautiful brown- haired senior is already talented in designing. Blue-eyed Winona of the Royal Guards believes in putting her ambition into practice by drawing and designing as a hobby. Here's wishing luck to a future Hattie Carnegie. CARL A. STEINHAGEN done exceptionally well at football, for he is a real s ortsman and has rea worked hard at all he has done. Carl is headed for A. stud structional engineering after his graduation. MARY ELIZABETH STON E This likable fellow has left his mark on B. H. S. in many ways. He 2 P Betsy is going to be some lucky person's stenograpl6 - N2 On the football field, out hunting, or working math, Carl shines at all ation from Beaumont High School and business college. We say lucky Q because her employer will certainly benefit from the cheerfulness and ready wit of this curly headed girl with the dancing grey eyes. Having varie interests, this girl is just full of fun and pep. 6:3 X WILLIAM HARVEY STONE This classmate's ambition is to be a radio technician. His hobby is tinkering with radios, and, well, boiling it down to one point, he's just plain interested in radio. All that perseverance and dependability are going to come in handy, Harvey. MARY JO SWAN ln later years, hard-working and ambitious Mary Jo will be a most helpful addition to the stenographic field. Her good looks and overflowing personality will aid her in making a name for herself, as they have in high school. An accomplished violin and viola player, having played in several state orchestras, the Beaumont High music department is really going to miss her. MIKE TAWEEL Folks, we have here Deacon Taweel, the tenacious tackle of the power- ful Purples' lunging line. All kidding aside, though, Deacon is going to L. S. U. for more football and training in the art of being a football coach. With sports as his hobby, physical ed. as his favorite subject, and his great talent and power, he'll be a top-notch coach, if anybody will. WILLIE REE TEAGUE Willie Ree is our dream girl-a merry brunette with dancing brown eyes who loves swimming, dancing, motor-boating, and football games. The only thing that worries us about Willie Ree is that she is going to be a nurse, and that may not workg she'll raise anybody's temperature ten degrees. MARGIE TEER Some day this red-headed minx with the canary in her throat and music in her heart is going to be the delight of the nation as its outstanding musical comedy star. If the public should ever tire of musical comedies, blue-eyed Margie plans to settle down to philosophy, but somehow we're sure the public will keep asking for morel WILTHA MARIE THEALL Wiltha Marie has her heart set on getting a job deciphering those mysterious symbols of that strange code called shorthand. As B. H. S. is get- ting a reputation for putting out efficient secretaries, Wiltha is sure to add to it with her quiet, pleasant manner. Here's to you, Wiltha! May you succeed in everything you attempt. GLADYS THOMPSON When you see someone walking down the street followed by men want- ing her to be their secretary, that's Gladys. With her attractive blue eyes and blond hair, and with typing as her favorite subject, we are sure she will make a fine addition to any business establishment. CHARLES G. THRASH, JR. Charlie is one of the more brilliant studes of the upper class this year. Here, my friends, is a boy that leans toward photography, music, and math. And believe it or not, he's good at all of them! Charlie thinks B. H. S. is a swell school with swell girls, especially the junior girls. Could Nell Ray have anything to do with that? 47 HARVEY TIPTON One of the latest recruits to the armed forces of the United States is Harvey Tipton, who has begun a career with the army air corps, where his frrst'tour of duty takes him to Puerto Rico. Known during his days at school by his cheerful adaptability to all situations, Harvey is sure to be a distinct asset to this branch of service. ZULA MAE TU LLY Zula Mae is a girl who enters into everything with the desire to see it through to a good finish. She is quite versatile, being equally good in English, shorthand, swimming, and marching in the Royal Guard, which last-mentioned service she has performed for the past three years. After graduation, Zula Mae is going to make someone a very efficient secrteary. NICK DOMINECK TUMINELLO This brown-eyed classmate is one of those fellows with a strong desire to find out just exactly what makes things tick. Nick really plans to be an A-I mechanic, taking time out from work occasionally to keep sports as his hobby. Sounds mighty sensible. MARY TUMINELLO Just be use she is quiet, Mary can't be put down as not doing much. Every tim e smiles, greets, or talks, she adds another friend to her long list. In h own way she has taken an active part in all our school activities, CARRIE KATHERINE TURNER blue-eyed, black-haired miss loves to sing. Singing is her hobby, it ould be, for she has been in the chorus three years. As soon as the ass of '4l graduates, Carrie Katherine will be Mrs. Caldwell Prather and live happily ever after. Good luck, Carrie. an wea il h as a pleasant classmate. -J P' GEORGE A. VINCENT, JR. George, one of our most popular students, plans to follow his father's footsteps and enter the telephone business. George, a physics shark, should ,do well in Lamar, the school he plans to attend after ol' B. H. S. W'e hope that George does as well in later life as he has done here. EVA VIVRETTE Eva wants to be a model! With her attractive green eyes and blond hair, fine features, and a figure Venus would envy, Eva should go far in the field of her ambition. Coming in handy anywhere will be her excellent personality and her perfect poise, which we have admired so much. VIRGINIA VOTAW A cuter girl is not to be found in the halls of this institute of higher Iarnin'. Virginia intends to continue her excellent piano work in college, and no doubt some day we shall attend a concert, given by the brilliant pianist, Virginia Vo aw, that surely will make us proud to know she's one of former stu nts. ' LUKE H. WADE w inIy be lucky to get Luke. With geometry and trig- om t s hr favorite subjects, this college will definitely turn out a good ht. of ambition. JERRY DALTON WARD OJ.A his good disposition and clear thinking, we are sure he will re t 'g f the mtellrgen ra, but beneath his carefree, friendly, happy go lucky exterior is a very brilliant mind. Having served as editor of the school news and president of the safety council, J. DaIton has been quite a personality around B. H. S. fx s 1 You would n quite expect, from being around him, that Jerry is one W. B. WARD A more well-liked bov than W, B. could not be found in the senior class. His cheery smile greets everyone with whom he comes in contact. He would like to attend L. S. U. and major in business, for he plans, some day, to be o successful business man. Dubs insists that he would like to live the life of a bachelor. JUANITA WATSON In every graduating class there is a ray of sunshine, and in the class of '4l here she is-Juanita Watson, who is famous for her contagious laughter and million-dollar smile. This time next year you may have the pleasure of hearing Juanita's pleasant voice asking for number please when you telephone. LILLIAN RUTH WEAVER Soft brown eyes, light brown hair and a beautiful complexion make this young miss a favorite with all B. H. S. students. She has a friendly nature and winning personality that you just can't help liking. After graduation from high school, she plans to attend Bethany College in Bethany, Oklahoma, where she will study music. WILBUR WEAVER In school Wilbur has shown a healthy interest in all activities, but aviation taikes top place over all other subjects when he makes plans for the future. Now he is getting in shape by taking an avid interest in model airplane building, but later Wilbur will take off in the real thing and become a credit to the Army Air Corps. 4-R JIM WELLS Here's another one of Beaumont's future business men. To moke the best of everything I try is the goal of this ambitious student. Jim's an earnest fellow who finds recreation in bookkeeping and dating. We are able to say he's an expert at both. BILLY WEST What a man! Billy's going to be a petroleum engineer and then study aeronautical engineering as a pastime. IHe must like engineering.I Lamar and A. G' M. are going to get a big thrill when Billy enrolls in these colleges. We know he'll make as many new friends there as he has in B. H. S. EARL WEST Earl is quiet and likable, with a profound interest in chemistry. He is a good scholar and a swell fellow. He has decided to make Uncle Sam another good pilot for his navy. The navy will have quite an addition, be- cause Earl takes and gives his best to his favorite interests. J. K. WEST Any of you girls want to learn to fly? J. K. would be glad to teach you. As one of the outstanding pilots of the future, this tall, dark, and handsome stude will continue to make us proud of him. He's a good chemistry student and a credit to the school. LEE BLANCHETTE WHEAT, JR. 'Lee is one fellow that has really stood out at this fair institution. Always gloriously full of fun and amusing incidents to tell about, he is one of our favorite associates. On the serious side, he is going to specialize in chemical engineering. We're going to miss this very popular gentleman very uch. xg .seffdjcw IDA PEARL WHITMEYER 43 'wav Wdajda Walking encyclopedia! That's a title that suits only Ida Pearl. This brilliant student is really a whiz at everything, especially languages, and she will probably be the great writer we shall all be talking about in the near future. She has won so man rizes in essa contests that if s e Y P Y stays in B. H. S. long enough she'Il be able to support herself. JOHN NELSON WILEY, JR, Here we have that dashing lady-killer of Beaumont High, Casanova of the campus, Nelson Wiley. This handsome lad, who is headed for Lamar and Texas University after that, plans to turn his back on the fairer sex in the future and spend his time persuading juries that his client is positively innocent of all charges. VIOLET ALINE WILKINSON lf there were a class poet, Violet it would certainly be. She has shown talent for writing prose also, and she made an excellent associate editor far the School News. Her name is appropriate, for she possesses a sweet and fine disposition which has endeared her to all who know her. HEN RY PARSON WILLIS Henry has noble intentions of attending A. fr M. or Lamar next year, where he plans to learn all there is to know about aeronautical engineering. He has been well-liked by all his friends here, because he is on all-round good fellow. LORRAINE WILSON Talented as can be at drawing, we have an idea that Lorraine would have a successful career if she were to plan on a future of drawing or decorating. However she's chosen nursing, and we know that her quiet, relentless determination is going to take her just as far in such a glorious profession. MILDRED WINGATE Talking is her hobby. Do you doubt it? Just enter any of MiIdred's classes and you hear-probably see, too-her excitedly discussing with some one of her cronies anything from national affairs to her social activities. She is a whiz in history, for it is her favorite subject and gives her a good chance to exercise her vocal efficiency. KENNETH WITHERS This charming fellow has started out young toward his ambition, which is being a big-time writer and journalist, by working for the Beaumont Journal and serving on the School News. His cleverness in his studies will help boost him to the top, and his sparkling personality and friendly manners will help him even more toward being successful. LOUISE YARD Louise is favored by an unusual type of attractiveness, even though she is a blond, she has one of those perfect olive complexions of which we are so very envious. lnclined to be a little demure in a classroom, nevertheless her reports are always informative and suggest some thorough work outside the classroom. BILLY ZERNIAL Looking at Billy, he strikes one as being the strong, silent type. But, getting down to really knowing him, Billy lets down to an open, easy manner. As for pastimes, he is quite apt at making friends and holding his own on LL- -....-I, l--LL-ll ..... J KLIL-.. L- l.-...- -.... -ll ,-L-.l L- 3. -AfA- A- JAMES ZORN Judging by the indefatiguable way he has pursued basketball for the past several years, we should hesitate to forcast for James any future which does not include some type of sport. His friendly personality and cheerful disposition are so well known in these parts that it would be superfluous to go into further detail. JOHN ZUMMO Here is a fellow who has really added cheer to the halls of B. H. S. As our head cheerleader he has really done a splendid job and put all his heart into keeping up the old purple spirit. Friendly, considerate, just one perfect friend-you won't need luck to make you successful, Johnl I CITIZENSHIP AWARDS The Student Council offers an award of ten ' dollars each year to the boy or girl who is chosen by the students of Beaumont High School. This contest is not one of popularity, A for it is the conscientious desire of the classes V to recognize their outstanding citizen. I Their vote has given Jack Orrick this much , deserved honor. During his entire high school career he has been of outstanding value to the l l school. His modesty and unassuming Willing- ness to undertake any and all burdens that may be thrust upon him have endeared him to the students of the entire school. His success proves that students of a high school are well able to judge the worth of their associates. NORA ANN CARROLL JACK ORRICK About the greatest tribute that can be paid to a student in our democratic nation is to be recognized as an outstanding citizen. To set up a good example of citizenship, each year the American Legion requests the faculty to choose a boy and a girl who have set an excellent example for their classmates. By their Whole- hearted participation in many student activities and their outstanding success, Jack Crrick and Nora Ann Carroll have won the two bronze citizenship medals. No two persons could have been chosen who better illustrate the high ideals of this award. SENIOR HONOR STUDENTS The seniors who have the enviable record of attaining the honor roll for their entire high school career, maintaining an average of 90 or more for three years work, have certainly not wasted their high school days. All are well rounded students, being considered good fel- lows by their classmates and excellent workers by their teachers. They have taken an active part in numerous extra-curricular activities. Scholarships are awarded to the highest ranking senior boy and the highest ranking senior girlg these students are John Ivers and Jean Justice. Running close behind Jean justice in the race for the highest ranking senior girl are Ida Pearl Whitmeyer and Betty Adkisson.

JOHN IVERS l l l ' l l i The school year of 1940-1941 has surely been an outstanding one for the Junior Class. This seems to be true about every Junior Class. You know, the choice time of one's life is his junior year in High School. He can't be called a Soph any more, and he has his Senior year to look forward to. Let's always be Juniors! Two of the most memorable events of the year were June Madf' the Junior play, and the Junior Stunt, The Perfect Assembly. PAT BLAIR The Juniors heartily backed every school pro- Presidenf ject-may it never be said that their spirit was pale lavender . Indeed, it was royal purple all year. The officers have successfully fulfilled their duties and challenged others to do likewise. Followed by their classmates, they have excelled in every field - athletic, scholarship, and social activities. They think the year has been great, and it will be remembered pleasantly in years to come. But right now they are looking forward, not backward, to becoming seniors!

Fresh from a little brook Cthough it didn't seem little when we were lordly seniors at Dowling and Crockettj, we leaped the whirlpools of failure there and soon found ourselves in the swift- moving stream of dear old Beaumont YHigh. Now our accomplishments have not been many yet - for we are young - very young. However, we ho e ou have noticed how obedient we are, and P Y P'eSide ' how loyal too! We swam to football games, track meets, school c ventions, pep rallies and in squeaky fishy oices, praised all heroes of court, diamond, track, and gridiron.

Beaumont kicked to Oranges 55 yard line where they failed to move in 5 downs. Their fourth down kick was blocked and recovered hy the Purples on the I0 yard stripe. Sparks went around end for the touchdown. and then added the point through the center. Orange com- pleted a 77 yard drive for a touchdown during the last minutes of the Hrst period. Another fumble during the second quarter caused Orange to give up 7 more points. Richardson recovered on the 9, and I-lavercroft went to the l, from where Sparks made the score. He also added the extra point. Mixing passing and running, Beaumont moved 70 yards for their third touchdown, scored by Havercroft. Beaumont struck again with Havercroft carrying all the way over from the 25 yard line. Good blocking put the play over. The try for point failed. A pass to Richardson was good to the 2, and Sparks went over for the last score. Two completed passes in the closing minutes of play gave Orange its last 7 points. 73 JAMES lVERS Co-Captain CONROE vs BEAUMONT Out of ten games played, six won, three lost, and one tied, Beaumont High com- pleted a very successful gridiron season. The last six games, which were played with teams in our district, were the most important in our schedule. District play opened with Conroe High School at Con- roe. Beaumont with two lightning offensive thrusts, one in the early stages of the first period, and one during the first of the sec- ond period, ran up a 15 to 0 lead at the half. The first touchdown drive was set up when Taweel recovered a Conroe fumble on their 27-yard line. After a first down by Sparks, Morton went over on an end run, dragging two Conroe tacklers with him. Con- roe threatened once during the first half when Benardino, Conroe fullback, got away for a 56 yard jaunt to the Beaumont 19. He was brought down by Danna. Beaumont scored again in the third quarter as Sparks, Danna and Havercroft moved the ball to the 5 from where Havercroft made the score. BEAUMONT vs SOUTH PARK Battling to a 6 to 6 tie, the South Park Greenies and Beaumont High Royal Purples ended their twenty-third year of rivalry. Both teams played very close and cautious football which accounts for the small score for both teams. After a rather tight first quarter, the Royal Purples had the ball on the South Park 5-yard line, plunges by Sparks, Danna, and Havercroft behind good blocking put the ball at the scoring position. A pass to Morton was good for the score. The try for the point was missed. Richardson and Johnson, Purple ends. did considerable damage to the Greenie backfield by their rushing. A fumble by Beaumont gave the ball to South Park and they ran and passed to the Purple 4-yard line. Bubba Ray, South Park fullback, carried around end for the touch- down on the third down. Ray tried to make the extra point through the middle, but failed. The game ended with the ball in South Park's hands on BHS's 35. BEAUMONT vs GOOSE CREEK Beaumont went to Goose Creek on a special train to see the Royal Purple win their second district game 15-0. Gordon Morton scored the first 6 points of the game with a beautiful 80-yard end sweeping run. With very good blocking Morton was able to get clear, and he out ran the entire Gander eleven. Havercroft converted the point. The half sea-sawed back and forth without further scoring. Beaumont got started twice, but a fumble and penalty spoiled both chances for a score. A quick kick early in the second half set the Ganders back on their heels, and Beau- mont went 42 yards for the second score. A fourth down pass to Richardson who lateraled to Sparks was the scoring play. TOP TO BOTTOM: Turner of South Park plunges over center, inches short of the goal line.

The try for the extra point was short. Beaumont moved to Goose Creek's 8-yard line during the last quarter. A last down pass to Langdon was incomplete. A sterling performance was turned in by Sparks and Havercroft, who carried the ball on every play but 7 during their 55 minutes of play. BEAUMONT vs GALVESTON In a pouring rain the Beaumont Royal Purple defeated the Golden Tornadoes of Galveston, 26 to 6. After an exchange of punts Havercroft and Sparks moved the ball to the Galveston 24. Danna made another first down. Haver- croft went to the one foot line and Sparks went over. Havercroft made the point. The second quarter found the Royal Purple again deep in the Galveston territory. The ball on the 10-yard line, Beaumont went over in four plays. Again Beaumont scored as Sparks intercepted a pass and ran it 50 yards to the l yard line. Sparks made the remaining yard on the next play. Galveston scored from the S just as the half ended. The second half was played in a sea of mud. Morton lost 13 yards on an end run as he slipped in the mud. A pass to Rich- ardson and a lateral to Sparks put the ball on the 10. Another pass to Morton made the score. Ivers kicked to the Tors' 50 as the game ended. JACKETS WIN CROWN FROM PURPLES, l3-0 Coming back strongly in the third quarter to beat a Purple team which had played winning football throughout the first half, the Port Arthur Yellow jackets defeated the Beaumont High School Royal Purples, 13-0, before a crowd of over 10,000 spectators Thanksgiving day. It was a hard-fought game all the way, with most of the action taking place around the 50-yard stripe. The entire first half was a breathtaking spectacle of two evenly matched elevensg but in the early part of the third quarter, the Jackets recovered a Purple fumble, and it was all that was necessary to give them the chance to score the first touchdown. Again in the fourth quarter, a Purple fum- ble, recovered by the Port Arthurians, gave them another scoring opportunityg and a 15-yard holding penalty brought the ball to the Purple's 1-yard line where it was easily made another touchdown. The extra point was good. TOP TO BOTTOM lleft to rightl: Sparks, injured, leaves the South Park game. Hall of Port Arthur, before he is tackled by Sparks of Beaumont. The freshman squad.

Mr. Myron Guither, band director, appointed Jack Osborn as Top- Sergeant to take over in certain numbers. The schedule for this year has been full, including appearances here in Beaumont and numerous out-of-town trips at various times. They have put on several assembly programs, Sousa being an outstanding one. The Band not only plays good music, but it shows what band organization can do. The semi-military formations add a great deal to the high spots at the half of every football game. FIRST B. H. S.

Q Loyalty to the high ideals of sports as shown by the various athletic organizations of Beaumont High was kept alive throughout the year by the spontaneous enthusiasm of head cheerleader John Zummo and his five energetic assistants. Unex- celled vivacity and unparalleled interest in main- taining a high degree of interest in athletic activi- ties throughout the year have been motivating impulses of these cheerleaders. John Zummo, who has completed his second year as head cheerleader, has at all times inspired in those who assisted him a desire to emulate his excellent example-that example which has stood for eighteen months before the students of B. H. S. as a fine representation of school patriotism. No less honor is due the five students who this year aided John in carrying out his program. We applaud their Willingnessg we acknowledge their spirit, typical of the tradition of cheerleaders in B. H. S.

Under the capable leadership of Captain Wilma Hamm they took part in four down-town parades, seven field parades and trips to Galveston and Goose Creek. Bad Weather on both trips did not dampen the spirits of these Guardsg they were 100 per cent cheering for the Purples. The Guards have been most unselfish in their Work this year. They have spent many hours in perfecting their snappy drills which were almost perfect according to their in- structors, Misses Winnifred Turner and Lois Blanchette, and, quoting from these instruc- tors, they are the finest group of girls We've ever had-they've really got that Purple Spirit. w?Hm This year the guard pace was stepped up from 180 to 215 steps per minute. 5 f Wm' MN ,,-'N .- r f ,,.., I,- Dempsey.

In the past four years Beaumont has turned out an excellent track team. Each year the team has improved under the watch- ful eye of Coach Moody Pickett. This year's squad entered five meets. They placed sec- ond in Liberty, third in the Purple Relays, fifth in Conroe, fourth in Houston, and second in the district meet. The purple team this year was a well-bal- anced unit but for the lack of distance men. Hard luck in various ways robbed the team of any individual stars. High scoring on the purple squad was done by Douglas McManus. Beaumont High School Stadium was the scene of two of the five meets entered this year, the Royal Purple Relays and the dis- trict meet. Beaumont did well in both of these meets, but were overpowered by larger and stronger teams. Port Arthur won the district meet this year with a record-break- ing 67 points. This was their tenth straight victory.

Although a golf team was organized, it did not enter any tournaments as a whole unit. Garth, however, won the Lamar invi- tation golf tournament held every year for high school golfers. Red Sheppard, B. H. S. district tennis champion, won the boys' singles championship in the Lamar tourna- ment. Intra-school track champion was physical education period III, and C. Neff was individual high scorer. Intra murals in school give the boys who are unable to make school varsity teams a chance for active competition among them- selves, a chance to keep out-of-doors and stay healthy is the main objective of this program, and it has been very successful. 1.

This will be true because of the appetizing and nourshing food pre- pared daily in the cafeteria by the five ladies whose pictures appear on this page. Outstanding in the school year of 1940-4l was their assistance in serving over l600 students and faculty members at the Stu- dent Life Conference banquet. They apparently never grow weary of their appointed task. STAGE TECHNICIANS Behind the scenes of every entertainment pre- sented in the auditorium of Beaumont High School are these faithful and dependable workmen. Builders of sets, carpenters, electricians, and property men, they may well do justice to the tradition of the American theater that the show must go on. Truly those who serve behind the curtain, behind the foot- lights, removed from the applause of the audience, deserve recognition for their ceaseless endeavor.

Their tasks are many, ranging from pre- paring records to running errands. Without reward they serve, in the true spirit of American idealism. striving to give where they may not hope to receive. In these two offices there have been trained many future executives and secretaries, for those who learn wisely to follow directions today will, in the future. give directions. An office worker must have intelli- gence, perseverance, dependability, initiative, and persistence, all these qualities are taught by work and by example in the offices of Miss Claire and Mr. Ferguson.

Marie Brooks was that girl, and she made an excellent editor. She was assisted by Nora Ann Carroll and Jean justice, associate editors. These three, together with the Business Man- ager, Betty Jean McChesney, and her two assistants, Edwin Galewsky and Hugh Gardenier, comprised the ex- ecutive staff of this 1941 Pine Burr. The staff has sought to produce for the students of B. H. S. a yearbook which will be a permanent record of their high school days of '40-'41. It has endeavored to record the activities of all school organizations, the more important assembly programs, athletic activities, and some casual campus life. JEAN JUSTICE Associate Editor 94 Q Hlllll Some juniors and sophomores were included on a staff which consisted mostly of seniors. Unlike the executives of last yearis business staff, this year's were not chosen by an ad selling contest, but, like those of the editorial staff, were chosen at the end of last year. Also headed by a girl, the staff worked diligently at the tasks of sell- ing ads and of selling books. Betty ,lean McChesney was Business Man- ager, while Edwin Galewsky acted as Assistant Business Manager, and Hugh Gardenier, as Circulation Manager. Books were sold on the installment plan as they were last year. Selling of books was carried out on a competitive basis, with salesmen on the circulation staff striving to sell at least twenty-Hve books. All who suc- ceeded in selling twenty-live or more were presented with a Pine Burr. MISS LORENE DAVID Art Advisor W.

It was organized in '39-,40 by a group of students from the history, civics, and economics classes of Beaumont High School. In addition to the fourteen charter members, fourteen students have joined, making the total membership twenty-eight. Although this organization is young, it has been instrumental in promoting the interest in and study of Texas history in Beaumont. It was a result of the work of this chapter that the semester course in Texas history was added to the curriculum of BHS this year. Several books, which it is hoped will form the nucleus of a library of Texas history, have been presented to the chap- ter and are now in the school library. The chapter meets monthly with usually some historian as guest speaker. It con- tributes articles to the monthly organ of the Association, the junior Historianng and sends delegates to the Associationis an- nual convention in Austin.

H. S. publish bi-weekly the Beau- mont High School News. This year passed with the news still retaining its high standards of fairness and accuracy. Led by Miss Marjory Keohane, advisor, and Jerry Ward, ed i tor, the first semester staff plunged into the thrilling work of editing and publishing a paper soon after the beginning of school. This staff carried on remarkably well through the memorable drawing of draft num- bers, the 1940 football season, the crowning of Miss Royal Purple, and the inauguration of the first third-term president of the United States. Nllll The second semester B. H. S. news staff sur- vived the Student Life Conference, the Stunt Programs, Valentine's Day, basketball and track, Easter, and graduation. With Eleanor Davis as editor, the staff put out eight fine issues, and in the interim learned a little about high school journalism. In addition to giving the students journalistic training, the School News gives those boys who take printing practical experience in the com- position of the printed page. Capably directed by Mr. KI. S. Drew, printing instructor, who resigned at the end of the third quarter to be succeeded by Mr. Raleigh Usry, formerly of N. T. S. T.C., Denton, Texas, these boys ac- quire a definite degree of proficiency in the printing trade.

Students of traffic safety, a subject which should be in the minds of all people constantly, they do their part to awaken the entire school to the need for caution and care in driving. Their sponsor, Mr. W. R. Renfro, is to be commended for his exemplary leadership of this group, which does its best that We may say together, Truly this a safe America.

The mem- bers of the Voice of Youth, however, have the opportunity to debate upon such subjects. And they have done so with such ardor and intelligence that they have been called upon many times by civic organizations and local clubs to present programs. The members of this group are taken from the cream of the history classes, and this year they have been guided splendidly by their sponsor, Mrs. Leonie Weyand. Opening every meeting with a patriotic song is a new feature which was inaugurated this year and has proved very popular.

The two drama classes, The Sock and Buskin Club, and The Thespians, produced 24 plays during the first semester. When studying types of plays, Bread was produced as an example of a social problem play. Hortense Morris and Buddy English as Martha and john Curtis, enduring the hardships of life, gained the sympathy of their audience with their splendid portrayals, Dorothy Dew as Grandma, and Dorothy Noble as the blind Stella, lent a certain cheerfulness to the situation. Nou' That Aprilk Here was another play given in the intimate theater style. The play was particularly adapted to high school production in that it portrayed some of our teen-age emotions and problems. Yes Means No, a farce by Howard Emmett Rogers. Young Teddy Lawson, played by Ben Allen, starts to work in his father's office. This easy-going, attractive youth, who is engaged to pretty Edith Merrill, played by Dorothy Dew, has not learned to say UNO. The father, john Zummo, on the other hand, is a hard-boiled fellow who insists that his son shall learn the methods of the old school and promises 3. ANGELS DON'T MARRY - Mary Jo Swan, Bruce Clem- mons, Mandy Lou King, Robert Presslar. 4. YES MEANS NO - Wallace Shook, John Zummo, Dorothy Dew, Ben Allen, Mary Margaret McGuire, that if the young man takes charge of the oflice while he is out to lunch, he will give him S100 for every time he says No -but if he says Yes, even once, he forfeits everything. With Mary Margaret McGuire, a steely-eyed office assistant to keep tabs on him, the boy lightheartedly begins his career as a hard-boiled business man. However, on the arrival of Edith, Teddy is in a fit. A dozen times he is on the point of losing the coveted prize which will take them on their honeymoon, and only at the last instant is the situation saved. Wallace Shook, as T. j. Morgan, a broker, adds to the play by his splendid characterization. A Twist of The Wfrisl, a comedy about the simple and complicated life of two girls. Virginia, a dissatisfied girl with a twisted wrist was played by Gail Payne, and Ethel, her youngest sister was played by Ruth johnson. The drama students regret that these plays could not be produced in assembly, but due to their being royalty plays, they had to confine the plays to the work shop. Good work was done, and we regret that you did not get to see your favorite Thespian in the various roles. We are hoping to show you some good plays next year. , Q A i -. hgh JUNIOR CLASS PLAY On February 27, the Junior Class presented their play, june Mad, directed by Miss Clara Mae Glenn.

Lee McManus, brought for a visit his cosmopolite college chum, played by Tyrrell Garth.

H. S. cafeteria that night. The Conference closed with the annual Sweet- hearts' Valentine Ball, which had as guests the delegates to the con- vention. The splendid success of this Conference was large- ly due to the efforts of our student body presi- dent, John Ivers, and Mrs. Ii. A. Savage, S t u d e n t Council advisor. risifw ri ,r-, Ns ,W W.

Q 1 x x v b xx - f X 4 H2335 SOPHOMORE STU NT The Sophomore Stunt was acclaimed a great success by a delighted audience of students and visitors. The sopho- more frolic was a humorous dramatization of the news- paper, ably directed by Miss Anna Marie duPerier. Each of the nine acts cleverly depicted the main sections of a newspaper. Scene two, the Editorial, which honored the 105th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo, was the only serious act of the program. The remaining scenes were humorous skits characteriz- ing the remaining parts of a newspaper. Headlines were effectively exposed by Edwin Terry as the headline hunter in Scene I. Jessie James , with James johnson portraying Jessie, was an amusing skit previewed for Theater News. The club reporter was effectively demonstrated by Gordon Wiley, cub, and Bobby Browne, editor. An unusual fight between The Weazel Frank Whittington, and Pine Pa- luka, Bill Cornish, illustrated the Sports Page. Fashion news displayed the more modern styles of hats which were actually small vegetable gardens. The Want-Ad section was effectively portrayed by Betty Jo Laurent as the Classified Ad Girl. Concluding the stunt was music furnished by Louis Gordon and his band of sophomores. This year the sophomores used a new plan which proved very successful in which each home room contributed one scene or collaborated with another home room to pro- duce an act for the stunt. JUNIOR STUNT Playing to a full house of certainly not un-enthusiastic folk who expressed their approval in a variety of ways, the cast of The Perfect Assembly, under the very able direction of Miss Lois Cunningham, are to be congratulated on their excellent presentation. The stunt concerned the perfect assembly program which Darling Dean iRuth Whitlockl, a model and con- siderate high school student, presented to Mr. Okey Doakes tDavid Switzerb, principal of the school. The various skits given throughout the program were parts of the perfect assembly in which romance, dance, music, drama, tears, mistakes, humor, and color were included. The idea was to convince Mr. Okey Doakes that swing and the other things that appeal to the younger generation were not so bad after all. The perfect assembly evidently served its purpose because, at the end, with four of the high school students, he really got in the groove. Some of the funniest spots were: The modern love scene of Pete Sublett and Peggy Brown, the black face dance of Dorothy Galloway and Willian Holland, and the song of Marcene McDonald, nonsense debate of Pat Blair and john Tower, mistakes of Carroll Hunter, humor of joe Singleton. Pat Thompson and the sound effects in The Duchess Bounces In, and the scandal revealed by Evelyn Clayborne as Walterine Winchellene. Hailed as a success, the junior Class may well be proud of their truly perfect assembly. Don't you think so? SENIOR STUNT The senior class presented An Evening in Radio Cityi' as their annual frolic which completed the three-class stunt series. The senior sensation will long be remembered as one of the most entertaining comedies of the year, with never a dull moment. Radio Station N-U-T-Z, with john Ivers as the an- nouncer, and the Cornie Broadcasting Company, with jack Orrick as the announcer, sponsored the entertainment, and the program progressed amid a continuous roar of laughter. The feature attraction of the stunt was Red Herring and his Hot Shots, who really set the audience to swayin'. The climax of the show was the iitterbug contest, won by Betsy Day Fullen and Autry Greer sponsored by Red Other highlights of the stunt were There,ll Be Some Changes Made, sung by a chorus of girlsg Ewell Gooch getting his palm red , by jackie Anseling and Ernest Cones' draft number being called. The latest Review of Everyone Else's Business, by Blubber Blabbermouth, alias Virginia Pivoto, featured the newest romances, latest break- ups, and engagements. The Mad Search for Aunt Mary was a dramatic skit. Jo Ellen Lewis danced Valse Ballet, accompanied by Mrs. Billie Libby from the Sproule School of Dancing. A hair-raising western meller-drammer starring James Braud, provided plenty of action for the stunt. 'II7 HIHHY Friday, Feb. 21: Special B. H. S. stationery? offered students.
