To the Seniors of 1950: After graduating from the ranks of freshman, sophomore, and junior you have at last attained that coveted height of Sen- iorhood, just as the men of old passed through various stages to become knights. May you be as deserving and prepared for life as they were for the tasks of Knight- hood. May you gain from your glancing back into these past days an inspiration which will help you to meet the challenges of the present age and incite in you the ambition to aim for high and noble goals and ac- complishments for the future. Sincerely, D. E. Bailey 4 rincipal 1 Qsststant iBrin:ipaI W .e To the Class of 1950: To know the truth and love the right was an ideal in the days of Chi- valry. That ideal is as valid and chal- lenging today as it was when knights sought the Holy Grail while their la- dies waited in ivory towers. It is my sincere wish that your days of work and play in Beaumont High School may help you find the success and happiness you seek in life, and that in the seeking, truth and right may be your armor. Cordially, A. P. Griffin

buperintenhent The staff and others responsible for the 1949-50 Pine Burr are to be compliment- ed for the manner in which they have been able to depict the many objectives which have contributed to the growth and devel- opment of the students during their high school career. Much of the individuality of King Ar- thur is particularly appropriate to the needs of the thinking of Americans at present. Surely the thesis selected herein is indicative of your increasing recognition of individual dignity, creativeness, and sense of belonging. May the future of each pupil be so af' fected by the public school curriculum that 21 life with maximum contributions to self and society will be realized. Cordially, Dr. R. I-. Vlfilliams To the Class ol' 1950, my sincere con- gratulations and all good wishes for your happiness and success. Many cen' turies have rolled by since the days when knighthood was in flower, and yet the characteristics of lcnighthood, Purity, Truth, Loyalty, a Goal-and the determination to reach it--and the attributes we admire in others and strive to attain in ourselves.
