At ten o'clock that morning on a rise known as Spindletop just south of Beau- mont, Captain Anthony F. Lucas brought in the nationls first oil gusher. With it the modern oil industry came into existence and soon after the gas industry. Oil companies were organized rapidly. Official records show that nearly 600 were formed in those early days. Some sold out. others failed and some were frauds. but from among the companies formed came the Texas Company. Gulf Oil Corporation and Magnolia Petroleum Company. ln a few short years the boom was here to stay. For the first time in history a great source of fuel was available. lt was close to ocean transportation. This com- bination made a new industrial revolution possible. There is little wonder why Beau- mont calls itself the city 'fWhere Oil Be- Oil Wells Blending with Beaumont's downtown skyline where the Neches River curves lazily toward the Gulf of Mexico some 42 miles distant is Bethle- hemls bustling shipyard pictured at right where some 2,000 people from the city and surrounding area earn a living. This is where off-shore drilling for oil was pioneered and where strange-looking craft still rise to towering heights along the building ways before the tremendous resources of oil in the Gulf can be tapped. Bethlehemls Beaumont shipyard is more than just a shipyard. lt is a steel fabrication plant where steel beams and trusses for highway bridges and buildings are put togetherg where huge refinery pressure vessels and towers are built: where weary ships of the nation's maritime fleet come in for remodeling and repairsg where new technical advances are made every day in what is still a comparatively new industry-off-shore drill- 1ng. came an lndustryfl Community, mont, and Industry Grows ,Lf ..,f - in 1 5 1 ,.

Built in 1903, the plant today employs more than 3,000 people-representing a wide range of crafts and professions that include machin- ists, carpenters, painters, engineers, clerks, sailors, gardeners and a photographer. lts payroll is responsible for circulating more than a million dollars a month through the Beaumont Community. Operating day and night, the refinery produces a multitude of products to help meet the world's petroleum needs. The tall structures in the background. abme, are 25-story Thermo- for 'iCal Crackers, employed primarily in the manufacturing of gasoline and heating fuels. The first such unit was built in this plant in 1943.

Its situation is said to be one of the most delightful in Texas and it has already commenced im- proving at a rapid rate. It is spoken of as a town which promises to be one of considerable importance. It has received the name of Beaumont, which, from the de- scription of the place, strikes our fancy as very ap- propriatef' Telegraph and Texas Register, San Felipe de Austin, Monday, October 26, 1835. 5-f,g,w HELEN CULLEY SHIRLEY WINGATE Co-Editor Co-Editor FOREWORD This is our town, Beaumont, a city of industries, commerce, natural resources, trade and education. This inland city built on the Neches River is a city of opportunities for those who are willing to work. Our school is our main source of preparation for these opportunities. We are proud of our school. Long after we have left these halls of BHS to take our place in the community, we will remember the puzzled faces of the sophomores on the first day of school, that confused look in Geometry, the pride the students feel as they see the Purple B when they sing 'Sliver Loyal, and the determined look of the fullback as he receives the kick-off. All these and many more make up the price- less memories of our high school years. This is our School . . .

They are re- sponsible for the formation and execution of policies for the Beau- mont lndependent School District. Business Education Day has been an annual educational event for the past five years. Under the sponsor- ship of the Chamber of Commerce our administrators and faculty are invited to visit local industries and businesses. This practice encour- ages mutual co-operation and un- derstanding between the school and the community. Shown at the con- clusion of a tour through Gulf State Utilities are Miss Nathalie Dinan and Mrs. Janet Bishop as they voice their appreciation to Mr. E. L. Robinson, Vice President of Gulf States.

But no mat- ter where life leads us, always we will cherish our classmates of BHS.

I n Memoriam NANCY SHARON KAY HAMIC MABRY J W fBILLl GERNAND The persons whom we are honoring here are ones we all learned to love and admire. They were our classmates last year, but they are now making a new home in a world of which we on earth know not. They are Nancy Hamic, Sharon Kay Mabry, and J. W. fBilll Gernand. Although they are no longer with us, their laughter seems still to echo in the halls. They had a cheery, friendly hello for everyone that they met, and just to know them was to want to do good. They were gay, and yet sincere: aggressive, but not overbearingg proud, but not vain. Their faith and trust in the Lord was no secret to anyone, they were completely happy doing whatever He willed them to dog their lives were dedicated to His work. This is why we know today that we must not mourn their deaths. We must understand that somehow. somewhere. they are still the happy Nancy, Sharon, and Bill whose lives were not lived for just themselves, but lived for others. B. H. S.

These students have distin- guished themselves outside the classroom as well as in. The per- sonalities of Beaumont High might be held in esteem for many rea- sons: perhaps through their willing participation in special school func- tions, by active leadership and friendly co-operation, or with out- standing scholastic achievement. Homecoming is a special activity at our school, featuring present and past personalities of BHS. The Homecoming court pictured at left includes: Virginia Lee, Diane Bane, and Sandra Shane, junior duch- essesg Barbara Perkins and Ann Burleson, senior princesses, and Linda Shelley, Eleanor Mays, and Kay Kennedy, sophomore duch- esses. These girls were selected on the basis of their popularity, poise, and personality. Achievement Toward Which the Students Strive Senior Class Svlvrts WM fn. IN XX UIJONI lx XhOL MDI IH!

They are responsible for pep, sportsmanship, and fun by having well-planned pep rallies, assisting with bus trips to out-of-town games, and leading the cheers for our teams at all games. Much of the credit for a good representation of our student body at all out-of-town games goes to their sponsor, Miss Thelma Hughes, who plans and chaperones these trips. The cheerleaders pictured above in front of the stadium are Sandra Shane, Neal Banta, Betty Rae Withers, and Ann Burleson, who are standing on Rex Corley, and Harvey Setliff. Betty Rae Withers is head cheerleader. X all IRI ,A i,, 3 ug 5,1 .2 3 6 ' i S 4.0 W1-'sul n B.H.S. Athletics Ath letics A large part of our school life centers around sports. Athletics broadens our mental outlook by teaching us to be leaders and fol- lowers, to be cheerful losers as well as winners, and to get along with one another. Football in the au- tumn, basketball during the winter, and tennis, track, and golf in the spring offer our students a wide selection of sports in which to par- ticipate throughout the year, as spectators or as players. Dr. J. R. Venza is shown present- ing the Key to the City to coach Dick Sheffield as the championship team looks on with pride. This year our sportsmanship was brought to a new high as the Royal Purples tied for the district championship for the first time in twenty-two years. This has been a very success- ful year for BHS athletes. Forty Purple Lettermen Finish Seaso 3, F5 B!
