We respectfully submit this volume to the present students of Beaver High School in the hope that some day it may aid them to recall that period of their lives when there was little heart for ought but living.

Superintendent of Schools lVluskingum College University of Pittsburgh The theme of your annual, The March of Time, is not only appropriate, but carries with it a challenge to every member of the Class of 1938. As time marches on and you reflect and ponder on the high purposes and noble ideals of these, your closing school days in Beaver l-ligh School, may you rededicate and reconsecrate your life to continue to strive toward the accomplishment of your most cherished ambitions. Probably your greatest battle, as you leave high school, will be to prevent yourselves from drifting with the tide-going the path of least resistance-the easy way. If you have learned while you have been in high school that time waits for no man and that drifting is a downstream direction, your brief stay here has been highly Worth while and the public investment in you has been justified. So, as Htime marches on, my best Wishes go with you for success and happiness. G. A. McCORMICK. ISABELLA KENAH Secretary to Superintendent lrving College l10l MARY I. MQKINLEY, Ph.B. High School Principal Grove City College Columbia University l wonder whether the members of the class of 1938 ever stop to think of the ultimate objective of education. I know that you will agree with me that there is an ultimate objective in this whole process of public education. ln this connection we like to stress character and personality. The passing of school subjects, of obtaining credits, the granting of a diploma, these are all means to an end. The end is to turn out of the school the kind of young people who will not only be successful and happy, but who will be of positive good to the world, young people who are socially adapted, young people who have consideration for others, young people who are thinking of their fellow-man. lf you have developed these qualities-Reliability, Cooperation, Honesty, Consideration for Qthers, and Loyalty-and if you have made these qualities a part of your pattern of conduct, then the ultimate objective of education has been attained. May it be the good fortune of every member of this class to enjoy a large measure of success in future work. MARY I. McKINLEY.

I28l Appreciation We, the MClass of '38, would like to stop at this point in the book and publicly express our sincere gratitude to Mrs. Cummins and Mr. Smith. They have led us through to victory, They have worked hard and faithfully. When 'iBirch, the Magician, was announced, they stepped forward and organized our class into a fighting machine that Hlled the auditorium in the afternoon and in the evening, When the organ was suggested, they again came to the front of the ranks and took command, Once again, they led us to victory. And so, thank you, Mrs. Cummins and Mr. Smith, from the UClass of '38. l2l l30l Our High School Life We started out as Freshmen, ln the year of thirty-four. We found a new and happy life lnside the high school door. We had to meet the teachers, For a teacher is a friend, lf you are wise, you'll treat them nice, You'll profit in the end. The next year we were Sophomores. And full-fledged classmen then. We did our work and had some fun, For we were grown-up men. Of course, we met the ladies, We really liked them all. We loved or wooed them on the sly, When walking through the hall. Soon we were third-year students, And Iunior was our name. We rode the heights of glory, To uphold Beaver's fame. Our Iunior year just flew along, We sighed when it was through. We stepped into the Seniors' seats. When they bid us adieu. And now that we are Seniors. Our school days nearly through, We'll leave our Alma Mater, To begin our life anew. l'lere's luck to next year's Seniors, You'll need an awful lot, Be kind to every teacher, fThey sure can make it hotl. But now we're leaving Beaver High, We really have to go. We'll be a big success in life With everything we know. Tom Yurasich and Archie Taylor, 38. Senior Class History Time Marches On and we, the class of '38, find ourselves reminiscing those grand and glorious past four years of work and play in Beaver High. It seems but yesterday that we entered High School in '34 as Freshmen, walking about in amazement in this much-looked-upon building. The next year, as Sophomores, Mr. Baker became our leader, and our class sponsored the annual Christmas Football Dance, a very colorful and exciting event. We marched further. This time into our junior year with its many important events. Our first project was something entirely new, a Cabaret Dance, which was greatly enjoyed by all. A committee selected our rings, which are a source of pride to all of us. Next came the Easter Egg sale, which proved a success. The proceeds were used for the Prom, which is anxiously looked for by all classes of the high school. The decorations resembled those of an elaborate ballroom. Now we have marched to the height which all students anticipate, the senior year. This year we have been very busy with activities, as Seniors usually are. Qur first event was Birch, the Magician, which proved a financial success as well as grand entertainment. A fine year book was edited under an excellent Shingas staff, with joe McCaw as Editor-in-Chief and with the guidance of Miss Lloyd and Mr. Reber. The Senior Dance and Senior Play ended our projects, and so onward to graduation. Thus we march on to new times, never forgetting to look back on those wellaspent days in B. H. S.

VIDI: We saw our surroundings become more familiar. In our Freshman year and in the years to follow, we were Well represented in all athletics. As Sophomores, we put on a most successful Football Dance, elected able officers, and were well on the way to our goal, VICI: We conquered in our Iunior year, for under the help of our president, Paul Schaughency, and the other class officers and sponsors, we were able to manage successfully all the projects put before us. With the help of our ring committee we selected a beautiful class ring. Under the leadership of other committees we completed a magazine sale, a Christmas wreath sale, an Easter Egg sale, and we are now making plans for the last of our projects before the big event of the year-the Prom. We hope to make this Prom the biggest and best-one that will be remembered through all the years of dear old Beaver High. MARGARET HACKETT, '39. CLASS OFFICERS President - - P.

S. with great eagerness and interest. We found it hard breaking the ice and fell into troubled waters during those first awful weeks, but we struggled along, With determination we overcame these obstacles and we were finally recognized by the upperclassmen, We ended our year with a BANG! by holding a successful party for our class. Upon re-entering this fall, we were on our marks and ready to go. We were used to the routine and had many friends.

With the first year drawing to a close, it is evident that we have achieved an enviable record. Proud are we of the boys who ably represented us on the football and basketball squads. This early training should prove a definite aid to our future victories. Also we have many girls who look forward to outstanding success in music and dramatics. We are represented only on the school paper staff. Our sponsors are Miss Elizabeth McKinley and Mr. Paterick. The Freshman class is indebted to the Sophomores for the friendly manner in which they received us and sponsored a get-together dance. We shall do our best to continue the splendid school spirit, characteristic of the classes before us.

To the staff falls the work of producing a book that will be superior to those that have gone before. During their four-year stay at Beaver High the Class of '38 has witnessed much advancement in the organization and physical makeup of our school. lt was this forward movement that suggested the theme for our annual, The March of Time. With this theme in mind we, the staff, have published this Shingas in the hope that it will take its place among the outstanding volumes of previous years. Editor-in-Chief ....... ........

One of the projects set up was the system of Hall Patrols, which endeavored to better our complex hall situations, As is the custom, the Senate is composed of five Seniors, four Iuniors, three Sophomores, and the presidents of each of these classes. Two Freshmen repre- sentatives were elected at the beginning of the second semester. The members of the Student Senate are as follows: SENIORS: Homer Portman, President of the Student Senateg lean Patterson, Secretary: Betty Bradford, William Baker, lohn Roth and Lloyd Shenefelt. IUNIORS: Richard Hopkins, vice Presidentg lane Arnold, Mary Burick, lean McCaw and Paul Schaughency. SOPHOMORES: Robert Andrews, Martha Brown, Mary Lou Mclffall and Robert Stout. LLOYD SHENEFELT, '38, I 48 1 National Honor Society The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was chartered in Beaver High School March 6, 1937. Membership in this society is based on Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. To be eligible for election into this chapter one must be in the upper third of his class. Final selection is made by faculty and student votes under the direction of the Honor Society Council. Every Senior should strive to become a member of this society, as it is one of the most widely known High School organizations. A meeting was held on Ianuary 22 by the members chosen from our class during our Iunior year. Officers elected were: President ---- Ioseph McCaw Vice President ---- Lloyd Meyer Secretary - - - Alberta Todd Treasurer - - - - Beatrice Cain Shirley Kuntz Lloyd Shenefelt On February 4 the following new members from the Senior Class were announced to the student body and presented with certificates signed by Mr. McCormick, the sponsor of the society, and by Miss lVlcKinley, the principal of the high school: William Baker Horner Portman William Donaldson Paul Rex Iosephine King Warren Robinson Patricia Olmstead Arno Thompson lean Patterson Owen Wagner ' SHIRLEY KUNTZ, '38, l 49 l Girls' Athletic Association President ---- Alberta Todd Vice President - - Beatrice Cain Secretary - - Betty Glass Treasurer - - - Sarah K, Wilson The Girls' Athletic Association started this year with lots of falls. Don't misunderstand, the first event of the year 1937-38 was a skating party at Morado. It vvasn't the girls who did all of the falling, for the boys did their share, too. On December 23, 1937, the girls held a Christmas party in the gym. However, the main event for the year took place lanuary 20, 1938, when the girls of Beaver High School held an Indoor Track Meet for the girls of the other high schools of the county. During the remainder of the school year, the girls plan to have another skating party, followed by a picnic hike, At the completion of this year's athletic activities, emblems or numerals will be presented to the outstanding members of this association. ALBERTA TODD, '38 1 50 l French Club La presidente Beatrice Cain La secretaire - Marian Rhodes La tresouier ---- William Baker La directrice du programme - losephine King Despite the fact that the French Club was not organized until the second semester, it intends to make up for the time lost. The French Club holds its meetings every other Friday in the auditorium, and these meetings have proven interesting and beneficial. All the students who are taking second year French are allowed to take an active part in the club programs, while the first year students are permitted to attend the meetings and so benefit by them by being prepared for the following year. ln the second week of April the club is going to present a Chapel program in the auditorium which will include a short play, a peasant dance, and French songs. Plans are also being made for a dance which is to be given as part of the May Day Festival. The Senior members are as follows: W. Baker A. Braun G. Cochran Patterson M. Rhodes P. Wheeler B. Bradford P. Brown B. Hartsuff P. Olmstead C. Smith King B. Cain T. Honaker R. Porter A. Todd L. May S. Rickard L. Meyer The lunior members are the following: M. Anderson R. Berry E. Forsythe E. A.

Schaughency MARIAN RHODES, '38, l 51 l Foreword To Music The music department has attempted to carry out a larger and more varied program for the year of 1937-38. The general theme has been to lift music from the rank of an extra-curricular activity and place it upon an equal ranking with other studies. The first steps to do this have been taken by including music in the regular periods during the day, by giving proper credit, and by the buying of band uniforms, instruments, and other musical necessities. The music department has as its ideal and aim the development of a program that will include every student in school in some musical activity, either as a performer or an appreciative listener. It is the high calling and privilege of the music department to develop the tastes and appreciation of fine music in our school and community, and with this as its vision it hopes to carry on to even higher standards. I. DURO BRAMMER, Music Supervisor. V Mixed Chorus This year we were most fortunate in having a large Mixed Chorus, but still a rather select organization. The Chorus has made a limited number of appearances, in which they performed very creditably. A decided point in favor of the Chorus is the number and variety of the songs in its repertoire. The Chorus will undoubtedly have a very successful future, for it will lose only a few members through graduation this spring and will gain many new chorus-trained members in the fall. LLOYD D. MEYER, '38. V Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Chorus of this year has not been large as far as numbers are concerned, having only 42 members. The main object was the study and development of the individual voices in order to lay a firm foundation for future years, The club has spent much time on breathing, enunciation, reso- nance and development of voice quality. The classes have consisted of a steady diet of vocal exercises, madrigals and folk songs, all of which are voice developers. The Girls' Ensemble, a part of the chorus, entered the music contests and the clubs and for the Supervisors' meeting in Beaver and the Music Fes- tival as well as at several church festivities. The club is looking forward to a real year next school term. l52I Mixed Chorus V. Baldwin I. Bradford T. Brown S. Cain l. Chambers M. Cox M . Ellington D. Freeland M. Hays P. Hites I. Howe I.

Under its new director, Mr. Brammer, the band has had one of the most brilliant seasons since its organization. Not a little of the band's successful season can be attributed to its dashing new uniforms, which were made possible through the co-operation of the business people, a tag day, and the Board of Education. Practices are held three times weekly and each member receives one- fourth credit for his work in the organization. The band's outlook for the future is bright, and we trust it will always symbolize the spirit of achievement for Beaver High School music students. LLOYD MEYER, '38. Y The Orchestra This year the Beaver High School Orchestra is under the direction of Mr. Brammer, and although it has many new, inexperienced members, the Orchestra has done a splendid piece of work. To add to its distinction, the Orchestra has a new bass violin and new tympani, which will also be used for concert work in the Band. These instruments were presented by the class of '36. Another welcome addition to the Orchestra is the new Hammond electric organ, which is being Hnanced in part by the Iunior and Senior classes as their memorial gift. Each member of the Orchestra receives one-fourth of a credit for this activity. Rehearsals are held twice weekly. With the organ as a stimulus, we feel that higher standards of musical achievement will be obtained by future Beaver High School orchestras. LLoYD D. MEYER, 38.

A staff was selected and it immedi- ately engaged in the task of publishing a worthfwhile paper. The aims of the staff were fl J to publish a paper of interest to the student body and QZJ to provide an outlet for the fine work being done in the class- rooms, clubs, and various other activities of the High School. lt was felt that in doing this, a journalistic spirit might be aroused for the future. Much credit should be given the members of the Echo staff for their untiring efforts in helping to give the school a paper that was a true reflection of the student body of Beaver High School.

Under the able guidance of our captain, Mr. Baker, much has been accomplished. The port for which we are sailing is the winning of the Forensic League contest at Geneva on April second. To acquire practice and experience We have debated both sides of the question with opposing teams from Freedom, Rochester, Zelienople and Beaver Falls. These debates were non-decision debates, but were of much value to the debaters and of much interest to the student body. The officers on the affirma- tive Watch are Mary Dittman and Betty Glaser, and on the negative Watch are Arno Thompson and Paul Schaughency. The crew who man the ship are: Lou McFall, Laree Deeley, Lu lean Patton, Dorothy King, Patricia Olmstead, Betty Thompson, Lloyd Shenefelt and lack Porter. Whether We reach our home port safely or not, we shall have had a very interesting and profitable voyage. 'ALou MCFALL, '4O. I 59 l Intra-Mural Sports With the coming of our new basketball coach, Mr. Harold Fischer, came an elaborate Intra-Mural program which was executed with great success. The program included Basketball, Mushball, Boxing, Track Meet findoors and outdoorsl, Volleyball, Touch Football, Foul Shooting Contest, and Tennis. The most widely participated in with regard to players, games and the like was basketball. Three leagues HJ Iunior and Senior, 121 Sophomore and Freshmen, and UQ Iunior High, were organized, and about 171 boys participated. Room 101 was the winner of the Iunior-Senior League, and Room 216 was the winner of the Sophomore-Freshmen league. The players on the winning teams are to receive bronze belt buckles.

There is a Freshman-Sophomore league, and also a Iunior-Senior league. Each member of the winning teams will be awarded bronze belt buckles. A mushball tournament will get under way in the early part of April, and the games will be played after school at the athletic field. Leagues will be formed in this tournament, as in the other intra-mural activities, and prizes will also be awarded the winning teams. Girls' Volleyball This year the girls' sports proved very successful. All four classes were well represented. The first sport of the year was volleyball, Forty-four per cent of the total enrollment of the girls in B. H. S. participated. The teams had college names, and Carnegie Tech came out on top, After winning the volleyball tournament, Tech was beaten by P. C. W. lboys' team.J CARNEGIE TECH TEAM-Cziptain A. Todd, P, Olinstead, B, Payne, A. Gamble, H. Conklin, L. Vogt, D. Townsend, L. Nlclielvey, A. Sanderbeck. Fencing 'AOn guard, A new cry rang through the gym this year as the girls took up the new sport of fencing. Under Mr. Garman's patient instruction the girls learned the proper footwork, thrusts, lunges and parries. Fast thinking, good balance and co-ordination are the main requirements for fencing. Although many girls turned out for the class, about twenty girls finished the course. l61l Tennis ln spite of a late spring and unfavorable weather during the tennis season of 1937, Beaver supported a tennis team that was quite successful in league competition in our section of the W. P. l. A. L. The East End courts were the scene of exciting matches with such teams as Ambridge, Aliquippa, Midland and Beaver Falls, and, of course, return matches were played on the home courts of these neighboring towns. With such stars as Captain George Mc- Closkey, Harrison Richardson, Erskine I-larton, Daniel Finkbeiner, and Paul VVashburn composing the team, Mr. Baker had few coaching worries to con- tend with. Last year's successful season has created for tennis an interest and enthusi- asm that bids fair to make it one of our most important spring activities this year. As this article is written, twentyafour boys have already signed for the sport: and the advent of warmer weather will no doubt increase this number greatly. Boxing Beaver High took up the manly art of self defense this year in their intra- mural program. Several black eyes and swollen jaws were noticed in the class rooms, but the boys who had them didn't seem to mind, and were anxious to put the gloves on again to see if they cou1dn't disfigure someone else. Mr. Fischer was the instructor, and he knew what he was doing because he used to coach freshmen boxing while at Pitt. Nick Pavlinich assisted Mr. Fischer in refereeing the bouts. All the bouts were done in orderly fashion and none of the decisions were disputed, f62l Leaders' Club A new and different opportunity was brought to the girls of B. H. S. by Miss Carnelly. At the beginn'ng of the 1937-38 school term eleven girls were chosen as members of the Leaders' Club. Those eligible for membership must be willing to give up other things in order to be punctual and regular in attendance, be dependable, have high ability and character. During classes the Leaders need to be joyous, show a love of the work, have an attracting force and an energetic yet forcefully calm attitude. The duties of the Leader while aiding Miss Carnelly in gym work are as follows: fl l check class rolls, Q21 encourage a quiet yet pleasant attitude in the dressing room and in the gym class. f3l check equipment before and after class, lead all activities in the class, QSJ be patient and helpful to the other girls who need assistance. The girls have been successful in this new activity. Nliss Carnelly is to be congratulated for the fine work she has accomplished and we are sure the Leaders' Club will continue to be successful in future years. Members-lean Sitler, Virginia Portman, Alberta Todd, lacqucline Bradley, Betty Glass, Eleanor Roland, Dorothy Emery, Mary Lou McFall, Ioan McGarvcy, Sara K. Wilson. 4 Girls' Basketball Basketball, the game of the season, came next to volleyball. There was even a larger percent out for this well-liked sport. In fact, 5172. of the girls in B. H. S. took part. Again the teams had college names. Carnegie Tech was the winner of the Monday league, while Bethany came out ahead in the Wednesday league. Therefore the two teams had to play each other to decide the winning team. To our great surprise, Bethany downed Tech. BETHANY TEAM-G. Robison, B. Payne, captain: l. Patterson, L, lVlcKclvey, C. Lande- feld, P. Cowan, A. Gamble. At this time the basketball season was coming to an end, and the four class teams were chosen. In the first game the Freshmen were eliminated, since the Sophomores won the game. The Seniors won their game by eliminating the Iuniors. The game which followed and which gave the class championship to the winner, was a hard-fought game between the Sophomores and Seniors. The Seniors have held the championship since their Sophomore year, and they were determined to win it in their last year. As a result the Sophomores had to say, It was a swell fight, but we lost.

Football Summary Opening the season with a new coaching staff, composed of Mr. Eugene Moffett, formerly of Monaca, and Mr. Harold Fischer, formerly of Irwin, Beaver was introduced to an entirely new set of plays. Winning five, losing four, and tieing one, we consider the past season fairly successful, in spite of the fact that Beaver lost to Rochester and also to Sewickley by very close scores. The nucleus of next year's squad will be formed from the following boys: Cascio, Patterson, Marks, Kenehan, Brown, Holt, Steele, and Wanner, These lettermen will replace the following Seniors: Capt. Vic Hall, Walter Kountz, Nick Pavlinich, Robert Holt, Gerald Leary, Charles Stone, Thomas Yurasich, Iohn Roth, and Philip Martsolf, We. the graduating Seniors, wish the squad of '39 a very successful sea- son, with a victory over Rochester. We also wish to express publicly our thanks to the Mothers' Auxiliary for the fine banquet and sweaters which they made possible. CHARLES STGNE, '38. l 64 l Games BEAVER 6 ZELIENOPLE 0 The privilege of opening the present football season went to Beaver and Zelienople on the latter's field. Both teams battled on even terms during the first three periods, but in the closing minutes of the game, with the ball on our own 20-yard line, Cascio shot a pass to Ufleet- footed Brown, who ran 80 yards for the only score of the game. BEAVER 7 MIDLAND 31 Due to a superior Midland team, we went down to defeat in the first half, but came back in the second half, We held the Midland team scoreless in the second half and we scored when Stone took a pass from Cascio for a touch- down. Cascio added the extra point on an end run. BEAVER 12 AVALON 0 We missed a scoring chance in the Hrst half of the Beaver-Avalon game by seconds when the half ended with the ball on Avalon's live- yard line. Beaver came back strong in the second half and scored two touchdowns when Kountz tallied from the two-foot line and Brown scored on a five-yard drive through the center of the line. BEAVER 0 LEETSDALE 0 Having failed to score in three golden opportunities, Beaver High was held to a tie by the light and scrappy Leetsdale team. Long runs due to intercepted passes featured a thrilling fourth quarter, when both teams began to throw passes high, wide and handsome. BEAVER 14 MONACA O Under a rain of power plays, Monaca High School went down to defeat at the hands of Beaver High School. The Beavers scored in the second and fourth periods after sustained marches of 30 and 50 yards which ended with Kountz scoring both touchdowns on straight line plunges. The points after touchdowns were scored by Stone, who took a pass for one, while Kenehan dived over the line for the other. BEAVER 0 CORAOPOLIS 7 Coraopolis High defeated our Beaver High eleven, 7 to 0, in a hard-fought game. Fullback Miller scored through the line in the third quarter after a march from near midfield. Our Beavers eleven threatened to score in the first period, but was stopped on the Coraopolis 12-yard line. BEAVER 6 UNION TWP. 0 Our eleven defeated a scrappy Union Twp. eleven in the last thirty seconds of play in the final period. After playing on even terms through three and a half quarters, Beaver took to the air. On a very deceptive play Hall took a pass from Brown and ran Hfty yards for a touchdown, but it was called back due to a penalty on Beaver. With about thirty seconds left to play, Cascio faded back and threw a long pass to Brown, who crossed the goal line for the only score of the game. BEAVER 19 SEWICKLEY 20 Sewickley downed our Beaver High team by a very slim margin of one point. Beaver scored three touchdowns, due to Cascio's brilliant passing, with Leary being on the receiving end of the first and Brown taking the other two. Brown also scored the only extra point. Sewickley scored on pass interceptions and on a 70-yard run back of the opening kick-off. BEAVER 6 FREEDOM 0 While playing before three or four thousand people, Beaver High made the Armistice Day in Beaver a great success by downing Freedom 6-0. Midway in the first quarter Bob thigh Holt blocked a Freedom kick which was per- fect. The ball hit him in the chest and he wrapped his arms around it and continued on his way for a touchdown. This is a feat which is seldom ever accomplished. From then on both teams played on even terms. Freedom threatened twice but couldn't score when Bea- ver took the ball once on downs and again on a fumble. BEAVER 0 ROCHESTER 7 Playing in a sea of mud, Beaver was defeated by their Turkey Day rival by the score of 7-0. With the playing of this game, nine seniors ended their Beaver High grid careers. They were Gerald Leary, Charles Stone, Nick Pav- linich, Tom Yurasich, Robert Holt, Iohn Roth, VValterKountz, Philip Martsolf, Capt. Vic Hall. l65l Lettermen VICTOR HALL: Vic, our captain, played a very alert game all season. He made many a wise decision for our team, THOMAS YURASICH: Tom filled his position as guard very capably. He kept the opponents out of our backield and repeatedly broke up the rivals' plays. Tom was officially recognized for the right guard berth on the Class B All-W. P. l, A. L. Hrst team. IACK BROWN: The success of many passes this year was due to lacks ability as a passer. On assignments also he handled the ball very creditably. ROBERT HOLT: Bob was the tallest man on the team, His height came in handy when he blocked the punt which won the Freedom game, He played ubang-up football all season and missed his favorite pastime- hunting. x ,. r .., 1 .. If' 'N vi .f ,P PX , A 1 Eifr i .-i: CHARLES STONE: Stone at left end played a steady, dependable game. VVALTER KOUNTZ: Bunch played fullback regularly and was always good for the extra yardage for a first and ten. He was a hard runner and hitter, giving the opposition plenty of trouble. ' GERALD LEARY: Babe was the boy who broke up any reverses attempted by the other team, You could always depend on him to be in on the tackle. IOHN RUTH: lohnny did not see much action, but he played good football when he was in the game. l66l Letterman ROBERT STEELE: They say dynamite comes in small packages. This has been proved by Steelie this year. Although injured early in the season, we expect violent explosions from this little package next year. RALPH PATTERSON: Pat never remained on one position very long. The interesting fact is that he played good ball in any postion. HARRY MARKS: When Red hit them from the clubber position they really felt it. He was at his best in a crisis and we have no fears for the future. CHARLES CASCIO: Chuck called the plays in the huddle. He excelled at passing and handling the ball. He's a hard hitter and one who loves the game. no Y x 1-t 63' ' f -we gk... . if V Y 3 I-as U ......- w Q 3 I ::.' fy 'KQ3 Q ,g. , j . i' f ttt .

ALBERT KENEHAN: Al played every backfield position and excelled at each of them. At fullback he gets his greatest enjoyment. NICK PAVLINICH: Nick was the only three-year letter man on the team. Unfortunately, he broke his nose in the Freedom game, but recuperated quickly and played splendid football the remainder of the season. LESTER HOLT: Les at guard, while he wasn't the fastest man, was usually in on the tackle. PHILIP MARTSOLF: Phil was a substitute end, but he played well during those games in which he played. l67l Basketball Letterman CASCIQ- Chuck was the most brilliant player of the entire season. He captured the scoring honors for Section 12 with a total of 123 points. BEEKEN--HAI is also a freshman this year and displayed remarkable ability in the cage sport. We expect him to do great things in the future for Beaver High basketball teams. lVI'lNTYRE- Stu, although only a freshman, displayed some real ability in the games he played. He is a good shot and a hard fighter. We expect him to go places in the future. KENEHAN-HAI played a steady, dependable game throughout the entire season, You could always depend on him when the going was the toughest. MARTSOLF- Phil, while not a flashy player, played a rough and steady game, He was ushered out of the Columbiana game this past season for his rough tactics. ROLAND-'iChuck was hampered all season with a bad knee and sore ankles, but showed plenty of fight and determination to stay in there. STQNE- Chuck made the third Charles on the squad and also was the tallest player. Chuck was not a regular, but he played hard while he was in the game. PATTERSON- Pat's middle name seems to be bad luck. Pat no more than started the season when he Was forced to the side lines due to a severe head injury. Barring injuries, We think UPat will really hit his stride next year. BILL BROWN, '38, i 63 l Left to right: Mr. Fischer, FL. lones, R. Stewart, C. Cascio, S. Mclntyre, A. Beeken, M Zentner, F. McQuigg, A. Kenehan, P, Martsolf, C, Roland, C. Stone. Basketball To look at the record books for the past year anyone who wasn't connected with the school would say the season was a failure. But we know different. Mr. Fischer, our new coach and a very good one, took a group of inexperienced boys and developed a team that worked hard and should be given plenty of credit. Injuries forced Patterson, the center, to the side lines for practically the whole season and bad ankles slowed Roland up a bit. Two lettermen from last year were all Mr. Fischer had to work with, and the remaining part of the team was composed of underclassmen, ln Cascio, Kenehan and Patterson, all juniors, and Mclntyre and Beeken, freshmen, plus some fine prospects from the reserve team, Beaver High will put a team on the floor next season that will be a strong contender for the Section 12 title. BILL BROWN, '38. l69l Faculty Basketball Team For the first time in several years our faculty organized a basketball team and the venture was very successful. Ten games were played and the records show six wins and four defeats. The opposition was furnished by other faculty teams in the valley. The team was composed of Mr, Fischer Mr Baker, Mr. Moffett, Mr. Smith, Mr. Brammer, Mr. Schaeffer and Mr Halt Mr. Reber was the manager.

Smith Bob Mowery fDickj i721 Prophecy of Class of l938 fNote: Anyone who attempts to make sense out of the following will find before he is through that he will be in the same mental condition as the autliorsl. One fine morning on the evening during the summer months of the winter on February l, 1950, l awoke to find myself asleep in a hotel on Fifth avenue, Bridgewater, run by Iohn Henry Foster, the HLittle Caesar of the tobacco industry. l felt myself falling as the leopard leaped at my throat. Three years later, in walked Robert Holt and his wife, Twila Honaker Holt, who were caretakers at the Home for Aged Kangaroos. lust then the ceiling gave way and in slipped Mabel Eckles, the famous aviatrix, who was making a non-stop trip across the Beaver county desert, where l sat enjoying the show with my wife and family. Next, a bomb, thrown by Iohn Greco and Ioe McCaw, the two most infamous anarchists in the history of the world, exploded and we were shattered to pieces, but managed to push our way through the crowd which had gathered to celebrate the suicide of Czar Ernest fLemuel Q.l Anderson of England. Among the crowd gathered at the race track we saw many famous notables of the Class of '38, such as Virginia Portman, inventor of the Buttonless Shoestrap for Tall Womeng Paul Rex, President of the Stupendous Suspended Suspenderless Trousers Company of America: Sophie Rickard and Ralph Knowles, Guards of the Gates of Huckingham Palace located in front of the Beaver County Iail. Sitting on the cannon in the park we spied Glenn Moorhead, that famous exponent of powderless faces. Our dinner over, we took an airship to Italy. Our pilots were Leonard Goettman. the Gar Wood of the air, and Arno Thompson. We drove past the Home for Aged Football Players and Actors, where we saw Herr Lloyd Meyer picking potato bugs from his prize chrysanthemums. There was a sudden knock in the motor, and we were catapulted into the snow. Mary Frances Mason, the great equestrienne, pulling back the reins on her charger, swam across the ocean, with Lila May hanging onto her hair ribbon. After falling into the snow and being completely covered all but our ankles, we were saved by William Morgan, a monk at the Monastery for Decrepit Sailors. As we looked out the window we saw Marilyn Allebach and lack Evans, the Astaire and Rogers of the skating rink, sliding gracefully up stairs. Later in the afternoon we took a swim and the grass was the most beautiful we had seen that winter. Among those at the pool we met Bill Donaldson, the one and only Romeo left on the stageg Martin Hunting, the great emanci- pator, who had saved the Tarzan series by taking Iohnny Weismuller's place on the screen. As the train started we passed Harold Grason, who had taken the place of Shirley Temple in the hearts of millions of movie fans. l heard the baby cry and went upstairs to light the neon window curtains which were improved by that most intrepid quintet of inventors, namely, Herbert Crooks, Thomas Coles, Robert Chapman, Stanton Lyons and Robert Thomas. ln the baby's bedroom were congregated several old classmates who confessed to having plotted to steal the crib. Among those present were Betty Todd, Pauline Stuck, Katheryn Steeb, Norma Traylor, Olive Wolff and Betty Grimes, who were there on their vacation studying the relation of parsnips to garlic. As we parted, Conductor Davidson of the B.. O. E1 Bar Railroad, managed by lack Arnold, who invented the unfliable airplane, called out, l73l '1Pittsburgh, Grand Central Station. This fashionable depot was raised to the ground several years ago by the firm of Conklin, Hoge and Iohnston, the deconstruction engineers. lust then the bell for recess was rung by Ianitor Popp, and we all dashed for the radiophone. The boat was up to date and was piloted by that obsequious and gregarious gentleman of the river, Captain William Pauley. It was equipped by Homer Portman, who had invented those latest modern inconveniences such as hot and cold walking gas, electric bath tubs, stationary carpets, drop ceilings and numerous other methods of making people uncomfortable. We saw our friend Ioh-n Roth approaching pickaback pushing a baby buggy upside down while driving his new Blincoln-Breeze delivery truck backwards. It was indeed a great surprise, as we didn't expect to receive such a liberal salary which was paid by Professor Walter Kountz, who was occupied in playing baseball for the National League at the Fruit Bowl. But we were mighty glad to get in from the cold, so we decided to pay our hospital bill for the whole month of Iuly. The hospital staff was comprised of Drs. Burge, Cochran, Barnes, Hage and Carder. On the nursing staff were Charles Kerr, lack Kennedy, Walter Nelson and Iohn Schwartz. The speeches which were made by the Rt. Rev. Ralph Rhinelander and Hon. Gerald Leary, Ph.D., were greatly appreciated by the audience and received liberal applause from the gallery. Next we went to the premiere of the latest picture, Tears from the Oak Tree, or A'What'll We Do When We Graduate? Seated i11 the balcony of the projection room we espied that Nemesis of husbands, that virile box of surcharged emotions, Paul Wheeler, the greatest juggler since W. C. Fields. He was accompanied by his wife, Bette Zarle, who won recognition through the publication of her book, A'Crime Doesn't Pay, or Neither Do Husbands. The warden, Charles Ewing, with feet so large that he bridged the gap between East and West, was there, a la mode. Seated in a neutral corner of the ring was HLittle Dynamo Wagner, who blasted his way through quivering hordes of humanity due to the gentle, unaffected ways and encouragement of his second wife, Dorothy Patton. We heard Rex Neville say, 'AThat was pretty good soup, Stone. As you all know, Neville and Charles Stone are the ones who contributed to the human race the Backless, Bristleless Backbrush for Buxom Bovines. As the fleet was due, we decided to move further north, so we could help Dr. Najarian explore the South Pole by canoe. This canoe was fashioned by that human turbine of the South, William McClelland, and his assistant, Lloyd Shenefelt. who invented the Tootsy-Frootsy Umbrella for Willowy Damsels. We heard a cry from the cellar and after being repeated several times, heard Ethel Le Sueur say to Edith Pratt, 'iThem's harsh words, Helen Mortimer, so I ran out into the street to get Officer Ferrall to tell Patrolman Dan Baker to ask Policeman Roland to call Pavlinich the Cop. Running down the street was William Baker, president of the fraternity, A'Knights of the Eeta Byta Pi, pursued by Betty Bradford, who was his secretary during the Revolutionary War with Alaska. lust as the bus left the station we glanced into the Moldy Milquetoast Hot Spot, and saw Ada Graham, Owner and Prop. and Chummy Chef. Dancing in the orchestra pit were those Belles of the Ball, the Four H-Gems, Hitchin, Hartsuff, Heideger and Herbster. f74l Draped over the piano was Edith Fairweather, who is one of the most naive, unsophisticated and blase songbirds of Egypt. She is composer of the inspirational dance tune, Fair Weather in Siberia. Standing in a corner was Eleanor Weimer, who is designated by the title, 'AThe First Torchless Torch Singer. Singing on a street corner for the Haven of Lost Souls Institution, and dancing the accordion were Betty Doak, Genevieve Erwin and Mary Aeschbacher. Walking down the street on a fire-plug was Bill Brown, singing the latest sonnet from Macbeth, written by the versatile Evelyn Iones. Sitting beside us was Alberta Todd, who had won the Olympic Scooter-Bike contest while riding up hill backwards. As the newspaper published by Editor Beatrice Cain blew past me I read a poem written by the inimitable Gertrude Stein Olmstead. Summarized briefly, it reads: I went to the movie tomorrow, I took a front seat in the back, I fell from the floor to the ceiling And broke the front of my back. Driving across the skylight was that Barney Oldfield of the milk wagons, Phil Martsolf, accompanied by his wife, the former Marian Rhodes. The owner of this chain of dairy stores is Thomas Yurasich, whose stores are designated as the Upsy-Daisy Dairy Stores. Captain of a famous team of golfers is Allen Weidner, who never had a racket in his hand. Manager of the Captain is Samuel Ward, who built the first non-stop bridge across the Pacific Ocean. At his side was Archie Taylor, accompanied by his secretary, Iosephine King. Professor Taylor was the artist who painted the famous picture, 'Swan Eating Marshmallows in Snowstormf' A few minutes later, Raymond Youngberg, the Man on the Flapping Trapeze, drove past under his new Doggerlet V-12 Straight Eight. While the carpenter, Dorothy Sandberg, was tearing up the carpet, Russell Porter, who wrote the treatise on How Not to Take Moving Pictures, flew past on his water-wings. lean Patterson, who won the beauty prize for telling how she raised French poodles, skipped past, accompanied by the Three Danseuses, Buenna Reed, Iosephine Shutey and Ieanne Sitler. Charles Smith, George Stanton and Warren Robinson, who were chauffeurs for the notorious Goldie Bullion Qalias Shirley Kuntzl, walked past, accompanied by Edward May, who was for once without his wife. lust an hour later court was adjourned by Iudge B. Phyllis Brown, who was an ardent advocate of bigger and better breakfast nooks for infirm dogs. lust as I finished writing this, Armella Braun and Hazen Wilson were dragged into court to be tried for insanity. And so, dear readers, if by the time you have finished this super- amalgamated and colossal bit of humbuggery, you will probably be ready to toddle off to your own little trundlebeds, and we sincerely hope you never have a nightmare like this. Good night, all.

When the date of these contests was announced, Beaver High School students started to work, and by April 2, when the contests were held. they were ready for competition. A number of our students went to Geneva College and made a creditable showing. lack Kennedy won first place in oration, Charles Stone in declamation, and the brass sextet, composed of R. jenkins, D. McLaughlin, A. Hill, S. Fisher, Evans and W. Donaldson, also stood first. The trombone solo, saxaphone solo and instrumental ensemble also got first place by Way of no competition. We claimed second places in the cornet solo by Robert jenkins, and barif tone solo by Lloyd Meyer. This means that out of the eleven contests in which Beaver High School was entered, we shall participate in six events in the district contests. V Declamation After intensive coaching on the part of our brilliant instructor, Mr. Smith, the preliminary elimination was held in the library. Miss McKinley, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Murray, and Mr. Smith were judges. , Hugh Hazen Wilson, Whose subject was MThe Training of the lntellectgn Herbert Crooks, speaking of A'The Thoroughbredf' and Charles Stone, who also had the same same subject, UThe Training of the Intellect, were chosen. The final elimination was held in the auditorium, with Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Murray acting as judges. Charles Stone and Herbert Crooks were chosen respectively, principal and alternate. The Beaver County Forensic Contest was held in The Little Theatre at Geneva College on Saturday, April 2. Ambridge, Beaver Falls, New Brighton, Rochester. Freedom, and Beaver were represented. Charles Stone was chosen first, with Beaver Falls second, and Ambridge third. Miss Franklin of Grove City College acted as judge. The State semi-final is to be held at California, Pa., April 13. Beaver has hopes of placing in this event. The Forensic Contests originated at Grove City College, where the State Contests is to be held April 29 and 30. l76l Public R. Davidson Speaking W.

Our guard has kicked the football: The game is on its Way. Big Holt has made the tackle, He's in on every play. But she doesn't see the linemen- She only sees the backs. The line that has the toughest work And takes the hardest cracks. She watches Kountz in action: She watches lack Brown pass: But she doesn't see the linemen-1 She's the typical high school lass. The linemen are the he-men Of every football team. They've gotta be the tough mugs, With pep and lotsa steam. But the gals don't see it this way, You've got to run the ball, You've got to play the backfield Or you don't play ball at all. You may think that we are jealous, But we have a lotta fun. We open holes for the backfield Until the game is won. But now the tale is finished-1 - l've used up words and stuff, Remember what the wise man said, Enough is quite enough. TOM YURASICI-I, '38 To the Pessimist from the Grandstand The boys have got their sweaters now, And they're looking as they should. You just can't slam our ball team now, You know they're looking good, And, likewise, do you realize Had you gone out to play, Chances are you could have been Sportin' a sweater today? But you were weak and gave it up- The valiants carried on: And they won't forget the MOTHERS For the sweaters which they don. Their days of playing football For the high school now are goneg Yes, the song of joy is ended, But the melody lingers on. ARCI-IIE TAYLOR, 38. Y Cn My Answers When I consider how the time is spent On half the questions in this test dark and deep, And that one question which is hard to answer - Lodged with me unanswered, though l'm more bent To serve myself those points and present A good account, lest teacher, returning, chidesg Doth she exact brain work, answers denied? I hopefully ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies, She doth not need Either your answers or your brain work.

Westward-Ho One hundred and fifty years ago a brave band of pioneers set out from Massachusetts to settle the Northwest Territory. This year another band of Upioneersn with a caravan of oxen and pack horses are recreating as nearly as possible this famous trip, The pilgrimage is sponsored by the Government in commemoration of the Northwest Territory. The present-day A'pioneers are college boy actors who set out from Hamilton, Mass., on December 3, 1937. Their journey is financed by a 525,000 grant from Congress. For three weeks before starting the long hike the college boys underwent a period of training in hiking and acting. For their services they will receive 15100 each at the conclusion of the trip, their expenses and a Msalaryn of one dollar a clay. They have followed as closely as possible the original route, traveling definite distances each day in order to stop at towns where the pioneers stopped. They are dressed in buckskin suits, fur caps and clumsy boots. At each overnight stop the modern hikers stage a two-hour pageant depicting appropriate phases in American history. The party arrived in West Newton, near Pittsburgh, on Ianuary 20, 1938. They remained there for two months building their galley, barge and canoes as the original travelers did 150 years ago. With the annual flood waters in April they floated down the Ohio, arriving in Beaver on April 2. The entire town turned out to welcome the 'Apioneersf' who staged a pageant in our auditorium. This pageant, entitled Freedom on the March, was shown in eight scenes, as follows: First Milestone: The Albany Convention. Second Milestone: Capture of Fort Sackville. Third Milestone: Drafting the Newburgh Petition. Fourth Milestone: Treaty of Fort Mclntosh. Fifth Milestone: Formation of the Ohio Company. Sixth Milestone: Meeting of the Continental Congress. Seventh Milestone: Trek Westward. Eighth Milestone: First American Colony. After leaving Beaver they continued down the Ohio to Marietta and joined the ceremonies there. This will be the climax of the celebration and a huge monument to the original pioneers will be dedicated by President Roosevelt. WILLIAM PoPP, '38, f 39 l M -ew.,-if f 1? W, 5' ,KL , -if .

Memorial When, last Ianuary, we first heard the full, vibrant tones issuing from the beautiful sound cabinet of the Hammond electric organ, we determined immediately that, in one way or another, we would present that organ to B. H. S. ln a few weeks the necessary steps had been taken and the Hammond electric organ was presented to the school by the classes of 1938 and l939 and the music department of the High School, with the co-operation of the Board of Directors. Never can we say that our gift is a fair exchange, for Beaver High School has given to us far more than we could ever hope to return. However, we sincerely hope that, in the future, the organ will be a source of enjoyment, not only to the students and faculty of Beaver High, but to the townspeople as well. We appreciate the co-operation of the Board of Directors in making this presentation possible. Withoiit their willingness to match dollar for dollar the money of other organizations, such a gift would have been impossible.
