A subject for a dedication is not an easy choice and is more difficult this year with so many persons, places or things eligible. Many names of groups and indi- viduals were suggested. Each choice was given equal consideration and the reasons for that selection were weighed carefully. We tried to find one person or group that had worked wholeheartedly and enthusiasti- cally in our behalf. After looking at many names, all seemingly equal in merit, we be- gan to see that although each of the nom- inees had rendered invaluable services to us, the book was of too wide o scope to be dedi- cated to one individual or even one organ- ization. lt is not fair to thank one group and yet overlook the services of so many others. Then came the realization that all these people are part of one unit, part of the very backbone of our American democ- racy-our American community. Why not, then, recognize this group and give credit to all its members who have helped us, in- stead of singling out only a few? Directly or indirectly, all the benefits we have received during our school days have come from you, our friends in the com- munity. Out of your hands, through our school board, have come the improvements to our school and its property. We enjoy the use of a modern gymnasium and audi- torium, the school receives new equipment of all kinds, new subjects are constantly be- ing added to the curriculum to suit the needs of the students. Nor has your work been limited to the school grounds. Our new stadium, swimming pool and recreation center owe their existence to the foresight and effort on the part of the taxpayers of the community. However, let us not think only in terms of the material benefits we have received. Of tremendous importance is the splendid way you have supported all our functions. For all our class plays, benefit activities, and athletic contests are as necessary a part of our education as our classroom work. Whenever some student organization has sponsored a project, you have shown a com- mendable eagerness to help make it a suc- cess. By purchasing tickets, lending us equipment, and by adding those little extra bits of encouragement and advice, you have made it possible for us to gain valuable ex- perience of a practical nature in these ac- tivities. Thus it is with a great deal of pride and with deepest gratitude that we dedicate our i943 Shingas to you, the parents and friends in our community who have not only greatly aided the cause of education in Beaver but have also, in a large sense, made this yearbook possible. Mr. Smith, Mrs. Cummins, Mr. Paterick EXEl'llTI E PIIMMITTEE IN FORMER years, the question of how to thank our advisers for their part in our school year was usually solved by listing the activities of the class and expressing the students' gratitude tor the advisers' part in them. This year, however, we want to try to ex- press our feelings more adequately. Your help in all our big proiects has been invalu- able to be sure, but we are most grateful for all the little things, the everyday, often un- noticed little thoughts and helps you so freely gave us which helped make all our activities a success in this our last year in Beaver High. Mrs. Cummins and Mr. Smith, we thank you for the personal interest you have shown toward all our projects. Your willingness to use your time unhesitatingly, your sound suggestions, your good judgment have been prime factors in making our Senior year a success. We wish to thank you, Mr. Paterick, for your patience, your advice, and your help in solving the thousand and one problems en- countered in completing our l943 Shingas. ALT e stockholders control a corporation they are too widely scattered across the country to conduct its business directly. Therefore they elect a board of directors to conduct all the business of the organization. This board, acting upon rec- ommendations from the plant managers, strives to improve production, controls the finances, promotes activities and is respon- sible for the maintenance and repair of the corporation's buildings and equipment, ln the same sense, the citizens of the community could not manage the school's HOUCH th affairs efficiently, so they elect a board of school directors. The members serve a six- year term. This board is responsible for set- ting up the school's standards of education, managing school funds, sponsoring school activities, and the upkeep of school build- ings, equipment and grounds. For its fine work, for which no salary is received, and for its fine spirit in changing the school curriculum to suit the needs of the armed services and war industries, the class of i943 extends its sincerest to the board of ' thanks school directors. 3 Left to Right: J, Ral h W Scott p Patterson, W.

CLASS OF l943, you are to be con- gratulated on the theme of your annual in these days when production is such a timely and vital subject of world-wide concern. As you have developed this theme it is my sin- cere hope that you have grasped the true significance and place of free enterprise in the American Way of producing things. lt has been this spirit of production that has contributed much to the high standard of living which you have been privileged to enjoy and for which we now go forth to pro- tect in this world conflict. lt goes without contradiction that mistakes have been made as we have built the American standard of living but in spite of these errors we have yet to find another way of living for which we are willing to exchange. lt is my humble, yet noble, wish for you all that you will go forth from your high school with a firm determination to improve the American Way and not to replace it with some scheme or system foreign to us and inadequate to even maintain or advance the standard of living which we, as Ameri- cans, so highly cherish. May success crown your constructive efforts! SUi3'El2lNlENlDl2NT .Mem fm! 72741,-.7 f9fu-,fifw MARY I. McKINLEY Principal, Beaver High School ISABELLA KENAH Secretary to Superintendent MARY GRAHAM Clerk FRlNC FINISHING IIEIUIIITMENT MANMSEII ONE OF the significant trends of the program - Education for Liberty - the theme ofthe i943 Yearbook, is to multiply the opportunities and obligations of high school students. First, there are the immedi- ate and somewhat temporary adjustments. Second, there are those attitudes and abili- ties, which, in view of the present national crisis, require special emphasis. The spirit being shown by the members of the student body who are assuming the responsibilities that tall to them in war time is the spirit that is being enlisted in the sup- port of our Government. These responsibili- ties have the advantage of being both time- ly and highly motivated, and out of them is bound to come much that will be of value in later life. Congratulations for the man- ner in which you have met these challenges. However, we want to remind you that your main responsibility is to do better many of the things you have been doing in the past. We express the wish to you, the Class of I943, who are feeling, to a considerable de- gree, the stress of these days, that you may come out of these trying times clear in mind and competent to clo your part in solving the problems of the future. liflxlo Annamary Ballinger Allegheny College, A.B.

For a house to be strong and well built it must first have a good foundation. We get our foundation training in the Junior High School. The next steps are putting up the frame structure, the floors, studding, sills, partition and adding the utilities. The first three classes in high school correspond to these processes. After these processes are accomplished the house has begun to take shape but it is not yet ready for the inspec- tion of the public. Here begins the job of the finishing department. The house must be painted, the walls plastered, the seams made airtight, the artistic woodwork put in and the cornicing and decoration added. lt is the same way with our class. Although we have received a good strong foundation and the other processes of education, we are still not ready for public inspection. lt is here, in our last year, that we, the Seniors, receive the final instruction, advice and opportunity to prepare ourselves for the life ahead. ln short, it is the finishing de- partment. To some it means the end of formal education, to others the beginning of higher schooling. To all, a breaking up of the old High School gang.

T0 QUR BOYS lN THE SERVICE WHEN this war began and boys from our school and community entered the vari- ous branches of the service, we looked upon them as entering a grand and glorious ad- venture. With the passing of time and the fuller realization of what this war or any war really means, we began to get a truer vision of what these boys are going through to preserve the liberty we all hold so dear. Liberty, as we understand it, symbolizes the freedoms set forth in our Bill of Rights, freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. These boys are giving their all, so that victory will be ours and innocent people may live in peace all over the world. We dedicate this page of our Shingas to these brave boys hoping that it may in some small way show our appreciation for the sac- rifices they are making for us. l BEAVER HIGH lN THE WAR EFECRT DURING the past year, Beaver High School has done its part in the war effort. A War Stamp booth was set up in the main hall and students were urged to buy their stamps there. ln the fall, the school co- operated with the nation-wide scrap drive and the students brought in over eight tons of scrap meeal. The Home Economics club sponsored a drive for worn-out silk and nylon hose to be renovated for military use. Many boys worked shifts at defense plants and continued their school work. The school cooperated with the State Board of Educa- tion and the colleges by starting an accel- erated program of studies. Several Senior boys started to college at the end of the first semester. A physical fitness program was started in the gym classes to better the health of the student. A Victory Corps was organized to instruct the boys awaiting in- duction in Military Science and Tactics. Through these channels we hope we have done our share, however small, toward final victory. -33-- I ,fill UTILITIES DEPARTMENT LEADERS A FTER the basic processes of founda- tion, structural, and plastic works are com- pleted, specialization begins. Lights, plumb- ing, and heating connections must be put in. Thus in high school the Juniors, after completing their basic studies in their pre- ceding years, are beginning to branch out into the more complicated fields of mathe- matics, science, languages, and social stud- ies. This is an important year for the class and a year of changes, for everyone is get- ting closer to their life's work. Eugene Kirk Patti McBride Ruth Dodds Howard Graham JUNIOR OFFICERS 214 F.

'k ir EDUC!-KTIU H ACTIVITIES LIHIERTY, :Nl tat is 'tif GIQCI-IESTRA EXPERIMENTS prove that music helps to speed production, relieve fatigue, and in other ways build up the spirit and morale of workers in war factories and mills. Whenever and wherever possible, orches- tras, bands, and choruses are being formed from the personnel ot the plant to enliven, stimulate, and build up more interest in the plant. Many factories that can not sup- port such organizations of their own are providing for entertainment ot employees by bringing in groups to play and sing. So it is with the orchestra, band, and chorus in Beaver l-ligh School. Our orches- tra, under the direction of Mr, Brammer, has just completed another season designed Ll. it ' I .. 50 -..- to stimulate, entertain, and enliven activi- ties in the high school. Practicing from 8:30 to lO:OO three mornings each week, the orchestra provided a good foundation of music for its members by its extensive repertoire of musical selec- tions. A swing band, formed from both the band and orchestra, utilized part of this time and gave a good account of itself at a number of assemblies, as well as at func- tions outside of the school. C H MUSIC has the power to produce dif- ferent moods in an individual. No musical group can vary these moods as much, or as effectively, as a choral group. The voices of ci glee club or chorus can adapt them- selves to any tempo or volume, and are capable of infinitely more expression than musical instruments. This is why singers in both small and large groups are so popular. They possess the ability to produce different moods, ranging from one of tension and ex- citement to one of tranquility and peace. The Beaver High School Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Brammer, furnishes music of all kinds for all occasions, not only in school, but also in community functions. The chorus practiced five days a week dur- Combining with the band and chorus, the orchestra did outstanding work on a number of occasions. Two of these were the May Day Festival of l942, in which it accompanied the dances and songs of the program, and the annual Spring Music Fes- tival held in April. ' Credit should be given to members of this organization for the many long hours of practice required to attain the degree of perfection expected by the public. ORLJS ing the third period. Girls from the Senior High School made up the group, which is the largest musical organization in the school. The most frequent of the chorus' many appearances were in school assem- blies during which they led the student body in singing, or presented a portion of the program themselves. Among its many com- munity performances were appearances at church services at Christmas, Easter, and several other times during the year. Two of its most impressive programs were at the Spring Music Festival, when it was joined by the band and orchestra, and at the i942 May Day program aided by the Junior High School chorus and the orchestra. DEPARTMENT ...51-- SCI A COUNTRY progresses only as fast as its science developsg therefore, in war time it is most important that every school spend as much time as possible in the study of science, Beaver High, keeping in tune with the nation, again organized the Sci- ence Club to help the students in scientific problems which might confront them in NCE business, college or industry. All Juniors and Seniors taking science are eligible for membership in the club which is sponsored by Mr. Reber. The belief that experience is the best teacher is followed and members are encouraged to experiment or do re- search work and to bring their results to the meetings. -52 During the club's first meeting in Octo- ber, officers were elected, and the president appointed three committees: constitution, program and membership. The money on hand from last year was used to buy scien- tific equipment for the laboratory. As the school year continued, the club sponsored several programs. These includ- ed a quiz, a party and a play. The play, entitled Alchemist, por- trayed science in the Middle Ages. Around Christmas time the busy scientists put away their equipment and enjoyed a Christmas party. The officers of the Science Club are the following: President, Johannes Weertman, Vice President, Jane Williams, Secretary- Treasurer, Don C-lass, Reporter,Jim Hackett. SCIENCE AND NATUIQE STUDY THE word SANS might be a mystery to some of us, but to the Sophomore-Freshman Science students it means Science and Na- ture Study. This organization had its be- ginning when Mr. Charlesworth and some fifty Science students decided to break away frc-m the upper class Science Club and form their own. The SANS Club is open to all Freshmen and Sophomores interested in any particular phase of Science, as well as those who are students in the various scientific studies. The SANS Club meets every other Wednesday to increase practical knowledge LABOR of nature and to help students in scientific problems not covered in the class room. Many a Saturday morning a group can be seen on their way to an all-day hike in Cypsy Glen. The club enjoyed several field trips under Mr. Charlesworth's supervision. They try to find different kinds of flowers and animals, always being careful not to harm thern. ln November, the SANS Club sponsored a very successful High School party. Their officers are the following: Presi- dent, Bob Smith, Vice President, Jane Ellen McCormick, Secretary - Treasurer, Dick Shaw. ATQRIES -53- SPANISH DUE TO the great demands of the students, Spanish was taught tor the first time in Beaver High School. The popularity ot the subject gave rise to the Spanish club, or as it is known to the members, La' Fer- tulia. The organization is under the spon- sorship ot Miss Morton and any student tak- ing Spanish is eligible for membership. The purposes of the club are to create a better interest, in the language, to develop the students' conversational ability and to ac- quaint the members with the Latin-Ameri- -54-- can people, their customs and literature. Many interesting activities made up the club's programs. Reports on Latin-Ameri- ca and Spain were given, Spanish folk songs were sung, and short plays in Spanish were presented. All the members participated in some part of the activities. Near the end of the year, the Spanish club combined with the French club and put on an assembly in which half the program was conducted in French, and the other half in Spanish, The meetings were held during activi- ties period and whenever else possible. The officers of the club are the follow- ing: President, Mary Anne Wymer, Program Chairman, Lois Burton, Secretary, Lois Pink- erton. LATIN No NATlON can afford to neglect the wealth of knowledge stored in the lan- guages, customs, and literature of the an- cient peoples. With this thought in mind as well as to help students in their classwork, the Latin club was again organized under the sponsorship of Miss Bernard. ln their first meeting in October, the members elected officers and planned to meet the third Wednesday of each month. All students taking Latin who are interested in extra-curricular activities are eligible for membership. Young children are evidently not the only believers in Santa Claus, for the club wrote a letter in Latin to Saint Nick for a December project. lf you wandered into ci meeting of the Latin club this would be a typical program you would hear or see: Roll call would be given, each one an- swering by giving a Latin word. The club scng, C-uadeamus lgitur, and a short Lat- in quiz in derivative words would be held. Officers of the club are: Consul lpresi- dentl, Jane Williams, Vice Consul, Paul Courtney, Scriba lsecretaryl, Eleanor Stout, Consellium Libellum lprogram committeel, Howard Elstner, Barbara Moore, John Mar- shall, Jane Ellen McCormick, Robert All- bright, and V. Havenhill. uNoEi2siAnDiNos -SST SPEE SPEECH class this year had a very large enrollment. Under the direction of Mrs. Cummins, the all-girl class met Tues- days and Wednesdays and on Thursdays and Fridays the boys and the remaining girls convened. Breathing, posture, and position were the first things taken into consideration. C l-l Records were made of the voices to detect speaking errors. Another record, made at the end of the year, compared with the first, will determine the speech grade. Readings of all types were distributed and work began in earnest. Along came Thanksgiving, and those with appropriate readings participated, -56- along with the Chorus, in presenting the annual assembly. A Christmas play, A Sign Unto You, made up the Speech Department's part of the Christmas assembly. Mrs. Cummins also directed a few spur of the moment programs in assembly as well as several programs outside of school. During the second semester, impromptu presentation, declination, acceptance, and FREN A FEW years ago a group of French ll students, under the supervision of Miss Morton, assembled to set up an organiza- tion known as Le Cercle Francais. This has developed into the French club of to- day. The purpose of the organization is to develop the students' conversational ability and to create an interest in the language and customs of the French people. Mem- bership this year was again limited to the advanced students because all the meetings were conducted in French. demonstration talks were among the pro- jects for the class. The use of make-up was demonstrated by Mrs. Cummins, and every- one had a chance to apply his knowledge on a friend. A make-believe dinner, with toastmoster, after-dinner speeches and no food, climaxed the year's activity. ln this, each portrayed the person he imagines he will be ten years after graduation. A good time was had by all. C l-l The programs included many interesting activities. The members read paragraphs in French, sang folk songs, presented anec- dotes and short plays. ln learning more of the French language, the students achieved a greater understand- ing and appreciation for the French people. The officers of the organization are as follows: President, Dorothy J. Muns, Pro- gram Chairman, John Armstrong, Secretary, Barbara Ryan, Treasurer, Genevieve Straile. LANGUAGES .. 57 --- i I'5i 'Q INDUSTRIAL ARTS DUE TO the present war the govern- ment has urged supplementary vocational training in the schools to better equip the students to meet the standards set up in war industries. With this purpose in mind, the Industrial Arts club was again organ- ized under the sponsorship of Mr, Higbee. Formerly limited to 28 members, the club is now open to any student taking shop or mechanical drawing. Under Mr. Higbee's direction, the or- ganization has enjoyed many interesting programs. Some of these included speak- ers from different plants and mills who gave the boys useful information concerning in- dustry today. l A . 158- Again this year, a basketball team was formed, and with Mr. Higbee as coach, completed a successful season. Due to the lack of transportation facilities, however, the games had to be played with teams from inside the school. The club had the use of the gym every Thursday night. Their op- HO IN WAR time, it is the housewife's duty to keep her family in good health by preparing nutritious food and providing suitable clothing. The Home Economics club, sponsored by Miss Elizabeth McKinley, helps the girls to master home-making du- ties not covered in daily classes in Room 2l5. These girls, skilled in sewing and cooking, will be better able to take care of their homes in less time, spending more time for war work. During its first meeting in November, the club elected its officers and planned fu- ture programs. Every year the Home Economics club sponsors worthwhile projects. This year silk and nylon were collected at the govern- ment's request, to aid in the war effort. One hundred thirty-seven pounds were col- PLAN ponents included the Hi-Y, the Reserves, and the Junior High. The year was concluded with an assem- bly program presented by the members. The officers of the club are: President, Pete Vlachos, Vice President, James Wood- row, Secretary-Treasurer, John Copeland. ME ECGNGMICS lected during the first drive this year. During the year several teas and holiday parties were held. A particularly well- planned one was the Christmas party held on December 2l. A reading and piano solo were given, followed by many Christmas selections sung by several of the members. The main attraction of the program was when Santa Claus lChiefi handed grab-bag presents to all of the members. Through the help of Miss McKinley, the club obtained several outside speakers to give the girls special instructions on nutri- tion and how to economize on the family budget. The officers of this club ore: President, Effie Moldovan, Vice President, Eleanor Stout, Secretary, Eileen Riegle, Treasurer, Barbara Irons. NlNG .-.59..... VA THE present war has brought home to the American people the realization that if a nation is to be strong, the men ot that nation must be physically fit and mentally alert so they may tight to keep their home- land strong, With this idea in mind, a RSITY vast, unprecedented physical fitness pro- gram is being developed all over the country. ln the armed forces, in indus- try, in the colleges and schools, organized athletics are being required to make the youth of America tough enough to tight 1.6Q-- and bring victory to the United States in this war of survival. The Varsity Club, under the direction of Mr. Leffler, is composed entirely of boys who have earned a varsity B in either football, basketball or baseball. lt is the annual responsibility of the Varsity Club to buy sweaters for the Senior basketball lettermen. This year, the club co- operated with the Senior class in putting on a benefit movie to raise the money for the projects. As their final activity of the year, the club sponsored a basketball game between the Senior members of the basketball squad and the i944 varsity. The officers of the club are as follows: President, Jack Deeley, Vice Presidents, Tom Cochran and Don Parsons, Secretary, Roger Netherland, Treasurer, Larry Snapp. l-ll-Y To CREATE, maintain, and extend throughc-ut the school and community high standards of Christian character. These words embody the spirit and purpose of the Hi-Y club. The Beaver Hi-Y club was organized last year and is now under the direction of Mr. Smith. On becoming a member, one must pledge himself to these four ideals: Serious- ness in the effort to refrain from all profani- ty, promotion of clean sportsmanship, fur- therance of clean living, unhampered by harmful practices, and adherence to the club's rules. Cl-l Meetings were held every Thursday at which the members were entertained by speakers, among them Ross M. C-ridley, county agricultural agent, and James Baker, Boro Secretary. Among the other activities of the club were the Hi-Y dance and assem- bly program. Probably the most popular activity of the club was the basketball team. The boys practiced after meetings to meet other Hi-Y teams of other schools and other organiza- tions within the school. Some of the mem- bers also served as ushers at games during the basketball season. ARACTER -61- SHING To MANY of the readers of this Shingas any mention of the Staff brings to mind little more than an especially fortun- ate group who run around the halls trying to look important when pictures are being taken, who get out of class more than the next fellow, who take your money all too glibly, who hand sheets of paper to each other in a very mysterious manner and who really have nothing at all to do. Ah, but life is not so rosy. We shall examine each one of the charges separately and see the cause or the result of them. Sure, we run around the halls. Yes, but what a howl would arise if a few students missed having their pictures taken because Nobody came around to tell us! Charles Brown, Dick Harkins and Bob Patterson, the photography editors, are responsible for every smiling face being present in the pic- tures. We get out of class, do we? You must mean the salesmen. Well, they do-but just to keep all your money straight and see that everyone gets credit for his purchase.

We take your money, eh?-Too bad. Bill Whitehill, John Copeland and Jane Wil- liams take care of such trifles, as printing bills, engraving bills and cover costs. ln all about S1500 pass through their hands for your Shingas. Those mysterious messages we get? That's merely copy being given to Genevieve Straile, the literary editor, who checks all copy for mistakes.

Where's that article on sports? Who has the galleys for page one? These and more are some of the familiar shouts and cries eminating from Room lO4 as Barbara Hansen and her edi- torial staff try to put together one of the editions of the Beaver High Echo. C-alleys, you say-what are galleys? Those are the first proofs sent back by the printer for proof reading before the paper goes into its final form. Yes, the Echo was printed this year for the first time in many years. And printing really dresses up a school newspaper. Under the supervision of Mrs. Vesper, the staff worked hard and long to collect, rewrite, edit, compose, and proof read all H O sorts of articles in order to give the pupils of Beaver High School a paper suited to the school. Also for the first time the Junior High shared the paper. The last page of each issue was devoted to happenings in and about the Junior High. A As in previous years, the Echo was pub- lished once each month, or nine issues in all, with the last one as a Commencement issue. During the first semester 390 sub- scribed to the Echo, and during the second, 247. lt is felt that when the pupils realize the full value of such a publication that every one will not only subscribe for the full year, but in every way lend support to such an undertaking. irulrir PUBLICITY ,64- l VICTQRVCORPS THE AIM of our Corps is to turn out men who are well trained in the school of the soldier, military discipline and military courtesy. We do not look upon this as a class but as a patriotic duty. Our sole purpose is to learn the rudi- ments and fundamentals of soldiering so well, that time may be saved when these boys are inducted into the armed services of our country. The Corps consisted of one company of Infantry. This was composed of two three- squad platoons, each with a cadet Second Lieutenant commanding. The staff was made up of a cadet Captain as Company Commander, a First Lieutenant, as Adju- tant and second in command, a Quarter- master-Master Sergeant, a Sergeant Major and a Sergeant Bugler. The color guard contained a Senior Color Sergeant, a Junior Color Sergeant, and two Color Corporals. The regulation twelve-man squad was used with a Cuide Sergeant, a Platoon Sergeant, Scouts, Messengers and, of course, the com- pany drill master, the First Sergeant. The Corps drilled two days each week. The first platoon met first period in the morning and the second platoon in the af- ternoon with two nights spent after school, many times until six o'clock. Special drills lVlll.l'l!Xl2Y were called for Saturdays and holidays when deemed necessary. Other days were spent in the class room studying the lnfantry Drill Regulations, our textbook, and listen- ing to lectures given by the Tactical Officer on sanitation, plane recognition, army con- duct, map reading and simple tactical prob- lems. Countless changes in military tactics have been made recently, but the Corps kept up on them through these lectures, based on material taken from regulation and recognized army books. These books were also in the Library for reference. The liaison of intelligence with infantry and of infantry with other branches of the service was discussed and the papers to be signed for induction were studied from actual forms provided. The rifles we used for our drill were made by our own shop boys, however, many of them were finished by individual mem- bers of the Corps. Chevrons, made by girls of the Home Economics Department, added greatly to our uniforms which consisted of white shirt, blue trousers, black tie, socks and shoes. The intense interest shown by every member in the Corps and the cooperation shown by parents and school authorities were quite gratifying to those in charge. SCIENCE -65- STUDENT COUNSELCDRS DURING the past year the old organ- ization familiarly known as the Student Senate was disbanded and in its place was installed the Student Counselors. One might think that it was just the same group only under a different name but in reality the aims or objectives of each are so far apart that there could be no connection. For example, the old Student Senate had resolved itself into nothing more than a grievance committee. Members of the stu- dent body would voice their protest at some school regulation and would expect the Stu- dent Senate to get the administration to change it. Or in another case, members of the Student Senate would conceive the idea that the administration of the entire High School should be placed in their hands. These are only two of the many mistaken ideas of what the Student Senate was for. Under the present organization the aims of the Counselors were clarified into three major points. Perhaps the oath of office which members were required to take will show the aims or objectives of the new organization. Here is their oath: Having been elected to the Student Counselors, l hereby agree to the fol- REP lowing as my obligations to the school, faculty and the student body. I promise to obey all the rules, reg- ulations and requirements of the school in the interest of good citizen- ship and by word and deed help to in- fluence all other students to do the same. I promise to exercise good sports- manship at all times and encourage my fellow classmates to do likewise. I promise to attend twhenever pos- siblel, participate in, or in other ways conduct myself properly at all school social functions, assemblies and other activities conducted after school hours and help others to make these func- tions successful. lf at any time l feel that l cannot concur with the above obligations l shall voluntarily resign from this or- ganization. Thus you see that this group, instead of attempting to pull or be pulled away from established rules and regulations, is now acting as real leaders of our student body to affect better understanding and coopera- tion between administration and pupils of B. l-l. S. RESENTATIVES ..66 -- NATIONAI. l-lONCDl2 SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP, Leadership, service, and Character, these are the requirements for membership in the National Honor So- ciety. To qualify for membership, a student must be in the upper third of his class, must be a leader in extra-curricular activities, must give service to classmates, the faculty, the school and the community, and must pcssess high standards of citizenship, ideals and moral fitness. At the end of its Junior year, each class may select tive percent of its members for the society. Those admitted last May were Inez Ammon, George Minton, Roger Neth- erland, Donna Olmstead, James Walters, Jchannes Weertman, William Whitehill, and Jane Williams. In February of the Senior year an addi- WO tional ten percent of the class is eligible tor election. This year the following ten were chosen: Frances Foster, Elwood Frymire, Donald Class, Doris Hood, Richard Kronk, Genevieve Straile, Kenneth Thompson, An- drew Wright, Freda Mack, and Barbara Ryan. Two more members from the Senior class may be chosen later in the spring. From a list of their class, the Seniors chose those whom they thought most eligi- ble for membership. The teachers voted on the same qualifications and after the two bollots were compared, the students receiv- ing the most votes on both ballots were chosen for membership. The new Junior members were initiated in an impressive candlelight ceremony in the spring. RKMEN -67- C l-l HEVERYONE wishing to try out for Cheerleader meet in the gym at 4:OO. This terse notice sent around the school early in the year brought many eager aspirants for the job of getting the student body whole- heartedly behind the team and keeping up their spirits. The candidates were coached by the cheerleaders from last year: Molly Scott, Mary Lee Small, Gertrude Eller, Albert Cuz- zetti, and Eugene Patterson. After a week's EERLEADERS practice the most capable would-be cheer- leaders were selected by a committee of teachers. The new members added were: Frances Foster, Patti McBride, Bob Mangan, and Eileen Morris. The cheerleaders, dressed in red and white uniforms, appeared at all the football games and several basketball games. Bob Mangan represented Beaver at the All-Star football game at Ambridge in which one cheerleader was chosen from each school participating. r L , ft, 1 lk 1.68-- 4 i BAND HSTRIKE up the Band. Who among us has not thrilled to the rousing rhythm of martial music? As a parade moves down the street or as the team jogs out on the field before the game, there is something electrifying in the colorful band displays. No, the effect of music on morale can not be overestimated. An orchestra with its soft strings and reeds can soothe and quiet the nerves ofa nation, but it is the martial mus- ic, the songs of marching men that keep a nation's spirit flying high. All of this leads up to the purpose of the Beaver High School Band. Mr. Bram- mer has piloted the band through one of its busiest and most successful years in stimu- lating the morale of the students. First of all, of course, comes football season. The ' s band played at pep meetings, but at the games they really turned on the pressure. Led by Wanda Anzio, the head drum major- ette, the members marched through many intricate formations. This phase ended with the annual Armistice Day parade in which Beaver won second prize, topped only by the Beaver Falls band. The band also played for the departure of the draftees and marched in the Memorial Day parade. ln April, it did its part in making the Music Festival a success. Of course, for all its activities, the band practiced long and hard. Two mornings a week from 8:30 to lO:OO, the band spent in improving their playing ability. The band is composed not only of high school students, but junior high pupils as well. rw - 1 . 75 .1 1 ,, -J , rg L71 'D ll' 'k ir M Q' s 5 0 1 ik Y i 'i Competition stimulates production, between shifts, among depart- ments, against other plants. l-ligh school athletics utilize this idea in individual contests, intramural tournaments and interscholastic games. ir 'Ir EDUCATIO ATHLETICS H LIBERTY, I ANOTHER SEASO DURING the spring of 1942 Beaver High lost the services of its football coach, John Economos, when he cast his lot with Uncle Sam's Navy. Sam Milanovich, the as- sistant coach, also went to the Navy. A few weeks before practice was to begin, the school board selected as head coach Harold C. Leffler, formerly of Martin's Ferry, Ohio. Max Martin and James Scarfpin were chos- en as his assistants. Practice opened August 25, with eleven lettermen reporting. This group included N ROLLS AROUND Hume, Deeley, Carlon, Pinkerton, Parsons, Netherland, Deemer, T .HoIt, Black, Scherr- baum and M. Patterson. Eight other boys with some varsity experience were on hand including B. Patterson, Cochran, Douds, Fisher, McKelvey, Fitzgerald, F. Cascio and D. Cascio. To this group was added a host of new faces, some from Junior High, some from other schools, all eager and enthusias- tic aspirants for the various positions on the team.

The Bobcat gridders' first score came in the initial period when Don back, skirted left end on a reverse for a touchdown. From then on it was Beaver's ga is no indication of the tide of battle, for the Beaver boys were continually in Midland line opening large holes for the backs. Beaver almost scored again in the first a pass lying on his stomach on the two-yard line, but Midla d in the third quarter when they drove to th from there on an off-t cha ' g ighting Midland Parsons, high stepping half- me all the w ay.

Although the edge in first downs, they were unable to stop the hard running, passing, and kicking of Charley Staples, star halfback. Avalon opened the scoring in the first quarter when Staples returned a B yards for a touchdown. The second and third quarters were fought on even ter ' ' over a score.

From there Staples started around , and dashed over for the final score of the game. LEETSDALE When the Beaver team traveled to Leetsdale they found themselves up against a team gunning for its six- teenth straight victory. Although the Dalers were victorious, they were forced to play bang-up ball to down the fighting Beaverites who threatened three times but were unable to score. The punting of Scherrbaum kept the Spartans in the hole throughout the first quarter in which Beaver made a valiant try for a touchdown before be- ing stopped on the Dalers' l3-yard line. A long pass in the final minutes of the second quarter brought the Leets- dale eleven to the Bobcats' three-yard line from where Melnick carried the ball over. After the kick-off, Beaver marched to the Leetsdale 23-yard line before they were held for downs. Again in the fourth quarter with Cochran carrying the ball most of the time, Beaver moved into Leetsdale territory. A long pass from Cochran to Coates moved the ball to the Daler six-yard stripe before the Maroon and Gray gridders were again repelled. The Spar- tans then began to move, aided by an intercepted pass, and this drive ended with Melnick again carrying the ball over the goal line on a reverse. The Bobcats played one of their best games of the year, altho h ' to defeat. Cochran's running and Scherrbaum's punting were outstanding. ug going down I N T E l2 F ACTCDRY .-74.. c Stro with Scherrb n t Q MONACA Although outscored by Monaca 18-O, the Beaver Bobcats were never out-fought in a rough, well played game at the Indians' field. Using a wide variety of reverses, passes and laterals, Monaco drew first blood in the opening quarter when one of their halfbacks dashed 13 yards for a score. The two teams battled on almost even terms throughout the rest of the first half. In the second quarter Beaver muffed a scoring opportunity when they were unable to push over a touchdown after a brilliant 54-yard run by Cochran had brought the ball down to the Indians' seven-yard stripe. This was the only time Beaver threatened throughout the game, but they staved off several enemy thrusts. Monaca's last two touchdowns came on a 44-yard sprint and a two-yard plunge. Beaver tried to come back with passes in the fourth period but most were intercepted by an alert Monaco defense. ZELIENOPLE Beaver cashed in on every golden opportunity in their annual battle with Zelienople, scoring three times in the first six minutes of play and going on to win 27-7. The Bobcats wasted no time on the second play of the game. Parsons dashed 20 yards deep into enemy territory to set up the touchdown machinery. Cochran then blasted off-tackle for 10 yards and a score. The next kickoff found Zelienople playing hide-and-seek with the ball as it rolled over their goal line. Coates ran down the field and fell on the ball for the second touchdown. Zelienople fumbled the next kickoff and Beaver recovered on their opponents' 24-yard line. Cochran then skirt- ed right end for another score. The play during the second and third quarters was confined to midfield as the teams battled on even terms. Early in the fourth quarter a 30-yard pass gave Zelienople its lone score. The Bob- cats apparently became infuriated at this and marched the length of the field with Scherrbaum going over for the final score. Excellent blocking and wide-awake playing paid dividends to the Beaver club. AVONWORTH On a rain soaked, mud covered field which prevented any fancy ball handling, our Beaver team fell before the Avonworth eleven 7-O. Because of the weather, the attacks of both elevens were practically nil and the game was fought on nearly even terms all the way. The Bobcats were the first to threaten when Deeley broke through to block an Avonworth kick, but Beaver's running attack bogged down and they were stopped 20 yards short of the goal line which was as close as they got in the first half. Midway through the third quarter, Thorne, Avon- worth halfback, gathered in a Beaver punt and outraced the Beaver defenders down the sidelines 70 yards for a score, the only touchdown of the encounter. The Bobcats came back in the fourth quarter when an Avonworth punt from their own goal line carried only 20 yards. Beaver then marched to the three-yard line before they were held for downs. The game ended a few minutes later with Beaver trying to score on passes after Avonworth had punted out of danger. NEW BRIGHTON Beaver went down to defeat at the hands of a powerful New Brighton eleven in a high-scoring, exciting game, 27-13, New Brighton started out strongly when Wurzel scored on a 22-yard run in the first quarter. The Crim- son and Gold continued their march throughout the second and third quarters when they garnered touchdowns on a plunge and two long passes. As time began to run short in the fourth quarter Beaver's attack came to life. The parade began when Black recovered a fumble on the Brighton 20-yard stripe. McKelvey scored o few minutes later after a series of line plunges. The play began to get rough then, as three Beaver players and one Brighton boy were taken off the field with injuries. The next kickoff was fumbled by Brighton and Beaver re- covered on New Brighton's 44-yard line. The old as the hills Statue of Liberty play carried the ball to the Crimson's 16-yard marker and then a pass to Deeley resulted in a touchdown. Excellent never say die spirit brought good results for the Bobcats in this battle. FREEDOM Behind Fil Mecklem's running, Scherrbaum's passing, and good line blocking, the Maroon and Grey grid- ders smothered the Freedom Bulldogs 25-6 in their annual fray. All of the scoring came via the air route. Beaver opened the scoring when a 10-yard pass to Parsons brought a touchdown. In the second quarter Beaver came up with a tricky spread formation which resulted in a touchdown when Mecklem passed to Carlon. ln the third quar- ter Beaver spent most of its time repelling the advances of Freedom, but found time to make another tally when a lateral pass from Parsons to Coates resulted in a score. Freedom then opened up a passing attack which brought them their lone touchdown. Most of the fourth quarter was played between the 30-yard stripes, but in the dying minutes of the game Beaver brought out its spread formation again and a lateral to Deeley, who went 28 yards for a touchdown, concluded the Bobcats' scoring. Again good blocking and heads-up ball paid dividends. ROCHESTER Beaver went down to defeat at the hands of a classy Rochester team in their annual battle, but not until the Maroon gridders had given a good account of themselves by holding the Rams to one touchdown in the first half. Beaver's attack, both ground and air, was bottled up during the first half as the two teams battled back and forth, up and down the field many times. The second half was a different story however, as Rochester pushed fl 2- L over one touchdown in the third period and four in the fourth and the Bob- cats finally bowed 39-O. Beaver started rolling in the last few minutes of play, but couldn't hit pay dirt. Ten Bobcat Seniors played their final game for B. H, S. and gave a good account of themselves, although in defeat.

Mr. Leffler is the fourth mentor the Beaver cagers have had in the last five years. As each coach has his own system, much volu- able time in practice had to be spent in learning the fundamentals of the coach's style before getting down to the fine points. Transportation proved to be a major problem this year. With pleasure driving banned and buses and trains overtaxed, the schools in the Western Pennsylvania lnter- scholastic Athletic League fW.P,l.A.L.l did their part by reducing the size of their bas- ketball squads. Many times only the var- sity squad was taken to away games to help out. This year's Bobcat squad consist- ed of only seventeen members instead of the twenty-two which usually made up the team. This year the varsity and jay vee squads were not separate units, but overlapping. Many boys played in the preliminary game and then were put in the main event in the some evening. Only three lettermen were left from last year's varsity squad. Coach Leffler built his offense, the fast break attack around Mr. Leffler, Cascio, Cook, Henry, Carlon, Black, Firestone, Courtney, Mr. Scarfpin. Frymire, McCormick, Scherr- baum, G. Guglielme, Williams, Graham, Reno. J. Guglielme, M e c k I e m, Snapp, Vlachos, Patterson, Dee- ley. these three: Jack Deeley, Fil Mecklem, and Pete Vlachos. Although the season's record was not impressive, the coach and the team deserve credit for playing a good brand of ball all the way. ln spite of injuries and other cir- cumstances that tended to hinder progress, the boys and the coach worked hard to try to find a winning combination. The team culminated its season by a trip to Pittsburgh, where they played Shady- side Academy. The boys ate dinner at the Academy and then went to a show down- town. Jack Deeley, two-year letterman, was elected captain for the season. The other senior lettermen included Fil Mecklem, high scorer for the team for two consecutive years, Larry Snapp, Pete Vlachos, and John Cuglielme. Lettermen returning next year will in- clude Milton Patterson, Dick Scherrbaum, and George Cuglielme. These three, plus several other boys with varsity and jay vee experience, should give Beaver an experi- enced, promising team. Also to be heard from are the boys moving up from the .lun- ior High. C. S. Lin s S n, Faculty Manager H. C. Leffle r, Head Coach J. W, Scarfpirm, Ass istant Coach JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL BEAVER Junior High School did not have a regular football schedule this year, but the team participated in the games played by the Bobcat Reserves. The Junior High practiced almost every night of the school week and although they had no regu- lar games to look forward to, they kept plug- ging away on the elementary plays and fun- damentals of the game until they had mas- tered them. The Junior High participated in the five games played by the reserve club this season and they scored the winning touchdown in the Freedom game. The team was ably coached this year by James Scarf- pin. Mr. Scarfpin played football at Pitt and Ohio University, and was football and basketball coach of Woodsfield lOhiol High School. The Junior Bobcats made a very fine showing for themselves in their first year of organized football, in preparation for the time when they will take their places on the Beaver varsity elevens of the future.

Any coach will tell you that if a team doesn't know its fundamentals it can't be a winner. With this thought in mind the Beaver Junior Bob- cats completed another year. Coached by James Scartpin, the team used the same style ot play as the varsity so as to lessen the gap between Junior High games and the pace of a long, hard regular varsity season. With the gym available only a tew nights a week, the J-H did very well for themselves, winning six out ot an eleven game schedule. Jim Clarke and Tuck Schwartz, the only holdovers from last year's squad, paced the attack of the Junior High. Their opponents included, in addition to the Junior Highs of other schools, the re- serves and Industrial Arts Club.

As in preceding years, volleyball tournaments and basketball tour- naments were held during the noon-hour in the gymnasium. Badminton tournaments were played near the end of the year. Many of the girls are planning on going into war work when they have completed high school, and their training will help pre- pare them physically for the work. During the first semester a roller-skat- ing party was held at Rochester, and a swim- ming party was held at the Y. M. C. A. in New Brighton. Later in the year the club sponsored a dance in the gym. The officers for the club are: President, Irene Romigh, Secretary, Wanda Anzio, and Treasurer, Molly Scott. LEADERS Inez Ammon, Molly Scott, Bobbie McCleary, Jackie Zubaly, Irene Romigh, Mary Ann Wymer V- I, . ,. ,.. f . As THE curtain rings down on an- other school term, the Leaders club ends another fun-filled year. The club, started by Mrs. Detzel CWilma Carnellyl in I937, has continued to be one of the best known of the school. The girls in the club are chosen for their athletic ability, leadership, scholarship and willingness. Their duties are to check rolls and showers, master in all sports and help the teacher whenever possi- ble. Although three of the girls will leave this year, the remaining girls will continue their work next year with the help of new leaders. Due to the war, Play Days have not been observed this year, but other ac- tivities have taken their place. The Senior members of the club are Inez Ammon, Ro- berta McCleary and Irene Romigh, the Jun- iors are Molly Scott, Mary Anne Wymer and Jacquelene Zubaly, ,X E QEATIOIXI -...- ' I. -35.- 1 i 1 ll' ir ir Q ..- Wy i l l l lb f i Q i i ll W 1 s Q XA . i lndustry has learned the value ol: recreation For its employees.

The High School Band and Orchestra opened the program with several familiar -88 DAY patriotic selections followed by songs by the Senior, Junior and Intermediate Choruses. Accompaniment was given all dances and activities by the organizations throughout the whole program. A group of dances presented by Grades Three and Twelve represented the different nationalities and races that are found in MAY Mexican, French, Dutch, Russian, Austrian, and Chinese. Canada was portrayed by Harry Coll, dressed as a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman. To show the fusion of these various groups into Americans, mem- bers of Mr. Martin's gym classes put on a flag drill. As the May Queen, or rather Cioddess of Liberty as she was called, and her atten- dants were about to rnake their appearance, the remainder of the Senior girls formed a large V, Della Jean McPherson, this year's Goddess, was crowned by her maid of honor, Christine Wilson, and was presented with the torch of liberty by Nancy Kincaid. The other attendants were Kathryn Mar- shall, Mary Jane McClarey, Phyllis McBride and Alice Gregory. The patriotic motive was noticeable in their gowns, two of red, two of white, two of blue, with the May Queen dressed in white satin. On the finale, the different phases of our American way of life were portrayed by different groups and individuals in the com- munity. The armed services were represent- ed by the Beaver Valley Military Corps, as well as members of the P. J. Davidson Post, DAY American Legion. The Boy Scouts, Cirl Scouts, Cub Scouts, American Legion Aux- iliary and Junior Auxiliary were grouped around the attendants, Doris Irons por- trayed the American Red Cross, Dick Elst- ner, education, Mr. and Mrs. Elwood Hughes and family, the home, Dr. Charles Wolf, the church, Jack Morgan, industry, Mr. Hugh Fischer, business, and Bill Cor- don, the farm. This spectacle, the largest and most complete of May Day endeavors, was wit- nessed by over three thousand people from Beaver and surrounding towns. Over six hundred pupils from C-rades Three through Twelve took active part in its many phases. Altogether, it represented a gigantic task requiring skill, patience and a great deal of cooperation, but the reactions ofthe general public in expressing wholesale appreciation, compensated for the effort required in stag- ing it. Perhaps by the time this book reaches your hands we will have had another, and if so we hope this year's program was as well given and well received as last year's. ..89-- I Had the Craziest Dream Eleven o'cIock. The bell rang. Prompt- ly the students filed in and by eleven-thirty all were lounging in their leather easy chairs. Piled on their individual mahogany bookracks were their textbooks: Esquire, Kings Row, Evilman Comics, and lnhuman Detective. The door opened. ln burst Bob Pinker- ton and Dick Hume screaming at the top of their lungs, Ice cream here, giant ice cream, only a penny a quart. What, a whole penny for a paltry quart? Outrageous, yelled Harold Stouf- fer, who then proceeded to pick up a pencil and thrash the two boys soundly. Things went on as usual. Jane Williams copied Barbara Ryan's French, D. J. Muns and Barbara Hansen sat upright, not saying a word to each other, and Don Parsons hud- dled quietly in a corner, completing some extra work in addition to the day's assign- ment. Bobbie McCleary, as usual, gave a long tirade denouncing as sheer nonsense all students who skipped school, made wise- cracks, or knitted in class. Ho-hum, the same things every day. The swinging doors flew open, the piano player stopped, the soda-jerk gulped and dived for cover, and in strolled the teacher, a tall, beautiful girl of nineteen with honey- colored hair and soft blue eyes. She wore a sweater and slacks and no shoes. Gazing over the class, she winked coyly at Fred Armour and slid onto her usual seat- George Minton's lap. The teacher sighed and said, Kiddies, it's such a lovely day that we'll have no les- sons. Let's all talk. Tom Cochran, Sumner Carlon and John Armstrong leaped up and screamed through their tears, Oh, please teacher, give us some work. Finally, under severe pressure, our peda- gogue reluctantly agreed. Shrugging her shoulders she sobbed, All right, we shall read today those classic poems, 'Stop Wink- ing at the Quarterback, Mother, He lsn't Making Those Passes at You,' 'She Used to Call Me Darling Maxie, til I Made Her Pay for the Ride in the Taxi,' and 'The Band Was Playing Begin the Beguine As I Chased Little Nellie Around the Mezzanine'. The students clapped for joy and started to work. Then the bell rang. No one moved. Everyone kept on studying. Come kiddies, time to go home, purred the teacher. Up jumped Jack Schlosser who gently hit the teacher with a pop bottle iemptyi. Chuckling fiendishly he muttered, Ha-ha, now we can do some more work, More work, longer hours, less vacations, ha-ha- hal Ring . . . ring . . . ring went the alarm clock. I awoke in a cold sweat terrified at the horrible picture I had just seen in my dreams. Ah, school was never thus. B. H. S. Student Handbook Things, Places, and People, every Stu- dent should know.
