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.
