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.

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.

G. A. McCORMlCK Superintendent, Beaver Schools GENERAL MAN!-UPEI! 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
