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

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.

.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
