WALLACE EWING t Custodian- Crymnasium and Auditorium Studios 1-ley Chiefln- May we borrow your keys?',- When can we get in the gym to decorate? - Will you let the ropes down?,'- What about lights?',-- YVhen can we get into the auditorium for rehearsals? -These are only a few of the hundreds of questions, complaints, and remarks which can be heard headed for the ears of Mr. Wallace Ewing every day of the school year. Of course, sometimes you have to look several places before you can find him, but when he is finally located, a cheer- ful smile and happy greeting makes everyone glad to look for Chief Born in Ewings Mills, Pennsylvania, near Coraopolis, on July ZZ, 1879, Chief, has always lived in this vicini- ty. His father was the owner of the Flour Mill of that town. As a young boy, he worked on farms, and then at the age of 17, he became an apprentice in Pittsburgh to a wagon blacksmith. After completing his apprenticeship, Mr. Ewing was employed by the James Lowery Embalm- ing Co. During his years in the employment he met and married Miss Jane Bussler. In the summer of 1910, Joseph Horne sent the Ewings to this valley with the '1Chief,, in charge of all deliveries in this district. At that time, material came in by train and from there it was up to him to deliver it to any place consigned. In 1926, a change of delivery service resulted in the elimination of this job. For three years thereafter, Treadwell Construction Company was the place of employment of Mr. Ewing. When, in 1929, the School District was in need of a caretaker for the Auditorium and Gymnasium, uChief', Ewing was selected for the job and has been fulfilling the duties of this position ever since. This completes 16 years of continuous service in this capacity. Although his duties cover a multitude of activities ranging from supervising dancing, to tending Hres, or repairing fixtures, to cleaning up after various activities, Chief never lets his work get him down. With a cheery smile or a jovial remark, he often snaps a student or faculty member out of a bad dose of the blues. Anyone can readily see the enjoyment he gets out of youthful companionship. His pleasant disposition has won for him a host of friends across the years he has been con- nected with the school system. His reputation for seeing the brighter side of life will be remembered long after his days of active duty as building custodian are finished. With these few recollections of his many kind deeds and natural understanding of the needs and wants of students, it seems quite fitting and proper for our class to show, in a small way, our appreciation to him by dedi- cating this-the 1945 edition of the Shingas-to our good friend and constant helper - Mr. Wallace Q'Chief Ewing. f, QF 56 7 k 0 gf 4?

' 'x aiafx its l ali M So Proudly We Hail gE.CCC'C' r fCfCffErrrctccEf'5 May we, who are here today, and thinking pri- marily of traveling the usual paths in securing an education, pause briefly in recording the year's events, to pay tribute to those who have entered the armed forces of our country, to fight for lib- erty and honor. In the brighter days to come, may these words be a constant reminder of their valiant deeds and sacrifices. It is with great pride that we look upon and count these men and wom- en as our friends, fellow classmates, and teachers of Beaver High School. We pause first in memory of those friends, graduates of Beaver High School, who have paid the Supreme Sacrificef' Their laughter is stilled although it lingers in the halls, their cries are silent, although they still ring out on the athletic field. They are no longer with us in person, but the memory of them will be with us forever. They had a job to do and they did it. Perhaps that is the finest tribute we can pay them, unless it is this: that we, too, shall learn from them, that whether we win or lose in lifels battle, it is the effort put forth, and the manner in which it is done, that counts. Perhaps the Book of all books expresses it better than any poor words of ours could do- He who loses his life shall find it.

Instructors in many different lines of study have exchanged their positions of security for the uniforms of our Army and Navy. Some 'L of these will be back again, we hope, to pick up the broken threads of contact and resume teach- ing activities in Beaver High School, others may choose different paths or occupations. But all of them will be remembered as loyal friends, ad- visers-and as ones who have ably given us guid- ance. Jack D. Brammer ,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,, Army Wm. L.

Navy Last, but certainly not leastf, to use an old adage, are our fellow classmates, members of the class of '45, who have left the ivy-covered Walls of B. H. S. during their Junior and the first part of their Senior year. Snatched from the class- rooms and from the normal life they were living, these boys have taken, in their stride, all the prob- lems and complexities of a man in the armed forces, and have emerged competent soldiers of our nation. It is our sincere hope that these- our classmates-who have answered the call, 'will be able to return to us in the near future safe and sound, but in the meantime, those of us who re- main extend to them the wish for the good luck and success in whatever endeavor they may be placed.

Glen Anderson Vice President Board Virgil E. Bennett J. Ralph Patterson Claude Nelson l W. Edgar Kaye President ol School Directors The Beaver Board of School Directors con- sists of seven members who are elected for a period of six years. The dates of election are alternated so that the personnel of the board does not change entirely at one time. Of the seven active members three are graduates of Beaver High School. Mr. Charles Snitger, also a graduate of Beaver High School, is a member of the board but is now serving in the Navy and his place is being filled by Mr. John M. Horter. All of the members have either attend- ed the Beaver Schools, had children in the school, now have children in school or soon will have children in school. All members are property owners in Beaver, represent an inter- esting cross-section of professions and are high- ly educated men with a sincere interest in the welfare of the schools. The officers and mem- bers, in addition to those pictured, are: Isabella Kenah fnon-memberl, secretaryg Philip Pot- ter fnon-memberl, treasurer, Charles R. Snit- ger lin military servicel. Robert O. Davis John M. Horter President 5.5-EC 5 of Stutlfoi GEORGE A. McCORMICK The theme set forth by this yearls Shingas is quite fitting to the era in which we are living. The ever changing stagen upon which we as actors,' are being called upon to play our separate and collective parts challenges the very best qualities which we can develop. Not least of these qualities essential to being a good actor in this great life play is tolerance, or better ex- pressed, an appreciation of the talents of the other actors. No really great actor has ever risen to true greatness by taking unfair advan- tage of his fellow-actors or by refusing to be- lieve that minor parts are essential to the suc- cess of the play. Class of 1945, it is my sincere wish that you have mastered all the essential requirements and will play your parts on the great stage of life in a manner highly commendable to your fellow actors and satisfactory to your own con- science. Your teachers and parents have sin- Superintenclent of Schools Muskingum College, A.B. University of Pittsburgh, M.Ed. ISABELLA KENAH Secretary .LMA MM cerely tried in these days of rehearsal to set the stage in a manner which would be most helpful to you. So, as you go forth to varying heights of success in the years to come, may I suggest that you keep a small place in your hearts and minds for fond recollections of these happy school clays when your part may have seemed quite minor but when in reality you were practicing faithfully for a more im- portant part in this great play of life. ff WL ' ffifrprrrccg - --.- il 1 1, Vice Presidente of Studio t1:rLEL'CL'CECfgL-EL.L.EEL-Efgjlfb Cf!! Each year the members of the Senior Class look forward to their final year of high school with enthusiasm and eagerness. The oppor- tunity for which they have been in training three years has arrived and now they are ready to exert that important quality of leadership in the life of the school. The Class of 1945 accepted the challenge of leadership and set forth to make their Senior year a real success by publishing an outstand- ing yearbook. The most important project of the Senior class is the publication of the Shingas. The staff and adviser, Mr. Paterick, have worked long and diligently to produce this yearls Shingas. The theme they have selected is well chosen for a yearbook. In the Shingas we each have our place of responsibility. How well we accept the opportunities and responsibilities in school is a measure and prophecy of our place in future years. May this be a challenge to Principal of Beaver High School Grove City College, AB. University of Pittsburgh, lVl.Ed. Columbia University MARY G. GROVE Clerk you to do your best in whatever capacity it may be and to strive for a higher place in the many worthwhile opportunities that present them- selves. As the year draws to a close, I want to take this opportunity to thank the members of this year's graduating class for your cooperation and wish for you the largest measure of suc- cess in the coming years. Nor have we forgot- ten those members of your class who have an- swered our country's call. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them in the great service they are rendering. .4 Jam cf mi. -Q- Eigl isers to the Stars ff YCEL' E55 'AKIEEE rlgrrrcg-1: On the set of Beaver High School, each freshman player, from his entrance as one of the mob, looks for- ward to the day when he, too, may become a Star, a member of the Senior Class. When the long awaited day on which they assume that role arrives, it is a major event, for around the Stars, most of the activity of the set is centered. In 1941, the present senior class embarked on this production. Miss Ruth Morton, and Mr. Eugene Moffett gave us the basic foundation as to how to organize and start the treasury. Then in the sophomore year, Mrs. Betty Davidson and Mr. Herman VI Mowery gave us assistance in selling food at the football and basketball games. Last year, Mrs. Evelyn Douglas and Miss Elizabeth McKinley gave us a real boost. During the magazine sales we cleared the largest profit ever made in such a campaign. We started the senior year with about 5500 in the treasury. Even so, we found it necessary to take on a project to earn more money toward the Shingas, due to advanced prices. So, with the aid of Mrs. Cummins and Miss Anderson, we set about to increase our treasury. The result was the Peanut Brittle campaign in which we raised approximately 5150. Even though Miss Anderson was new to the job of sponsoring a Senior Class, we feel that she has done a very fine job and everyone is extremely grateful to her. At the beginning of the year when we were wondering if the conditions of the war were going to hinder us any in the proper procedure of graduating, Miss Anderson cli- rected us in ordering our announcements and cards early enough to assure prompt delivery. During the time of the class play and at commencement time, she gave us invaluable aid in the business and other activities con- nected with the closing of the last year in high school. A very essential part of the Senior Class is Mrs. Cummins, whose knowledge and wisdom concerning mat- ters pertaining to the graduating class is unlimited. For many years she has helped the officers of the class to per- form their duties to the best of their ability. In the spring, the annual Senior Class play has always met with enthusiastic approval by the school and the public and is largely due to Mrs. Cummins, untiring efforts. Another task of the Seniors, that of selecting and presenting a class memorial to the school, is often a result of her ingenious thinking. Although Mr. Paterick is not a sponsor, his work as Shingas adviser parallels that of the sponsors and because of that tie he works in close harmony with them. The work of the class in accumulating money, under the di- rection of the sponsors, is climaxed in the publishing of the Shingas by the class, through the Shingas Staff under the guidance of Mr. Paterick. It is his responsibility to see that the money is wisely spent and that the results will be such that the Senior Class as well as the whole school will be proud of the Hnished product. Every senior who is selected for the staff feels that it is an honor to work with Mr. Paterick, in this very important project. In addition to everything already mentioned, we are not unmindful of the suggestions made to improve plans and advice cheerfully given to ease daily chores. And so to you, the sponsors of the class through former years in high school and particularly to Mrs. Cummins, Mr. Paterick and Miss Anderson, our present ones, we wish to extend our sincere thanks, and, in clos- ing, we can truthfully say that words cannot expressn all the gratitude we owe you. l l i CE Directors trrcg CEE Citrccrtrgrrzrcrcfff Geneva College, AB.

Before the opening of the kitchen, a nutri- tion course was given the waitresses and cooks to aid them in understanding how to plan better and more nourishing meals. A course in consumer buying was also oH7ered, and through this the members of the staff were able to buy more and better food, meanwhile saving the studio money. With such an economical start, the kitchen opened around the middle of September. Several experts in the Home Economics field visited the kitchen and offered helpful suggestions to the staff. As the staff learned more about cooking and meal planning, they prepared a highly commendable dinner for the studio producers in December. To- ward the turn of the year rationing problems be- came much more severe, causing the kitchen to be converted into a sewing room. Many of the staff joined the Sewing Department of the studio. Some of those who did were experienced seam- stresses, others were not previously experienced. Because of these untrained, the sewing class began at the beginning. Among the first scenes were patching, learning the different seams and learning how to make button holes. To this practice the girls readily adapted themselves, and it wasn't long be- fore they were making outfits for themselves. Many of them learned quite rapidly and went on to making costumes for other productions on the studio. In addition to making their own ward- robe and making costumes for the studio, they al- so contributed to organizations and individuals outside the studio. At the end of the year, a fashion show was presented. In this the girls wore the products of their own making. Some of this appeared very difficult but the girls seemed very proud of their accomplishments. Some of the products were shorts, dresses, pajamas, house- coats and suits. Several of the girls went to the extent of making suitable accessories for their out- fits. A business and social gathering of the staff was held on the second Monday of each month. Ninety members constituted the club and the lead parts were played by Mary Case as Presidentg Dolly Garvin, Vice Presidentg Eleanor Stout, Sec- retaryg and Winnifred I-Iavenhill, Treasurer, who helped Miss McKinley, the director, in the super- vision of a group which has given much to the success of the studio. -50- 'Che Dough Girls HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Top Picture- -Hack row: Jane Caslvonrne.

LATIN CLUB We came then to the set of the Latin scene, starting on the production of The Sign of the Cross, the story of a Roman gladiator and his quest for honor and the love of a fair maiden. We saw Roman costumes of the common people and the upper classg we heard the Latin language in useg and we watched the players carrying on cus- toms of the ancient Romans. Quite often native songs were sung which added to the gaiety and au- thenticity of the production. During the produc- tion an impressive Christmas gathering was held. This party proved very enjoyable because at that time even more was known about the country. Only those who were studying the Latin language for their second year were permitted to join the cast for this production. A highlight of the scene came at the beginning when a picnic was held which was a very good way to begin the year. In order for the actors to have a better understand- ing of the Roman people, each member of the cast studied Roman history and practices as well as the language. Appreciation of the ancient Romans was gained from this study. Players read Latin myths and poems to gain further knowledge in that line. On the third Wednesday of each month the cast could be found busily at work in the studio. Under the experienced and able direction of Miss Morton, the production met with great success. The stars in order of importance were Gordon Hassel, Presidentg Nancy Armstrong, Vice Presidentg Jean Ann Barnes, Secretary, and James Staley, Treasurer. -52- gffffff Q., E -L it- Brazil -ws 5 L' L55 ftfircrirrrigcg - .1 ,Y Back row: Joseph Boeh, Lauress Miller, Richard Evans, Edward Freed, Robert Schleiter, Glenn Weller, Robert Barton, James Clarke, Richard VVanner.

SPANISH CLUB On any motion picture lot one of the policies most rigidly observed is that of building close cooperation between nations. To that end, on our lot, we find one set dedicated to the Spanish- American relations. Luces, cameras, actiongl' these words which in English mean lights, cam- eras, action, were heard as we came upon the set. Production began on the last Tuesday of Septem- ber and continued on the last Tuesday of each month. Skits off the set were presented to aid the cast in their understanding of the scene. A high- light of the year's preparation came at Christmas when a gala party was held in honor of the Span- ish Navidad. At this festival, the customs of the Spanish people at Christmas time were carried out in the form of Spanish games and other practices. Throughout the action, the Spanish newspaper, El Echo, was distributed among the players. Production on the set was aided by this paper, through further explanation of Spanish policies, as well as through discussions portraying incidents from the lives of the people. Work in the scene continued until May and during this interval the cast became thoroughly conversant with the cus- toms May, when and language of the Spanish people. In another feature event of the scene occurred a Spanish picnic was held with most of the scene spoken in Spanish, and with the whole cast of sixty participating. The stars of the produc- tion were Mary Case, Jean Archer, Eleanor Stout and Robert Schleiter, and the scene was under the direction of Miss Anderson. From the work on this movie, both stars and other players gained a better knowledge of the Spanish people and their customs. -53- -lp L' Thousands Cheer ct-ELEL-'cccgffftrr1:cl:rcC'f l Back row: Edward Freed, James Strous.

Without its stirring music, every studio would be minus a vital part. The striking colors and exciting rhythms presented by the band make it one of the most popular and entertaining groups on the lot. All around the set, inside as well as outside, we heard the strains of its tunes as we visited the studio. Earlier in the production, practicies were held three days a week for this talented group. When the weather prevented outside practicies marching was held only twice a week. Later in the year the earlier method of three practices a week was again adopted. Under the competent direction of Mr. Dominico Caputo, it achieved much to keep everybody in high spirits. Wanda Anzio, the student leader, led the players to strains of popular marches. One of their big achievements was the appearance at football games, where they showed much talent during halves. The enthusiastic playing of the group helped spur the team to many a victory. In Feb- ruary and April, special concerts were given by the band with other musical groups. These con- certs met with much success and very greatly applauded by the rest of the set. Outside the set, the musical members also show their ability. In Cctober, the band marched in the annual Hallow- e'en dance in New Brighton. Such a fine per- formance was presented at the Armistice Day parade that the B. H. S. band walked off with second prize. The band also marched in the Dec- oration Day parade. Always present to keep the spirits of the cast high, the band has had a very favorable year and without it none of the other productions would have been quite so successful. 54 -- C CCKKEEE fl-- ing Foot Light Serena e -,.

Always willing and anxious to help, the orchestra spends much time on the set. When not in actual use for a produc- tion, the music makers spend much of their time in practice in order to always be prepared if called upon unexpectedly. These practices are held on schedule several days a week at a desig- nated time. In his second successful year, Mr. Dominico Caputo, conductor of the orchestra, has done much to improve this musical group as a whole and to develop the talent of each individual member. Under their able and experienced lead- er, the players have learned much in the field of the classics, as well as in the syncopation and pop- -55 ular field and each member looks forward to the three practices every week. These players, ranging from the seventh grade through the twelfth, must have good technique as well as the ability to read music. The organization not only supplies the background for all productions, but also sees to the entertainment of the personnel of the set. At times, they venture from the scene to play for different outside organizations. In February, with the studio band and chorus, they presented a pro- gram in the form of a concert. In May, almost at the end of the year, they presented the annual Spring Festival. In all, the orchestra is a very valuable and essential part of the studio and much thanks should be extended to its members for their unfailing work. occ'-'Life i -1- il Born to Sing .fCCCCCfL-L-l.L.EtEEECfL Cf! l Back row: Marilyn Gordon, Delores Harris, Eleanor Graham, Doris Gray, Betty Scott, Mary Jo Cascio, Ruth Cool, Anna Camp, Nancy Cunningham, Kitty Lou Knowles, Patricia Whiteliill, Phylis Hawthorne, Gloria Snitger.

CHORUS From behind the sets we heard the soft strains of a lullaby or a ballad. Stopping whatever we were doing, we listened intently as many soft voices blended into one. This music furnished by the chorus raised the spirits of all within hearing and all went back to their work with renewed enthusiasm. For their first year with Mr. Caputo as director, they really have made a fine showing and we, on the set, are proud of them. Tt's easy to hear how much they have accomplished since the begining of their production. The compliments which they earned are just compensation for the time and hard work they have spent in turning out some very beautiful selections. The chorus is made up of some fifty female voices, each one exhibiting unusual musical talent. In the spring, when the Spring Festival was pre- sented, the chorus played an important part. Their choral numbers and solo pieces were highly appre- ciated and enjoyed. The chorus also entertained the rest of the studio in assemblies and at personal appearances during different holidays during the year. Among these holidays were Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Truly this group has done much in the entertainment field and added much to the suc- cess of several pictures. 56 -- ct L.

BOBCAT CLUB V After trying for almost two years to obtain the necessary aid and equipment, the studio was suc- cessful in opening our own studio canteen at the beginning of the present year. Those permitted to attend canteen affairs included the present em- ployees of the studio and Servicemen who were formerly members of the staff. Many and of varied types were the Saturday night dances. A few of the dances were held on Thursday or Fri- day. One of the most novel dances was the 'QBarn Dancen at which everyone wore loud plaid shirts or overalls in keeping of the spirit of the evening. Square dancing and Paul Jones provided fun for all who attended. Another of the main dances was the Christmas Semiformal, at which an or- chestra provided the music. Also in March an orchestra was hired to provide a change from the records. Several of the dances were in honor of school organizations, such as the Band, Orchestra, and Basketball team. The studio records supplied the tunes at the majority of the skirt and sweater dances, sponsored by the club. Coca-Cola was sold at the unique Coke bar, donated by the Coca-Cola Company of Beaver. The Q'bar add- ed greatly to the appearance of the canteen. The canteen was open from 8:00 o'clock to 11:00 olclock. Members of the studio could come or go at any time during the course of the evening. Directed by Mr. Smith, the dances were success- ful and very enjoyable. By the middle of the year, over 200 of the studio cast were members of the ever-growing club. Dues of one dollar was paid at the beginning of the year by most of the members. This entitled them to attend any of the twenty dances given. Those who preferred to pay as the dances progressed were charged twenty-five cents each evening. The officers of the club were: Joey LoCascio, president, Dorothy Jones, vice president, Kaye Lewis, secretary, Martha Netherland, treasurer, Richard Shaw, general chairman. -57..

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY In one of the display cabinets located in the front corridor of the studio, hangs a certificate that many of the cast have often passed, but never stopped to read. That certificate signifies our high schoolls membership in the National Honor So- ciety of Secondary Schools in the United States. Our studio is known as the Alpha Chapter of this society. During the first three years of studio life and action the various players build a record upon which they are judged during the latter part of the third and throughout the fourth year. While there are many characteristics on which to be judged, the number has been condensed to four outstanding qualities-scholarship, character, serv- ice, and leadership. By the end of the third Year these qualities have been well enough developed so that a limited number of members may be taken in, usually about five per cent. During the first semester' of the last year more people are closely observed for further development of these desirable characteristics and in January of each year up to ten per cent more or fifteen per cent of the entire class may be added to the membership list. Twice each year an impressive initiation cere- mony is held in assembly, with two purposes in mind. One of these is to publicly recognize those who have, by personal effort, developed to a high degree these fine qualities and the other reason is that by this example each year, others in the high school may be inspired to work toward this goal. It has been generally found that those who have been members while in high school have contin- ued to show these characteristics in their college careers, work, or whatever they set out to do. ..53...

Hep, two, three, fourli' The familiar sounds of the Victory Corps with its precision drilling and sharp disci- pline, catches everyonels attention and admiration. The Victory Corps has become a national high school organization, sponsored by the American Legion, with one of its leaders being Captain Eddie Rickenbacker. Our Corps, organized in 1943 at semester time, under the leadership of lVlr. Smith, has completed its third year. Since that time they have improved and built up until it is now operated with utmost skill and efficiency. From classes held in the gym, the Corpsmen learn the school of the soldier, as well as courses in map reading, radio, Army organization, First Aid and photography. Each boy receives the soldier's handbook and I. D. R. Infan try Drill Regulationl. Each of the three daily classes form a platoon which acts as a company on parade. The three platoons join to form a battalion formation. The Corps, uniform is outstanding and trim, yet plain. It consists of black shoes, socks, trousers and tie, white shirt with official Victory Corps insignia worn on the left sleeve. The ratings and commissions are not un- like those of Army regulation. Like the Army, the class has urookiesf' Also like the Army, the rookies stum- ble about in confused bewilderment at the first touch of military environment. However, within a few weeks the whole battalion moves in unison, and with clock-work precision. The Corps has taken first ' prize at the Armistice Day parade the two consecutive years in which they have marched. The objective of the Corps is to pre- pare the boys for military service. Let- ters received from former members now in the service are unquestionable testi- mony to its complete success.

E' LH 1 - ' Between Us Girls CCI tntrtcgfcccccgff,.L-EE,-Egrfk In a conversation with Mrs. Simons, the direc- tor of this scene, we discovered much had been accomplished during the production. The all-girl cast of one hundred and five players, the largest group of its kind in the studio, had a four-fold purpose in the presentation of this novel movie- to develop themselves physically, mentally, spiritu- ally and socially. With these as the purposes, the all-star girls, cast got off with a bang in hopes of breaking box office records. Soon after the pro- duction began, the World Fellowship, of which Jane E. McCormick was chairman, drew up the constitution by which script the production was to be conducted. Many of the scenes of the movie were presented with a religious background, which lent a quiet and solemn air to much of the per- formance. About once a month, a social event, usually a party, was given to develop the social part of the four-fold purpose. Part of the time was devoted to a formal dance which also assisted the cast in rounding out their four-fold purpose. The players in the cast of the movie were organ- ized into small groups or committees, each of which performed a separate function, which was essential to assure the best and most worthwhile production. Five such groups were formed. The World Fellowship Group, which has already been mentioned, had Jane McCormick as chairman, the other members were Donna Lee Courtney, Mary Edith Harvey, Betty Harley and Patty Turner. Eileen Morris and Sally Lindahl were co-chairmen of the Social Committee while their group consisted of Patsy Frymire, Norma Jean Howe, Sara Belle Segmiller, Nancy Brewer and Mary Case. The Program Committee, under Eleanor Stout and Lois Ann Courtney, were Mar- tha Howe, Phyllis Hawthorne, Patsy Whitehill, Barbara Kretchmar and Jean Archer. The Finan- cial Committee, under Anna Marie Leary, was constituted of Grace Hayward, Winnie Havenhill, Barbara Parsons and Jean Hays, while Joan Enig- son, Betty Anne Sheets, Betty Harper, Lois Ann Courtney and Nancy Armstrong, under Marilou Mace and Sylvia Trumpeter, composed the Dra- matic Committee. The heads of these groups were Stars, the committees, members of the Sup- porting Cast and Understudies. Occasionally, during the production, guest directors visited the set, giving aid and approval on the production and the manner in which it was conducted. The Star performers on the scene mln Which We Serve,', were Dolly Garvin, in the leading role, Grace Mecklem, vice president, Norma Burton, secretary, Elaine Graham, corresponding secre- tary, Jean Fuerst, treasurer, and Dorothy Jones, assistant treasurer. Their experience in this type of acting helped make the production a very suc- cessful movie just as the four-fold purpose aided all the cast outside of the studio as well as in the presentation of this novel and different pro- duction.

This school is divided into two groups, those with previous training constitute one division, while the second group consists of those who were pre- viously untrained. The beginning group special- ized in breathing and position and also in this di- vision, a record was made of each voice at the beginning of the course and another recording was made at the conclusion of the training. At the end of the school year, a comparison was made of these two records for evidence of im- provement. These students learned all the essen- tials of public spealcing. The advanced group has made much use of this training in the presen- tation of programs for various organizations near the studio. Through this type of work they gained experience for bigger and better roles. A few programs were also presented by this group the entertainment of the rest of the studio's. One of the best of these was the Christmas program in which several of the second year students partici- pated to show the talent which had been devel- oped throughout the course. From this training the students learned to speak freely, correctly, Hu- ently and with poise. The dramatic school is under the very capable and experienced direction of Mrs. Cummins. The enrollment of the school is large and the students involved promise to be the stars of tomorrow. grrrzzrcr-L-L. vgm g Madame Curie fc '-aftrccrfgrrrlirrr .lm Back row: Richard NVarnner, Blanche Anderson, John McLaughlin, Barbara Kretchmar, Robert Schleiter, Doris Watson.

SENIOR SCIENCE CLUB From the next set we visited came a penetrating aroma of chemicals as the Stars and supporting cast continued work on the scenes of their scien- tific movie. As we talked with Mr. Reber, the director, we learned that the cast had been shown several movies which interested everyone on the set but were strictly along the scientific line. This greatly aided them in the understanding of the purpose of their work. Each player was free to perform his own experiments on the first Monday of each month. These experiments were usually of a chemical nature but often the stars more in- terested in Physics could be seen working with the electrical equipment. During the course of this production, many applications of scientific princi- pals were employed and the entire cast of fifty-two has benefitted greatly from this experience. Often at the monthly meetings, quizzes were given and sometimes those who had more interest in some particular scientific principle would speak to the group and further their knowledge along that line. Only those experienced in Chemistry, Pre-Induc- tion, or Physics were permitted to be a part of this set. And to make sure of an even better cast- ing, only those who wished to really contribute to the club were permitted to join, then the most ex- perienced players were permitted to play the lead- ing roles. Scientific curricular were read to keep each member of the cast up-to-date on the latest scientihc discoveries and improvements. This knowledge was a vital necessity to perform the best roles of the production. The main stars of the scene were John Marshall, president, Robert Albright, vice president, Darrell Miller, secretary- treasurer, and Mary Case, program chairman. l -63- CC Secret Command!

D EDITORIAL STAFF As the supporting cast moved into the Star role, the problem of selecting the staff of the '45 Shingas present- ed itself. The group, as a whole, had to be well versed in various fields in order to put into words and pictures all the activities of interest to the audience of Beaver High School. Each department of the staff had a special contribution to the yearbook, in which the theme was carried to perfection. To begin with, the art staff, whose work is first noticed, gives you the theme at a glance through their drawings and sketches illustrated through- out the book. Billie Gene Bickerstaff, Barbara Bates, Rosa Lee McClain, Mary Case and Pat Porter very ably presented this phase of the work. The next group we encountered was the Photography Department, to which Russ Richardson, John Marshall, Donna Anderson and Torvald Kvamme belonged. Arranging picture schedules, proctering when pictures were being taken and mounting the pictures before they were sent to the engraving com- pany was the basis of their work. The remainder of the Editorial Staff make up the Literary Staff, which was responsible for the other articles and explanations which further develop the theme. This work was done by Jean Archer, Clubs and Organization Editor, Leroy Stauffer, Football, Grace Hayward, Music Editorg Marilou Mace, Girls' Sports Editorg and Bill Roorback, Boys, Basketball Editor. Mary Ellen Patton, Gene', Morgan, Jean Fuerst and Dick Shaw contributed to the Features Department and Mitchell Turley was the Engraving and Printing Editor. Because material written by the staff has to be checked and rechecked before going to the printer, Elaine Graham was appointed as Literary Editor to fulfill this capacity. If you were to follow an article from idea to print, you would now see it go into the hands of any of the following typists: Bill Chisler, Marilyn Conrad, Katherine Ende, Irene Brown, Marion Pritchard, Bill Headland, Joey Lo Cascio, Earl Moorhead, Jane Mc- Kenry or Eileen Reigle. When it is typed and again rechecked it was ready to be sent to the printer. While all the detail work is going on, Robert Smith, Business Manager, and his assistants, Eleanor Stout and Ossie Feicht, are busy keeping the salesmen, Barbara Allan, Mary Lee Anderson, Mary Louise Davis, Winnie Havenhill, George McCormick, Anna Marie Leary, Jo- anne Gooch, Wanda Anzio, Helen Jegers, Norma John- son, Jim Somerville, Joe Houk, Gerry Scheidmantel, Rita Stenger, Robert Romig and Alberta Vesperman, busy getting your money to be used for the purpose of paying for this production. In the meantime the Editor, Jane McCormick, sees that the machinery of production is running properly, It is her job to see that everything gets done. War conditions have made us even more conscious of the shortages, but in spite of it all we bring you the production and we, the Shingas Staff of '45 are extremely proud to give you this picture of life in Beaver High School. -65-- A ' lk sg- E.

Once a month, usually dur- ing the last week, the Echo', was published and every one in the studio, including the directors, eagerly awaited its distribution. In order to get a clear understanding of the work involved in the publishing of the paper, we talked to the co-editors, Dolores Garvin and Jean Fuerst, to Barbara Bates, Business Manager, and to Miss McLaren, the Adviser. Early in the month the editors assigned the various articles to the staff members who had approximately two weeks in which to complete their articles. When all the articles had been turned into the editors and their adviser had checked the copy for mistakes, the article was sent to the typists. After the typed copies had been checked, the articles were sent to the printer, who printed copies of the articles and sent them back to be made into a udummyf' This dummy also was checked carefully for mistakes and returned to the printer who then printed a copy of the paper. After this copy was proof- read, the paper itself was printed. In the paper was gossip about the cast, activities on the many sets, and prevues of the completed pictures. The staff has done a fine job and kept the studio well informed throughout the year. -55.. -QS People!! grrzrrr 1:55 +5-iffrrccrffgfrfg Advertisement Eleanor and Noland Senior Class President Smith 'Vw V f l It X I The Gang -lchawf !!DaVy7!

In the year 1944, our studio produced two out- standing movies: Tish,', written by Alice Chadwick, and presented by the Senior Stars, and 'iwhispering Walls,', written by Mrs. Martens, and presented by the Junior Class. Both movies were very entertaining, Tish being a comedy, and 'iwhispering Walls,,, an eerie mystery, mingled with comedy. The plot of Wfishn was concerned with an old maid named Tish who, due to love for adventure, managed to get herself and her two friends, Aggie and Lizzy, into a peck of trouble. At the beginning of the movie, Tish had just persuaded Aggie and Lizzy to accompany her to a small southwestern town for a rest. From the time they arrive in town until the very satisfactory conclusions were reached, Tish continuously goes from one hilarious event to another. Directed by Mrs. Cummins, the acting was particu- larly good, and the movie was rated excellent by all. Entirely different from Tish,,' was the exciting mystery Whispering Walls,,, directed by Miss McLaren. The setting was a lonely old uwitch house,', haunted by spirits and ghosts, and inhabited by Dean Mattox, a crook whose features had been remolded by his evil accomplice, Rosmer. Because the doctor's niece, Thelma, refused to marry Mattox, she was held against her will, This action in the play is replete with eeriness and thrills and reached its climax when Nemo, a detective, whose brain had been tampered with by Dr. Rosmer, attempted to kill several people. Throughout the play, Queenie, the colored maid, and Mike Beggs, Nemo's guard, pro- vided much comedy. Both the dramatic and amusing sides of this movie were well portrayed for another fine studio hit. -58-. -1-is in -hir Yarsity Club Egg EFEECE-EEIFEEE fusel- Rzlck Row: I. Schwartz, C. Willoughby, W.

VARSITY CLUB More and more is stressed the fact or philoso- phy that a sound mind should be accompanied by a sound body, Especially is this true today, when strong, sound and alert bodies and minds are vitally important to the winning of battles, wheth- er in the cockpit of a Mustang, on board a des- troyer, or in a jungle in some far corner of the world. Most people were shocked to hear that approx- imately Z,000,000 American men of Army age have been turned down as being physically un- fit for the Armed Forces. Realizing the importance of athletics in the high schools, the Government has stressed physical training programs in the schools all over the country. The Varsity Club is organized to honor those who participate in the schoolis athletic program. The club,s membership is limited to those who receive a varsity letter in football, basketball or baseballg plus members of the coaching staff, fac- ulty manager of athletics, and the Superintendent of Schools. As a club, the main purpose is to furnish sweaters for the senior basketball letter- is the desire to devote time, energy and athletic ability to the encourage- men. As individuals, it ment of a good physical training program in the school. Sports 4 xg R Z-3 Y 4 on Y 'Q o' 9 v .Doa a ,Q 0 ov' Q e o Q ..70...

As no new members were elected this year, only those who were active in the group before were allowed to belong to the scene in 1944-45. These girls made a striking picture in red skirts, white sweaters and red beanies, They were chosen for their pep-rous- ing ability for the morale building department of the studio. Because the head Cheerleader is a star and leaves us every year, there remained the job of chosing that officer. This honor went to Marilou Mace. Others belonging to the cast for this production were the stars: Eileen Morris and Joey LoCascio. Phyllis Cooper, Betty Ann Sheets, Dottie Jones and Grace Mecklem were representa- tives of the supporting cast, while Sara Belle Seg- miller and Barbara Meadows were the under- studies. Great enthusiasm and untiring leadership by this cast was displayed during football season when they led the studio cast in pep rallies which roused the student body and pushed the team on to many a victory. The group is sponsored by Mr. Smith, who helped Work out new cheers which echoed through the studios of home and away. Through the work of their sponsor and their great school spirit, the Cheerleaders helped to bring about a very victorious year. These girls, although only nine in number, presented a very good production, which was truly something to shout about. ..72...

The banquet was held in the Guild Room of the Beaver United Presbyterian Church. F. W. Bowen, athletic director at Martinis Fer- ry, Ohio, High School, for the last 25 years, was the principal speaker. Mr. Bowen's topic was Always Preparing. After congratulating the squad on their present record, he talked about preparing for the future, both for the boys who are returning next season, and the boys who are going out into the world. Talking mainly of physi- cal development, he brought out this one state- ment: There is no limit to the heights an athlete can attain if he will seek constantly to improve a little every single day. Mr. W. W. Paterick was the toastmaster, while the invocation was pronounced by Dr. E. M. Nes- bitt, pastor of the Beaver United Presbyterian Church. Other speakers were: W. Edgar Kaye, president of the Board of School Directors, Superintendent of Schools, G. A. McCormick, Principal, C. S. Linn, Coach Leffler, Assistant Coach Pete Kane, Bill Van Horne, Martin's Ferry sports writer, and Mrs. Ralph Patterson, presi- dent of the Mothers Auxiliary. Each speaker complimented the team and coach- es on their fine showing during the past season. The Mothers Auxiliary also was to be congratu- lated for the splendid banquet they prepared and served, and for the encouragement they gave their sons and the coaches during the season. Mr. Linn complimented the team on its sportsmanship and also on their scholastic record. He presented let- ters to 19 members of the Bobcat squad. Two boys, Milt Patterson and Dick Scherrbaum, head- ed the list as four-year lettermen. The other let- termen were Robert Albright, David Cameron, Paul Courtney, Harold Firestone, George Mc- Cormick, John McMahon, Richard McMahon and Thomas Moldovan, seniors. Juniors were James Buckenheimer, James Clarke, James Schwartz, Richard Gridley, Dean Hawkins, Floyd Standley and Joe Taormina. Two sophomores received let- ters: Walter McIntosh and Cecil Willoughby. After Coaches Leffler and Kane thanked the boys for their cooperation in carrying out their orders and attending practice sessions faithfully, George McCormick presented gifts to Mr. Leffler and Mr. Kane as a token of the squad's apprecia- tion to the coaches. Zeke was elected Honor- ary Captain for the 1944 season by the rest of the team. Mrs. Patterson said that due to the wartime shortages the sweaters were not on hand to be given to the Senior members. Instead, she pre- sented each Senior with a miniature sweater com- plete with letter on the front and stripes on the sleeves as a reminder of the real thing to come. The banquet tables were arranged in the form of a square and decorated with heaps of apples, grapes and other fruit in nests of autumn leaves. James Buckenheimer played the school's Alma Mater as the men and boys filed into the ban- quet room, and he and LeRoy Stauffer enter- tained with a number of piano solos after the dinner. Following this splendid banquet the annual football dance, sponsored by the Sophomore class, was held in the high school gymnasium. The members of the football squad and their mothers led the grand march, while music for the dance was furnished by Lon Emmett and his orchestra. The banquet was a great success, and this year's seniors wish good luck and great success to next year's squad. ft Six Wins!! grrcgfcgccccflirrrctfctf if L CE L FINE START Opening their season with a 19-0 victory over the Midland Leopards, the Bobcats started a very successful season. Scoring in the first, third, and fourth periods, they easily outpointed the Leopards. The first six-pointer was produced after Hawkins re- covered a fumble on the Leopardys 18-yard line. Scherr- baum passed to Firestone for three yards and Bucken- heimer plowed through the line for a first-and-ten on the Midland six. On the next play 'QBucky hit pay dirt, but Albright's placement kick was wide. In the second quarter, the Leopards started a drive, but stellar line backing by McCormick and Standley stopped the drive. The second six-pointer resulted from a drive starting at the Beaver 38-yard line. After a series of plays including a 24-yard run by Taormina had put the oval on the Midland 13-yard marker, Scherr- baum threw a pass to Standley in the end zone for the score. Albright's placement was again wide. In the fourth period, Balint fell back to punt for Midland, but was tackled by McCormick and Standley on the 13-yard line. The Bobcats took over and in two plays Scherr- baum cut through tackle for the score. Hawkins, place- ment try was good, and the scoring ended. BEAVER 33 - ZELIENOPLE 6 Starting at the kickoff, the Bobcats rolled to their first touchdown. Scherrbaum made a first down and Taormina ripped off a 36-yard run to the Zelie 34. With Scherrs and Joe alternately carrying the oval, a touch- down was ours when Dick knifed over tackle for his first touchdown. Zeke McCormick set the stage for the second touchdown by intercepting a pass on the Zelie 23. A first-and-ten was made on the 13, and again Scherrbaum slipped off right tackle for the score. Hawkins kicked both extra points. A sustained march of 64 yards produced the third touchdown. Hawkins tried for the extra point, but was wide. The Purple and Gold scored early in the second half. Boras and Wardle alternately hammered to the eight-yard line, from where Toth tossed a short pass to Sweeney in the end zone. Bereis try from placement was blocked. In the fourth quarter, the Bobcats staged another drive to the Zelienople 13-yard line, where Scherrbaum raced around right end for the tally. The final score was made as Jim Buckenheimer plunged over from the four-yard line. Hawkins scored the final point via placement. BOBCATS TAKE SPARTANS In taking their third game of the season, the Bob- cats defeated the Leetsdale Spartans, 13-7, the first time since 1940. As soon as the Maroon and Gray got their hands on the ball, they went after and chalked up a touchdown. Leetsdale had made one first-and-ten and then were forced to kick. With the ball rolling out on the 11-yard TA 4. line, a 5-yard penalty put Beaver back to their own 6- yard line. However, on second down, Dick Scherrbaum turned in one of the finest runs of his career. Breaking through right tackle, he twisted, reversed his field, and sprinted down the sideline for 68 yards before he was overtaken by Harry Mason, Leetsdale's fleet-footed back, on the 24-yard line. With Buckenheimer and Scherr- baum carrying the brunt of the attack, the Bobcats car- ried the ball to the 5-yard line and Scherrs,' finally crashed over for the first score. Again, in the third quarter, the Bobcats got their attack rolling with passes from Buckenheimer to Fire- stone, and Scherrbaum to Taormina and Patterson. After passing their way to the DalersH 18, Dick again broke away for 16 yards and a score. Hawkins kicked the extra point from placement, and the Bobcats led 13-O. Early in the fourth period, the Spartans, led by Harry Mason, scored their only touchdown of the game. MONACA - FOUR FOR FOUR Held scoreless for three quarters, the Bobcats came to life and scored a touchdown in the fourth to carry their string of victories to four straight, a feat not ac- complished by the Beaver eleven since 1929. Most of the playing in the first half was done in Beaver Territory, with the Bobcats usually on the defen- sive. Every time the Indians threatened, however, the Bobcats tightened their defense. Late in the third quarter, the Bobcats made a definite scoring bid. After Dean Hawkins recovered a fumble on the Monaca 32-yard line, the Maroon and Gray drove to the Indians, four-yard stripe before they lost the ball on downs. Midway through the final quarter, Beaver punted out of bounds on the Monaca seven-yard line. Palumbois return punt was taken by Taormina on the Monaca 40, and brought back to their 32-yard line. Scherrbaum ripped off eight yards at right tackle, and cut over left tackle for twelve more, and a first-and-ten on the Indians, 12-yard line. l'Bucky', added six yards and Dick moved the sticks to the one-yard line. On the next play he smashed over right tackle for the score, but the extra point was smothered, making it Beaver 6, Monaca O. FREEDOM DOWNED BY BOBCATS Playing on a wet field in a soaking rain, the Maroon and Gray chalked up its fifth straight victory by taking Freedom Z5-0. For the first time since 1922, a Bobcat eleven turned in five straight victories. The scoring started late in the first stanza when Dick Scherrbaum turned in a sparkling 38-yard run. In the second quarter, the Bobcats punted to the Freedom eight- yard line, and, on the first play, the Bulldogs fumbled the ball. Dean Hawkins recovered, and Milt Patterson slammed over from his quarterback position for the score, which put the Cats ahead 12-0 at the half, The third quarter was a punting duel. In the final stanza the Maroon and Gray pushed over two tallies. After Beaver recovered a Freedom fumble, Clarke and Taormina carried the ball from the 15 to the 2-yard Iine, from where Jim Clarke plunged over. -7g.. LKIEEL' -u-a- Y Three Losses!?! Eff: The final score came as John McMahon intercepted a Bulldog pass and ran 48 yards to the Freedom 17-yard stripe. Clarke and Buckenheimer alternately carried the ball to the three-yard line, where the Bobcats drew a five yard penalty. Two plays later Joe Taormina knifed over left tackle for the score. Albrightls placement was good, BOBCATS DROP THRILLER TO ELLWOOD In one of the roughest games ever seen on Beaver's gridiron, the Ellwood City Wolverines gave Beaver its first setback of the season by a 14-7 score. In spite of losing the game, fans will long remember it in the per- formance of the Bobcats. In the Hrst period, the Maroon and Gray started rolling with a first down on their own 48. Taormina grabbed a bullet pass from Scherrbaum and raced to the Ellwood 18. Again they worked the same play for 13 yards and a first-and-ten on the Wolverines' 5-yard line, from where Buckenheimer and Scherrbaum carried the ball to pay dirt. Hawkins added the extra point by placement, making the score 7-O. The first Ellwood counter came during the third period when their running attack carried to the Beaver 2-yard line, where Desport smashed over for the score. Desport also scored the second six-pointer by intercepting a Beaver pass on the Bobcat 43 and sprinting down the sideline to touchdown land. Steve Mastilak, Wolverine placement specialist, added both extra points. The Bobcats made two thrusts into enemy territory, carrying the ball to the Ellwood 20 and 21 yard lines, but lost the ball both times. Throughout the game, the defensive work of Patter- son and McCormick was outstanding. BRIGHTON DOWNS BOBCATS Scoring in each period, the New Brighton gridders handed our Bobcats their second defeat of the season 28-6. After the bruising battle with Ellwood the week before, it was quite evident that the Maroon and Gray was not up to its previous peak. The first score came early after an exchange of punts. With Peluso and Haddox sharing the ball toting, the Crimson smashed 51 yards in seven plays for the first touchdown. Peluso place-kicked the extra point. In the second quarter, Peluso tallied on a 19-yard jaunt through left tackle. Later in this period, Peluso dropped back and booted a successful field goal on fourth down. In the third quarter, the Crimson drove to the Beaver 27, from where Edwards threw a beautiful touch- down pass to left end Ellis. Peluso's kick for the extra point was again wide. After a 45-yard return of a pass interception by Irwin, substitute back, in the final period the Crimson and Gold racked up its last six-pointer. Irwin carried the oval to the Beaver six, from where Saunders smashed over for the score. Irwin,s placement fell short. In the last period the Maroon and Gray reached the pay dirt. John McMahon intercepted a Brighton lateral on the 40-yard line, and two passes from Clarke to -l .17 Taormina carried the ball to the Crimson 21. Jim and Joe alternately carried the ball to the three-yard stripe from where the latter smashed across. BOBCATS DOWN VIKINGS Coming back after having lost two straight games, the Maroon and Gray toppled Hopewell Township at Aliquippa Stadium for their sixth win of the season. Although threatening many times in the first half, the Bobcats did not score. In the third quarter, Joe Dobal got loose and scampered 34 yards to cross the Bobcat's goal line, putting the Vikings ahead 6-O. After the kick- off, the Bobcats struck back with Taormina catching a pass and racing to the Hopewell three-yard line, where Scherrbaum crashed over to tie the score at 6-6. Hawk- ins, try for placement was low. Midway through the third quarter, the Bobcats again got their attack moving, striking through the air and on the ground in a drive of 52 yards to the 13. Scherrs faded back and heaved a bullet pass to Cecil Willoughby in the end zone, making the score 12-6. Bob Albright kicked the extra point. The Vikings came very close to scoring again, but on the last play of the game, a pass from the Beaver three-yard line into the end zone fell incomplete. The final score was Beaver 13, Hopewell 6. BOBCATS BOW TO RAMS In a very close game at Gypsy Glen Stadium, the Rochester Rams handed the Bobcats their third defeat of the season. Although the score board showed a 6-0 score in favor of the Rams, the Bobcat fans were not dis- appointed. Early in the first period, the Maroon and Gray made their scoring bid, but Rager intercepted one of Scherr- baum's passes, and the Rams marched to the Beaver 19- yard line before they were held for downs, From there the Bobcats carried the ball to the 42. After three tricky plays the pigskin rested on the 10-yard line. On the next play Supak made another of the six interceptions of Maroon and Gray passes to thwart this march. Another attack in the second quarter carried to the Blue and White 20, but the Rams held for downs. Toward the end of the third period, Rager inter- cepted a Beaver pass, and the Blue and White powered its way to the Beaver 5-yard line. The Bobcats put up one of the finest goal line stands ever seen on any grid- iron. Four times the irresistable force came forward to meet the immovable object. Four times the immovable object remained immovable and the ball rested on the one-foot stripe. Early in the fourth quarter, the Rams poured on the power after Beaver had kicked out of dangerous territory. Parelli crashed around left end for 11 yards and the only touchdown of the game. During the last few minutes, the Bobcats threw some desperate passes, but when the final gun went off, the Rams were in possession of the ball on the Bobcat 32- yard line. -79- Basketball rfb ,B Cfflffffcffffffrfctfff :cr 'B Beaver 47 ..,,,,.

LEADERS CLUB GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association, supported by a huge all-girl cast, presented one of the biggest productions on the lot. As we walked into the studio gymnasium, we were amazed at the fine group of actresses who had vol- unteered for this scene. Production for this set began early in the fall of 1944. Every Monday, girls could be seen paddling across the hardwood, knocking balls over nets, swinging on rings, playing ping-pong or other sorts of gymnastics which presented the different scenes of the set. Organized by the Physical Education Direc- tor, Miss Anna Margaret Sanderbeck, all kinds of tourna- ments and competitive games were presented with the help of various persons, including Joey LoCascio, Grace Mecklem, Barbara Meadows and Jean Archer, The pro- duction began with the soccer scene, in which almost all of the huge cast participated. The cast was divided into teams, each choosing a captain to direct them. Next in line were the volleyball tournaments. The setting and the time of this scene was quite different from that of the soccer scene. Soccer was playetd outside after school while volleyball was played inside every Monday night from eight to ten. The favorite scene for the actresses began around the turn of the year. All the cast had been eagerly awaiting the basketball scene to swing into production. More members of the cast were used in this scene than in any other one on the set. As we passed productions, a swimming party, a dance, a dancing or skating party were held for the cast as a reward for their fine work. A point system was used by the director and the Senior member with the greatest number of points was given a present for her outstanding work. May rounded out the production and the whole cast was sorry to leave the set but they were compensated by the fine production they had presented. One of the very important contributions to the set is that of leadership in morale building. This is carried out in many ways by various organizations, one of the most efficient being the Leaders Club, a group of girls chosen from the stars and supporting cast gym classes. These girls, chosen for their athletic ability, understand- ing and leadership in the Held, assist Miss Anna Mar- garet Sanderbeck, the instructor of the scene, in con- ducting the classes and aiding in the procedure of activi- ties. The qualities of willingness to participate, of sports- manship as well as of leadership and of ability, quickly adapted the Leaders to their duties of checking the roll, of organizing and of supervising competitive games and leading in drills and calisthenics. On each scene are four leaders dressed in white uniforms, socks and shoes to set them apart from the green-clad actors which they help supervise, members of this organization in the previ- ous year, have come back again with greater vim and vigor. These girls were Wanda Anzio, Joey LoCascio, Jane McCormick and Elaine Graham. Chosen this year by the stars remaining from last year and by the direc- tor, was another star, Gaile Thompson. Also selected to help with this production were Beatrice Hanley, Sally Lindahl, Grace Mecklem, Marion McElhaney and Bar- bara Kretchmar of the supporting cast of Jean Ann Barnes and Barbara Meadows of the understudies. Much time and effort is spent by these girls in aiding in the presentation of the annual May Day. As a special honor due this group for their Hne leadership, they are invited to attend each year the annual Aliquippa Play Day. This group of morale builders has proved very helpful and essential to the studio. -35.. 5 LF L' L',,I2Fg-ci CEE 3' - r . Something for the Boys c.CCl.' Rating a spotlight in the boys' curriculum in Beaver High is the Boys' Athletic Club-better known as the B. A. C. In addition to the regular gym classes to further the physical training pro- gram, the club has used the gymnasium for vari- ous sports, such as boxing, wrestling, football, bas- ketball and other sports which the boys seem to enjoy. The club was that of the Beaver High boys, own choosing and meets all of the qualificl- tions for the type of club wanted by the boys. Formerly, members of the Vocational Club were partial toward the gym, so this organization was formed along similar lines. Like most other intra- mural sports of the boys, this was under the super- vision of Mr. R. G. Smith. Early in the school year the club picked eight football teams which played each other as sched- uled. This was the six-mann type of football and was used mainly because it did not require as much coaching or time for practice. This phase of the program was concluded when the two all- star teams played the final game at Bouquet Park on Thanksgiving morning. Courtney Evans was captain of the winning team while Russ Richard- son led the losers. The winter months brought the even more pop- ular sport of basketball into prominence. As well as playing their own tournaments the club com- peted against the Reserves, Varsity, and the Hi-Y teams of several neighboring schools. Several of the games against the Reserves were played as the preliminary game on the home Hoor and proceed- ed to be rather exciting at times. This sport was enjoyed by all and seemed to bring out the ma- jority of boys. Boxing, wrestling, competitive calisthenics such as sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups and general gymnastic work were also included in the winter schedule. Many of the records were kept on file and it was always of interest to see the boys trying their best to out-do their friends and fellow schoolmates. This spring, when the sun beamed forth to warm the chilly air, our sports-minded classmates blossomed forth with the mushball in hand and topped off the year with a full schedule of this favorite summertime game. Realizing the aim of the modern schools to turn out well trained, coordinated, and exercised bodies as well as alert, keen minds, this club set about in earnest to accomplish this. Educators have realized that a sound body is essential to a sound mind. The cry of the nation, and particu- larly of the armed forces, is for the public schools to stress physical fitness. The B. A. C. has at- tempted to aid and enlarge the work of the gym classes to accomplish this. The club oHicers as they were elected are: president, George McCormick, secretary, Harold Firestone, and treasurer, David Cameron. i- ,-.

Postponing May Day because of rain had no effect on its outcome as was clearly shown by the compliments heard afterwards. It included many hours of patient planning and practicing. Under the competent direction of Miss Dee, who taught the various dances to the girls and arranged the careful preparation for the actual crowning ceremony, of Mr. Smith, who supervised the boys' calisthenics and the excellent show made by the Victory Corps, and of Mr. Caputo, who was responsible for the line music throughout, May Day, 1944, was indeed a great success. To begin the show, our stars, the Senior girls, the Victory Corps, and the May Queen and her attendants marched onto the field. This proces- sional was quite exquisite. The girls, in their pastel colored gowns, met their escorts, members of the Victory Corps, and formed arches up to the throne. Then the Queen, the Maid of Honor, and her attendants, took their places and the program began. A colorful little Minuet by the Freshman girls came first and along with it a Southern Medley by Freshman and Sophomore girls. Gayle Thomp- son, soloist, presented a modern interpretation of dancing. Coordinated calisthenic drills by a mixed physical education group portrayed young America's physical fitness. Gay Ninety Bellesf' very typical of the name, presented a dance com- mon to that period. The manner of these Junior girls was petite and very old fashioned, contrast- ing the 1800's to today. For novelty, Freshman girls did a Jump Rope Drill and many sighs were echoed as boys from the physical education group tumbled, many of their antics were very hard and showed much time and practice was given to their presentation. Junior girls in formals waltzed to the Merry Widow and as Santa Claus is to Christmas, so the May Pole Dance is to May Day. The Sophomore girls tripped the light fantastic around the May Poles, weaving in and out, round and about, and presented a very pretty and ex- quisite sight. Then the Victory Corps presented an Exhibition Show, featuring drills and move- ments representative of all service branches. The last, but long awaited for, crowning of the May Queen, gave to the program a dignity and setting unequaled in any past year. As the drums rolled, Jean Cameron, Maid of Honor, placed the crown over the pretty dark-haired May Queen, Lois Pinkerton, who, in her gown of white faille, looked very beautiful. Her attendants were Molly Scott, Mary Ann Wymer, Pauline Dailey and Patty Mc- Bride, also in white. This coronation gave to the program a perfect touch and as the bugle sounded retreat, another splendid May Day drew to a close. 4? , ff K C , E34 ,. -if 'Vg D . Z jf iff at ef I X, ....90, ig .

V ..f ' gfffffrffff SWING GN A STAR As Written by Gene Morgan A Frosh is a moron who roams ,round in the They are mostly short but some are tall, They never know what they're supposed to do, And when you speak, they stand and stare at So if you don't want to be a dismal Frosh, You'd better work to be a Soph. All the Sophomores don't come to school, They should follow the Golden rule, -Q. Script fc frrzcrgrrrcg hall, you, Then they think they,re smart 'cause they date, And then they get that rusty gate. A Junior is nothing but a wised up Soph, They get smart and Seniors tell them off, They're egotistical, think theylre alreet, But act as if their brains are in their feet, So if you don't like the Juniors and their stare, Then join the Seniors downstairs. All the Senior boys come Zoot, And the girlies are mighty cute. So you Junior kids get zoot, And try to get a Senior suit. A Senioris a very intelligent soul, Their school grades are never in the hole, They are the pride and joy of the school, You'd better not be such a fool. All you underclassmen with hopes, Don't tie your books up in ropes, Try to get in the Senior Class, 'Cause itis the graduating class.
