George A. McCormick Superintendent of Schools lakh fda! Sec reta ry Muskingum College, AB. University of Pittsburgh, M. Ed. Rather than attempting to parallel my remarks to the theme of the Shingas, I wish to utilize this space to convey my compliments to the present class and to the classes of the last three years for maintaining the annual publication'of our school year book. During these war years it has been extremely difficult to secure materials and to get jobs finished as promised but, in spite of almost unsurmountable obstacles, the Shingas has been published on schedule and with ever increasing attrac- tiveness and efficiency. This achievement represents competent sponsorship, efficient staff organization and co-operation of the Senior Class. My compliments are not merely the routine expres- sion to each succeeding class but I believe these com- pliments represent the sincere feeling of all classes of the school, the faculty, the Board of Education, and the many friends of Beaver High School. Without the Shingas the school year would not be'complete, its publication is a definite service to our school as it gives a summation of the school activities and personnel that cannot be found elsewhere. This is one of the many fine traditions of B. H. S. that a class can afford to maintain. If years of depression and world war could not stop the publication of the Shingas, it certainly has shown itself worthy of our respect and best wishes for continued success. Congratulations, classes past and present, and may nothing ever prevent the annual publication of the Shingasl XZLCCQ 7Pfi3ta2,,,a,,4i T9-.

,fl ApPREc During the four years a class is in a high school it has many sponsors. Their objective is to advise, counsel and guide the class in its many projects or activities with two major purposes in mind-to make each activity successful in itself and to build up the treasury in anticipation of the largest and most important project of all-publica- tion of our Shingas. Therefore, at this point, we, the class of l946, pause to express our sincere thanks to Mrs. Niedergal, Mrs. Simmons, Mr. Mowery, Miss McKinley and Mrs. May, the sponsors of our first three years for their wise counsel and sound advice in guiding us successfully through those years. To Mrs. May, again, as one of our Senior sponsors, we respect your guidance in the P-nut brittle sales campaign and the IATION selection of our Commencement Announce- ments. To Mrs. Cummins, we acknowledge your efforts in keeping our class stimulated with suggestions, counsel, and ideas in our class activities from the Hallowe'en party through the casting, directing and produc- ing a class play to which we can point with a great deal of pride. To Mr. Paterick, our Shingas Adviser, we recognize your friendly advice, sound judgment and unlimited patience in super- vising our efforts in making our Shingas a success. For all these many encouragements we can scarcely find words to express ade- quately our appreciation and gratitude, but as we say goodbye we want you to know that our thanks are really sincere. -3-.

C. S. LINN, Principal Clerk A W Crove City College, B.S. University of Pittsburgh, M.Ed. lt has been my happy privilege to be associated with many of the members of the Class of l946 for a number of years, I have observed with interest your progress and develop- ment through these years and now you have reached your highest goal in the senior year in high school. You have achieved success throughout your four years in high school. Your class has many outstanding students, ath- letes and leaders in extra-curricular activities. Under the capable leadership of your class the student council has been revived and has done a splendid piece of work in providing leadership in this fine organization. The climaxing achievement of all classes is the publica- tion of a successful Shingas. You have shown the fine results of cooperative effort by publishing a year book of high stand- ard, Not only do the staff and sponsor deserve credit for their splendid work but the class as a whole for their efforts throughout the four years in making it possible to publish the Shingas. As the school year draws to a close we pause in our hap- piness to give thanks that the great world conflicts have ended. Many of our high school men and women served their country faithfully and we are proud of their achievement. As we gradually return to normalcy we become aware that the most effective means of avoiding a recurrence of such a conflict is through education. As future citizens may you all do your part to strengthen and develop the great educational system of America. AJ
