Many are they to whom we would feel justified in dedicating this year's annual. Dur- ing the discussion as to the merits of each, we tried to take into consideration the help, guid- ance, counsel and inspiration given during our four years in high school. After carefully narrowing the field down to a few, we analyzed our records of this year as well as those of previous years to determine who, in the main, was responsible for achieving and excelling all previous accomplishments. This quest led us directly to Mr. Paterick, who has served in the capacity of adviser clur- ing the past eight years. May we submit to you the facts which led us to this decision? Eight years ago, when Mr. Paterick assumed the advisership of the Shingas, about 400 books were published each year. During the years between then and now, sales have gradually increased until this year our sales totaled 675, the highest record ever set by any class of Beaver High School. Engraving plates have also increased in num- bers from an average of about 50 to 95 last year, and now this year we have 112 plates in the Shingas, thus showing that the book is Our Shingcls constantly becoming more and more a pictorial record of a year in Beaver High School. Padded covers, which have become a must on each year book, were added during his period of advisership. Always looking ahead to take advantage of highest discounts, as well as other types of sav- ings, to give increased services and pictures to the book, as well as inspiring salesmen to greater efforts, he has given each class the most for its money. His inspiration, experience in general makeup, careful supervision to detect and eliminate errors in copy, and his seemingly inexhaustible fund of ideas to give variety, yet continuity and attractiveness to the book are all but a small part of his efforts to instill in staff members the enthusiasm necessary to make our book the best yet. We feel that he has raised the standards of the book to the highest possible level and we know that the Shingas provides one of the greatest media for loyalty to Beaver High School. With these thoughts in mind, it is not diffi- cult to understand why we want to show our appreciation by dedicating this, the 1947 Shingas, to our friend and adviser, Mr. William Paterick.

Especially to MI' MOWCI' . y, as sponsor during our Sophomore year, we express our thanks for our successful parties. The M ' n to rs.

To lVliss Esenwein, as a new direc- t f h ' or o t e Senior Class Play, we are ha PPY1 in this sm Mr. Charlesworth, after returning from serv- ice in the Navy, stepped in as our Senior Sponsor. We feel that his untiring efforts in advising and guiding us through our many financial projects have contributed greatly in raising all funds necessary in the production of our Shingas. We are ever mindful of his efforts in the l'lallowe'en Dance, the sale of Christmas candles and the business manage- ment of our Class Play. For all these, we express our sincere thanks It is impossible to express adequately our gratitude to Mr. Paterick, our adviser, for the time, patience and effort he has put forth in helping us to produce our Shingas. His inex- haustible fund of ideas and suggestions will always be treasured in our lasting memories of B. H. S. all Way, to CXPFCSS OLII' gfalifllde. ..23d Robert O. Davis Charles Snitger Edwin S. Rowse, Jr Board of School Directors W. Glen Anderson President Claude Nelson W. Edgar Kaye Virgil E. Bennett Vice President - 24 .. Our Administration i The pictures, write-ups, and autographs of your school friends constitute an important part of your life at the present and I congratulate the Class of I947 on their publication of the Shingas thus giving their fellow-students this record of high school activities. The idea of developing the boolc as a diary is very logical and clever for in the final analysis the 1947 Shingas is a diary of Beaver High School for the year 1946-47. Regardless of the high regard you now have for your Shingas, I feel certain this esteem will increase as the years pass and you find yourself reliving these happy high school days through the pages of the yearbook. No doubt you have experienced some disappointments during your high school years, probably a little enviousness of a fellow student has arisen but these childish jealousies and misunderstand- ings will quickly vanish as the years pass and you will find yourself glorying in the achieve- ments of all your classmates and following their successes with a lceen sense of pride. The amazing fact, to those of us who are privileged to be associated with you during these formative years, is the manner in which each and everyone of you will fit yourself into this glorious American scheme of living, It is my sincere desire that your adjustment to adult living will be most satisfying and that you will always appreciate and cherish the freedom which is yoursg that is, to select your own voca- tion and those with whom you choose to asso- ciate down life's way. I ff 4? 'ZW fefiwtffl We Present Our Principal The Class of 1947 selected for the theme of this year's Shingas, the diary. This is a very unique and fitting theme for a book that por- trays a picture of the life and activities of the school for this year. All of these activities play an important part in your development and are a definite part of our educational program. It is interesting to loolc baclc a few years and notice the changes and improvements in our schools. There have not been radical changes in the school curriculum but the greatest change and advancement has been made in the development of worthwhile activities for our students. My association with the Class of 1947 during the four years has been very pleasant. You have had many obstacles to overcome and numerous fences to hurdle. I have watched with interest the development of your class to the place of leadership in our school. When you receive this publication you will have practically completed your high school career. During these four years you have had numerous experiences-successes and failures. You have had many happy associations and have made lasting friendships. I hope your high school experience has been fruitful, bene- ficial, and helpful to you and will be a guide and background for your future life. Z! -26- and Faculty jack D.

Under the able coach- ing of Pete Kane and Tom Carey the Maroon and Grey won seven, tied one and lost one, while rallying 99 points and holding the oppo- sition to 19. Pre-Season practice sessions began on August 18, and on the 25th a squad of about forty players, coaches and managers departed for Grove City College, where they drilled for a week. The routine of regular good meals, plenty of sleep and strict discipline went a long way in making the season a successful one. Coaches Kane and Carey,working with but four lettermen, built up a fine squad that will be remembered for a long time as a great team. CHEERLEADERS Standing: Betty Lou Stahlman SaraBt-lle Segmiller Barbara Meadows Kneeling: Mary Pinkerton Janice Hanlev Cheerleaders Dear Diary, Gee whizll You should have seen our sharp cheerleaders this year-especially when they did Center, End, Tackle, Guard. Their new sweaters with the megaphones sewed on the front were really snazzy. Seggie,,, our head cheerleader, did a keen job leading those peppy cheers. These girls sweated it out with the boys at Midland and Monaca and dripped through the Leetsdale game to victory. They also led our cheering section at basketball games with the help of the three newly-elected Sophomore cheerleaders: Connie Craft, Sally Jones, and Ruthie Johnston. Fifteen big rahs for the cheerleaders In i FIRST FOOTBALL TEAM Backfield-H. Smith, S. Boden, D. Hayes, T. Brodigan, D. Courtney. Linemen-W. McIntosh, F. Pritchard, G. Hassell, K. St Clair, E. Moravec, D. Rose, C. Willoughby. Dear Diary, Beaver topped Midland 13-0 in the seasonls opener. Midland fumbled on the first play, and Has- sell and McIntosh recovered. In four plays, Smith drew first blood for the Bobcats. The conversion was incomplete, and there was no more scoring mill the last stanza, when Wil- loughby snagged a 25-yard aerial from Brodi- gan. Tom then plunged through for the extra point. The game was played in sweltering heat, which fortunately didn't dampen the enthu- siasm. Dear Diary, The cats clawed Avalon nicely, outpointing them in every way. Starting from the 35-yard stripe, Brodigan climaxed a sustained drive by scoring on an off-tackle play. Then Smith dropkicked the ball over the crossbar to make it 7-0. The sec- ond quarter developed into a no-score duel. In the third quarter Boden and Brodigan did all the ball carrying and after 10 plays Boden carried it over from the six-inch line. In the last minutes, Avalon punted from their end zone. Quay blocked it, Beaver scoring two more points when Avalon recovered for a safety, making the final score: Beaver 15- Avalon 0. Dear Diary, The third win of the season was taken out on Leetsdale. Ed Moravec recovered a 'Daler fumble, and Brodigan passed to Willoughby, who took it to the 3, from where Tom took it over. Smithls conversion was good, and in the second quar- ter, he passed to Brodigan for another score. This time the kick was unsuccessful. The 'Daler T. D. came next, on the fleet feet of Bobin, who scored from the 45. In the final stanza, with Boden sparking the drive, Brodigan helping, the Bobcats drove 60 yards from where Hayes scored. Smith's kick was good and the game ended 20-6. -50- Dear Diary, Beaver squeezed out a hard 6-0 victory over Monaca on the Indians' field. The first quarter was straight defensive play, but in the second quarter Smith recovered a fumbled punt on Monaca's 27. After a spirited drive of 5 plays, Brodigan plowed off tackle for the only score. Twice in the second half the Indians faced the Bobcat goal posts, inside the 10 and 30-yard lines, but both times Beaver held. Dear Diary, The Bobcats rang up a fifth straight win, this time at the expense of Freedom, by fright- ening their fans during the first half, then romping playfully over the field to win. For the first half the Bobcats played in their own territory most of the time. In the third stanza a sudden spirited drive appeared, and Boden finally rang up a tally. Smith booted the placement successfully. Bro- digan later intercepted a pass, took it to the 4 after running 56 yards with it, and then chalked up a second T. D. Then Jack Courtney heaved A 50-yard pass from his 40 to Jefferson, who caught it on a dead run to score, bringing the total up, 19-0. Dear Diary, Playing on the Zelienople High Field, Beav- er battled to a 0-0 deadlock with Mars. Mars drove to the four and seven-yard stripes in the first half, and Beaver reached Mars' ten. In the last half Beaver was on purely defen- sive play, halting two more drives on their I5 and 16. Outstanding Sportsman Trophy Winner Ed Moravec Dear Diary, Playing a rugged game, Beaver toppled New Brighton 7-6. By pounding doggedly through the line, Beaver smashed to the nine at the end of the first quarter. In two minutes Boden plunged across. He did it again for the extra point that proved to be the margin of victory. In the same stanza, Brighton blocked a punt and passed to a touchdown. The kick was low and wide. The Beaver line gave its most magnificent performance, and the teamwork was classical. Dear Diary, The Bobcats played it safe the Hopewell game. Brodigan lugged it across early in the first quarter and Boden added the point. In the second quarter, Willoughby caught a long heave from Brodigan for six more points, and soon afterwards, Boden traveled 25 yards for yet another. The second half was remarkably dull, and the score remained at 19-0. Dear Diary, We canl We must! But alas, we didn't. For three periods a punting duel was car- ried on, with Brodigan punting and Willough- by continually dropping the receiver. It looked like a 0-0 game in the offing, but a magnificent catch by a Rochy end set ulp the field for the scoring pass at the sidelines. The conversion was successful, and the score remained 7-0. Oh, well diary, as we've been doing, Wait till next year.

About two hundred people, including members of the squad, their parents, and other guests attended the affair. The long tables were gaily decorated with fall flowers, candles and apples, and the place- cards of the players were in the form of a picture of each boy, Each senior received a wooden replica of himself in uniform, provided by Mr. Ernest Casteel of Graule Studios. A delicious turkey dinner was served by the ladies of the Methodist Church, assisted by a group of Sophomore girls. Following the meal, the toastmaster, Mr. Sam Milanovich, intro- duced Coaches Kane and Carey. Mr. Kane gave a review of the season, and his annual pre- diction of the state of things to come. He re- marked that in 1945 he was a bit doubtful about the chances for a successful season this year, but the team came through in fine shape, winning seven, losing one and tying one. Mr. Carey thanked the players for making his first year at Beaver an enjoyable one and stated that he was looking forward to another suc- cessful season in '47. Mr. Milanovich then introduced the guest speaker of the evening, Dr. H. C. Carlson. Head Basketball Coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Carlson, who is nationally fam- ous for his experiments on athletic fatigue, gave an interesting talk on conditioning and training in athletics. He revealed that when an athlete is in training he is getting tougher and tougher and is able to take more hard knocks as each oes by, but after a certain time he reachesi .stage when he becomes uovertrainedfl f ss.

Mrs. George E. W. Cornelius, President of the Football Mothers, presented the seniors with miniature gold footballs and miniature silver ones to juniors who did not receive one last year. Honorary captain, Cecil Willoughby, speak- ing on behalf of the entire squad, presented Head Coach Pete Kane with an engraved gold football in the form of a desk calendar, and Assistant Coach Thomas Carey with an ash- tray with a large gold football on it. Then came one of the highlights of the eve- ning. Mr. John Grad, on behalf of Fastart, Inc., of Beaver, presented to Ed Moravec, senior tackle, a large trophy. The award was for the player who showed the best competi- tive spirit and the big Bridgewater boy received a substantial majority of the votes in an election held by the lettermen. Mr. Grad, a former star gridder of Carnegie Tech and later assis- tant football coach here at Beaver, congratu- lated Moravec and hoped to make the trophy an annual award, as it increased the spirit of competition among the players. Following the speeches two movies were shown by Mr. Casteel. One, a film on the fun- damentals of football, featured several out- standing professional griclders, who demon- strated passing, kicking and line play. The other film was the pictures taken by Mr. Cas- teel of the Beaver-Rochester game. The movies were remarkably clear considering that they were taken at night. The sweaters which are awarded annually to the seniors did not arrive in time for the ban- quet, but came the day before Christmas. The Football Mothers, under the direction of Mrs. Cornelius, are to be congratulated on giving us a fitting climax to a very successful season. -54..

With three good hurlers, Keith St Clair, Jerry Haugh and C. Swauger, backed by a smooth infield, plus a fast, glue-fingered outfield, the nine finished second only to an expert Ali- quippa squad. The team got off to a bad start by losing to Midland 4-3, Aliquippa 3-2, and finally Rochy, on the Blue's diamond, 10-2. Not until the fourth league game with the Bridgers did the Bobcats begin to show their potential strength. With a 3-2 lead, one out and men on First and second, in the ninth, Cecil Wil- loughby pulled the game out of the fire by snagging a low drive at his knees and tossing to Blair on second for a double play. In the next game, Swauger outdid himself by hurling a one-hit game and topping this off by slapping a homer in the sixth with two on. Final score 10-0, a white-wash over Monaca. The second half of the Section 5 race started off well with the Bobcats, downing the Leop- ards, 7-6, to atone for their previous defeat at the hands of the Midland batters. Three days later, the Quip Stealers stole a two-hit win from Beaver for the second time this year to the tune of 5-2. Rochester was blanked easily 9-0 by Keith St Clairls controlled pitch from the mound. The Bobcat nine, on the Colonial Field, edged the Indians 5-4 with a pinch-hit triple in the eighth by C. Swauger, who was then driven in by Bob Schaughencyls fly to centerfield. The season was over for us when Ambridge was forced to bow out, 5-0. Ceese Willoughby pulled the most unusual play of the season in this contest by hitting a uBear- trap homer. With Blair on hrst, Willoughby hit what looked like a two-sacker, down the first-base line. However, the Ambridge fielder when running to pick it up, caught his foot under the right held gate and couldnlt get it loose. Facing the fence, he couldn't get rid of the ball and Willoughby came home behind Blair. The twelve boys who earned letters in the 1945-46 season are: LaVerne Blair, Jack Boag, Jack Courtney, Gerald I-laugh, Robert Schaughency, Robert Schleiterulames Schwartz, Harold Smith, Floyd Standley, Keith St Clair, J. C. Swauger, and Cecil Willoughby. At the end of the season the squad elected LaVerne Blair and Jim Schwartz as co-captains. Co-Captains LaVerne Blair jim Schwartz Back Row-R. Stenger, D. Roush, K.

Dear Diary, Beaver Highas first Cross-Country team did a fine job in its initial season! In the Hrst meet, a dual with Ambridge, the Bobcats pacing be- hind the Bridgers, captain, Rytel, snagged the next six places to take an easy 20-35 victory. Bob Stenger, Ralph Foster, Dick Stenger, Don- ald Roush, Ray Loxley and Kay Lewis were the Bobcat finishers in that order on the Bridger Course. The following week at Gypsy Glen, the Maroon and Gray Greyhounds made the Freedom runners bow, again to 20-35. B. Steng- er, Foster and Roush were the first three over the finish with D. Stenger and Lewis sixth and seventh, Seven days later, again the Bulldogs tucked their tails between their legs, 20-35. Melvin Hogsett upset a free, fast-start decoy to let the Bobcats place first, second, fourth, fifth and eighth. Bob Stenger was again first with Foster, newly elected captain, second. Third for Beaver was Roush with D. Stenger and Loxley following the place clinchers. The select seven, B. Stenger, Foster, the three Ay's Hay, Kay and Rayl, Roush and D. Steng- er went to Ambridge for the New Team Meet. They slid in second behind Canonsburg, but aheadyof Ambridge, Freedom, Kittanning, Penn High and Aliquippa. Again on the 29th of October, the Bobcat Spikers, letting Rytel in first, ground out the next eight places with B. Stenger, Roush, Foster, the other twin, D. Stenger, Anderson, B. Schaughency, Loxley and Hyinie,' Hogsett, to chalk up another 20-35. The big meet, W.P.I.A.L. at Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, was next. The thin clads, top eighty' managed to scrape out a sixth place with their crack spiker, Bob Stenger plac- ing thirteenth to qualify for the State Finals at Penn State bringing to a close the running of Beaver,s 20-35 Squad. Lettermen of the squad were: Bob Stenger, Ralph Foster, Don Roush, Dick Stenger, Jay Anderson, Kay Lewis and Ray Loxley. Take a bow, fellows!

The club didn't do much at the First of the year because of Miss McKinley's illness, but after Mrs. Palamaki took over, things really began to happen. They had teas galore-with the members preparing and serving. Also, in February, they prepared a din- ner for the members of the school board. It was really something-the whole school smelled delicious that day and everyone was practically swooning from the wonderful aromas. The dinner was a great success and everyone survived!! In the spring the club put on a fashion show with costumes dating from way back when up to the present day. The girls sported some of their own handiwork, and it looked pretty good from where I was sitting. --67 Personally, Diary, just between you and me, I think Mrs. Palamaki deserves a great big orchid for her marvelous management of t F Home Economics course and, of course, the club. 'dl' came to B.H.S. in the First semester and too V'fon,'Miss McKinley's duties. Within a short whil , lfieihadsthings running smoothly again and had el monexs 'fiji'eln2lship.

Well, here it is. This year the S. A. N. S. Club was reorganized to become a grand organiza- tion to belong to. By that I mean there were so many different and enjoyable things to do. Field trips, and excursions to Buhl Planetar- ium for the Sky Show, and well, just what the initials S. A. N. S. stand for: Science And Nature Study. Again the sophomores were the lucky ones, at least those taking Biology. Of course the juniors and seniors taking Biology could join the club too. One of this year's projects which was fun as well as interesting, was the nature contest spon- sored by the Carnegie Nluseum. Most of the members entered this and had a wonderful time doing so. The officers for the year were Donald Gard- ner, President, Philip Glass, Vice Presidentg Dick Cameron, Secretary, and Doris Skertic, Treasurer. They managed the club well and were a great help in the fine success of the club. Are you beginning to see, Diary? The S. A. N. S. Club wouldn't even be in existence with- out Mr. Charlesworth. He started the club a few years back for the underclassmen unable to join the Senior Science Club. Since then the membership has been narrowed down to Biol- cgy students only. Now do you see, Diary? There's not much more I can tell you about the club except that it's a wonderful organiza- tion and Mr. Charlesworth really deserves an orchid for his work. SANS CLUB Top Row-J. Malthaner, B.

A dead ringer for rotten eggs, isnit it? Or did you ever try to wipe what appeared to be water off the desk with your hand and find it,s acid? Or did you ever try to weigh a shaving near the win- dow or pour water into sulphuric acid in a weak moment? Did you ever try to stir a boil- ing mixture with a thermometer or stick your nose in a tube of nitrous oxide? Well, all those in Senior Science Club have passed these milestones and come through with flying colors. Oh, of course it wasn't all as humdrum as this. We had to learn our val- encesg principles, too, to qualify, which was much more interesting than the experimenting? This year for the first time, each member had a special project which was left up to the indi- vidual. Each performed any experiment he wished and as many as he wished. For exam- ple, some made soap, others made perfume, and still others performed experiments that were of interest to them. The meetings of the Science Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Reber, were held the first Monday of each month at 3:45, in Room 213. With careful planning by the officers, assisted by Mr. Reber, these meetings always proved to be interesting and very helpful. Often there were movies of interest to science students, and also interesting experiments performed by mem- bers of the club. Golly, Diary, T almost forgot, the officers were: President, Sam Dunning, Vice President, Donna Frazierg and Secretary-Treasurer, Jean Campbell. They did a swell job of guiding the club. A7 The aim of the club thi yearbas in previous years, was to learn s ething' about science which was not inclu, ed ,in the ,regular class periods. ' ' Well, Diar ,LN ere,s hoping'-the i club con- tinues to be as kcmessful in years 'to come as in years past. X 2 . , .Mx 'ee N, x Puff' , ,ai :QA s We Attempt Roma and r, .lit a ttt all Fl' gary' Jeepers, Diary, the sophomores really have a good chance for having fun and getting some plain facts about Roman life. They're the only class allowed to join the Latin Club, of course, they have to take Latin, too. It really is an exclusive club, they even have special names for their officers. For instance, Susan Anderson wasn't merely president, she was the Consul. Philip Glass had the title of Pro-consul. You donlt have to take Latin to guess what his office was do you, Diary? Scribio was the office given to Nancy Didio, secretary to you, Diary, and Shirley Overholt was the Quaistor for the club this year. Now don't get the idea that the Latin Club is just a social organization for sophomores brilliant enough to take second-year Latin, be- cause it isnlt. It's a group of boys and girls interested in the Roman people and in the ancient Latin language. They really work hard and learn lots. Miss Fleck, their adviser, takes a back seat and the members run their club. For instance, one of the club's most interesting achievements was to have each member of the club make a special project, to be entered in the display at Buhl Planetarium during Latin Week. Their assembly in the spring was an- other project that was fun as well as educa- tional. You know, Diary, you've never really had a good time until youlve worked with a gang of fellow students on a program to be performed before the whole school. Well, the Latin Club members need never worry, because their assembly was all it needed to be. It was just like a trip into the Roman life of long ago. Guess that's all for now, Dear Diary, except for one thing, if I were a sophomore again, you can be sure Fd join the Latin Club. LATIN CLUB Sixth Rowv-W. Traynor, Malthaner, R. Roush, W.

They planned the Christmas semi-for mal, the Basketball Dance, and generally aided Mr. Higbee. All students of Beaver High were eligible for membership in the club and could attend the dances. Servicemen, who attended Beaver High School, could also attend the dances free of charge. Sounds pretty nice doesn't it, Diary? Well, it is. lt's one of the best clubs in the school and has the biggest membership, which is not surprising. The Bobcat Club was a wonderful idea and I'm sure the students are mighty grate- ful to everyone who had even the tiniest part in making it as successful as it has been and as successful as we know it will continue to be.

Student Council Dear Diary, Today, Diary, I had a free period so I sneaked into the meeting of Beaver I-ligh's Student Council. I just had to write you and tell of the swell things that the organization is doing this year. This group was reorganized last year. Hoping I was not detected, I heard Miss Fleck, the adviser, tell the new members of the group's aims. Although not running the school, the Student Council is responsible for our con- duct in school. Gee, Diary, did you know the council has charge of locker inspection and traffic regulations? And they also have charge of lost and found articles, too. Golly, I wish we had had the super Freshman handbook when I entered high school. I guess the Freshmen really appreciated it. It was such a change from the confusion at the beginnings of other years. This year,s organization is furthering the work done by last year's group, who started the nifty method of electing officers. Only having a few more minutes left, Diary, I took one last listen as Keith St Clair caimd the meeting to a close. Gee, the next time I go up the wrong steps, or if my loekerjs dirty, IX will think back over this meeting,.l olly, every- '--, one should cooperate with them ,A se the only Q purpose they really have is to serv bus.

When the curtain went up-Wow! Those evening dresses! Those girls! Those songs! Those girls! How we loved their sing presentation of Mad- rigals, Motets, d the two comedies, Old King Cole and Al aber. The Christmas assemblyxl Then the chorus came out in all its glory! The, stirring proces- v the Christmas songs-four Slovakian carols, Birthday of a King, and the traditional Christmas carols struck the perfect note to make us feel the Christmas spirit. Although the chorus didn't make so many appearances as the other sections of the music department of our high school, don't think that the girls didn't work hard under their untiring director, Mr. Brammer. Hours of practice and hard work were spent in preparing each song to be presented. This is to let the girls know that it was worth it.

The finished product that you receive in your home room is the result of many hours of hard work by all the members of the staff. To begin with, there is the matter of finance. When the staff first meets, the editor and spon- sor choose some responsible person to fill the difficult job of business manager. This year Joanne Lees shouldered the burden. When you buy your subscription to the Echo the money is turned over to the business manager, who pays the printer for the printing and paper. The editors have no easy task, either. They l11LlSt figure out what will be interesting mate- rial for the paper, how much space is available, and assign articles to the reporters. Joan Hol- singer and Bill Cornelius shared the editorial duties this year. The sports editor has no easy task. All nth- letic contests must be reported and news of intramural athletics written up. To the reporters and feature writers go the actual task of writing the articles. Features, school news, fashions, gossip, and sports are all written and rewritten to achieve perfection. After an article is finished it is typed, then proof-read to correct any errors. When every article is typed for the last time, they are sent to the printers. When they come back, they arc in long strips of type, just as they will appear in the finished product. These strips are called galley proofs. The galley proofs are cut up and pasted on a dummy sheet, or arranged just the way the paper will appear. The dummy sheet, is then sent back to the printer, who makes up the Echo from the dummy sheet. The paper is then ready to be printed andldis- tributed. Behind all this hustle and bustle is thespon- sor, Mrs. -Iavens. She advises th' staff on busi- ness matters, assists with the 'ting of the articles, and generally sees that 'ings go off smoothly. She is the real heart of the entire Echo Staff, and without her help it would not f 1 -..L I 7 fuetv CL be possible to publish a school paper. f if SHINGAS TYPISTS AND SALESMEN Top Row-B. Gardner, B.

We- Dear Diary, You know, Diary, we've had a tough time getting you all fixed up. The first thing done to get you together was a call from Mr. Paterick for a staff. He used the usual procedure this year, asking for applica- tions, and then using the responses as a basis for choosing the members. He had to make some tough choices, but did okay, didn't he? First off, he had to pick the Editor-in-Chief. But he changed his methods this time, picking out two members of our class as Co-editors. Lois Ann Stout and Paul Harper ac uired these positions. This way both the girls s were represented, and the work of the Edirorfiev ld be a little more evenly distributed. ,V ' J. C. Swaiufger, the Business anager, was a great aid because he, was able to go directly to the Class funds for an-yi necessary expenses. K paid the bills prop'iiptly,'qand for some strangemfii son, he never managers. They collected all the money the students gave just to see you, Diary idoesn't that make you feel big?J and besides which, they ran that intensive campaign to sell you. They did little short of a mir- acle, pulling the sales up to 675 copies of you. That's a record, and one to be proud of, too. The salesmen co-operated to bring the degree of success up to the top. They had a tough time selling you to the Freshmen. I guess they didn't know what they were missing. Fred Pritchard, Shirley Allen, Alma Breckenridge, Jack Watterson, Douglas Gra- ham, Fay Anderson, Gordon Hassell, Byron Gard- ner, Zella Hamilton, June Brabec, Eleanor Graham, Jim Staley, William Quay, Jean Hays, Cecil Wil- loughby, Elizabeth Chambers, Marie Hood, Dennis Yandell and Rose Romig sold you to the students in High School, and Gerry Haugh, Nancy Armstrong, Jean Wolf, Peggy Richardson, and Byron Gardner sold you to the Junior High. We really put you over in those places, Diary. We betterecl the previous niLiszafifiila'ted'l,the balances.

The photography staff proctored for that, and the job was done so thoroughly that we took 53 pictures for you in that one day. Then the prints had to be measured, cut, and sent off to Jahn and Ollier, the Engravers. It was here that Mr. Paterick and the Business Manager had to figure out the dead-lines for the biggest dis- count, to save the treasury's resources. But the pho- tography staff, Bob Archer, Margie Wagner, Cor- rine Gifford, Melvin Hogsett, and Clarence Kane all did their chores well, did they not? Then the Art Staff, comprised of Alan Sullivan, Barbara Meadows, Donna McGuane, Bill Peters, and Marjorie Vanderslice went to work and produced the marvelous drawing through you. We have no mod- ern art, but we feel justly proud of what is presented here. After which, the writers began to roll their scripts off the presses. It was pretty tough collecting all that stuff to fill up your pages, Diary. Like the Sports Editors, Ralph Foster and Tom Russler, who had to read every newspaper in the county before they re- 'Q V V1 X membered how the games went. Or t effeature ivvritersfx Sam Morton, Dorothy Stephens, and X n Mcfdaveifn, who predict the future with a clairvo ht dtigreeiof X accuracy. The Club Editor, Jeanne Emmerich, col- lected all the data on the clubs, as did Bill Lohr for the organizations, Jean Ann Barnes for gi sports, A Katherine Blomberg for the music depart ,tug Joan Holsinger for the Senior Panels, and t I' ' it all together in the write-ups. Unfortunately, not all these write-ups were acceptl able, and the decision in this case rested with Audley Henderson, the Literary Editor, who checked every piece of writing before it went to the typists. Typists Nancy Anderson, Peggy Meyers, Madelyn Vaught, and Rita Burrelli, did quite an acceptable job, Diary, and, although they had to retype some few papers, for the most part they were correct right down even to the punctuation. After this the sheets were set up, sent to the printer, and galley and final proofs O. Kfd to put the finishing touches on you. Then we relaxed, let nature and the printer take their course, and finally, here you are. SHINGAS EDITORIAL STAFF Top Row-B. Archer, A. Sullivan, B. Peters, R. Foster. Fourth Row-B. Lohr, S.

Here comes our Maroon and Gray band! We've got a band to be proud of when they marched out on the football field playing The W. and L. Swing Military Escort, or Officer of the Day. Everyone's heart got a little bigger as the musi- cians marched smartly to their places for The Star Spangled Banner. Ar half-time, they al- ways presented a new and clever formation. 'Member the Rochy game? All those groovy Hallowe'en costumes and those fetching pirates!

Naturall. only a small minority of the be Lin the ac 'V l have the ability that is need- ed A laavarsity basketball, football, and base- ball, 0 the majority must be taken into con- sideration. For this purpose, the gym is avail- able every Wednesday night for those who want to play basketball, wrestle, box, and tumble. This year the B. A. C. was organized in November. Under the direction of Mr. Carey, the sponsor, a basketball league was formed, with seven teams participating. The captains were Gordon Hassell, Keith St Clair, Dick Hayes, Ed Moravec, Frenchie Jefferson, Fred Pritchard, and Dale Rose. Three games were played each night. Later in the year Mr. Carey planned volley- ball, field hockey, softball, and wrestling tour- naments. The B. A. C. offers a fine opportunity for healthful exercise. Now in its third year, it is one of the most popular organizations in the school and every Wednesday the gym is filled with members participating in one of the many activities. At the organization meeting the officers elected were: president, Frenchie Jefferson, vice president, Bill Quay, secretary, Lisle Dailey, and treasurer, Jim Maratta. The B. A. C. is one of the most useful organ- izations of its type in the school. It opens the way for healthier students and provides ideal recreational facilities for the members of our school.

These girls had to master all school sports Tri Dear Diary, You should have seen the beautiful Tri-Hi-Y candlelight induction ceremony in the gym! The new sponsor, Miss Campbell, and this year's officers-President, Audrey Henderson, Vice President, Helen Galiag Corresponding Secretary, Betty Harper, Treasurer, Nancy Armstrong, and Assistant Treasurer, Ann Armstrong-formed a triangle around the new members from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. Another big feature of the year was a huge Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y rally in Beaver. Jeepers! About 600 members from all over the country attend- ed and how the girls worked to make it a big success!

Club -they even had to learn how to twirl Indian clubs. Ouch! My head! Chosen for athletic ability, willingness to work with others, and qualities for leadership, this little group of bright-eyed girls did a fine job. A big cheer for the Leaders Clubf' -Hi-Y ens, was added. This gave the girls better rep- resentation in the cabinet. Through the untiring work of Miss Camp- bell and the six officers, the club's purpose, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian characterf, was carried out. Now don't think the club is stuffy just 'cause it's the high school counterpart of the state Y. M. C. A. It also has many social programs during the year-district rallies, parties, assemblies, and dances. Combined with character-building and social activities are services performed in the com- munity. So you see, Diary, the Tri-Hi-Y really fills up that little gap to make a happy, well- balanced life. A helpful and worthwhile organ- ization-that's the Tri-Hi-Y. -35- Top Row-S. Buchanan, C.

To Honor the Closs of 1946 For several years the class which publishes the Shingas has devoted one page to recognize, among other things, those who exemplify the main purpose which public schools are devoted to-that of outstanding scholastic achievement. While we believe that schools should furnish a well rounded education such as leadership, service and character training, which are so well considered in the National l-lonor Society, athletics, clubs and various other ways, we also feel that this is, in a small way, an opportunity to perpetuate in print the names of those who really excelled in the major purpose of education-scholarship. It is with much pride that we present the names of those in the class of 1946, whose scholastic rating placed them in the upper 10'2 of their classes: COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSE First , H John Darrell Miller Second , ,,,, .. , .. . .

There were only 13 members elected to the Society, six of whom entered at the end of their Junior year. These six, Donald Courtney, Paul Harper, Gordon Hassell, Audrey Henderson, Bettie Milligan, and SaraBelle Segmiller presented the installation ceremony in Febru- ary in which the other seven were inducted. Those elected in the middle of the Senior year were Sam Dunning, Betty Harper, Jean Hays, James Staley, Dorothy Stephens, Lois Ann Stout, and Margie Wagner. The Alpha Chapter was started back in 1937 by V G. A. McCormick, and was sponsored by Mrs. Cummins until this year, when Miss Cathryn Esen- wein was assigned this duty. The projects undertaken by the Society were not extensive, the main purpose of the Society not being social, but rather to stand as a goal to be attained by the underclassmen. How- ever, the members did help prepare tests, produce two assemblies, and, as members of the Society, take scv- eral scholarship tests. The President of the organization, Gordon Has- sell, and Audrey Henderson, the Secretary-Treasurer, were elected at the beginning of the year by the senior members. Sam Dunning was elected Vice- President after the mid-semester installation. The members are elected by their fellow-classmates and the faculty on the basis of the four qualifications. These are: Scholarship, probably the most important by virtue of the fact that in order to be elected to the Society, one must maintain a high scholastic aver- ageg leadership, because this organization is looked up to by the underclassmen as first in leadership: character, inasmuch as to live up to the Honor of the Society,s title, one has to be honorable: and serv- ice, participation in the school life and activities be- ing a major requirement for the well-rounded and symmetrical life.

You know, even the little follc the flower girl, Chris- tine Reynoldsg the sceptre bearer, Sandra Muss- erg the crown bearer, Marilyn Schaffer and the train bearers, Brooks Culley and David Javens carried out their parts well.

Tonight, Dear Diary, I went to the Junior class play. Gee whiz, what a hit. It was really one of the best presented yet. You should have seen Sally Schwab as Judy. Golly, was she good! And the trouble she and her friends got into when they tried to raise money for the community relief!! Qui Clos Dear Diary, We went to the Seniors' class play, wlihe Fighting Littlesn last Spring. Golly, we sure had a rollicking time as the Littles, an average family of four, went through the troubles of teen-age puppy love. Gee, Diary, you would have loved it if you could have seen the eternal triangle caused by Goodie Little, I-lam Cellers, and Norman. The real highlight of the play was when Goodie,s friend, I-lenriette, a southern belle, Gee, you should have seen the antics of Oogie', and Randolph, her brother, Finally, in the end, all the troubles were ironed out and 'KOogie', got his Date with Judy. And oh, Diary, I mustn't fail to mention that Mrs. Cook did a terrific job as director of the play. In all, we surely had a swell Date with Judy, and it will linger in our minds for a long time to come. 3 Plays arrived to offer stiff competition to Goodie and the already confused mess. What really happened, Diary, in the super duper climax provided us with quite a laugh. And, Diary, did I mention this play was so good that it was presented on two nights? Much credit is due to Mrs. Cummins for her direction of the play. The Fighting Littles were the Hghtingest, yet the swellesr, family we ever saw. Senior Class Play Jufajvff- . Dciy In and Day Out SEPTEMBER Dear Diary, Today, Sept. 3, was our first day back to our beloved classrooms. What a ghastly end to a super summer. 6-We had our first pep meeting of the year today for the Midland game. Our sweltering in the heat on Saturday afternoon with numerous trips to the water fountains was justly rewarded when we defeated Mid- land! 13-O for our first victory of the season. 9--First Sophomore class meeting. 12-Pep Meeting for the Avalon Game. You guessed it! Another howling victory for the Bobcats. That pig- skin is really rolling. 13-Friday the 13th was chosen for the supreme social event, Ha, Ha,-the Frosh-Soph Party. The Freshmen are beginning to feel more at home now. 16--Bobcat Club Organization meeting with Latin Club and Home EC. Club the following nights. 19-Assembly: Cameron Beck, wealthy New York busi- ness man, spoke on the opportunities in the future. 20-We all trudged down to Gypsy Gleni tonight to see our favorite football team chalk up another victory 20-6. 28-First Bobcat Dance. And now, dear diary, our first month of school is drawing to a close. Just 8 more to go. OCTOBER Dear Diary, 1-Welre really starting off this month with a bang! Today that much anticipated Shingas Staff was an- nounced with L. A. Stout and Paul Harper co-editors. Here's to a collossal yearbook! 2-lst long movie lwell, I won't go as far as to say thatl. At least it was a movie, even though some of us thought they were just testing the camera because so many parts were cut out. To refresh your memories, it was Tale of Two QI saw Onel Cities. 3-Beaver Bobcats battled the Freedom bulldog lgentle fox terrier, it later turned out to bel to a 19-O victory for the roaring Bobcats. 9--Tonight we played Mars on the Zelienople field due to power strike and failure of Mars' officials to co-operate. We were kinda disappointed with our first tie, O-0. ll-Friday at last and we were finished with our first 6 weeks tests. Lovely! Some of us even went so far as to pass them. 15-A spaghetti dinner for football players tonight. U-m-m-m not bad, not bad at all fNo, not the football player-the spaghettil. 16-Home Ec. Club had its first tea at 4:00 this after- noon. Hard cider for those non-temprance members and tea for the abstainers fin other words those on the wagon.l No offense, Miss McKinley. I7-Report Cards tonight. Goody, Goody, fwhat am I saying?l. 18-All boys wore their Sunday-go-to-meetin' jeans and T'shirts with loud suspenders and a gruesome mixture of red, green, and aluminum painted cloddies. Not to be outdone, the girls wore their father's best white shirts and rolled-up jeans. The occasion-New Brigh- ton Football Game. Z1-After an hilarious week-end of celebration due to our 7-6 victory over New Brighton fWhat a gamell, we came back to a new B.H.S.-no school today. ZW hour assembly in the morning and a Victory Dance in the afternoon. This will never do! 22-Assembly again today, much to the frustration of the faculty members, especially with that chemistry experiment waiting. 25-The teachers went to school las if they didn't need itl and we had a day of freedom. Imagine! 26-Hopewell fell easy prey to the untamed Bobcats and we tallied up our 7th 17th, that isl victory 19-0. 28-This is the week-naturally the one of the Rochy game. 30-One of the most outstanding assemblies of the year. Norman Webster spoke on So You Don't Like Po- etry. The poem Cremation of Sam Magee might give Mr. Reber a new idea for punishing those who don't know their valence. The Shingas Staff closed with a rousing salesmanship pep song to the tune of Clementine', rendered by that popular trio: Doug, J. C., and Jim. NOVEMBER Dear Diary, 1--Another page off the calendar and another month toward the completion of our senior year. We had the best pep meeting of the year for our biggest game. The boys portrayed Rochy cheerleaders and drum majorettes and the girls, the husky football players. Cheetah Maratta looked positively ravishing in his before Columbus slinky, black bathing suit. Will Don Roush ever get rid of that bar' skin coat? 4-We missed our fargtt this year for the lst and only defeat of the season. Rochy only crossed the goal once, making the score 7-0, and we were proud of the fight- ing spirit of our splendid team. 5-Ah-h- yes! Start of the magnificent Shingas Sales. 8-Assembly-a man who had been with the Norwegian Underground and who was an expert on espionage. No, kiddies hct Alan Ladd in O. S. S. 22-Senior English class wrote themes on Getting Along with Someone You Canlt Stand. Miss Esenwein had a very red face when she read the various teachers' names which were taken in vain. Z5-just 3 more this week-something to look forward to: to say nothing of Thanksgiving dinner. Gobble! Gobble! 27-Thanksgiving Assembly today sponsored by speech I s . 27fl5ec. Z-Thanksgiving vacation. DECEMBER Dear Diary, This is the month welve all been waiting forg a two weeks' Christmas Holiday and a visit from Santa Claus. 3-Beaver at Leetsdale. Our first basketball game. Leets- dale caught us unawares but it'll never happen again- 36-31. 6-The home Hoor and all the cheering brought us luck and offset our defeat at Leetsdale with a V-I-C- T-O-R-Y over Sewickly. 11--Assembly-Junior Play skit. 13-Big Night for the Junior Class. Even if we Seniors seldom give underclassmen any credit we're giving them credit now for a super play. They really put A Date With Judy over in a big way. Congratula- tions to the cast and Mrs. Cook. 16-Who's the young lady, fher first name is that of a Howerl who constantly pours over True Romance Magazine daily in 6th period P. O. D. class. I'm sure Mr. Kane will offer a liberal reward to anyone giving information. Her favorite subject is Harold Smith. 20-Christmas Assembly. The halls of B. H. S. vibrated today with numerous Christmas Carols. It was nothing new for B. H. S. to have Three Wise Men, but what startled me most was Angel Milligan. fWhen did she sprout wings?l Although we all enjoyed the assembly program, we couldn't wait to get out the door and really feel that the long anticipated Christmas vaca- tion was here. 20-Jan. 2-Christmas vacation. Need we say more? ! ! ..93... Day In and Day Gut JANUARY Dear Diary, Today we dragged ourselves back to the ever so familar halls of B. H. S. after a wonderful Christmas vacation. Gee, those days in bed 'till noon, were really swell while they lasted! 3--Not wishing to wear their Christmas presents the first day-practically everyone showed up in new sweaters, plaid skirts, etc., todayg that is everyone except a select few who got coal in their stockings be- cause of many hours detention in '46. 8-Assembly. Ah-yes-today my little ladies and gentlemen we attended a lovely dinner party. Yes, I mean the one with Dorthea, etc., who showed us how not to eat with our fingers. It was very impressive indeed. 15-Assembly, and I mean a real assembly. Mr. Allmon, a former graduate of Beaver High School showed several slides about Monrovia in Africa. The assembly was very interesting and lasted for almost two hours. Love that man! After that, the Echo Staff presented a skit as a part of their sales campaign. 15-Night-Boy, did we cram. Whew! I6 and 17-Semester Tests. 20-Results fwowll of semester tests. Oh well, we only have to suffer along four more months. Z2-Ah-today we had a super assembly. None other than a talented QU magician. He pulled several rather corny tricks-the best one was making a large white rabbit disappear. I still say the rabbit was in that black velvet dress for was that a woman?l All our magician needed were a few trained seals and a concession at the carnival over at Junction Park. 24-The nurse certainly has been busy these last few days and all the serious cases are coming from Home Ec. Class. Smell those pungent odors of stewed prunes, oatmeal, egg a la goldenrod and Chicken corn chow- der? You really have to have a strong stomach to take this course. Hasten Jason-bring the basin. 27-Today there was a mad scramble throughout the school in search of volume G of the World Book Encyclopedia, which was finally safely returned. If Mr. Kane wouldn't give us such tough assignments those reference books would stay in the library. FEBRUARY Dear Diary, 3-If any of you are wondering why all the girls were swooning and sighing in Mr. Reber's fifth period study hall today-the reason is very plain-Mr. Economos, a former teacher and now a naval officer, walked in to visit Mr. Reber. Oh, how we all hoped that he had come back to stay. 4-Several of the school directors weakly staggered out of the building this evening looking rather pale and sickly. Could this possibly have anything to do with the dinner some of the Home Economics students cheerfully l?l prepared for them. 5-Senior English Class has started to read that ever popular part of senior English work-Macbeth! Miss Esenwein certainly does a remarkable job of imitating the characters. Maybe we could get her an audition with Louis B. Mayer or Warner Bros. 7-Assembly-Poor John,-Tuberculosis has won an- other victory. Most of the movies we have had this year have been very beneficial and now the school is generously offering a tuberculosis test and stab in the arm with a nice sharp needle. Oh well, it would be better to endure that than end up like Poor John. 10-Ah, who are those lovers I spy strolling homeward down towards-yes, I believe towards Frances Leary's house. Could it be that she and Cheetah Maratta have at last found each other. 14-The National Honor Society Assembly was very interesting and really proved to us what an honor it is to be taken into the Society. Rather than the usual way of explaining about the society and its origin, there was a panel discussion, led by Gordon Hassell, which gave the students and guests a picture of the purpose of the group and how the new members are chosen. 15-Hats off to the Echo Staff who put on one of the nicest dances of the year Saturday night. The gym was attractively decorated in the colors of the theme- Hearts and red and white crepe paper for Valentine's Day. This proves that the Echo Staff can do a whole lot more than print one of the nicest school papers in the country. 17-The new Public Address System was used for the first time this morning, prior to installment. This new improvement in Beaver High School should certainly merit the expense and labor which will make it pos- sible for us and future students of B. H. S. to enjoy this new privilege. 18-Come on you kids-beg, borrow, or steal that money and make your payment on this super book- the Shingas. Do you want the senior class to have to peddle apples on a street corner to produce the Shingas for you! 19-Mrs. Palomaki claims that Mr. Charlesworth is the human garbage pail because of the way he gulps down all the food he can manage to beg from Home Ec. Class. Could this be due to a vitamin deficiency or undernourishment, Mr. Charlesworth? 19-Act I Ah, what a beautiful day! While walking toward the courthouse today, I en- countered Martha Howe gunning along in the faithful Packard. Innocently accepting a ride, I climbed into the back seat to take my place on top of the third layer of passengers fstanding room only in the front seatl. As it was early we decided to take a short ride out Consti- tution Boulevard. Act II: Several hours later. You guessed it-we got stuck out in the wilds of Brady's Run. The Packard was now unloaded and its passengers were on foot. After fording two creeks lin- cidently there were no bridgesl the Packard was frantic- ally clawing for a hold on an icy and muddy hillside with no tread on its tires. After sliding backward and with an exhausted cough, she came to rest on the side of a bank extended in the air on two wheels and ready to turn over. When informed of the circumstances, Mr. Linn was very understanding and the Packard is recup- erating for the rest of the year in Howes' garage. That's all right, Mrs. Howe-we knew you wouldn't care. 20-Assembly today sponsored by the G. A. A. Is Mrs. Petrosky teaching military science in her gym classes? Some of those girls can really handle a gun. Look out, you eligible males! Z1-Early dismissal. Hurrahl Z4-Today Dr. Pauline Sanders, affiliated with the Home Economics Department of the State was a visit- or in the Home Economics classes. I hear she is a former teacher of Mrs. Palomaki so we had to be on our best behavior-at least for teacher's sake. 26-Assembly. A movie-Clear Track Ahead. 28--Just three more months and it will be all over, and the juniors will have all summer to let their heads swell up with the title of Senior buzzing in their ears. Day In cmd Day Out MARCH Dear Diary, 1-Bobcat Dance. 3-Now that the six weeks tests are over we can relax and slide along until the next six weeks. When we car- ry our report cards home I think some of us will feel that March came in like a lion. 7-Assembly-Women's Club Speaker. 10-Mr. Paterick has another gray hair-that Shingas is really something to worry about when one is counting pennies to make ends meet. 11-How did you like the way those girls handled the basketball in their game with Beaver' Falls. Lois Ann Stout had quite an Amazon for her guard but she gave her the works fyou know how strong those garage mechanics are.J 12-The Spanish Club under Miss Lawson's capable supervision presented a very interesting assembly. Don't you all wish you took Spanish, too? 13-Who originated the new cheer-one-a-Zippa? 15-Basketball Dance. Ah-this wonderful new lighting system. 17-Good old St. Patrick's Dayg or do you spell it with an e ? 18-Sans Club Meeting. 19--Home Ec Club Assembly. Z0-Tri-Hi-Y Club meeting. 23-Don't you boys wish you took Home Ec? We had a Movie today. 26+Assembly--Warren Lee Terry on Music and Drama. Gilbert and Sullivan Opera. Z7-Leave it to Mr. Charlesworth. Those lucky Sopho- mores get the day off for a trip to Pittsburgh. 29-How could I ever Fill up my column if it weren't for the numerous Bobcat Dances? APRIL Dear Diary, Can you imagine? April is here already and this means just six more weeks for the seniors. No. That's no April Fool's joke either. 1-Miss Cable, a representative of the Bell Telephone talked to the senior girls this morning in a vain at- tempt to lure them over to Bell Telephone. Z-Assembly-That Junior English class can really put the plays over. Maybe we could get those renowned vocalists and Martha Netherland with her Stradavarius to play and sing for the Prom. 4-7-Easter Vacation I love that word vacationj. 9-X-Ray Exam. See you in the Sanatorium. 10-I'd like Audrey I-lenderson's glasses if they were red! I1-Ah yes, another Bobcat Dance. 13-Home Ec Club has another film. I hear it's entitled Blame'It On Love. Say, what kind of a class is that? 14-Kay Lewis is really Miss Lawson's biggest problem child. What makes his big head so hard? 17-The end of the fifth six weeks. Just think-only one Enore report card to drag home and be reprimanded or. 18-Assembly-Wesley Flanery on Aeronautics. 19-Bobcat Dance. 21-As I was strolling past the office sixth period today, whom should I see but Jane Snitger, who has been transferred without notice from 214 for an indefinite period of time. Could it be that she and Mrs. Palo- maki have had another little tussle? 22-Report Cards were graciously handed out today by our beloved f?l faculty members. 25-Junior-Senior Prom! 28-Any one care to hire a porter to carry the bags under their eyes after the strenuous night after the Prom? MAY Dear Diary, 1-Only sixteen more days and we seniors are out on probation. Happy day! 2-National Honor Society Assembly. Induction of the new Junior members. Don't Georgie Pauvlinch and Harry Girting look nice in cap and gown? 5-If any of you have any old Hershey bars, Milky Way, etc., lying around, please contact Gimme Armstrong who will glady dispose of them. She can always be found in the vicinity of the Beaver County Court House between the hours of 12:30 to 1:00 p. m. shouting Gimme Some. Put away that razor, Nancy. 8- The Rains Camef' Good old muddy May Day. 9- Sound the alarm, throw out the dragnet, rejoice today for the biggest and best of all Shingases is here at last. 12-Seniors are beginning to map their plans for that most magnificent of all assemblies. 15-Gee, how we all hated to give in those beloved Eng- lish, Spanish, P. O. D., etc. books. Can you imagine what it will be like without homework to do every evening? We'll all be lost. That's a joke, son! 16- What are these so withered and so wild in their at- tire, that look not like the inhabitants o' the earth, and yet are on it?,' You guessed it! I am describing the seniors. To tell you the truth I really expected worse than that on their last day. I think B. H. S. got off very easy when they only have to rebuild the audi- torium. 17-From now on its going out every night and sleeping until 12:00 every clay. 19-My heart aches for the under-classmen who tramp off to school as usual every morning. Oh well, have faith, kiddies. You just have two more weeks and you, too, will be free. Z1-The cast for the Senior Class Play is certainly hav- ings rough time. Miss Esenwein is really making them wor . 22-This year the class of '47 is really giving the school something to remember it by. We have had the honor to be the first class in the history of B. H. S. that hasn't left the school some money for improvements. Aren't we devils? 23-The big night-The Senior Class Play. Although we can't surpass the Theater Guild we certainly put over a good home talent play. Orchids to Miss Esen- wein and her super cast. Z4-The last Bobcat dance of the school term. What would I have done without them? 25-Baccalaureate Service. Z6-Semester tests. It's all over but the shouting! 27-The biggest event of the year-The Senior Banquet and the Senior Dance. I guess we'll never forget this night. Z8-No school-and it wasn't because of hooky playing either. 29-Classes in half day session. Professor Vates gave Mr. Reber such an argument about giving up his Chemis- try book that Mr. Reber finally had to appease him by promising to let him have it 1 day a week during the summer so he can devote his time to doing more re- search work on his own private atomic theory. We officially severed relations today with the school-at last we have been graduated. 30-This was Memorial Day in more ways than one- the last day. Do you want us to send your report card or will you call for it? And' now Dear Diary we have finished the last chapter in our memorable high school life. To you Juniors, we leave full charge of B. H. S. and here's hoping you can take as good care of it as we did. ..95-- --1--i A 'Qi . RN ,ML I tvj I , '- .

Perhaps we were negligent or careless many times in our discarding paper on the floor or writing on the walls, and we would be less than courteous if we Clidnlt say We're sorry. We really appreciate all the many lcindnesses you have shown our class during the past year.
