We Dedicute The dedication of any book such as our Shingas requires a great deal of serious thought. 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.
