These words could be heard echoing and re-echoing within the halls of our beloved Alma Mater during the football season. These words typify the spirit of the team of 1949. This team was undoubtedly one of the best teams our high school has ever produced. Not only was their record one to be proud of but their individual courage and determination was such that it evoked the praise of everyone, student, faculty member, and citizen alike. The winning spirit of the entire squad permeated the student body in general, and the generous response kept that spirit at high fever throughout the season. A combination like that certainly is a great example of the motto noted above. This spirit and determination faltered once or twice but always came back stronger than ever, which can be proved by the last game of the season when our team came from behind twice to win one of the most glorious victories of the season, about which everyone talked constantly for days and will remember for years to come. Resting in the trophy cases, which contain symbols of glory of former B.H.S. athletes, are now to be seen several new and attractive trophies depicting the recognition our team so richly deserves. In dedicating an annual, the class looks for outstanding contributions toward a better Beaver High School. In our search this year this was not hard to find, and so we, the class of 1949, are proud to dedicate our Shingas to The Football Team of the Year uialsiwf J -5- SENIOR ENGLISH HOME ECONOMICS PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY - 5 - I am the spirit of the class of '49 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Rxcharcl Cameron .......,,.

Future Teachers Club ,Wm W fg,c2Wa5 Instead of the usual article written by Dr. McCormick for this page, the class of '49 would like to talce this opportunity to publicly thank him for his friendly advice, wise counsel, and great encouragement to us, individually and collectively, over the past years. We have felt that his interest in us vyas not just one of pure academic relationships but rather the warm personal feeling of one who is vitally concerned about our future. May we, in this small way, express our sincere appreciation to him for this friendly interest all through high school and say that as We go out into life,s multiple pathways We will feel safer and more secure as a result of his wisdom. Ar the same time may we express our thanks to his secretary, Miss Isabella Kenah, for her expert handling of our accounts during our years in high school. and the supervision and leadership of our CHARLES S.

Many are the times during our high school career that we contact Mr. Linn or are contacted by him over a thousand and one matters of little or great import. Ever one to chide us for some act of juvenile mischief, or to congratulate an individual or group on a special achievement, his central thought seems to be the betterment of the morale of students and teachers alike. May we here express to him our thanks and appreciation for all his guidance, advice, and personal interest in our daily life in high school. His help has been a real inspiration to us, To Mrs. Grove, we extend our sincere thanks for her many acts of kindness and considera- tion during our years in B. H.

Since the ninth grade has been added to the two other junior high school grades, and the Market Street building has been reopened for their use, the job of being principal of the junior high school has become a more responsible one. We feel however, that Mr. Edward Schaffer is capable of handling these duties, and handling them well. Our class is familiar with Mr. Schaffer, as he became principal when we were just entering junior high, and he was our guide and teacher in many ways. We know that he has given, and will continue to give all his students wise council in the selection of their high school subjects leading toward their life's work. MRS.

The Senior Class wishes to express our sincere thanks During four years in high school a class encount- ers many to whom it is indebted for various reasons. We recognize this and wish to express our thanks to all of them. There are two, however, to whom the senior class is especially grateful, our yearbook adviser, Mr. Paterick, and our class sponsor, Mr. Charlesworth. Mr. Paterick has been Shingas adviser for ten years, his first book being that of l940, and each year the book has become bigger and better, with a larger circulation. It is no easy job to produce a yearbook and, as he must work with an inexperienced staff each year, most of the work of organization falls on his shoulders. l-le must look forward each year to the next and plan contracts and budgets and such. It is mainly through his efforts that the book has survived war and prosperity and we hope it will always continue. To Mr. Charlesworth goes our thanks for various things. It is he who sponsors the financial side of our class's activities. Through his original ideas and care- ful planning we have been able to underwrite the yearbook, pay all our bills promptly, in part finance our final banquet and dance, and perhaps have some- thing left for a class memorial. I-le has also, as class sponsor, many other duties which he performs with diligence and understanding. To these two, then, the senior class of 1949 wishes to express its deep appreciation for jobs well done, for help, counsel and guidance in the successful com- pletion of our last and best year in Beaver High School.

Yes, the junior year brought many thrills that can be only surpassed by those of the senior.

One of our methods was to hunt up every club that was available to us and join hurriedly. The first big event was that of sponsoring the Annual Football Dance. We,ll always remember our bus trip to the wilds of Pittsburgh's zoo and the more refined cultures of the museum, planetarium and conservatory. We faced the coming year with the expectation of becoming upper classmen. ' HOME ROOM 212 213 212--Top Row: John Johns, John Brkich, john Redfern, Jamie I-Iogue, Dale McClurg.

It was originated for the purpose of furthering the knowledge of the Latin students concerning the Romans and their customs. Until this year the membership of the club has been limited to second-year Latin students only. This year, however, the first year Latin students have been admitted to the meetings. This has enabled the club to hold even better and more interesting meetings. During the past year, the Latin Club has held many worthwhile meetings and has worked on many interesting projects. Through these, the students have found that Latin is not only informative but entertaining as well. Among the various activities of the club were the Christmas cards which were designed and made by the club members, a Latin newspaper which was produced of, bv, and for the club members, and a Roman play. Also, several par- ties were held which were appreciated and en- joyed by each and every member of the club. As a special feature at one of these parties, Mr. johnson gave a talk about his experiences in Rome. This year the president's chair was filled by Tom Waddell, vice-president, Sally Garvin, secretary, Dorothy Ammon, and treasurer, Sam Machall. Student advisor is Miss Fleck. SPANISH CLUB Should anyone unacquainted with the Spanish language venture into Room 104 during a Spanish Club meeting, he would probably find himself rather confused, for, as far as possible, these meetings are conducted in Span- ish. The South American aura of these meet- ings is unmistakable. Not only is the speech in Spanish, but posters and a colorful bulletin board also lend spice to the atmosphere. Var- ious projects contributed by members of the club also adorn the room. These projects in- clude dolls in gay Spanish garb and miniature houses complete with toothpick balconies. The Christmas season was celebrated in a very entertaining manner. A pinata or gayly decorated bag was suspended from the ceiling. Each member then tried to break the bag with a stick. When it was finally broken, goodies for all were distributed. Christmas carols were then sung in Spanish while the refreshments were being served. These meetings were of a type that every club member enjoyed whole- heartedly. Another interesting activity of the club this year was the correspondence with Spanish- speaking students in Spain, Mexico, and South America. In these letters, the club members in- troduced themselves and requested answers to their letters, written in Spanish, which proved to be very interesting as well as educational. The club was directed by Miss Lawson with aid from the club's officers: president, Bob Moore, vice-president, Sally Jones, secretary, Lois Dyer, and treasurer, Barbara Moravec. This organization tends to give the Spanish student a better understanding of the lan- guage and customs of Spain and South Ameri- ca. Admittance is granted to students of both the first and second year Spanish classes.

Open the window, Aunt Minniel', Many times we have heard the great Rosey Rosewell use that expression during the days of summer baseball. Many times during the school year the same expression may be heard in Room 213 when the Senior Science Club meets and our amateur chemists try out some new concoction. Designed to supplement the regular class work in chemistry and physics, the Senior Sci- ence Club provides a time, a place, and an op- portunity for members to do some work in experimentation that they would not have time to do otherwise, or to try out some new prin ciple or idea. A11 of the members participate in the meet- ings, this makes for both fun and interest. Unusual experiments, technical demonstrations, and original talks all keep the meetings moving along at a fast pace. A selected committee, under the guidance of Mr. Nevin Reber, club sponsor, plans the program so that each will be educational as Well as recreational.

Have you ever met an amoeba? If not, why not ramble up to room 215 one of these lovely afternoons and listen in on a S. A. N. S. Club meeting, where you will meet not only an amoeba but all its friends as well. A11 students taking biology are eligible to join the club. The club,s purpose is to apply to real life the knowledge obtained from books. Biology is actually the study of life, so the S. A. N. S. Club, as you can see, is a club with a huge topic in which to delve. The Science and Nature Study Club, spon- sored by Mr. Charlesworth, has done many in- teresting things this year. A visit to the Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh was a high point of the activities. Other activities such as a visit to the Flower Show in Pittsburgh, movies of typi- cal biological topics, hikes and many other things, were fun for everyone. All these activi- ties have contributed to the better understand- ing of life in general, this should be an asset to the members of the club.

LEADERS CLUB Eleven years ago in 1937, Mrs. Detzel, formerly Wilma Carnelly, start- ed the Leaders Club. Due to the great success of this organization, it has con- tinued to the present day. In the early spring each year, new leaders are select- ed by the senior leaders and the spon- sor. They are chosen for their athletic ability, willingness to work with others, qualities in leadership, and mastery in all phases of physical education. Each year they are officially initiated. If you happen to pass the girls' dressing room and hear screams from within, you will know that the newly elected leaders, dressed in gym clothes, are being doused under the showers. Many students wonder just what the Leaders Club is. The members per- form such duties as taking roll, check- ing showers, helping to set up equip- ment, leading and helping the girls in all activities, demonstrating calisthenics, helping with the annual May day pro- gram, and assisting the physical edu- cation instructor whenever needed. These girls are identified by the tradi- tional white gym suits in contrast with the usual green suits worn by the other gym students. Each year the girls at- tend a play day as a reward. This year they journeyed to Aliquippa for an eventful afternoon in the early part of October. We pay tribute to the Leaders Club for their efforts and faithful lead- ership.

Many girls, eagerly participating in the games during soccer season, often heard the cry, Let's get that ball up the field! Soccer was played every evening behind the school with each team struggling to become champ. During the early part of the season, class teams were picked. Later on, the best players on the class teams were chosen to make up the Ma- roon and Gray teams. As Soccer season began to draw to an end, plans were made for volleyball, the next sport to be played. Then we began to hear, Q'Keep it up in the airf, Because of a great turnout for this sport, the girls brought their lunches and played during the noon hour. Basketball, the most popular sport among the girls of B. H. S., was also played at noon and after school. There were always spectators to see the battle of the hardwood exhibited by the girls. The G. A. A. girls thoroughly enjoyed the dance sponsored by the club and the skating party held during the year. In addition to these activities, the Beaver Falls G. A. A. club invited our club to a dance at the Beaver Falls High School gym in the early part of November. Miss Wagner, the sponsor, along with her able assistants, the officers: President, Nancy Hansen, Vice President, Peggy McCuneg Sec- retary, Josephine Guzzettig and Treasurer, Car- olyn Stephens, has made this year one of the most outstanding in the Held of girls' sports. clubs, and the bruises healed nicely.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB An important part of the vocational pro- gram in Beaver High School is the Home Eco- nomics courses. In our language it means home malcingf, The major purposes of these oppor- tune courses are to train those especially inter- ested in home making for the future. Several particular courses which the girls are offered are: buying, cooking, serving, sewing, good grooming, child care, entertaining, and various other phases of home life. In addition to regu- lar class work, field trips are made to local points of interest. Valuable experience was gained by all dur- ing the period of the high school evaluation. The ,girls served, at this time, two luncheons and a tea for the Middle States and Maryland High School Rating Association Committee. During the Christmas season, the Home Economics club had a delightful tea to which the mothers of all members were invited. The tables were appropriately decorated in gay red and green, with pine and candles. In February the club enjoyed an interest- ing talk by Mrs. Paul Jones on interior decorat- ing. Several times this past year demonstrations have been made by a representative of the gas company to further explain the uses and ad- vantages of the gas range. A field trip to the Pittsburgh Heinz Factory was one outstanding feature that no one will forget. All these activities explain the clang of dishes, the purr of the sewing machines, and the delicious aromas that fill the halls around room 208.

BOBCAT CLUB On many a Saturday night, the gals and guys of B. H. S. have taken up their Saturday evening posts at the Bobcat Dances. The mel- low music and gay atmosphere of these dances has attracted students for many years. The club, which was organized in 1944 under the direction of Mr. Smith, has been su- pervised the last three years by Mr. Higbee. The many students who attend these dances are proof enough of the widespread popularity of the Bobcat Club. For a very small fee, a ticket may, be purchased which entitles the owner admission to each dance that is held. Music for dancing is furnished by the latest records and Coca-Cola is served at the coke bar. Cne of the social highlights during the ,,,, ,,, 153- Christmas season was a semi-formal Bobcat dance. Much preparation was made for this dance, as was shown by the appearance of the gym. Christmas trees, with gaily winking lights, and a jolly Santa Claus, complete with reindeer and sleigh, were used as decorations. The mu- sic, which was furnished by Bill Springer's or- chestra, added much to make an enjoyable evening for all. The officers of the club have done a fine job and deserve much praise for making the dances successful. They are as follows: presi- dent, Dick Campbell, vice-president, Joyce O'Donnellg secretary, Keith Martin, treasurer, Betty Rhodes, and co-chairman, Patty Grant and Harold Roush. work needed to produce our yearbookg all SI-IIN GAS STAFF -4- these added to the experience gained in high school Now that you are enjoying your copy of the 1949 SHINGAS, we of the staff would like to explain some of the activities that go into the production of such a book. Last year, even while we were enjoying 48's', book, Mr. Paterick, our adviser, was busy signing contracts, comparing prices, and making plans for this yearbook. In September, even before you were thinking about the Shingas,', Mr. Paterick chose the editor, Dolores Deku, and at a class meeting asked for letters of application. The task of choosing the staff was at hand. After the staH: was selected, work started in earnest. An assembly program was planned fcan you ever forget LSfMFT?J to start sales, and capable salesmen, under the leadership of our circulation managers, Ruth Johnson and Kenny Young, sold the high school, junior high and business men over 700 books, thus topping the previous record of 682 books. The salesmen were: Mary Lou Popp, Tom McClure, Mary Ann Scheel, Bill Traynor, Patty Weigle, Bill Standley, Doris Tosh, Patty Grant, Patti Rcosa, Russell Henry, Shirley Overholt, Ellen Mur- ray, Rita Kisrler, Mona Willoughby, Doris Skertic, Ann Miller, Dick Cameron, Lois Pat- terson, Bob Gifford, Charlene Akins, Robert Knott, Merilee Stout, and Isabell Holt. About the last of September pictures were scheduled and, despite a mix up in the day scheduled, 55 pictures were taken. It was the job of the photography staff consisting of Dick Browne, Barbara Butcher, Donald Gard- ner, Joan Thornton, and Jeannine Brunner to originate ideas for placement of pictures and do the mounting. This was completed and we got our first shipment of pictures off to Jahn and Ollier, our engravers. The writers started to get busy about this time, James Adams and David Haire, the sports writers, were busy with football season, while Nancy Hansen and Norma Jean Lanahan wrote about the girls, sports. The music editor, Emily Engle, the club editors, Nancy Javens and Connie Craft, and the feature writers, Phil Glass, Sally Lou Jones, Sue Knight, and Jack Oakes, all started their articles and when these were handed in, the Literary Editors, Susan A n d e r s o n, Betsy Strother, and Patty Shiveley, started their proof reading, which was no easy job. When the articles were ready they were typed by either Mary Carol Amberson, Joanne Hartley, Laura Jo Hurst, Isabell Holt, or Joan McCoy. Wfhile all this was going on, the art staff, Mary Brunot, Annabelle English, Donna Lou Hall, Dolly Merriman, Alice Ruth Stout, or Margaret Wheeler, was busy preparing sketches for the division pages. Lois Dyer, our financial manager, was the one who kept the money straight and paid the bills. This is just a sample of the hard work necessary to complete our annual. However, although it was a lot of hard work, we have also had satisfaction in seeing our work turned into something that will live forever in our hearts as well as recalling many fond memories of our days in Beaver High. May we also, at this time, take this oppor- tunity to express our thanks to any members of our class, our teachers, or anyone else who may have directly or indirectly helped us in the production of this book.

THE ECHO As in the past, The Echo, our school news- paper, has served to acquaint its readers with happenings around and about the school. Since its establishment many years ago, each issue of the paper has been looked forward to with much eagerness. Approximately once every two months an Echo was produced by the Journalism Class. Besides this, however, a smaller paper, the Echo-ette, made its appearance every now and then. Each paper contained editorials, fashion news, club news, sports, and the everlasting gossip column. Many other articles of interest were added to the paper in each copy. In February, the Echo Staff sponsored its annual 'll-leart I-lopf' This dance has always been popular and this year was no exception. The gym was decorated in accordance with Val- entine's Day. Dreamy music and tasty refresh- ments added to an evening enjoyed by all. This year the Journalism Class took a trip to the Beaver Valley Times and were shown the mechanics of a newspaper ogice. The trip proved to be not only educational but pleasur- able as well.

STUDENT COUNCIL The student council is an elected organization con- sisting of members from each of the senior high school grades. They do various things to forward the welfare of the s.uden2s and to represent them in various activities. This year the student council has been very active in selling refreshments at basketball gamesg in inspecting lockers to keep the pupils aware of the importance of neatnessg in keeping the school campus clean and attrac- tiveg and in presenting problems of the students to the faculty and giving the response in a manner which the pupils will understand. The officers of the student council are picked accord- ing to grades. The president is to be a senior, the vice president is to be from the junior classg and the secretary- treasurer is to be a sophomore. The capable officers this year are Robert Rogus, president, Cvordan Milligan, vice presidentg and Mary Ellen Kecterer, secretary-treasurer. PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL The President's Council is one of the newer organiza- tions in our high school. It was organized but a few years ago under the supervision of Dr. McCormick. The pur- pose of the council was, and is, to assemble certain stu- dents so that they might put forth their efforts for the betterment of the school. The Presidentys Council is just what the name im- plies. It is composed of the presidents and heads of the various classes and clubs. They more or less constitute, as a group, the opinions of the entire student body. At the time of the evaluation, they conferred with the evalua- tion committee and voiced many of these opinions. It is hoped that in the future the chief duty of the President's Council will be that of speaking with visitors to our school and giving them information about the function of the school.

To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian char- acrern is the goal of the Tri-l-li-Y organization. The aim proves in itself that this service organization is extremely worthwhile. The majority of girls in Beaver High School belong to the organization and have found it not only educational but also full of good times. Among the many activities in the past year, the Tri- Hi-Y Club presented a 'QWaistline', Dance at which those attendng paid one cent for each inch of their waist measurement as admission. The profits from this dance went to the World Youth Fund, surely a credited cause. During the Christmas season, the club went caroling and as a Christmas present they sent canned foods to the Passavant Home in Rochester. After Christmas, the club sponsored an assembly at which time they had as a speaker an Episcopalian minister who gave a talk on Turn Your Burdens Into Bridgesf' l-le was a most interesting speaker and was enjoyed by all. In February the girls had a 'il-lobon Party as one of their meetings. Each girl came dressed like a hobo carrying her lunch tied in a hand- lcerchief. An item all members loolc forward to is the very attractive pins given to all those belonging to the club at least two years. In the past year the junior members re- ceived their pins and also those seniors who did not receive them previously. Miss Campbell is the sponsor and under her guidance the officers of the past year have made the Tri-l-li-Y the respected club that it is, The officers are: president, Patty Grant, vice president, Mary Linng chaplain, Susan Ander- son, historian, Ellen Murray, public relations, Barbara Dowd, treasurer, Norma Jean Lanahang assistant treas- urer, Helen Schleiter, recording secretary, Nancy Didio, and corresponding secretary, Josephine Guzzetti. The Tri-Hi-Y Club is a credit to our high school and every member should be proud of her membership. To have a specific goal to aim for helps to make for success and the Tri-l-li-Y Club helps one to piclc a high and worthy goal. our service to others . . . .

GLEE CLUB There is no better music for our ears than hearing the harmonious voices of the Boys' Glee Club raised together in a beautiful melo- dy. Little did we realize that their huslcy mas- culine voices could produce such fine, well- blended tones. The student body considered themselves well entertained after hearing a performance by the boys. The music swelled to a magnificent peak at the Thanksgiving assembly and Spring Fes- tival with the boys singing such numbers as 'QBlue Tail Flyf, uThe Prayer of Thanlcsgivingv and 'QDeep Riverf' The club, which is composed of sixty boys, practiced on Tuesdays and Thursdays to achieve quality in their singing. The basses, baritones, and tenors all responded under the capable direction of Mr. Cornelius. We should feel proud when we stop to consider that this is the first year in a long time that a very large male chorus has been formed with considerable success. It seemed that the boys finally discovered the enjoyment and fun in singing. They even arranged their repertoire to include a few of the grand classi- cal pieces with some. of the more modern folk music. Boys of the Glee Club, you deserve our hearty congratulations for all you have accom- plished this past year. Your songs will remain in our hearts for a long time to come.

Some know--but do you? Well, we'll tell you about them. Over the period of their years in school, these have attained and fulfilled the role of the educated. What made them so? We think you all understand, for their aims and ambitions are the secret aims and ambitions of everyone. Character is one of the qualities which they have worked with and have finally molded to their liking. This was the product of many years of home training, consideration for others, and in- terest in those around them. The quotient of these became a general character of high moral stand- ing and responsibility. Leadership was not only conceived in the classroom, but also begotten from the many activities at their fingertips and the many opportunities which they made for them- selves. The result of their interest arrived in the form of a trust for guidance and service. The respect and friendship which this won for them was more than adequate payment. Their achieve- ments and success as Beaver High School students can be ably traced through their record of schol- arship for the way of study and education was lead by these. The distinction of membership in the National Honor Society was not taken lightly, instead, they formed a working branch of the organization. Officers were chosen: Dick Campbell became president, Donald Gardner, vice-president, and Betsy Strother occupied the role of secretary-treas- urer. Together with many other functions, they corresponded with graduate members of the society and held inductions of students chosen by their fellow classmates and teachers. We know, and you do too, that they have valued and honored our trust. The guidance and inspiration handed down by their examples can- not help but remain a constant and meaningful challenge to you, and you, and you.-Challenge accepted?? .-61... i . . .

The mu- sic sounded superb as the members marched out onto the field in snappy red uniforms, or as they played for assemblies and concerts. Dur- ing the football season our voices rang in the gym as well as in the stadium while the band played our spirited school songs. It is one of the most important elements in keeping up the spirit and pep of the students besides provid- ing enjoyable listening. Unique formations were presented at each football game during halftime, however, at the beginning of every game the spectators were greeted with a Hi formed by the quick stepping members. During the intermis- sion, routines such as the Umbrella and the Bar-Xi' were presented and received with favorable comment from the spectators. At the Rochester game our band went all out with a breath-taking fiaming heart routine, per- formed in the dark. Mr. A. Murray Cornelius, the director of all the musical organizations, must be heartily congratulated on the fine work he has done with the various organizations, especially the band. Although this is his first year at Beaver High School he has proved himself to be an asset through the fine performance of the band at intermissions of the football games and the superb music at assemblies and concerts. BAND The majorettes added greatly to the color- ful array of the unit. They made a fine appear- ance on the field as they went through intri- cate presentations while leading the band. Their ability to work together and their ingen- uity attributed much to their success. Since the orchestra is very small this year, the band has devoted some of its time in learn- ing a few more concert pieces. Although the orchestra lost most of its members in the gra- duating class of last year, the orchestra mem- bers desired to keep the organization together and have met every Tuesday and Thursday for a practice period. In years to come it is hoped that our orchestra will be larger, especially in the string section. The band does much in adding prestige to our high school by appearing in parades in all parts of the valley and having some of its members participating in such select organiza- tions as the Mid-Western Band. The members and director of the band should be given well deserved credit for the many long hours they spent in gaining perfec- tion. As the old saying goes, Practice makes perfect. It is only appropriate that we should offer them our heartiest thanks for a job well done. they led our victory parade ATHLETICS x M 'Mimi G I 2 .Mm feb X N XQ 'o -X V f 5 X w ,W ' I 1 W x ff X , RAW E Og ii Qin 2 9 Z' This year our football team was Ken fDuclj Blair was a hard-hitting back. l-ie was full of spirit at every game and his defense helped the Bobcats many times. Robert QRogiej Rogus was our tall, fast end. Few passes got away from him. Be- cause of injuries Rogie didn't play this year, but itls rumored that he helped Bama in coaching Mr. Cutri. Howard fffarpsj Carper was that fast little backfield man that you saw sprinting around end so many times. l'Carps', played both defensive and offensive equally well. Robert CGM-'fy Gifford was our faithful manager. Gig saw to it that the boys had everything they wanted. He also wrapped their cuts and bruises, jerry Lewis was a great threat to the opposition with his vicious blocking and tackling. Jerry always played hard and lost a couple of teeth in the bargain. James fBamaj Adams was a hard hitting tackle who was hard to face. Like Rogie, Bama was benched because of injuries the whole year, but that didn't hinder his coaching any. Bill Edgar was on his toes this year and played good ball. I-le played defensive line backer. His fast, straight centers helped the team considerably. outstanding in its performances on the gridiron Richard fsftumpyj Cameron was the brains of the outfit. In calling the plays he did a remarkably good job. He was a very good downfield blocker and an exceptionally fine tackler when the opponents had the ball. Vernon frfopj Casteel was very swift on foot, a good blocker and passer. He did most of our kicking and got off some especially fine ones in the Rochester game. Topper scored the first touchdown against Rochester in thirteen years. Stanley Cstaushj Boden was our bone-crushing fullback, a three-year letterman. Not only could Bodes carry the mail, but he backed up our fine line this year in steller fashion. Robert CBottleQ Weaver, our short, broad heavy tackle, received honorary mention in the Sun-Telegraph for all WPIAL. Bob was our varsity left tackle for two years and a very ine defensive man. Robert fGreekj Staub was a three-year letterman. He was elected Captain in his senior year and was named all WPIAL by every poll taker. Bob received special mention for his fine line backing on defense. Harold fBudD Roush played center for two years and did a very fine offensive job. His kickoffs were effective and helped greatly in the Beaver cause. In the last minutes of the Rochester game he stopped a scoring threat by intercepting a pass and bringing it back to Rochester's twenty-yard line. Matthew fMuttj Loncher was the heaviest man on the squad, weighing two hun- dred and thirty-Hve pounds. He was used mostly on defense and proved to be a very tough man to move out of the way. Good teamwork and a determined spirit Standing: Carper, Casteel, Lewis, Boden, Cameron, Ray, Coach Pete Kane. Kneeling-Holt, Pinkerton, Forsythe, Loncher, Roush, Staub, Weaver, Hayes. BEAVER VS. MIDLAND The opening game was played on the new Midland football field. This game was the offi- cial opener for their stadium so it can be under- stood why Midland was determined to win. The game started with Midland receiving. They at once started their scoring drive up the field. Gornak ran 13 yards for the first touch- down. The try for the extra point was wide. In the second quarter Gornak tossed a pass to Allen, who raised Midlandls tally by six points as their try for the extra point was no good. Beaver took the kick and started up the field but lost the ball on downs. The Leopards took over, but luck was with us, as Gornak tossed a pass which Staub intercepted and pranced forty- five yards for the Bobcat's first touchdown. Our try for the extra point also failed. In the third quarter, Hubbard ran nine yards for another touchdown, adding an extra point. With minutes to play in the game, Cas- teel flipped a short pass to Hayes who ran for another score, our attempt for another point again was no good. The game ended with the score, Midland 19, Beaver 12. The first game was a hard game to lose. TARENTUM DOWNS BEAVER The second game of the season started with the Bobcats kicking off to Tarentum. As soon as the ball was received, Tarentum started to march up the field. A few passes put them close to our goal. Anthony went wide around end and brought the ball up to the eight where he went off tackle to score. The try for the extra point was good. Beaver fought hard, but they couldrft get started. The Bobcats showed good defensive playing, however, and kept the spec- tators on the edge of their seats with vicious blocks and tackles. In the third quarter the Bobcats started to roll. They gathered yardage every play, through center, around end, and with short passes. It was on one of Casteel's passes that Tarentum intercepted and ran sixty yards for the second touchdown. They again added the extra point. The Bobcats held the Tarentum team al- most to a standstill in the fourth quarter. Beav- er,s defense was wonderful. They really had the Tarentum team,s quarter-back sweating. The game ended at 14 to 0. After two defeats our luck was due for a change. -63- were responsible for many exciting games. FIRST WIN Beaver's faltering attack began to show a little life when they defeated Leetsdale 12 to 0. Although the Bobcats had shown no offensive power in their first two engagements, they had shown promise of things to come. During a bruising first half neither team was able to penetrate its opponents, thirty-yard line. Both teams had a stiff defense but neither was able to put together a sustained drive. Late in the third period Roush intercepted a Leetsdale pass and carried it to the ten-yard line. From there Boden bowled over for the first score. In the fourth quarter Leeitsdale, desperately try- ing to come back, threw a long forward pass which speed boy Casteel intercepted and went all the way for the touchdown. Both placements were wide. The teams played a hard fought game. Several injuries were received by Leetsdale and Beaver's Jack McDer- mott suffered a neck injury. REVENGE IS SWEET The Bobcats, finally hitting their stride, bowled over Monaca 12-0, Beaver, led by the smart quarter- backing of Cameron and ferocious line play, played its best game so far this year. The first quarter was spent with each team's trying to find the other's weaknessg consequently, most of the play was at midfield. In the second quarter, though, Beaver began a sustained drive that was climaxed when Don Ray, on an of-tackle play, scored the first touchdown. Beaver, however, did not make the extra point. During the third quarter it looked bad for the Bobcats when Monaca drove to Beaveris thirteen-yard line. Magnificent play by the complete forward wall saved the day, and Beaver took over on downs. From that point Beaver staged a drive of their own which was completed when Ray tossed a pass to Hayes, who lateraled to Casteel, who ran thirty yards for the touchdown. That was all the scoring needed for Beaver to come out on top of a very hard fought ball game. ABOUT FACE Any resemblance between the teams that played against New Brighton in the first and the second halves was purely coincidental. In the first half Beaver played as if they were sleep-walking, and the line, which had been so aggressive against Monaca, just didnit seem to have it, New Brighton scored early when Ayers, their star left end, snared a touchdown pass in the end zone. New Brightonis placekick, however, was blocked by Greek Staub, Beaver's left guard. New Brighton threatened many times during the first half, but Beaver held. Until this day no one but the team knows what Mr. Kane said during the half-time, but the Bobcats came out in the second half, snarling for revenge. The crush of Beaver linemen hitting the poor New Bright- on backs will long be remembered at Gypsy Glen Stadium. Near the end of the third quarter Ray faded back and passed to golden boy Hayes, who grabbed the pigskin and plunged across for the six points. Taking no chances, quarterback Cameron sent Boden into the line on a straight buck for the extra point. This put Beaver in front to stay. New Brighton did not have a chance after that. The Front Line, Inc. didn't give an inch of precious yardage and Beaver came in on the right side of a 7 to 6 score. GET OUT THE ADDING MACHINE Beaver traveled to Freedom, where the Bobcats trampled the Bulldogs 34 to O. Wiith lightning-like precision Beaver proved to Freedom that tea and cake is not such a bad diet after all. One of the highlights of the first half was when Howard Carper returned a punt seventy yards to help set up the first touchdown. Early in the first half Boden and Ray each scored two touchdowns and the extra points to put the Bobcats ahead. Late in the third quarter Ray fiipped a pass to Koenig Hayes, who rambled over the Freedom goal for a -touchdown. Beaver's line, as usual, played a magnificent game, outcharging the lighter Freedom line in every minute of play. The well-played and hard-fought game was enjoyed by all. The players and spectators alike should be congratulated for their sportsman-like conduct. STORM WARNINGS FALSE When the Beaver Bobcats and the Butler Tor- nadoes clashed, the storm forecasted was reversed with the Bobcats causing a mild hurricane. Early in the first quarter Casteel, on a wide reverse, swiveled-hipped his way over for the first touchdo-wn. Shortly after that Loncher tackled the Butler ball carrier, causing him to fumble deep in his own territory. Beaver pounced on the ball and capitalized on Butleris mistake. After several plays Cameron went over on a quarterback sneak. Near the half-time, Ray faded back and flipped a touchdown pass to Hayes for the third score of the game. Boden plunged for extra poin-ts after each touchdown. Late in the third quarter Ray riHecl a pass to Hayes for the fourth touchdown. The extra point was added on an end sweep by Ray. The Beaver line did everything but carry the ball, with Staub and Weaver in the Butler backfield almost as fast as the ball was snapped. The whole line -Holt, Weaver, Staub, Roush, Forsythe, Pinkerton, Hayes and alternate Lewis, should be commended for their fine work. Everyone had a lot to do in the 28 to O rout of Butler and deserves equal credit. BEAVER BOWS TO CORY The Coraopolis Blue Devils rolled up a score of 24 to 6 against the Beaver Bobcats. First downs were even at 15 for each team, but the difference was that Cory picked up numerous long gains while the Bob- cats ground theirs out in small pieces. Although the Bobcats were unable to solve the Coraopolis T-formation charges through the line, they had the distinction of being the second team to score against the air-tight Blue Devil defense this season. The Cory team marched 78 yards for its first .tally in the opening period. A 35-yard pass from Beggerstaff to Trello helped out considerably. Another long pass took them to the Bobcats' 5-yard line. Trello plunged over for the first T. D. Parelli was smothered when he tried for the extra point. In the second stanza Cory halted Beaver on the 19-yard line and then marched 81 yards for another T. D. The try for the extra point was stopped cold. The Blue Devils added two more touchdowns in the third quarter. Late in the third quarter Beaver started an 81-yard march down the field that ended in a touchdown. Two short passes to Hayes by Ray and Casteel brought them to the three where Ray went wide to score standing up. Staub's being injured in the game hindered the fighting Bobcat line. , U ,gl C , 3 L , fi M 1 ff : X L Q W: 5 1 f fb, 5 fa i t SE W A wiiw i In :A k . K Q V K 51.11 .ik G , 1 ' .

The tables were especially inviting with their colorful decorations of flowers, candy, nuts, and fruit. The seniors' table centerpiece was the football which was used in the Roch- ester game. Miniature statuettes of each senior player, made by Mr. Casteel, were used as place cards. After Dr. E. Marcellus Nesbitt voiced the invocation, everyone seated themselves with anticipation of great things to come. Nor were they disappointed! Line after line of beautiful girls and attractive matrons filed through and deluged them with turkey and all the trimmings.', The unique dessert of ice cream, bearing the inscription, Beaver 14, Rochy 13 was admired and enjoyed by all. Mr. David Cameron, acting as toastmaster, introduced Dr. G. A. McCormick, who praised the team for their fine record this year. Mr. Kane was introduced next, who told his annual story about the banquet season being his favorite part of the year. Following this, Mr. Cutri praised Mr. Kane and the team for their fine record throughout the sea- son. Mr. Linn added his word of praise and appreciation to the coaches and the team and then presented the letters to the underclassmen. Next Chuck Wilson, radio an- nouncer from WBVP, gave a talk about sports announcing. The thrill of the evening was the talk by Red Moore, star guard of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Red held the boys enthralled with the account of his experiences in college and professional football. A question period by the boys followed, which could have lasted far into the night. The crowd was in a grand mood! Paul Jones, remembering that Red Moore played high school football for Rochester, could not resist asking one more question, Say, Red, is this the first time that you have ever eaten cake?,' The honorary captain, Robert Greek Staub, after an informal talk, presented gifts to the coaches from the team. The highlight of the evening came when Mrs. Ernest Casteel presented silver foot- balls to the Juniors and gold footballs and sweaters to the Seniors. -73- The stars of tomorrow have alot to live up to Tow Row: Russell Kerr, Harold Allen, David Grossglass, Phil McCoy, Ralph Clinarcl, Jack Henderson, Richard Yenni, Fred Kirchner, Coach Johnson.

After eliminations he still had a good sized ball club and they had a fairly good season, Winning two, losing two, and tieing one. Both the team and the Junior High stu- dent body showed a good lighting spirit which, if continued, will insure a fine spirit of sports- manship in Beaver High School in the coming YCSIS.

CHEERLEADERS Neither rain, snow, nor sleet dampened the high spirits of our faithful cheerleaders through- out the past year. Clad in white sweaters, red skirts, and red and white saddle shoes, this lively group not only led cheers, but also kept good sportsmanship among the students. They aroused pep in the students during both victory and defeat. This year the girls worked up several new cheers which were accepted enthu- siastically by the student body. Despite the fact that this group had no sponsor, they did an excellent job under the fine leadership of Sally Lou Jones, the head cheerleader. Russell Hen- ry, Bob Lanahan, and Tom Piemme, clad in white shirts and pants, red sweaters, and saddle shoes, created a novelty as cheerleaders at one of our games. Beaver High School hasn't had boy cheerleaders since the 1942-1943 sea- son. Tryouts for new cheerleaders were held at the close of the football season. A large per- centage of the sophomore girls participated. It was very difficult for this year's cheerleaders to chose new members, but finally all were eliminated except our present new cheerleaders, Patty Anzio, Carolyn Cooper, and Hilda Haire. They have proved themselves capable of this honor by performing at the basketball games. Last year Velma Lou Anderson, Nancy Lindahl and Evalyn Savisky were selected as new cheerleaders to replace Janice Hanley and Betty Lou Stahlman, who graduated. Sally Lou Jones, Connie Craft and Miriam Guda are the veterans of two years. Each year the girls are awarded a gift by the Football Mothers. This year the gifts were beautiful handkerchiefs. In addition to this, the senior members received silver footballs with their initials on them. Congratulations to this group for their untiring effort, which helped to make the season a success.

Row 1: Dick Campbell, Jerry Lewis, Jim Adams, Bob Rogus, Vernon Casteel, Dick Cameron, When basketball practice began in No- vember, Mr. Cutri had the return of four let- termen and several promising reserves. The re- turning lettermen and reserves were Dick Cameron, Dick Campbell, Vernon Casteel, Bob Rogus, Jim Adams, Jerry Lewis, Bill Segmiller, Gordon Milligan and Jim Pinkerton. Three of these players were big question marks, for Jim Pinkerton was recovering from a broken arm, and Bob Rogus and Jim Adams were both recovering from operations. All three of these players participated in games but did not reach their top playing form until late in the season. Beaver played several practice games with Ambridge and with a group of former grad- uates of Beaver High. The purpose of these -77- games was to smooth out Beaver,s ball handling and defensive work. Ac the end of the season Beaver was in third place in the county and was the only team in Section 6 besides Monaca who beat Midland. The individual scoring honors went to lanky Bob Rogus who scored 219 points. Both Rogus and Casteel were elected to a place on the all-county team. Ar the end of a successful season the team unanimously elected Vernon Casteel as captain. Vernon was a two-year letterman and was an outstanding defense man as well as a high scoring forward. . . .Junior Edition . . . o l Back Row: Ronald Mott, John Miller, Gale McKensie, Dick Staub, Charles Grant.

Seated: Robert Lanahan, Richard Cameron, William Todd, Law- rence Loncher, Dale Anzio, Jack Oakes. BASEBALL When Mr. Kane called for candidates for the baseball team in early March, there were only two lettermen to respond to the call, Bill Todd and ,lay Aldrich. In April, before the first game was played, Mr. Kane announced that his starters would be: Freeland at first, Todd at second, Anzio at short, Segmiller at third, Cameron in right field, Loncher in center field, Lanahan in left field, Staub catching, with Milligan and Cas- teel doing most of the pitching. The team suf- fered a serious setback when Jay Aldrich was lost for the season with a chipped bone in his knee. Beaver dropped its first game with Roch- ester 2 to l and kept right on losing until they beat Monaca 8 to 7l The main reason for Beaverls poor season was inexperience. The 1949 squad will not be so greatly hampered by inexperience with the return of such experienced players as Cameron, Camp- bell, Clark, Casteel, Lanahan, Milligan, Oakes, Segmiller, and Staub.

A. C. The Boys' Athletic Club was formed in 1944 under the supervision of Mr. Richard Smith. The main idea of the club was to promote sportsman- ship and to help build healthy bodies. This club has grown to become one of the most popular clubs in school and almost every boy who is eligible belongs to the club. This year the Boys' Athletic Club, under the supervision of Paul Jones, met in November and formed an intramural basketball league. The teams formed were: The Sons of Greece, captained by Bob Staubg Five Feathers, captained by Bob Gif- ford, Cake-eaters, captained by Ken Blair, Feather- weights, captained by Frank Forsythe, Cream- -83 Puffs, captained by Bill Edgar, Hackers, captained by Koenig Hayes, Sharon Inners, captained by Matt Launcher, and the Teasippers, captained by Bob Weaver. Plans were made for a three-game playoff between the two sectional winners to de- termine the champions. Several of these games were very exciting. The highlight of the season, however, was when Jack Oakes made thirty points in one game. When the basketball season was over, the boys competed in boxing, wrestling, and softball. The Boys, Athletic Club has done much to pro- mote good sportsmanship and to develop leaders in our high school.

FOUR DAUGHTERSH The senior class of 1948 made a fitting climax to their high school career with the splendid per- formance of Four Daughtersf, The cast was well chosen and directed by Miss Cathryne Esenwein and they displayed great dramatic ability. The play was about the musical Lemp family, headed by Adam Lemp and including his four daughters and Aunt Etta.

'49's Life With Father was a howling success LIFE WITH FATHER The Christmas gift of the senior class was presented to the public on December 17, after many weeks of hard Work and rehearsals. It was worth the work, however, as Clarence Dayis Life With Fathern was a huge success. The cast, directed by Miss Cathryne Esen- wein, was composed of many favorites includ- ing Roy Anderson as Father and Shirley Over- holt as Vinnie, his devoted spouse. The story concerns the affairs of the riot- ous Day family. Mother can't keep her house- hold accounts straight, the red-headed sons, including Dave Haire as Clarence, Robert Lanahan as John, Ruth Johnson as Whitney, and Donnie McConnaughy, our import from second grade, as the youngest son, Harlan, find TOP PICTURE- life troublesome and filled with such things as catechism, new suits, and girls. The story takes on an even funnier aspect when Cousin Cora, portrayed by Nancy Hansen, and Mary Skinner, played by Lois Dyer, come to visit the Day family, Father hates visitors. The five maids, played by Patty Grant, Sally Lou Jones, Connie Craft, Margaret Wheeler, and Patty Shiveleyg the minister, Bill Traynor, and the doctors, Robert Moore and Bill Standleyg all made their contributions to make Q'Life With Fatherv a howling success. Joanne Thornton gave excellent help as student director and Nancy Javens ably handled the business de- partment. Orchids to the Senior Class for their successful class play.

From the class of '48 came these honor HONOR GROUP Some students receive credit for being out- standing in athletics, some are rewarded for their notable service in activities, therefore, we believe that it is only proper for some to be commended for their undeniable ability as scholars. By using the tools of hard work and study, the thirteen young men and women pictured here have attained the first qualifica- tion for success. Their fine records of scholar- ship are more than worthy of your attention, thus, it is with humble pleasure and sincerity that we, the class of 1949, set aside this page as a small dedication to the honor students of 1948.

MAY DAY The annual May Day ceremony held at the Gypsy Glen Stadium on May 10, 1948 seemed to be the best presentation ever. To begin with, it was the first time it had ever been held on the appointed day, generally it is postponed several days because of weather conditions, but luck was with us this year. The queen of the May was blonde Virginia Mae Figley. Her maid of honor was Julianne Cooper. The court was as follows: Jean Camp- belle, Yvonne Gardner, Janice Hanley, Jo Lees, Barbara Sohn, and Quinette Strouss. The flower girls were: Carol Ann Field, Sally Grant, Char- lene Lewis, and Judith Wylie. Scepter bearer, Tommy Ensign, crown bearer, Alex Sebastian, and train bearers, Edwin Rowse, III and Scott Sankey. May Day was under the capable direc- tion of Mrs. Mary Ellen Guilliams. Music was provided by our high school orchestra under the direction of Mr. Jack Brammer. The beginning of the program was an- nounced by the processional of the beautiful queen, her court was preceded by the colorful group of senior girls carrying large bouquets of flowers. Virginia Figley, the 1948 May Queen, was then crowned by her maid of hon- or, Judy Cooper. Then the fun was on. Crazy looking peo- ple called clowns came onto the field from all directions, tumbling as they came. They were bedecked in many different kinds of polka-dot and striped clown suits. These funny looking, red-faced clowns did a tumbling act. As soon as they tumbled OH7 the field the Beaver High School band struck up an inspiring march while the smart looking majorettes paraded into the center of attraction. They performed with their batons and added a touch of originality to their actions. After such an active presenta- tion, the students in the Blue Danube waltzed across the grass dressed in black ballerina skirts and white blouses. The band then changed the tempo of the waltz to that ever familiar 1'Turkey in the Strawn and the hill billies of Beaver High School ran out from the sides garbed in '1jeans, bright plaid shirts, straw hats, gingham dresses and men's shoes. A very clever square dance was presented by this lively group. Again the tempo was changed to that of a march and a group of girls dressed in white sailor middies and blue shorts filed onto the open air stage and formed a circle. The feature of this group was flag twirling, which created a very nice effect. This year for the first time in Beaver High School, the Peer Gynt Suitev was interpreted. In this interpretation, Peer Gynt was a king of long ago who had been saddened by the death of his sweetheart. The first dance was Morning, the awakening of the forest. The king then called his dancing chorus to see if they could bring him cheer. The Arabian dance was interpreted with a solo by Sally Lou Jones. The impression it gave was really very wonderful. The kingfs 'favorite dancing girl Anitra, tried next to cheer him. Peggy Buckenheimer was the soloist in that beautiful part of the pro- gram. Peer Gynt, the king, played by Anne Miller, was then beseiged by devils and gob- lins in The Hall of the Mountain King. The devils were dressed in fiery red and the gob- lins in black. They surrounded the king and did a strange dance which slowly drove the king out of his mind. The interpretation of Peer Gynt Suite was followed by the traditional Maypole dance. Although not the usual custom, peasant blouses and black ballerina skirts were worn this year instead of evening gowns. Plaid petticoats hung beneath the skirts and plaid bows were worn in the hair of the dancers. The recessional concluded another beau- tiful May Day program of B. H.
