Beaver High School is no exception. Each November, when our football team meets the Rochester Rams, another game is added to the chain which spans over forty years. Hand in hand with this game go the Old Oaken Bucket, and the classic Rochy pep meeting. The design for our class rings is a tradition dating back to 1941, and a twenty-three-year-old tradition, Mayday, was culminated this year. The name Shingas itself is a tradition which was started in the 1920's. Before that, it was simply called the Annual . The tradition which most a'FFects and identi- ties Beaver High however, is that of the Bobcat. Not only is Bobcat a name for our football team, but it also is the symbol of our school spirit- enthusiasm, independence, and pride. It has only been during the last seven years that these ideals have been given tangible form. This came about in the creation ot the live Bob- cat, and even though he is only a senior boy in a furry gray suit, he is the symbol of all that the tradition of the Bobcat stands for. Six boys have thus far served as Bobcat. The first was Dan Edgar, who was Bobcat in 1959 and 1960. Then in succession came Dave Shoup, Jim Hagarman, Bob Heddleston, Dave Morton, and Dave Sebastian. The tradition ofthe Bobcat has figured heavi- ly in the cover of this year's Shingas. On the back cover is a raised picture of the Bobcat, the symbol of Beaver High School. Our lives for the past three years have revolved around this sym- bol and it is with great pride that we present it upon this, the 1965 SHINGAS. 3 f 5 by S Q

Dedicated to: Throughout our years in high school, we students come in contact with many teachers, a few of whom we will remember all of our lives for their leadership, their originality, and their inspiration. These few have managed to stop us on our merry way and give us something to think about-an ideal to achieve--a goal to reach. Such has been the inspiration of the person to whom we wish to dedicate our Shingas. Our selection this year is a teacher who was born near Bristol in Scott County, Virginia. She attended Pocahontas High School where her father was principal. She maintained a straight-A average and served as a cheerleader and president of her senior class. When she was seventeen, her mother died and she was left to care for a younger brother and three younger sisters while commuting to Virginia Inter- mont College in Bristol. From there she went to Richmond Polytechnic Institute where she maiored in pharmacy. She met her husband, who was stationed in a Virginia naval camp, and transferred to Geneva Col- lege to continue her education-this time in chemistry. She and her husband have been living in Beaver since 1955. They have two young sons, Jim and Tom, and are looking forward to another addition in the very near future. Her interests are many and varied. While her greatest enthusiasm centers in her teaching, her school spirit is felt very deeply and her pep and encouragement support our teams in defeat or victory. An- other interest is in the field of music, where she enioys playing the piano. Her performance in teacher-science programs attended during summer vacations has earned her high honors. She is a conscientious teacher who has the rare capability of pre- senting chemistry as the challenge of a new adventure which leads to a worthwhile future. It is with great respect and admiration that we, the class of 1965, dedicate our Shingas to
