The ’69’ Bobcat BEEMER HIGH SCHOOL Beemer, Nebraska ADMINISTRATION SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE Mr. Cash-Superintendent, speech, geometry You, the Class of 1969, face a great fu- ture, filled with unlimited opportunities that are there—waiting for you. The space age is in its infancy and its limits are infinite. The world is presently in a period of crisis, with many of your former classmates and some of you, answering the call to the service of this great country of ours during one of its periods of dilemma. All of these make the prospective future for you one of interest and fulfillment. We, the faculty, the school board and citizens of Beemer, have spared no effort or cost to give you the best possible foundation on which to build the future you so richly deserve. My final plea is to the Master Architect of all mankind and of the Universe that he bless, guide, and look after you so that the rest of your life may be happy and fruitful. Wayne A.
