meobcafion To this Bethel High School, which will never after this year graduate a senior class, we lovingly dedicate this Beacon. The memories of our days here will ree main with us all our lives. We will always be grateful to you, Bethel, for the lessons in living that you have taught us. Since the time you first graduated a class you have sheltered and watched over many, many classes giving them all objectives with which to face life. From a small beginning you have grown into a large institution, many additions have been made to you, you have survived fire, storm, and time. Twenty years ago your graduating class contained nineteen, this lune We stand one hundred strong. Mr. Buck, our supervising principal, has said The only certain thing in this changing world is that there will be change. So it is with you and though we are nostalgic, we are proud of you and your achievement, for you have proved equal to the task of chang- ing. Now we are graduating, and because we are the last, we hope that you may especially remember us. We, of the Class of l953, love you Bethel, and we hope that you will stand forever atop the sumrnit's brow, giving to countless students of the future the priceless things which you have given us!

They are the representatives of the stockholders of the circus, and their job is to see that the circus is run in accordance with the wishes of the majority of the stockholders and to meet the needs of the performers. It is their responsibility to see that performers are properly trained so that they may successfully compete with others in that great performance-life. The members who make up this board are: Mr. Lawrence Fife, President, Mr. Allan Reid, Vice Presidentg Mrs. Eleanor Knabe, Treasurer, Mr. Herbert Wissingerp Mr. Denny Smith, Mr. William Parmelee, and Mr. Kenneth Carson. Mr. Frank lack is secretary of the board and it is his duty to see that their plans are carried to The school board determines the curriculum of the school. lt is due to them and the admin- istration that new courses will be offered next year, and the new shops, equipment, and facili- ties are an example of their progressive think- ing and planning. Within the last few years, Bethel has been constantly growing and this growth has created a great problem in the school system. The board is to be commended for its handling of this problem. Last spring construction work was begun on a new high school, which will be completed this spring. This school, the product of the board's dreams and plans, is certainly proof that they have the best interests of the youth of completion. the community foremost in their minds. .girfwof ,glcrefariezi From left to riahh Mrs. Huber Mrs. McKelvie, and Mrs. l-lansell.
