Since all of us like music-of varied and different kind, We've tried to write our Song of Life with melody in mind . . . Our melody was simple when it started on its way, And then we added little things-to interrupt each day, Like fun and friends and happy times, and memories We recall- The things that make our high school days important to us all. It's all been done with music-the kind you like the best, From concert hall to polka band, from eastern world to west. YVe've tried to cover everything, and please the most of you, QAnd any skeptics in the bunch, we hope you're happy tooll We've done our final polishing, and here for all to see Our Beacon Book of ,56 . .

Since our Senior High School was built, we, the Senior Class of 1956, are the first Horchestrai' to give a complete program on our Sound Stagef, Our Sophomore year was spent in tuning up,', while as Juniors most of our time went into practice sessionsi' that were so important in perfecting our skills. As soloists, our Senior year was a busy one-we spent much time with our critics in preparation for our final concert. On graduation night, we gave our most important performance-on the Sound Stageu of this Wonderful concert hall to which We dedicate our Beacon, 1956- Bethel Senior High School. 4 , .

Most people feel that all a bandleader must do is stand in front of his organi- zation and wave a stick-that lieis really not important at all. Actually, there's a great deal more to it than that . . . a bandleader must have many years of educationg he must know just what function is performed by each of the various sections of his bandg and most important, he must see that each member of the band is doing his part to make it a fine organization, so that there will be no sour notesi' in performance. An extra special Hfanfarei' to Dr. Siedle, Senior High Principal, and Mr. Lauda, Junior High Principal, for proving them- selves fine and able ubandleadersf, MJ' Ll'8Cf0I'f5 In the world of music, directors have the all-important job of picking the musical numbers that they feel would comprise a good program for their orchestra. Here at Bethel, the School Board acts as the director of our orchestra-planning our program so t.hat we may gain the most from playing in this orchestra, Under the supervision of Mr. VVilliam A. Tissue, President, and lVIr. Denny J. Smith, Vice-President, the board has functioned smoothly, promoting our or- chestra and deciding just what musical numbersv they might put on the program to make school more enjoyable for us. Through their continued efforts and hard work, our Horchestrai' has risen to take its place among the finest, with the assurance that it will long remain there. ELZITJLGCJEPJ DR. SIEDLE MR. LAUDA omlaoderd 1 MR. SPENCE MR. HARTLIEB At the top of t.he musical world stand the foremost musicians from all fields-those who have proved themselves to be out- standing through years of hard work and experience. At the top of Bethel's musical world stands Dr. Harry H. llloore, Supervising Principal and the able conductor of our orchestra.,' What makes a good conductor? First, he must have the profound skills neces- sary to lead his orchestra well, and sec- ondly, he must be able to understand and integrate each member of his orches- tra into a fine symphony of sound. In the three years Dr. Moore has been at Bethel, his genuine interest, foresight, and great concern about meeting the needs of each member of his orchestra have made him an important part of our Musical Worldf' and a truly great per- former. 0 When a composer writes an outstanding musical work, he is usually honored by the publishing, and perhaps even the playing of his work by some famous orchestra. In education, the honor is the knowl- edge that through careful composition and organization, hundreds of young people will go out into the world well- equipped to face the future. Mr. Spence, Co-ordinator of Curricu- lu1n, and hir. Hartlieb, Administrative Assistant, through their sincere efforts toward improving our schools, have shown themselves to be able composers, planning the necessary educational back- grounds to make us well-rounded persons and writing our Song of Life in a most enjoyable way. .ibn moore MJ' C0l'l6!M,Ct0l' - -i Altmeyer, Doris B.A., M.A. Anderson, Richard W.

To keep us fit as a fiddle, our Cafeteria Stuff prepares the hot lunches we enjoy each day, under the direction of Mrs. Dickey, our dietician. The Custodians are responsible for our clean halls and a warm building in winter, and our Nurse's office takes care of our minor ills, to keep us sharp at all times. Junior and Senior High offices attend to the clerical work necessary to keep our musical instrument in good condition. Lmior Omce mme if Omar!

The Junior Class, in prep- aration for their own solo performance next year, have proven themselves able accoxnpanists. The first ufll1ll1bCI',, on their program was the play Melody Jonesf' which was followed by their class dance, Winter Wonder- land. The object of these presentations was to raise money for the annual Junior-Senior Prom, held at the South Hills Country Club in May. As bands are identified by initials on their music stands, so in the future, lnelnbers of our bands will be identified by the new rings introduced by our Junior Class. ll-C lfoifom Roux' M.

Three nights later, a close 39-44 decision went to West View. After bowing to Munhall, the Blackhawks came up with a winning streak over Donora, Dormont, and Clark, their first league game. Next were two more hard-fought league games, Craf- ton and Carnegie, both of whom forced the team to re- linquish wins again. League games with Baldwin and Brentwood proved the most dramatic of the season, with the scores tied until final seconds of both games. Coach Strall again sent the Blackhawks on a win- ning streak over Clark, and, one of W.P.I.A.L.'s top- ranking teams, Crafton. Our final games were with arch rivals Baldwin and Brentwood, where the team's ability and spirit was again evident. H 77 uhior cmiify llvllom R01l'I S. Depkon, D. Hartz, Q. Currie, E. Yyliite, VV.

Likewise, our Baseball Team, by doing their very best, have risen to become a leading Horchestran in Bethel. The 1955 baseball team was one of the best teams in the history of Bethel High School. Winning their first game with a 3-2 victory over Baldwin, the team Went on to defeat their next ten section competitors, and win their first two games in lV.P.I.A.L. play-offs.

The club has been gaining recognition and is on the way to becoming a Bethel song hit. Their competion includes such schools as Brentwood, Baldwin, Bridgeville and Canonsburg. lawn! WaAer5 . . lawn!

Skill and abili- ty of future artists is developed through discipline and repetition of fundamentals. This fact was learned early by the Junior High basketball players. This year the team scored well.
