BOWHAY Koa 4 of fducation O Because of the many efforts made by the Board of Education to make Beverly High a school of which to be proud, the students owe each member of this board a vote of thanks. Since the war the direction of education has naturally been a much more difficult job, but in spite of this, Beverly has maintained its high standards and ideals. The prime interest of the Board of Education is to see that the scholarship and the achievements of the students remain high, and to help us all do our best, the finest teachers are employed for our benefit. Since the labor shortages and war needs have become so acute, it has been a difficult task to keep the faculty at Beverly up to its usual excellence, but the Board of Education has been notice- ably successful in the employment of the many new teachers whom we have on our faculty. New this year is a course in airplane engines, and through the efforts of the Board of Education, equipment for the shops has been secured from the material, such as, parts, starters, and motors rejected by the Armed Forces. Another ac- complishment was the meeting of the Board with leading citizens of Beverly Hills and neighboring districts to perpetuate the American ideals and traditions. In co- operation with the Navy, the V-l2 program was sponsored again this year, along with several bond drives and war agency drives. The members of the Board of Education are Mrs. losephine H. Fitger, presi- dent: Mr. R. M. Dulin, secretaryg Mrs. Dorothy C. Fess, Mr. Wiley N. Caldwell, and Mr. Howard W. Reynolds. 8 - - - - -v-- Q-..rv,..---..,-.........A..,... . '. . .- .

N, Calfltfill' 14 mini tration a O The closing of the school year brings with it many memories which only yesterday were living realities to the students of Beverly Hills High School. lt is now that you seniors are able to evaluate your experiences of the past four years in the light of the demands which will be made of you as well as the op- portunities which will be yours. I am sure that each of you is finding that the activities in which you took part, the friend- ships you made, and the studies that you have completed will not only remain in your thoughts, but will also serve as guides for your future. To those of you who are graduating we extend our congratulations for your many accomplishments of the past four years and extend to you our sincere best wishes for your future success. lt is not enough to mention only the present graduates, for it is the responsibility of the students who will be here at Beverly during the coming years to carry on the traditions and ideals of your Alma Mater. At times this may be no small task. But it should be remembered that the worthwhile things of life very frequently come about by struggle and diligence to duties and responsibilities. Therefore it is for the present and future students of our school to continue to carry at a high level our stand- ards of achievement. . R. G. MITCHELL 9 ua.,-Alisa. iflf
