Beverly Hills High School - Watchtower Yearbook (Beverly Hills, CA)

THE Living in a Time of war, tension, and great unrest has taken something from many of The American people. It has taken away part ofthe spirit of the American way of lite-the ability To laugh aT one another. Some people have almost lost This wonderful gift, and so we aT Beverly Hills High School are Trying to recapture iT. Will Rogers became famous for his way of making fun of The American people and Their idiosyncrasies and was The naTion's idol-but is There anyone like him now? Al Capp's Lil Abner comic strip was created because Capp reveled in The freedom of laughing at American customs and habits, but he can no longer make fun of These characteristics without occasional criticism. In their talent show the seniors laughed at Beverly and other people's opinions of our school. You, the student body, laughed with them and with your laughter realized what a tine school Beverly is and what great advantages we have. With that laughter came the realization that it is more fun to be average and really enioy life than to think ourselves superior because of our advantages. With the senior show in mind the WATCHTOWER staff of 1952 decided to follow in the faculty's footsteps and invade Dogpatch. We wanted to see how Mammy and Pappy Yokum, Lil Abner, Daisy Mae, and all the rest of the Dogpatch populace depict Beverly High and our activities. Throughout the book, by means of two Beverly Hill- billies, the WATCHTOWER art staff has endeavored to recreate its impression of Beverly through the eyes of the Yokums and the Scraggs. Daisy Mae and Lil Abner will be a part ofthe American way of life for many years to come, and the WATCHTOWER staff hopes that this annual will long be a part ot your life and will bring back fond memories ofthe year i951-1952 at Beverly High. -M '
