From Classbook to Trggker to Silver Anniversary-Twenty-five Years Filled with Remembered Events 1939 and a homemade class- book , the forerunner of the first real TRUCKER of 60 pages-from these beginnings, though relatively small, a phase of Churchland High School came into being that for an untold number of Truckers has served as a memory book of faces and friends, of times good and bad, of contests won and lost, of knowl- edge acquired, of clubs and offices held-each of the editions a gentle reminder of a year spent learning, playing, working, participating, sharing. Except for l95l when there was no yearbook due to the transition from an eleven grade school to a twelve grade school, CHS TRUCKER staffs have en- deavored to record the students and their activities in a way that, year in and year out, would serve to refresh memories and to act as one link with the past. The i968 staff has tried to continue this tradition with the presenta- tion of the silver anniversary edi- tion of the Churchland High School TRUCKER. ss sw E K .Q E

Churchland goes big time! Thus wrote the Trucker staff of 1945 as Churchland High School got its second administrator in the person of Mr. Frank Beck. Coming into the life of Truckers as assist- ant principal in that year, students readily found in Mr. Beck a real friend - one intensely interested' in every phase of school life. Being second in command at CHS only lasted one year, for in 1946 he was elevated to the po-sition of princi- pal - the number one Trucker, the head man, the boss. Since that year, Mr. Beck has been the strong- est booster of CHS and its activi- ties. Always present at plays, con- certs, athletic contests, receptions, meetings, and school programs, Twenty-four Years of Service to Truckers End as Mr. Beck Becomes Happy Wanderer Leaving Halls of CHS as Principal Mr. Beck has always found time to chat informally with students in the halls, to listen patiently to any complaints, to pass out bouquets over the PA system, to be the first to promote school-community rela- tions, and in general to be just what the last three letters of his title- spell - PAL. With such in mind, the staff of the 1968 Trucker takes great pride and much pleasure in dedicating its twenty-fifth edition to Mr. Frank D. Beck, and the whole school says a hearty thank you for a job well-done as he, the all- time Mr. Churchland, retires in June as the principal of Church- land High and becomes the happy wanderer. MR. FRANK D. BECK carries out his daily task of passing out a few bouquets during morning announcements. 4 l
