He is the sponsor of the Key Club, which he hopes to make into a more forceful agent in the school and community. When asked what interests him most about American history, Mr. Beasley responded: 'Y think it is because ours is a history of people trying to make a better society. It is in this very litful process of improving the society and conditions for us that attracts me. Despite our shortcomings, we seem to ha ve moved further than anyone else in this endea vor, and that's something to be proud about and something we want to continue.
