Yazoo City High School - Mingo Chito Yearbook (Yazoo City, MS)

Foreword For years we have been writing a continued book —a diary. We have included everything that has ever happened to us. or because of us. The begin- ning was long ago, and the end . . . well ... no one knows. We. the Mingo Chito staff, invite you to look into your 1964 diary. We have tried to include every memory of a wonderful year, a year which was unforgettable, a year which was ours. The year had many aspects, each a product of the class it represented. To the Seniors it meant a finishing of one stage of life, a grasping of a goal long awaited; to the underclassmen it was one step more toward a search for their goal. The reali- zation of a year that meant the same things in a different way to each student of YHS, will be un- folded in these pages of the Mingo Chito. “The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on.” 2

1964 Dedication The cheerful smile which is always there, the willingness to give of himself, and the joy he gets in helping others, characterizes our “Music Man.” A veteran of many years in the musical field. Mr. Stanley C. Beers has worked hard to give to YHS a marching band, of which we can indeed be proud. His dedication to the service of others through the world of music, his capacity and enthusiasm for hard work have captured the hearts of this student body. Mr. Beers, head of our band department, is an exceptionally well-trained, talented, and exper- ienced person, whose enthusiasm, knowledge, and qualities of leadership have been an inspiration to all of us. His contributions to YHS campus life surely will be enduring. His ideals, always expressed quietly and unassumingly, are ones that students w'ill long remember. For his complete selflessness, his sin- cere desire to help all students, and his genuine interest in his profession, we dedicate the 1964 Mingo Chito to you. Mr. Beers. A man of unlimited talents, Mr. Beers gives of himself unceasingly to help others. In his favorite chair, with his pipe and newspaper, Mr. Beers relaxes after a day of hard work. Though “catchy” music is his work, catching fish seems to be his pleasure. Aside from his other hobbies, Mr. Beers is an accomplished photographer. 3
