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

President Jimmy Elkins, with his dangerous weapon, the gavel, presided over each meeting. Everyone usually paid close attention, except J. W. Keathley, who was always looking at Varner Hines. preparation. Monday is usually an experiment day for “Uncle George,” who insists on fumi- gating the entire school with death defying hydrogen sulfide. If anyone happened to be asleep, this would surely awaken him. One of the year’s highlights was the Y- Club initiation, which began on Monday. This first day was always the worst—the worst smell, the worst looks, and the worst punishment!! Poor Buzz Morrow, who al- ways laughed, always got the bad end of everything. David Hatchett may be little, but powerful—he could really swing that board!! Mondays were blue, bad, and sometimes even sad, but never, never dull! There were always those little things just made to cheer one up—things that meant something to no one else but you ! 5
