Mrs, Beasley . . . She always came running with ice- pack, stretcher, band-aid or even an occasional aspirin. Somehow, it seemed Mrs, B, was always the one who stayed cool and calm. Well, Mrs, Beasley has been tend- ing to injured students for the past thirteen years. The first four years she worked for the entire county, cover- ing all the high schools and elemen- tary schools as well. On weekends she even worked at the Old Dixie Hospi- tal, Mrs, B, said her main reason for keeping this extremely busy job was that she loves young people and hates to see them get hurt. She has always been a friend to every student at York, and has mended many other things besides broken bones. Clinic

Guidance Is Responsible for Holding SCOPE Together Although the SCOPE pro- gram ran into a few rough spots in its first year, the number of problems it didn’t run into were overwhelming. York’s guidance department should have been commended for keeping things running as smoothly as they did. It was the responsibility of five people to keep 1495 students from crossing lines and coming up a Va credit short.

With one counse- lor per grade, one director, and Mrs. Pippin as the only secre- tary, the department did an excellent job. 1 4 Guidance
