Adams With these words we dedicate the 1969 Tamarack to Mrs. Helen Beaver, who retired this year. A graduate of the University of Tennessee, Mrs. Beaver has taught in many schools. Among these are the Pueblo Junior College, Pueblo, Colorado; University of Washington, Seattle, Washington; and the University of Montana, Missoula, Montana. Since 1951, Mrs. Beaver has been on the North Central High School home economics staff. At the time of her coming to North Central, the famous North Central Doll Shop was yet being produced. Throughout the years of its presentation, Mrs. Beaver designed and made the costuming for the show. Sewing, tailoring and child development have been subjects specifically under her direction in the home economics department. Upon retirement Mrs. Beaver and her husband, retired engineer, Lewis K. Beaver, plan to travel, visiting in Hawaii and spending more time in Alaska with her daughter and her family. Summing up the feeling of countless students who have known Mrs. Beaver is the remark of former student, Mrs. Carol Nybert Quigley: "She is to me the perfect example of a lady' one of those rare people who make you realize the only limitations in life are those we set upon ourselves." 20 School board members: John Warn Byron Swanson Gordon Luscher Helen Rymond Orville Barnes Dr. Albert Ayars Hope for Success Lies in Common Understanding North Central's educational by the Board.
