Our class was not one that stood out brilliantly in the history of Beaver High School. Our teachers said we were a "bunch of rowdies." What we did best was enjoy ourselves, and oh yes all the guys went off to WW II as soon as graduation was over. We did produce a lawyer, a couple of college professors, and it was whispered that one guy turned out to be a millionaire, although we were never sure. You just don't go up to a person and say, "How much money do you have, Bud?" So we never knew. The rest of us got regular jobs and proceeded to live out our lives. Hardly any of the girls went on to college. We just hunted husbands, which was what girls did in those days. We were a collection of very average Americans. And when we gathered together in 1993, 1 was so proud of them I got tears in my eyes. Everyone of them was a suc . I JESSUP'S STORY 1 by Shirley Howard I always think of Dave Jessup as being tall and dark. Tall and dark and nice looking and quiet. We had a number of quiet guys in our 1943 class at Beaver High School, and he was one of the quietest. He had an outdoor look about him. Even then he looked like a young man of the Old West, llots of black hair and tan skin. He sort of looked like a young sheriff. (Now he looks like an old sheriff.) At our 1993 reunion he told us intriguing bits and pieces of his life, so I finally got around to making an appointment to interview him "Dave," I said, turning on my recorder, "tell me your story." So on a July afternoon the youngold sheriff settled back in a soft chair in my living room, and, as the breezes of summer wafted in through my west windows, he began to talk. "I grew up in Pioche, Nevada, and Adamsville, Utah. lived in Pioche two different times when was growing up. When times were good, we stayed on the farm in Adamsville. When times were bad, we went back to Pioche, and my Dad would go back to work in the mines." "I was in Adamsville when they moved the schools, from Adamsville to Beaver." he hesi"Do you tated a moment. remember Milton Smith who died in World War II?" I nodded. Of course, I remembered Milton.

' That's what we turned out to be. To make my point let me tell you about one of them. When I called Dave Jessup to ask permission to tell his story, he told me that Sam Cox was coming out with the story of the Adamsville Cemetery that very week. Since I was going in a completely different direction, I decided to go ahead. I hope Sam won't mind. WereThe Way 8. July 24th Parade cess.

On this very first day when they moved the schools from Adamsville to Beaver, I was standing there alone, and this kid came up d tall, and said. 'Why don't you come out and play baseball with us?..." said, 'Wait until I get "Okay," hat.' turned my away to get my hat off the rack and when I turned back I couldn't remember which kid had asked me. So, anyhow, I went out and played ball, and Milton and I made friends. Then I moved back to Pioche." "Then when I was in high school, I moved back to Beaver. I was standing there again, and this big, tall, blond guy came up and asked me to come and play football with them. We became such good friends that one day I said, 'Milton, do you remember when I came to Beaver when I was in the 4th or 5th grade?' He 'Was that you who nodded. came up and asked me to play baseball?' Milton laughed and said that it was."
