Beboppin' and Jitterbuggin' at the Beehive! I can still bop, can you? I just can't
do it as long as I could many moons ago. Ha!
Thanks to Marilyn Ash class of 1959 for sending the original Beehive Directory
for the years 1955-1956 and to Paul Fitzner for scanning it and uploading it to
his class of 1961 website and sending it to me too. However, due to the years of
the directory and the photos, I believe it fits websites relating to the fifties.
Therefore I converted it to a pdf file and added it to our class website. Perhaps
Paul will put it in the History of Thomas Jefferson High School website. He now
has it in the pdf format in his class website. Thanks for the credit given Paul!
The directory includes names from Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson, Port Neches,
Bishop Byrne, St. James, Groves, and Port Acres students. It appears most of the
members were from TJ and BB. However, the W by some names tells me that was the
school the person was attending when they joined the Beehive. Check it out. The
list includes addresses and telphone numbers. Do you remember what your phone
number was way back then? What does the M stand for, which school? Was Nederland
High School called Mid-County back then?
J = Jefferson; B = Bishop Byrne; PN = Port Neches; G = Groves; W = Woodrow Wilson;
A = Stephen F. Austin; M = Mid-County (Nederland) I suppose.
The Beehive cover image is linked directly to a pdf file of the Beehive Directory.
You will need Adobe Reader which is free to download at Adobe Reader Download.
Some of the pages are sideways because that's how the book was printed. There is
a function in Adobe Reader to rotate the page either clockwise or counter clockwise.
Click on View and select Rotate. However, this will rotate all of the pages and you
will have to repeat that function to rotate the pages back. Why not just save the
file and print it out?
