But we must move forward with it and in the right direction. All your potential capacity for leadership is needed in building a new world. The sunlight of peace has broken unto the earth againg but you still must go out into a world that was thrown completely out of gear by the impact of war. The social, moral, and economic laws that guided us in the past have been thrown off their cus- tomary courses. These facts all mean that it is an uncertain world unto which we are heading. Keep in mind that there will be many more crucial periods of history in your life timeg and that there will al- ways be a need for skillful guidance of trained leaders. Though the world does not Wait for you, it needs you - youth of steadfast heart and dream filled eyes - and in turn you need faith to keep your standards high. There lie before you innumerable opportunities to earn distinction and honor in the world of tomorrow. W.

Here is wishing each and every one of you the best life has to offer. May your stay in Belle High be a pleasant and profitable one. The experiences you receive in your class rooms, in the extra curri- cular activities, the working on a committee for Jun- ior-Senior Banquet and Prom are all valuable to you. In the Senior year when it is Round Up time and your thoughts turn toward graduation, may your thoughts and memories be one of having had a pleas- ant and worth-while educational experience. Education is more than just accumulation of a mass of facts and historical data. We learn to live in harmony with other people. Through education new avenues of interest are opened for our inspection. Music, Art, Mathematics, Science and Home Eco- nomics and many more interests are developed. It is here we discover lifelong interests that make our social being that much more profitable to ourselves and those with whom we come in contact. Wm.

We have many qualities of interest which stand out as we review our past three years. During the sophomore year, the only quiet year in senior high, we sponsored a few school dances. We shouldn't say that it was our only quiet year, because at that time the juniors initiated us. As class officers we elected Juanita Howell, president, Janice Wood, treasurer, Lorraine Naugle, secretary, and Larry Miller, vice president. We were represented in extra curricular activities with five classmates playing on the football team, and three on the basketball team, Also Hi Times, Chorus, Declam, Glee Club, G. A. A., Cheerleading, and Tumbling saw a large number of our classmen participating. Our junior year held many features which we are proud to remember. We had to raise money for our Stork Club prom and banquet. To raise this money we sold magazine subscriptions. The sales net us S5l9.73, a record for the school. Aki 7m .llaywl limba?

Sport Activities amounted to having eleven classmen out for football. There were five classmen participating in basketball. And a number of the junior girls were taking part in the girl sport activities. In finishing high school eleven of the seniors started in the first grade and have continued through the twelve grades. The students are: Patricia Davis, Phyllis Hannah, Juanita Howell, Delores Kennedy, Bud McCullough, Larry Miller, Lorraine Naugle, Mary Ellen O'Donnell, Mike Schmaltz, Marvin Withrow, and Janice Wood. Our class sponsors are Miss Dean and Mr. Kober, who have been with us through the two preceding years.

I, Gladys Smith, will my love for traveling in a basketball game to all future track stars. I, Jean Viergutz, will my nurse's aid career to Teresa Esquivel.

To the Sophomores we leave our books on 1,000 Ways to Antagonize Teachers. And to the Freshmen we leave our vast number of unusual experiences that they might profit by them.
