SENIOR OFFICERS, L-R: Dare Dcipe, Pichard Fl-nt, Duck Rerlen, Stan Sherman, Nancy Webster, Brad Zylstra, Gayle Peterson. SENIOBS, ON BRINK, LOOK BACK The voyaging class of '57 has finally reached the last bend in the stream, and will be stowing their packs of books for three months till they embark again on the BIG river of college or jobs. Memories of our trek through Bellevue High will help us weather the storms of the future, and as the last class to spend four years in the senior high, We will have more cherished memories than our successors. While more than a little wet behind the ears, we encoutered two memorable teachers-Mr. Cyra who convinced us there was a chair short- age, because he always sat on his desk, and Mrs. Walkinshaw who was a hearty promoter of class spirit. Still shaky as sophomores, we got much en- couragement frorn that kindling wood fancier in 206, Miss Hardy, who will long be remembered for expounding the mysteries of math under a hanging forest of mobiles. Miss Outzs was an- other who urged us forward, with her bubbling personality and avid ski and travel interests. Emerging at last into the light of self-confi- dence, we got a big boost ahead from Mr. Rief and his jokes, and from Mr. Lamont, the Burl Ives of the homespun textile industry. Finally, as skilled travellers, we hiked gaily along through our senior year, pleasantly stimu- lated by ace-psychologist Torgerson and not so agreeably tantalized by the little eight-page quizzes of politician Terrey. The '57 officers guiding us on the last lap of our trek were prexy Richard Flint, veeps Stan Sherman and Dick Heiten, minute minders Nancy Webster and Gayle Peterson, and keepers of the kopeks Dave Doupe and Brad Zylstra. The soph hop and junior prom, our first two large celebrations, showed how original and creative we were, but they were nothing com- pared to the Senior Ball, most gala time of all. Standing now where the river of school days foams over the bar of Commencement into the sea of life beyond, we know that We will al- ways have a feeling of unity derived from four fun and thrill-packed years at Bellevue. 25

GEPHAHY MQW AUF WIEDERSEHEN, DIETER The year's best privilege for Bellevue has been the presence of Dieter Darnbacher, exchange student from Germany. Although Dieter has no- ticed certain differences between German and American customs, he and we realize that his people and ours are fundamentally similar. Dieter's visit was sponsored by the American Field Service, but much of the expense was met by Bellevue students. We have learned a lot from Dieter, and here is how he himself feels: It is a great experience to study people in any new country, but here in Bellevue one is drawn into the life of the Wonderful people. I arn accepted in their lives, and nobody cares what nationality I arn. Here is one of my homes. I live 24 1 with a most kind family, have most sincere friends, and most understanding teachers. I never put so much pride in the pronoun 'our' as I do now when I say, 'Our school, our teaml' Bellevue students, I think of myself as studying with You, yelling at games with You, having fun with You-you wonderful friends who will never be replaced in my life. I learned here that we all are human, that there is absolutely no reason Why nations could not trust and respect each other. My love and gratitude will ever stay here, with people Who deserve God's blessings. GOD BLESS YOU, DIETER! We will miss you.
