Engine, Esquire, weary of chugging away through the Bellevue railroad yards. one morning jolted to a stop when he noticed far above the smoke of the other engines, a tall chim- ney with smoke much denser than any + he could make. Many more passengers SQ? seemed to be rushing toward it than had oys ever hurried to board him.

Through the eyes of Miss Gertrude Munn, friend and teacher, history became vivid and exciting to more than 3,000 students in her forty-seven years of teaching. And as principal of the junior High, she kept her school running smoothly, happily, and efficiently. Her picturesque country home is an appropriate home for one vitally interested in history, since it was a former stage-coach inn long before the days of railroads. As the last group of students to have been in- spired by Miss Munn as a teacher and principal, the class of 1948 is proud to dedicate this Comet to her. is aw- 'fis- X 2 T- 2,: ' Q 1i Q ,J Q A 4 V 'VV' T' A Er , v-, , , gw - L55 Qgrfrwofe Wann -M' gaigfoacfd Wcfe E eww Fifty-five engines and 3500 railroad cars pass through Bellevue daily, Freddy Freight boasted to Egbert. And about one-fourth of the fathers of our class members work for the Nickel Plate Railroad, added Tom Gruss. Well, eleven of us senior boys work for the railroad ourselves! Tony DeBlase spoke up. All agreed that while Bellevue has many thriving industries, the Nickel Plate Railroad is one of the most important. The offices of the general superintendent of the entire railroad recently moved here into the newly- erected office building. Yards, roundhouse, and shops are extensive, since two divisions of the road meet here. ln addition, through Bellevue also go branches of the New York Central, Pennsylvania, and Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroads. Egbert will feel at home during his visit in Bellevue! -dw- l. Two of Egbert's cousins line up for o spin on the turntoble and ci work out in the roundhouse 2, Thriving metropolis? Yes!

There was the Junior High's own Music Festival when a picked chorus of seventh and eighth-grade students sang in four-part harmony, and large class choruses presented folk songs of many na- tions, all under the direcfion of Arch B. Krumm. A group of instrumental soloists included Roxy Strazuiso, comet, Patsy Tay- lor, clarinet, Marilyn Heter, violin, Edward Monarchi, baritone horn, Marijane Warner, alto saxophone, and Jean Hall and Elinor Harper, piano. Then those white mice! They grew strong and vigorous or pale and wan as diets changed under the direction of Mr. Tetirick. Egbert was amazed at how that mice family increased. To finance the mice project, students in art classes made plaster busts of Lincoln which they sold in February. In fact as salesmen, those Junior High- 'ers are tops. Mrs. Glasgo's room won the first magazine sale campaign, and Miss Yingling's, the second. Egbert was pleased, too, to find fourteen of his Junior High friends in the high-school Symphonic Band, as well as several in the Orchestra.

Engine, as he admires the accomplishments of the Student Council. They supervised the election of class officers and cheerleaders, refereed the scholarship race, and sponsored the second annual Home- coming celebration. When time was set aside as Good Housekeeping Week, the council pub- licized it and awarded boxes of candy to the winning rooms, Miss Schachtele's freshmen and Miss ArnhoIt's sophomores. Members of the council served as a reception committee for home basketball games and sponsored three dances to raise funds for a proposed public address system.

Something newl Egbert Q. Engine, Esquire, travels the halls of B.H.S. This year's Comet Staff, with Carolyn Arn- holt as editor, out of a carload of ideas came up with the i948 Comet theme, Egbert sees all, hears all, tells all. The sales campaign started off with a big TEMOC hunt, climaxed by a surprise assem- bly in which TEMOC was revealed as the I948 Comet. In homerooms, sales charts were used with trains and cars representing payments. Knowing that students would like larger and more pictures, the staff cast aside tradition and voted to change the printing method and use the offset method, . . Y., f,- But now more money was needed. Where there's a crowd, there's got to be food, and forty boys and girls of the Senior Stand were on hand at the home football games to provide .the hungry spectators with all the hot dogs, potato chips, cokes, and ice cream bars they could eat. Candied apples, a new and perman- ent stand, and record sales all helped to make this year tops for the Comet Benefit Stand. Five student chairmen, Mary Krupp, Rose- mary Ruffing, Angeline Recupero, Marianne Meyers, and Edith Monarchi, helped Miss Arnholt manage the stand. The stand profits, along with the money secured from the TEMOC dance, and the senior play, helped to finance the Comet. I 5 z I I I L I . ff.: '- 1 5 s f' -'I .J Q i' ffl' Qgqi W, .

They got up plenty of steam for meetings ranging from a Hobo Party at President Sue Lepley's farm to a talk on social hygiene by Miss Anne Falther.

Reindeer made the Y-Teen Christmas formal a success. I was especially impressed by the Easter worship service the Y-Teens held at an assem- bly the last afternoon before spring vacation. In a setting of Easter lilies, palms, and candle light, the girls formed shadow pictures which told the Easter message while other Y-Teen members read Bible passages, or while the Prelude Choir sang anthems. The club also added to its traditional acti- vities an outing with the girls' fathers as well as a Mother-Daughter banquet and a slumber party for the senior girls. The Service Committee had plenty of en- thusiasm as they helped the l-li-Y boys collect bundles of clothes tor the needy European Children. The Y-Teen refreshment stand lsomething like a water tower for locomotivesl was really appreciated during thriller-diller basketball games. Profits from the sale ot pop and ice cream made possible the purchase of new mir- rors tor the girls' restrooms. The money earned will also make it possible for many more girls than ever before to go to summer Y-Teen camps. oFFlcERs1 v REHEARSING ,. 5, - A .M an 1 lil 3 COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN: Marion Smetzer and Barbara Gross ........,,,, Service Clarlce Hire ,,,,,..,,,,,, ,,v,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.......,,,,,,,Program Juanita Bodey ...,,,,.,.....,..s,.,s,.ss,.,.. .,.......,..

The l947-'48 program included discussions and talks by business men on the four planks of Hi-Y: clean speech, clean scholarship, clean athletics, and clean living. Dances after the football games, hayrides, a Christmas party, the annual Mother-Son Banquet, and the traditional outing at the Y Camp rounded out the social calendar. A special thrill came to the officers in or- ganizing a new chapter in Port Clinton. OFFICERS Senior Club Junior Club Pres. ...,,,...,,,..A.,,,......... DEAN TODD ...MELVIN KOCH Vice-P. .... ...,,.

What beautiful steam! whistled Egbert as he passed the foods laboratory where mem- bers of the Future Homemakers of America were preparing to serve a public Jitney supper. He followed the crowd in to the gymnasium, which had been converted into a dining room. There he listened to F.H.A. girls telling of their activities. One spoke of the night the club went Christmas caroling and of the eve- ning they enjoyed a chili supper and program of slides. Another mentioned their plans to buy a new sewing machine and to prepare a sewing basket for the use of anyone in the school. But alas for Egbert's ambitions to join the club! He found that only girls who were en- rolled in home economics classes could become members. OFFICERS President ..........,... ........ E DITH MONARCHI Vice-President ...... ..........

The purchase of maroon and white choir robes greatly en- hanced the year's achievement of two invita- tions to sing at out-of-town meetings. Two vocal concerts and an enlargement ot all the choruses helped to make important history for vocal music at B.H.S. The coveted invitation to furnish music at the Northwestern Ohio Teachers' Association meeting at Toledo brought another invitation to the now-famous PRELUDE CHOIR to sing at Heidelberg College.

Although the B.H.S. orchestra practices only once a week, it presented an excellent program for the annual Spring Festival in Bellevue and for the Northern Ohio League Orchestra Festival at Galion. Then too, the orchestra is at its best for the school plays, as well as for Baccalau- reate and Commencement when it helps give that certain air of superiority to the seniors.

Several of the Bellevue G.A.A. members also attended play days in Fremont and Sandusky and the annual Northwestern Sports day at Bowling Green University. The highest athletic honor a girl can re- ceive in B.H.S. is the girls' white B . Fourteen senior members of the G.A.A, have earned the necessary 250 points in girls' intramurals and can wear the coveted letter. D. SHELLEY, P. FOX, J. ZEHNER, F. KIESER, S. LEPLEY, C.

Since intramural season was not completed as the Comet went to press, the underclassmen who will earn B's are not included here. To be a member of the Girls Athletic Asso- ciation a girl must earn 80 points in athletic competition. Those who earned membership this year are seen in the picture above.

A dviser Egbert admitted that he was a bit puzzled by such names as Hoboes, Pointers, Wizard, Wildcats, Whizzies, until it was explained that those are the names of this year's soccer, volleyball, and basketball teams. SOCCER under student manager, Ethel Starr, surpassed last year's record of forty- three participants when over sixty girls re- ported at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays cluring September and October. Ot these Ocker's soccer team, the Pointers, were cham- pions: S. Ocker, captain, A. Young, R. Houck, B. Bauman, J. Siesel, N. Decker, M. Meyers, C. Lamb, B. MacManus. VOLLEYBALL reached an all-time high this year when one hundred and four girls parti- cipated in this sport. Agnes Phillips and Mary Ann Siesel were Student Managers.
