Ed., is a graduate of Otterbein College and Pennsylvania State College. He came to Bell Township in 1942 from Hempfield Township where he taught in Harold Junior High School and was principal at New Stanton Junior High School. He is also co-author of Junior Guidance and a member of the legislative committee of the Westmoreland County Teachers. Mr: Kintigh gave up his duties as supervising principal on January twenty-first to become supervising principal of Penn Township Schools. Mr. Kintigh served us faithfully for four and a half years and we regretted to see him leave. On May twenty-ninth, dressed in the traditional cap and gown of graduation night, you will be seated on the stage of the Bell Township High School. The person addressing you will probably speak of your commencementn as the beginning of Life for you, admonish you as to its pitfalls, encourage you to enter greater fields of endeavor, and congratulate you as now being prepared to take your place in life. What is Life? Life is a composite result of one's attitudes. When you were very young, your reaction to particular persons and things was determined by your likes and dislikes. You dis- carded your baby bootie because you didn't like the taste of it. You liked Mary's ball because it was red. When you grew a little older, you coveted it and tried to take it from her. Soon a new attitude was being developed. You either learned or did not learn fairness in play depending upon the results of your first and successive attempts to appropriate Mary,s red ball. There came the day you took your ball and went home because the gang wanted Johnny to pitch instead of you. If you couldn't pitch, you wouldn't play. Soon you learned that you were mis- erable because you had no one with whom to play. Although the others played a different game because they had no ball, they weren't happy either. Slowly you painfully learned to consider others, an attitude which must be a part of you throughout Life if you are to be successful in business either as an employer or an employee. Finally one evening you were introduced to another attitude-respect for property. Your ball went through Mr. Smith's living-room window. You mowed grass for one week in order to pay for the broken pane. You were getting older now. Mother and Dad were giving you responsibilities. You cut the wood, brought in coal, washed the dishes. When mother was ill you heroically fried an egg for father's supper. Responsibility was a new attitude which you accepted cheerfully. Maturity brought a sense of charity, an understanding of human emotions and morals, a re- gard for public welfare, and an appreciation of money. Some of you developed these attitudes more fully than your fellow students did. The world measures Success in terms of the degree to which you have developed these attitudes. Your attitudes are You. What You are determines the life you live, for You are Life BOARD OF EDUCATION sax SS? O . It iOO ii - f 'U W. W.

After serving a year with the 71st and 1st divisions in Germany he returned home to be discharged from Fort Dix, N. on November 8, 1946. Charles returned to Bell in November in order to complete his Senior year. 11 -'X '17 his Pfc. John Pishko entered the Army September 28, 1945. He took basic training at Keesler Field, Mississippi and was later transferred to Scott Field, Illinois where he attended radio school for thirteen weeks He was assigned for overseas duty from Langley Field, Virginia and flown to Tokyo, Japan from Fairfield, California. After six months service in Japan he returned to the United States and was discharged January Z4 1947. He returned to complete his Senior year, February 4. WHS S. C. 3fc Steve Rodnicki received his boot training at Baimbridge, Mary- land being then transferred to Newport, Rhode Island and Newport News, Virginia. From there he boarded the U.S.S. Randolph CV-15. He served in the Pacihc Area until his discharge on August 16, 1946 after completing 26 months and 20 days of service. Steve left for the service at the end of his Junior year and returned at semester this year in order to obtain credits for graduation. Seaman Ifc Raeburn Muffley entered the service June 7, 1944 and received his boot training at Baimbridge, Maryland. He was then transferred to the Navy Air Corps at Miami Naval Air Station where he was located until his discharge on July 3, 1946.

July 6, 1967 Dear Beverly: I have just returned from Salina and our class reunion at good old Bell. I'm certainly sorry you were unable to attend although I realize how busy making pictures must keep you. Alfred Steele must be quite busy too, serving as your publicity man. Seeing all the Class of 47 after twenty years was certainly an event. I scarcely know where to begin! Salina has grown to an enterprising city since the Eckenrode Atomic Bomb Plant was built in Tin-Town. As for the school itself, my dear, you would never rec- ognize it! Can you imagine a new auditorium with a seating capacity of l,000!! Doubtless, you are just dying to know about the careers of that old gang of mine. so I'll do my best to tell you all about them. Quite a few have married and are reliving the activities of Bell in their children. I had to laugh when Joan Rughls little boy quit after they struck him out in the baseball game. Youngsters of Alice Wiehe, Mary Forsha, Louise Jones and Richard O'Braclovich were playing too. Believe me, they are just as good sports as their parents are. Nancy Carnahan, who is now president at Vassar, and I had quite a chat and loads of fun reminiscing. She told me how well Ray Detman was progressing since his being elected governor of Pennsylvania. You, no doubt, saw in the paper that he appointed Raymond Beatty, Secretary of Agriculture. He is quite pleased with Geraldine McDivitt's work as his personal secretary also. Nancy, herself, has utilized quite a bit of the talent of the Class of ,47. She has appointed several to the Vassar faculty. Ruth Markuzic serves as physical education instructor, Mary Moglia heads the Home Economics Department and Janice Stauffer teaches English. Many of our group has remained loyal to Salina and are now well established there. Pete Deforno owns an immense Super Market and right across the street from it is the Ger- heim-Keller Beauty Shop. Mary Lou Shoupe seems to be doing quite well with her chain of restaurants with Joan Fallone serving as head dietician. Margaret Toth and Betty Steele have established an exclusive dress shop. They couldn't help but do well when lovely Evelyn Burtyk and petite Elizabeth Ednie model their creations. PROPHECY IHB Sports competition between the local high schools is keener than ever since Paul Ukish started coaching at Bell, and John Kempa and Don Townsend took over the new schools in Slickville and Edmon, respectively. We received quite a discourse on who was going to beat who this coming season and Frank Kirinic was really in the middle of the argument for he now heads the organization of the W. P. I. A. L. They had quite a bit ofvfun teasing Donna Lee Muffley about showing prejudice when she wrote up the sports events for the local newspaper. I was certainly glad that you sent me all the news you did for I too was able to offer information of absentees at the reunion. I canit imagine Julia Papp a Lt. in the Nurse Corps serving under General Petrune, who heads Deshon now! Army life seems to be in John Pishko's blood too. It must be pleasant for you to have Catherine Kravetsky, Keith Carnahan, and Steve Chuma there in Hollywood with you. I saw the Ice Capades of 1967 last week and Cath- erine certainly performed some marvelous feats on those skates. I'm ever so anxious to see Keith's portrayal of Andy I-lardyis father. Past experience points to his success. Steve should give the famous Van Sinatra plenty of competition. Betty Sheasley and Ruth Harkleroad are seen together as much as ever for they are now engrossed in the progress of the Childen who attend their day nursery. Christy Valore and Ralph I-larr haven't changed a bit. They are mischievous as ever and had us all laugh ing as they told us about the experiences of their trip to England in a row boat. Minnie Valore still goes her ,quiet way and is quite happy serving as a demonstrator for the West Penn Power Co. You should have seen how handsome Steve Rodnicki looked in his State Patrol Uniform. John Paunovich was so late in arriving at the reunion that we almost dicln't find out that he is now head custodian of Bell Township. Well, my dear, I think I have checked in everyone. Me? Yes, I'm still working at the Atomic Plant and loving every minute of it! I must close now and I sincerely hope you will be able to attend the reunion we have planned for 1977.

Jack 5 x i ff The ultimate aim of the senior class was the publication of the Bee Tee Vie. The first step was raising neces- sary funds to back the project. Profits from the magazine campaign started the fund off with a bang! To add to this, members of the class sold ribbons of the school colors at games as well as Christmas cards, and provided for the underclassmen to have pictures taken. In December, the selling of advertisements for the yearbook added greatly to this fund. Soon thereafter, subscriptions for the book were bought enthusiastically by all the students. In the month of January the actual work toward publication began. The staff worked industriously in order to complete the ideas for their yearbook with the theme and color schemes of Life.,' The padded leather cover is of navy blue and gold. The staff wishes to thank the faculty for their interest and cooperationg the student body and advertisers for their financial assistanceg Shaffer's Studio and Mr. Prusack for the picturesg Miss Bierer for her direction of the typingg and Mr. Owen Helfferich and the Craftsmen Printing Co. for the printing of the book.

The 1946-1947 Staff has carried on the tradition of the past thirteen years. The Bell Echo is now a four page lspecial issues contain sixi printed pages and is published six times a year. Mrs. Mary H. Bortz, who began her task as advisor in 1936, is to be commended for her work. Worthy of note also is the work of the Commercial Seniors and their instructor who very competently type copy for each issue. Anna Kravetsky, our present editor will make 'Bell Echo History because she is the first student to begin Bell Echo work as a seventh grader and attain the position of Editor in her Junior year. Besides the work of publishing the school paper the organization has its social life. On the second of No- vember a farewell party for Miss Snively was held. During the Christmas holidays the staff had another eve- ning of fun at the home of Mrs. Bortz. Each spring letters are presented to the Seniors who have met the necessary qqualifications.

MIXED CHORUS The mixed choral group under the direction of Miss Edsall is composed of fifty-five singers from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. From this group Janet Haney, Louise Carnahan, Charles Stauffer, Thomas Miller, Nancy Carnahan, and Richard Guido were chosen to participate in All-County Chorus presented in Latrobe, January 31. The chorus was directed by Professor Morton Luvaas of Allegheny College. janet Haney, Nancy Carnahan and Sally Muffley were selected to sing in the Western District Chorus at Clairton, December 5, 6, 7. The chorus was composed of 32? students from Western Pennsylvania school chorus'. A concert climaxed three eventful days at Clarion. Among other interesting events was a radio broadcast made by the chorus and recordings of outstanding songs. The chorus was under the direction of Harry Robert Wilson, director of music of Colum bia University. The chorus spent many hours rehearsing for the spring concert which included songs by the mixed chorus, boys' chorus, and girls' chorus. Solos were included as well as numbers by the sex tette and quartet. BAND Although the band made few appearances, it had many practices which greatly aided those new members who were learning to play horns. Charles Stauffer, Janice Stauffer, Jose- phine Runco, Nancy Carnahan, John Karaffa, Bob Shoupe and Leland Hill, members of the bands of past years aided the new musicians in their struggles to learn band music. The band's first appearance was at the Avonmore-Bell Township basketball game. This appearance created much in- terest in the organization. Improving as the year progressed the band played at the Penn Township game and at the Spring Concert. 7 DUMESTIE ARTS First Row: Valore, Yazach, Gross, Abate, Toth, Keller, Forsha, Fallone, Moglia, jones.

As an integral part of the program of home economics in the school, it offers the opportunity for the further development of pupil initiative in planning and carrying out activities related to homemaking. The colors of the organization are red and white which are symbolic of youth-youth which has courage and an unwavering determination to succeed, yet has innocence and purity and holds integrity as its highest virtue. The emblem is octagonal in shape and bears the name of the organ ization at the top of the plane while at the bottom is the motto. In the center there is a house supported by two hands which symbolizes that the future homes of America are in the hands of its youth. Their motto, Toward New Horizons, expresses the purpose of the organization- learning to live better today in order that our livcs and those of our families may be better to- morrow. Among the activities of the club are monthly social club meetings as well as monthly business meetings. Many members attended the State Farm Show at Harrisburg on January 13. F. F. A.

Among the activities of the organization are included building and repairing farm imple- ments, attendance at the State Farm Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, purchase of a new tractor with the hope of getting all the attachments sometime in the future, and the annual fair held in September.

This organization, composed of a representative from each home room, is presided over by Paul Ulcish at the semi-monthly meeting. The Point System of Awards has been a new addition this past year. To secure a medal each member must earn thirty points by performing his duties. This year their objective has been to buy blue velour curtains for the auditorium windows. In order to do this they have sold ice cream, candy, and sponsored dances and movies. The Student Council paid for a magician whose acts were shown free to all classes in the grade and high school. Earlier in the school year this governing body, with the students' consent, pur- chased a Victor Amplifier which improved considerably the sound effect of movies in the audi- torium. Myrna Gerheim and Robert Shoupe, the secretary and treasurer of the Council, were elected to attend the convention at Hershey, Pa. held October twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth. The theme of this convention was 'Democracy in Schools Today Strengthens Freedom Tomorrow. Next yearis convention will be held at Bradford, Pa. Many council members hope to be the lucl-cy two to be chosen to attend. The medals presented at Commencement to the seniors in outstanding fields, were purchased by the Student Council. These awards include: Activity and Citizenship, Dramatics, Music, Agri- culture, Science, Commercial, Mathematics, Librarian, Home Economics, Valedictorian, Salutator- ian, and two athletic awards iboy and girlj. To obtain one of these awards, the student must be outstanding in that particular field. When Mr. Kintigh left Bell Township for his new position at Penn Township the Student Council presented him with a maroon buxom wallet. VARSITY CLUB , , ...W .....,'i1 i-.M sw. K N s .

Each year the club buys sweaters for the graduating seniors who have earned a letter in any major sport. The sweaters are red with a letter bearing an emblem signifying the sport in which the individual has participated. Along with the sweaters, letters are awarded to those who have earned them. Also, the boys who play on the junior varsity receive emblems in the form of basket- balls. j In order to present the sweaters the organization had to raise sufficient funds. They did this in a turkey raffle and by sponsoring a St. Patrickis Day Dance, a lecture and movie on Pennsylva- nia's wild life and receiving club dues of twenty-five cents a month. The Varsity Club spent a total of three hundred-eleven dollars and twenty cents for sweaters and Junior Varsity emblems. This figures does not include this year. ' The club also sponsors activities besides participatin in the s ort it lf. Th h g p se ey ave gone to the basketball clinic and to a major league baseball game. Of these trips the expenses were paid by the Varsity Club.
