For tonight is graduation When we'll pass beyond the door, To be separated from this life Of school days . , . evermore: And our very hearts are racing In excitement we behold A future bright and shining ' Full of happiness untold! I But we'll pause here on the threshold And collect sweet memories, That to these pleasant years just past Are now our only keys. And lovingly we see each friend, Our helpmates these years through, With whom we shared much love and joy, And all assignments, too. And teachers, though they 'made us work, Will be missed when we go, That there's always one to help us Was a feeling grand to know. And sports so -dear to all our hearts, As were the boys that played, Help make it oh! so hard to leave Now that our goal is made. Clubs and all activities, 2 Classes that slowly passed, Dances, programs, all class plays, They're suddenly through at last, Yes. funny little incidents That brightened each sweet day, As did some bits of sorrow That just chanced to pass our way. ' So we gathered memories for you That into our school days you 'may look We pressed some on each shining page And locked them in our yearbook. With care and love we placed them there, And offer you the key- So that together we may share A garden filled with me'mories'.

A BOOK OF MEMORIES Someday, while glancing through y0ur souvenirs you will come upon the 1950 Bee Tee Vie. On its pages you will find many pictures and compositions which will remind you of your high school days. Our greatest worry was finan-:ing our annual, Proceeds from the Bee Tee Vie Dance Senior Class Play, Bake Sale, and the sale of candy, books, Christmas cards, and wrapping paper soon solved our prob- lem. The subscription and advertising cam- paign were a tremendous success and aided us in financing our Bee Tee Vee. Much time, effort, and fun have entered into this book which you will pack among your souvenirs. We, the Staff, are proud of our product and sincerely hope that now and in future years you will enjoy and keep it so you may reminisce and chuckle over the 1950 Bee Tee Vie. The staff wishes to thank Mrs, Biehl for helping us earn lmoney, Mr. Shaffer for taking pictures and Mr. Bandy for printing our annual. - THE BELL ECHO The Bell Echo, with its very capable ad- visor, Mrs. Mary H, Bortz, has succeeded in the past three years in issuing a printed paper despite the fact that the cost of such is much higher than of the mimeographed type. The money for the pap-er, which is self supporting, is earned in many ways. Sub- scriptions are the main source of revenue. The average number of subscriptions is more than one half the high school enrol- lment, This year the staff held a Home Talent Show, a Bake Sale, a Square Dance, and sold refreshments at the Donkey Base- ball game. Aside from financing the monthly paper, the money is spent in other ways. Each year Bell Echo letters are issued to Seniors who have earned them by meeting all the requirements. These include at least three years on the staff, two of which must be the junior and senior. Also, at graduation, a medal is awarded to the senior who is outstanding in the field of Journalism, With one of the largest and most indust- rious stafls in many years the Bell Echg is happy t0 report a most successful year.

Meetings are held at lunch time with one special meeting a month. Some of these meetings include a Valentine Day party and a weiner roast. This vear the outstanding project of the Tri-Hi-Y was teaching stud-ents to dance. Every member of the Tri-Hi-Y put forth tremendous efforts to make the projects a success. As a clilmax they held an orchestra dance, Santa's Winter Wonderland to which all dancing students were given free tickets. Members pur-chased Tri-Hi-Y pins and emblems.

B.T.H.S. On The Loose Get In There And Fight QUR BOYS - THE BEST THEIQE Ami The 1949 Bell Township Lions completed the first perfect season in the history of the school. Only the hard work and leadership of our coach Mr. Ceorge T. Hamilton, who emphasizes teafm work, hard clean football and the great offense which he has built up, made it possible for the Lions to go undefeated. The season opener found the Lions coming out on top in a verv hard fought game with the Ligonier eleven by a 13-7 margin. Number two was a 12 - 0 win over a scrappy Derry Boro eleven on the latter's field In the first night gavme of the season our gridders met a confident Apollo team and swamped them for their third victory. The Lions continued to roar to the tune of 53 - 0 over the Crimson and White of Washington Township for their fourth straight win. This was the easiest game of the season with our varsity playing less than a quarter of the time. ITUUTH EAIQLIED MEN The very confident Saltsburg Trojans suffered their first defeat when the Bellgridders outclassed them by a 37-7 margin before the lar' crowd on the Saltsburg field. The Lions won number six from a stubborn 'i o1mgwood team 27 - 6. The Bell boys clinched The Little ,SiX ' title by walloping the Avonmore Indians by a 40 - 6 score. In the final game of the season the Lions tangled with Elders Ridge coming out on top with a hard fought 18 - 0 victory. Led by Captain Bob Dellafiora the Bell eleven completed their first undefeated untied season in the history of Bell Township High School. The Lions receivd three trophies for their fine season which are: -A plaque from the W.P.I.A.L for being undefeated and untied, a trophv for being Westmoreland County Co-Champs, and the third trophy for The Little Six Championship.
