Hamilton, Athletic Director of Bell Township High School. I FMWWMW The theme of the Bee Tee Vie of 1951 is proverbs. Proverbs are short familiar sayings, expressing well known truths. There is a proverb for nearly everything that can be said. Proverbs are used much more than is ordinarily realized. For that reason we have chosen to carry throughout our book these wise sayings which are indicative of the various people and activities. We have given the favorite proverbs of the seniors and faculty. The variety of these indicates the wide spread usuage of proverbs. We feel they say much more in a few words than we could say in many.

The Bee Tie Vie is published annually to help preserve in your mem- ories those happy and important events in your high school career. This year the Seniors started raising money right from the start. Selling refreshments at the football games, hold- ing a Halloween Dance and selling Christmas Cards provided a good percentage of the money needed. We the staff realize we could never print a book without the help of many patrons and friends. We especially wish to thank Mr. Shaffer, our friendly photographer for his interest and 'patience with us. He has done much to make our book a success.

A very progressive group, the chorus took part in several programs. Of the two most important events the first was the Christmas pro- gram. Here they presented a candle light service of Christmas Carols. The highlight of their year was the Spring Concert where music from Rom- berg's operas was emphasized. The program included numbers by the entire group, the male voices only, solos, piano solos and other interesting numbers.

Lions Score Second Undefeated, Untied Season The Bell Township's powerful pigskin carriers, with its superb reserve, completed for the second time in Bell's his- tory an undefeated untied season. The chargers rolled over nine straight class B opponents and scored 380 points to their oppenents 39, which proved a great defensive and of- fensive team. With their T formation the Lions averaged 334 yards per game. Trimming Elders Ridge in the final game 19-0 gave the Lions a record of twenty two straight wins over a per- iod of three years. Under the guidance of Mr. George T. Hamil- ton and aided by Mr. Edward Meighan the Lions capped the Little Six Diadem' and were West- moreland County Champs. Eugene Shelkey and Lyle Shearer were co-captains while Neil Larimer called the plays.

Makes Many Points! GIRL BA KB'l'BALl. If at first you don't succeed, try, 'try again. With the help of coach Pauline Smith, the Girls Varsity Basketball team completed a fine season with a record of seven wins, three losses and one tie. The efficient scoring Lionette machine garnered 412 points to the opponents 1:93. The opening game of the season was with the Saltsburg Trojanettes. The Bell sextet broke loose and lead throughout the game by a ten point margin until the final quarter. The sudden scoring of the Trojanettes ended the game in an undecided victory of 32-32. The second game of the season found the sextet traveling to iixport's arena to receive their first bitter taste of defeat. The quick moving Pan- thers helped to chase the Lionettes back into their cage with a 2-I-31 defeat. The decisive manner in which they defeated the highly rated and undefeated Franklin sextet by a score of 30-23 was the highlight of the season. For the grimmest and toughest duel of the season, the Bell sextet traveled to the Trojanette floor. The Saltsburg soldiers lead throughout the game until the last quarter when the fighting of the Belles began to show. At the end of the game the Trojanettes edged the Lionettes by two points. The first half of the season ended with the Lionettes meeting Frank- lin Twp. on our own floor. Franklin won an extremely close contest in the last four minutes of play, when they bombarded the hoop with a field goal and free throw. Thus they edged out the Lionettes with a 22-25 de- feat. For the second time the Lionettes met the Export Panthers on the Bell floor ring. After the first quarter, the raging Belles broke loose leav- ing the Panthers behind in a daze. For the remainder of the season, the Bell sextet accomplished four relatively easy victories over the Freeport and Vandergrift G.A. A. girls.

Dottie was a very capable guard To defend her goal she worked quite hard. Though a Soph and very small This didn't stop Virginia from getting the ball. Aggie our co-captain will be missed next year For our boys she also did cheer. Margie is very light in her feet As a guard she was hard to beat. Marge can't lift her fleet far off the floor But when under the basket makes points galore. Susie always tried hard to win the game Next year she'll help bring us fame.
