Mrs. Bessie Watson-Secretary 06145 ' Tlllmnllymims lYSlllermrpm,,, We, as a Christian nation, as believers in Christ's teach- ings, should find a way to make some substantial contribu- tion toward establishing and stabilizing and maintaining world peace. Wars do not create peace. Trade agreements have failed to give us peace. International conferences have failed. Noth- ing of great worth, spiritual or material, can be brought about by the above attempts. Why not try the Golden Rule? Why not Love thy neigh- bor as thyself? Why not work for United Nations in order that United Nations will follow? lt is my sincere wish that we, in the Belleville Schools, may contribute our harmonious thoughts and deeds to this great end.

A distinguished class found capable leadership in the following officers: Charles Henson, treasurer: Maurice Mitchell, vice-president: Phyllis Donaldson, president: Eleanor Lund, secretary. The able juniors of '47 became the full-fledged seniors of '48, This mighty class was made up of scholars, musicians, and athletes who proved their worth in the events held throughout the year. Sadie Hawkin's Day was celebrated in traditional dog-patch style at a dance at the Legion Hall, sponsored by this alert and lively class, Maurice Mitchell was named Little Abner, a typical representative of the other forty- six seniors. From their ranks came the lovely Football Queen, Luella Johnson, and the first Basketball Queen, Mary Lou Rightmeier. ln the sports field, Maurice Mitchell and Dale Kirk were chosen co-captains of the football squad. Dale was again named honorary basketball captain of the '47-'48 B. B. Season. Two seniors, Eleanor Lund and lvol Gant, were crowned St. Pat and St. Patricia at the annual St. Pat's Prom. Numerous seniors took part in the music broadcast from KSAC, in the musical, Make Ours Music , and in the annual band concert. The second semester found the seniors working together to present a riotous comedy entitled Love ls Too Much Trouble. Under the direction of Mrs. Houdek, the cast gave a performance, hard to surpass. Working hard to meet the financial goal for the sneak, the seniors engaged in a successful food-sale, and sold at numerous basketball games, To climax the year, the class left the unsuspecting under-classmen for a day to explore the metropolis of Kansas City. Mr. Hodges and Mrs. Houdek, the sponsors, proved their ability to keep pace with this adventurous class. That day will be long remembered. The usual whirl of banquets, initiations, teas, and rehearsals was all-absorbing, climaxed by the Jr.-Sr. Prom which everyone enjoyed immensely. In the words of a senior: The assembly when we gave our class yell for the last time, the Jr.-Sr. Prom, the musicals, classes, plays, clubs, games, and all the other activities which one associates with high school life, will always follow us and remain the highlights of our days at B.H.S. 2.-925 1552 ,J f- .

I slit 1 W l Y Richard Scott Margaret Seballoz Huetta Spafford Gale Wade Donald Wilbur Betty Wood The graduating class of l95O sprang into action this year on the very first day of school with the loudest sophomore yell in the history of Belleville High. With the help of our sponsors Miss Price, Mrs. Carr, and Mr. Sturdy we elected our class officers with Harold Henson as presidenty Kent Sanborn, vice-president: Ruth Morehead, secretaryg and Donna Childs, treasurer. During the two years we have been in high school our records have no doubt shown the true worth of our class. We have striven to be a successful class and our work has not been in vain. lt was a marked class from the first, every step was our best. We are successful in attempting to do things in al- most any line. When it comes to sports our boys are right there to help the teams. When it comes to smiles and enthusiasm, we have the largest stock of any class in school. With all these we are bound to succeed.

The year i947-48 saw an average year for football in B. H. S. The foot- ball team captured fifth place in the N. C. K. L., winning 2 and losing 4. The football season opened with a 6-O upset loss to Clyde on the home field. The Buffs registered a win over Smith Center in their next game, but went on to lose four straight games to Beloit, Marysville, Minneapolis, and Lincoln. The team, under Coach Sturdy, reached the form they were capable of in the last three games, downing Mankato to escape the league cellar, Washington, and ending the season with a crushing 27-O win over Concordia. This gave the B. H. S. team a 4 won, 5 lost seasons' record.

The Buffs won over Lincoln, Minneapolis, Mankato, Hebron, and Concordia before dropping their second game to Beloit. The season ended with a victory over Smith Center to bring the seasons' record to lO wins against 7 losses and third place in the N. C. K. L.
