To Mrs. Nina Horn, we, the Class of 1947, dedicate this book in deep appreciation for her de- voted service to the students of Belleville High School during the many years in which she has taught here. We wish to thank her espec- ially, for the last few years in which we personally have been associated with her in classroom and extracurricular activities.

Across the hall we can hear Miss Kilpatrick giv- ing a lecture on which is more intelligent: the gum-chewing girl or the cud-chewing cow. Neither, she thinks, chews mathematically. As we approach Mrs. Roe's door we see the sign. 'All agents, office salesman, and supervisors Keep out. The door, of course is locked. As we hurry past Mr. Gregory's room we can see him tinkering with his favorite pet, photo- graphy. What's this? Why, Mr. Tower is flying paper airplaines! Erwin M.

Duffey, B.A. Michigan State Normal University of Toledo University of Wisconsin Ohio State University Northwestern Univer sity We flatten our noses against Mr. Horn's door and we see kids taking their algebra page by page flavored with salt out of their ink wells. We continue our journey and we hear a strange click-clacking noise. It's Miss Smith's hard working typing class. We also see Miss Victtoryn giving her favorite spelling assignment unior Business. My goodness! what was that terrific explo- sion? just as we thought, it's Mr. Dygert's chem- istry classl Mr. Dygert fits his part in teaching chemistry, he too blows up once in a while After that terrific explosion we are pleased to see quiet little English rooms with busy stud- ents, taught by Mrs. Wilden and Mrs. johnson.

Michigan State Normal As we pass the junior High Office we must re- member our, Angel of the Lost and Found, Mr. john- son. Walking past Mrs. Bu- bert's room we see busy little class mates studying ancient times. Salve! This means we are passing the Latin Room. We must mention that it is taught by Mrs. Butler. If we forgot her, some Senior boys might not like it. Ah, what's this? Why, it's Mrs. Walters with her usual handfull of seventh- grade boys, who of course, were running down the stairs. Avalyn johnson, B.S. University of Michigan We pound up another flight of stairs and we smell the aroma of food. As we enter the door we see Mrs. Seavitt busy with her recipe book. We con- tinue on into a little fit- ting room. Here we see many busy little fingers sewing those pretty little dresses, skirts, and blouses. This can only be done with perfection when taught by Mrs. Campbell. What's this we hear now? Why it's our little song-bird Miss Duffey. We'll always remember her by her singing 'Watch me, please.

Of course it could be none other than Mr. Slaubough playing wonderful music on his violin. Socko! There goes the mighty baseball across the field. You ask who's coaching these mighty baseball players? Mr. Kozmaofcourse. It's sur- prising to us he doesn't get it mixed up with his diffi- cult math. As we stroll through the gym we see our noon-- activities directors in con- versation. Everyone should know who we mean. Who always says, 'Keep off the gym floor!? Of course, our sports--woman, Mrs. Herlihy. The other, our beloved Coach Simmons, the teacher who worries. Esther I. Smith, B.A. Michigan State Normal Cleary Business College Wayne University As we near the south end of the gym we hear sawing, pounding and sand- ing. This noisy but busy class is shop, taught by Mr. Hollar, who is also our transportation mana- ger. So---he's the one who sends the buses out, eh? Our last stop is the art room. It seems every- where we turn we see pic- tures, pictures, and more pictures. They are very good, of course, after all see who teaches the class. You guessed it, our own cute, little Miss Ignatowski. in behalf of the student body, we of the yearbook staff wish to express our sincere and loyal thanks to the faculty for their guidance and splendid work in past years and in years to come.

That initiation was quite an affair, and was, of course, a great thrill to all of us who were about to enter an entirely different type of life. After we got into the swing of things, time slipped quickly by and the end of the school year was upon us.

This was a task in which we took great pleasure. However,there were no casualties reported, which indicates that we were very just and lenient judges of the qualities of the class of '48. During that year studies became more difficult, and as we waded up to our necks in Latin and Geometry, we found that this business of getting an education was a serious one. As things got harder, several of the members of the class dropped out, but those of us who stayed on were drawn closer together by the res- ponsibilities which were placed upon us. We sponsored our first dance durirg that year, and the funds in our treasury began to grow. By the end of the year we had our new class rings, and were feeling quite well about life in general. After all, high school was half over. 51300011 1 journalism 4 Carolyn Bird Romona Bond Clare Bradley Anne Bradshaw 'Birdie' ..Monie..

Some of the boys played on the varsity squads in the 'various sportsg casts were chosen, drilled, rehearsed, and beaten into shape for the junior Playg and along with several other dances came the traditional J-Hop, with it's formal gowns and polished manners. We found that these activities required a lot of time and hard work but lacking nothing in ambition and talent, the class made a success of every endeavor.

Here was Utopia, the prom- ised land of snap courses, lots of class meetings, few classes, and more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Again came the sad but true revelation that these were just a few more idle rumors, that the subjects were just as hard as before, and that the extra acti- vities just left less time in which to do the book work. It was all a lot of fun though, the Senior Play, the Prom, the trip to Chicago in the Spring, and all of the other things which, together, made it the greatest year we spent in school, and a very happy conclusion of our high school education.

But the time passed quickly as it does when one is kept busy, and, be- fore we know it, we had been initiated by the class of '47, and were well started on our high school career. Things happened rapidly and gloriously for a while as we enjoyed the feeling of being a part of the high school, and in a short time we were nearing the end of the year. The following year brought still more fun, but also a good share of hard work. Among our first projects was the Freshman initiation, and, a little later on, a dance called 'The Tulip 'I'rample , Following this came the wonderful time when we were presented with our long-awaited class rings: it was a happy moment when we proudly displayed them to our friends. The year drew to a close with a glorious trip to jefferson Beach, where we all had a good time and many happy memories were made. Barrett, C. Budrich, R. Christ, C. Baurn, J, Bennett, Bo Cannis, D.

At last we felt we were nearing our goal. The year was comprised of many activities, dances, banquet, junior Play, everything that makes 'the junior year amemorable one. The 'QI-Hop , Uungle Hopj, with scenery representing an Africanjungle scene, was a great social success, the junior sweaters arriv- ed with their fitting emblems and the junior Play 'Lunatics At Large , after a good deal of hard work, effort, and rehearsal, was finally proclaim- ed a good performance. Several important class meetings were called for the purpose of discuss- --w-.-N-,v---T-vw vvv... ing necessai-y'business transactions as the respon- sibilities and activities of the class grew larger in number. A reliable company was selected to take the graduation pictures of the class during their senior year, and, among other activities of the year, the class went to the Olympia Stadium in Detroit and saw the 1947 Roller Skating Follies. The year closed with the traditional junior-Senior Banquet. And now, upon looking back at the last three years of school, we are able to say with sincerity that they have been happy and eventful years, and that in years to come they will be happy memories to recall.

THE 1947 TIGERS Football had a lean season at Belleville last Fall. Although this is the first year, since 1934, that the Tigers have suffered a com- pletely defeated season under Coach Simmons. The season opened with Coach Bernard as- sisting with the line work and Coach Kozma working with the reserves. Only 52 boys reported for practice from which to mold the varsity and reserve. The T formation which has been used successfully for the past three years was thrown out and the short punt was used.

Qwheth- er or not this initial glory made the squad over- confident we shall never know,j but as soon as the team got into league competition dame for- tune fled. Their opening league game with Trenton was a heartbreaking one point loss. The team rebounded to whip Flat Rock in a non-league tilt and then fell to their next three league opponents in garnes which weer not de- cided until the last few minutes. Twice, Ypsi- lanti Central stole tear jerking victories from the Tiger cagers by one point. Tournament time found the Tigers convinced there was no justice. Spurred by a final determination they eliminated Wayne from the District Tournament and lost to a strong Melvindale team in the finals. CE!

Much unknown talent was discovered for the various runs. ..,.a..f.-................ , av . xv ' TRACK SCHEDULE -,Icp Q Q u if X.. April 19 I April ZZ Wayne April Z5 Trenton 6 5 April Z9 Ypsi May 2.

The size has been increased and a great deal of photographic work has been added, which adds greatly to the value of the papers as keepsakes. The journalism Class, under the direction of Mr. William Simmons, has been trying to publish the type of paper that the students want, and it seems to have succeeded in doing so. .IIIUII ALI M 'PAFF ff, ff!

Lokuta If you saw seniors running around last December with their arms in splints and slings, blackened eyes, and southern accents, you were pro- bably wondering whether this school was an academic institution or a branch office of Sti11man's Gym. Th- truth of the matter is that those bat tered persons were the characters in the Senior Play, 'The Fighting Lit- t1es . It was the story of an irate father, who was plagued with the ro- mances of his offspring. Everything turned out for the best, however, and the show provided plenty of laughs for the large crowds that attended the two main performances. JU NIR CLASS PLAY ...,.,,..--..... ., .
