Our history begins in the seventh and eighth grades, during which trying period we were led by Presidents Terry Byrnes and Made- lyn Cullin. In our freshman year President Pat Porzondek, a veritable Rock of Gibraltar, guided us in our greatest hour of need - the Fresh- man Initiation. It must be admitted that we had a difficult time in our Day of Judgment. Happily for our egoes no pictures of the oc- casion seem to exist. Another year rolled around and the time of retribution for those indignities was at hand. True, we were unable to vent our wrath on those who had persecuted us, but backed by our leading inquisitor, Ray Suliman, class president, we chose the next best thing - the hapless class of '50, Now that we had attained real high school stature, we were allowed to present the first of many successful dances. Finally came the greatest event of all - the arrival of our beautiful class rings. We marched confidently into our junior year. Albert Kaljee was selected to lead our steadily progressing class through the uncertainties which beset us on our path to success. The Arabian atmosphere of our J -Hop made it an event to be long remembered in our book of pleasant memories. The usual pre-performance stage fright disappeared with the successful performance of the Junior Play, Inner Willy . An important event of early spring was the arrival of our royal blue and white class sweaters. The climax of this year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. George Ostrowski was selected to lead our class through the exciting events of our final year. First event was the taking of those all-important portraits known as the senior pictures. This was followed by the presentation of the class play, the mystery-comedy, R,amshackle Inn , which proved to be, under the direction of Mrs. Doris Roe, a spectacular success. In the future lay that privilege of two vacation days reserved for seniors only, a skip day and the annual trip to Lansing. Finally there were the late spring events, the excursion to Niagara Falls and Toronto, and the dance of all dances, the Senior Prom. The events of commencement week added the final touches to our school career. As we leave school, each to go his separate way on the road of life, we do so with the assurance that our steps will be more firm because of the knowledge we have gained, and our lives will be made brighter by the friends we have known. my-r-T1-rr-I , , , 1 ..,.,,,.--an Ver, ,,,,.Q.?,:,.,... ...,.,...w.. .,....,....

During these years Presidents Ed Hollar and Ned I Hovater provided the spark for the numerous class activities. As freshmen, f having suffered the pangs of initiation inflicted by the haughty sophomores, gi we felt that at last we had a right to an important voice in school affairs. it Several class activities including a hayride, a dance, and two skating parties were engineered under the capable direction of Ned Hovater, who had been re-elected president. The following year, having exchanged our name of freshmen I for that of sophomore , we gave our first dance, Spring Swing . 2 Dale MacDonald presided over our class ln this period with great tact ' and leadership. The arrival of our long awaited class rings brought the year to a happy end. To help us ineet the greater responsibilities which we faced in our Junior year we elected Dale Davis president. Cardinal and white, our colors, ,, were used in our class sweaters. The spring semester showed the growing 3 caliber of our class as we presented the .T-Hop in April and the highly successful play in May. Standing now on the threshold of our most important year and backed 3 up by our motto, When we rest, we rust , we are confidently awaiting the privileges and responsibilities which only the senior year can bring. 5 L 3 .' 2? 55 'E Dale Davis. . . . . . . .President ,Q Bill Warncke. . . .

However the steps by which we have progressed must not be forgotten since they are the base on which our future will be built. We chose Richard Wadell and James Morris as our presidents in the sev enth and eighth grades. The social events of this period. were a skating party, a picnic at Rouge Park, and a trip to Belle Isle. Our initiation as freshmen came the next year but with President Robert McQuaid showing the way we came through with flying colors. The activities were ended for the year by a trip to the Detroit Zoo. This year we have proven that we can assume the greater responsibilities demanded of sophomores. The initiation given by us to the new freshman class was ac- complished with dispatch and was followed shortly with our successful Hunters' Ball . We were proud to show everyone our beautiful class rings that came in December Under the excellent leadership provided by this year's officers our class has developed spirit which should stand us in good stead through the remainder of our high school program. ..-we C Q x fi -e X Q 'MVESKXWVEXKAA WFS nliwh ,..tl...t....4.a,.a...-. t.......4........,.,.l-..4..t..r...,,...,.a...,... ,.,. .. ,.., .. 44... .,,, .-., 4... ...ffm-..,., -.,, Y.- . .

In the seventh grade our first activity as junior high students took place, a roller skating party. Donald Polla- kowski got us off to a good start by serving as our president. A roller skating party, a picnic at Belle Isle, and a Valentine Dance were among the activities which our class enjoyed ln the eighth grade. The Valentine Dance was om' first real social affair and was a big success. Homer Zannis was a very active presi- dent for that year and served us well. Although adverse weather forced us to cancel the hayride which was planned in the fall of our freshman year, our spirits were undampened and we substituted a highly successful dance in the school gym. Football took the headlines as our class team defeated Monroe under the lights of the new field. Under the gui- dance of President Virgil Kovachich, the frosh have planned a dance and a picnic for the spring schedule. We are proud of our record but we do not plan to rest on our laurels. We have great hopes for the next three years and shall aim at establishing a record in which both our class and our school may take pride. is tt igfxeir 4 'W - ei . at The death of ROBERT WARNCKE greatly saddened those who knew him.

A roller skating party and the picnic we had at Rouge Park were our outstanding class activities in the seventh grade. We accomplished those successes under the capable guidance of our first president Robert Barns. The following year several more pages were added to our book of memories by the numerous activities of the class. Included among the important events were a wiener roast, a hayride and the memorable end of the year picnic. The officers we elected to help us over the rough spots of the past year have proven that our choices were wise ones. They were: Barbara Hollar, presldentg Fred Stanfel, vice presidentg Dorothy Julius, secretary, and Roy Roeser, treasurer. hnvnnj Row D Fawl I LaFrambo1se G Herkimer, B Hodi G Gorte, I Grimm, D.Edwards Row 2.

Even in the heat of a contest they always show the competitive spirit and sportsmanship which allows them to leave the field with heads held high, jf win or lose. A Q Led by their new coach, Ceorge Ockstadt, the football team fin- , ished the '48 season by taking second place in the Suburban B League if with a record of five wins and three defeats. Y Opening the season against their traditional rivals, the Romulus E Eagles, the boys came out on the short end of a 13-6 score after a hard fought battle. The team traveled to meet Ypsi Central the fol- lowing week, and they gave the over confident Braves a fight to remem- E ber. Outweighed many poumds to a man the fighting Tigers played smart ' football. The final score of 19-6 was the smallest margin of victory which f' Ypsi had all season. Belleville took its third loss the following week, bowing td Wayne, 13-6. E The next week the team began to click, as they downed Trenton, 13-7, for their initial win. In the opening game under the lights of the f' new athletic field they trounced a visiting Plymouth team by a score 6 of 13-0. The ledger was balanced the following week when the boys took their third' straight win, downing Redford Union 20-0. They maintained their winning streak by defeating Monroe, 19-7. Fifth and final victory - was secured in the unforgettable Lowery game at Fordson Field. Playing 5 under the most trying conditions the team skidded and swam to a 19-2 win on a ralndrenched gridiron, thus ending one of the most successful schedules in many years. Lady Luck deserted the basketball team in the opening weeks when they lost the first games to Romulus, 28 to 27, and to Ypsi, T 27 to 25. The following week they lost again to Wayne, 34 to 28. A Q slow start gave Wayne a long lead in the first period which the Tigers V were unable to overcome. In the next game Belleville bowed to Trenton - 34 to 26. The Tigers broke into the win column when they downed Plymouth 35 to 26. Dave Hollar set the pace by making ten points. Belleville 2 played inspired ball the next week when they walloped Melvlndale 37 to Pg 27. A final score of 51-42 spelled defeat in the Redford Union game ln which three starting Tigers were fouled out in the last quarter when the score was tied. With the next opponent, Ypsilanti, it was a slow Q start which gave them a winning margin. Although the Tigers outscored S the Braves more than two to one in the last half, they were unable to S overcome the handicap. The final score was 35 to 30. Once again the Tigers were downed when they lost a heartbreaker to the Monroe cagers in the last six seconds, 27-25. With three games left to be played the team prepared to wind up its '48-49 season. As six of the eleven varsity players will return next year, the Tigers can look forward to the coming seasons with confidence and optimism.
