Mr. Amerman has accomplished his duties with a generous spirit and fine impartiality. The deep and lasting interest which he has shown, serves as an inspiration to all who hold uppermost the best interest of our school.

KAMINSKIS, Sponsor EILEEN GONCZY, President CLASS HISTORY The year of years has ended and with it the events that the class of '50 will hold dear. Be- fore we step out into the wonderful world, 1et's take a backward look to the beginning of our his- tory. Well, really not the beginning but at least the most important part in our young lives. We were first granted recognition by the sophomores who proceded to initiate us in the ways of high school life. The year was full of new experiences which with the help of our pre- sident, Ned Hovater, proved to be exciting and memorable. Our sophomore year brought the delightful task of initiating the freshmen who were very lucky in escaping most of what we had endured. We then experienced the new responsibility of sponsoring our first dance, t'Spring Swing which proved to be successful. The rest of the year went smoothly under the guidance of our able president, Dale MacDonald. With our new class rings on our fingers we happily concluded the year. Juniors at last. With Dale Davis presiding we began a year full of activities. First, cardinal and white were chosen as our class colors and after seeing our sweaters we knew we had made the right choice. In April our J-Hop came into view and with the theme of underwater gardens, PETE KLAWSON, Vice-Pres. it painted a picture in our memories not to be for- gotten. Make-up, last minute rehersal of lines, and hands shaking from stage fright was the scene as we went on stage for our class play, f'Your Face Is Familiar. Our success proved we also had acting ability. The Junior-Senior banquet ended another memorable chapter in our history. At first it was hard to believe that we had reached the year of years, but with the new responsibility of being the leaders in school, we began to realize that it finally had come. With our senior president, Eileen Gonczy, taking on her new duties and the camera snapping our long- awaited senior pictures, the year began. Our play, Lean Rivers , was upon us before we knew it and with Mrs. Sarah Smith directing, it proved to be a success beyond all anticipation. The annual skip day and trip to Lansing followed and then the gay festivities of the last month. The Senior Prom, held at the Women's League in Ann Arbor lingers still in our memories. Then with the train whistle blowing, we began our trip to Washington, D.C. for six wonderful days. On returning, we fell into the fast moving days of Commencement. Now it is finished, and after taking this back- ward glance we see how much we have grown through these last years. We have gained know- ledge and friends which will influence the rest of our lives and will never be forgotten. 950 PAUL DYGERT, Treasurer MRS.

As we of the class of 51 look forward to our senior year, we can also look back on the past pleasures and successes. We made our start on a high school career with Richard Waddell as our seventh grade president. james Morris succeeded to the presi- dency in the eighth grade. Our social events included a skating party, a picnic at Rouge Park, and a trip to Belle Isle. Robert McQuaid was our freshman president. The sophomores gave us an initiation party and the year was ended by a trip to the Detroit Zoo. Our sophomore year with president Mickey Rogalle started us on a new adventure. We gave our first dance, the Hunter's Ball . Our beautiful class rings came in December. We attended a skating party at Susterka Lake. We closed the school year with a trip to Walled Lake. Mrs. Baker and Sponsors. Mr. Hearn, K FIFTY 0 E IOAN WEBSTER, Secretary JIM MORRIS, Treasurer Now, in our junior year, Bill Showler is president. We selected grey and wine as our colors, our motto, Setting Sail on the Sea of Life . The class had a skating party in Ann Arbor and it was a big success. Our I-Hop which was held in October was one of the fin- est parties of the year. As this goes to press we have begun prac- tice on our class play Full of Youth , and we are determined that it will be up to our high standards. We have had social hours which have turned out well and have given us all a chance to become better acquainted. We are looking forward to our junior-Senior banquet in the spring, and to the big senior year coming up. We hope it will be as happy as we expect it to be AA Setting sail on the sea of !9 life.

Our first year in senior high has brought a preview of the many school activities in which we hope to participate. The fact that we are at last entering the final years of school, gives us the feeling of getting somewhere. Remembering our active years in junior high we recall the rollicking roller skating party in the seventh gradeg the Valentine party in the eighthg the rained- out hayride and the Be-Bop Ball in our Freshman year. Rugged and robust was the initiation we gave the Freshmen class this year. We found it more fun to initiate than to be initiated. Ordering and finally receiving our class rings was a great experience for most of us. Wearing the rings was even-a greater thrill. We proved ourselves to be a social success by the gay party we held in the gym with the junior class as our guests. This and our past accomplishments prove that we have the strength and initiative to face our remaining years in school. With this confidence we anxiously wait to fill the vacant spot which will be left by the Juniors. Mr. Conrad and Miss Morrison, sponsors u 3? Q Ax ,y.

Our leaders are: Shirley Vandecar, President, Barbara Hollar, Vice-President, Patricia Arnold, Secretary, Marlene Birk, Treasur- erg Marilyn Gray and Robert Lipinski, Student Council Representa- tives. Our sponsors, Miss Smith and Mr. Kozma, have given us help and understanding that we greatly appreciate. The annual initiation, given by the Sophomores, was a big suc- cess though a little rough. Other activities the first semester were a social hour in the gym and a roller skating party. Second semester is promising to be a bigger success than the first. Our social hour was held in the evening under the supervi- sion of Miss Harris, who directed modern and old time dancing. Another party is being planned to which the Sophomores will be in- vited. We have a very large class, about 182, and we are very proud of all the school activities we participate in, such as sports, band, orchestra, and cheerleading. You may expect big things from our class in the future. Um 4? Mr. Kozma and Miss Smith, Sponsors ij S.. .'.E' S N Q 'Q ' X x W , Ja as Q5 .N S Rm My f 5 A F Q W , , , 'iinsif' .Y Q Q . E. Allen E.

NX ATHLETIC Our tiger athletic department is headed by Coach Tom Hill who is responsible for football, basketball, and track teams. He is ably assisted by Vitold Kaminskis, who also coaches baseball, and Mike Nugent, who coaches tennis. Last year a very fine athletic field with powerful night l1ght1ng and large capacity bleachers was completed. The day when Belleville will be a name to be reckoned with 1n competitive sports is not far off. FOO'l'Bl- LL 'Pkg f31'1lPVi1l0 --.. 0 Mi-2111 ........ 20 Belleville Trenton . . . . . . . . 6 Red.

Although the football team suffered several setbacks at the beginning of the season, the tide changed in time to save the Tigers from being labeled as an easy game. Our wide awake coaching staff found the trouble and then pulled the biggest upset game in the 6-B league. Switching from the single-wing to the T-formation, Belleville was able to upset Trenton 20-6 while being a 33 point underdog. Our new coach, Mr. Hill, a graduate of Western Michigan College, showed outstanding a- bility in college athletics and played professional baseball for the Buffalo Bisons. He pos- sesses a wonderful personality and is well liked by all the boys who work with him. While the reserve basketball team was busy tying Plymouth for leadership of the league, the varsity was experiencing its worst season in many a year. The Tigers suffered double de- feats at the hands of every league team. They managed to win only one game during the sea- son, this game was against Airport High of Carleton. The Tigers are to be admired though as a team that refused to throw in the towel until the last whistle blew. With twelve of the last year's varsity back for baseball and a great many newcomers to the track team as well as a good turn-out for tennis, things look brighter for the Tigers this spring. Everybody is working hard and all the teams are very serious about their workouts. Rest assured that the Tigers are not beaten and will be back on top soon. GOOD LUCK TIGERS! f 'N.

Under the fine instruction of Mr. Coffelt the band won an excellent rating in the State band contest where they met the keenest of competition. The annual spring concert at Redford Union showed that even though we have less time to devote to our music de artment, . our band, orchestra, and choruls stand Mr' Rlchard Coffelt among the highest. Mrs. Faris, the vocal instructor, produced many fine programs and discovered much student talent. The chorus made an excellent showing in their Christmas program which was broadcast bv station HRV. Team work and co-operation have brought our music department through a very successful year. Mrs. Virginia Faris r 5 rg' r , OKC-.I L'eJ lkhfrx Front Row: J. Buckwick, R. Roeser, M. Domen, M.

The smiling faces on this page would indicate that producing a year book is fun, and so it is.
