THE BELLEVINOIS 1917 QEDitnrial Early in September of 1916 some talk of publishing an annual was neard among the students of the new Belleville Township High School, but owing to the press of affairs incident to the workings of an entirely new school, the matter was swept aside. The members of all classes felt that there was neither rhyme nor reason in attempting a task of such a nature and of such magnitude while surrounded by the uncertainties of the situa- tion. At the beginning of the new term in February, 1917, however, our new building was opened to our wondering eyes, and our appreciation for the consideration shown us knew no bounds. The month of February was largely taken up in installation and, therefore, it was not until early in March that the pres-ent volume got its start in the favorable report of a Senior committee on feasibility to the class of 1917. The chiefs of the staff were then 'elected and the publication of a Township High School Annual began to assume an air of possibility. Beginning a work as monu- mental as the publication of a complete high school year book in March in- stead of in September seemed at the time almost too late, but by the co- ordination of a capable student body, a helpful faculty, and a receptive community, the task was accomplished, and as a result we present the 1917 Bellevinois and incidentally our first attempt at writing an editorial. We shall not further dwell upon our labors, nor shall we burden you with a mass of acknowledgments, let it suflice that the work has been done, and that those who deserve acknowledgments are receiving their reward in the everlasting gratitude of the staff, of the class of 1917, and of the school. And now, gentle reader, we once again beseech your lenience and your ut- most sympathy with the aims and accomplishments of this volume. Turn this page and take, for the sake of your own youth, whatever you find here- in in the spirit in which it is given, praising, if you will, immoderately where praise is due, and censuring but lightly wherever we have failed to please.
