m Belle vi, euinois Published By The SENIOR CLASS OF 1951 BELLEVILLE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL, BELLEVILLE, ILLINOIS VOLUME XXXV “What lies beyond? I’ll go and see, For my horizon is calling me. Experience, adventure, bid me away And I am determined to conquer my day.” In high school we discover there . . . is somewhat of a change . . . and we must study subjects that . . . are not a little strange . . . for instance, we have civics and . . . the chemical do¬ main . . . and in geometry we get . . . the solid and the plane . . . and many are the courses we . . . may follow or reject ... as long as we advance as much ... as parents may expect . . . but also high school is a place ... to gain athletic fame ... or in some other manner to . . . acquire quite a name . . . and while our graduation seems . . . just one more stepping- stone . . . we think of work ahead and feel . . . that we are really grown. James J. Metcalfe ’T is education forms the common mind Just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined Pope orewor , J For most ol our lives our parents and teachers have attempted to impress upon us the duties oF each oF us to ourselves, our homes, our country, and our world. Now we arc beginning to realize the importance of ourselves as indi¬ viduals in the group of which we are a part. We are beginning to realize that the future of the world rests heavily upon the quality of its youth and that we must accept the responsibility of making the best use of our lives from day to day that we possibly can. If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. Poor Richard s Almanac 2 J, tea tlon To Mr. E. G. Hexter, a competent teacher and a true friend, vve dedicate the Bellevinois of 1951. His faithful service as Registrar plus his jovial and pleasing personality have made him a person whom we’ve learned to admire and respect. In his description of the Clerk of Oxenford, Chaucer, the earliest of English poets, drew a picture of the true teacher. His love for books, his philosophy for living, his delight in continued study, his clear thinking and his moral integrity stand as a pattern through the centuries. It is the closing words that ring with meaning for teachers, with assurance for parents, and with significance for all of us: “And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.” E. G. Hexter Jet, nGiuledcjment Working together diligently, and in complete harmony, as an inspired team, the stall members of this year’s Belle- vinois were most lortunate in receiving excellent cooperation Irom all quarters. Deepest thanks are extended Miss Jane 1 Iansleben, our sponsor, lor her diligence, patience, and intelligent advice at all times. Appreciation tor technical assistance in engraving layout is gratefully tendered Mr. Harry Swain ot Central Engraving Company, St. Louis. And to that untiring Belleville printer ot this book, Norman Semmelroth, wi our heartlelt thanks lor the competent execution of a difficult assignment.

In addition to the routine accomplishments such as selling chips every Monday morning to relieve the lunch hour turmoil, the Council adopted a Greek war orphan named Kostakis Vlahos. The members distributed cards describing what to do in case of atomic attack, and provided a guide service for visitors to the school. Class elec¬ tions were conducted in a democratic man¬ ner, a Christmas dance was sponsored, and members of the Student Council served as ushers at all Community Concerts. Student Council advisers are Miss Meta Stenger and Mr. Oliver Cross. Members are elected by their classmates to represent the entire stud¬ ent body. 69 “JEWELS OF THE DESERT” Directors - ■ - Miss Hope Baer, Miss Marjorie Switzer Abdullah - CAST - - - Larry Watson Professor Lythe - Ronald Standerler Nana .Joan Diller Caesar - - - - - Jim Wilhoit Miss Lythe - - Ruth Harpstrieth Betty - - - - - - Janet Baltz Carrieall - - - - - Helen Cox Lt.

The staff of this year’s Bellevinois, recog¬ nizing its responsibility to produce a work that would adequately describe B.T.H.S. life, activities and accomplish¬ ments, strove with willing diligence to do a creditable job. True, there were trying times, when deadlines had to be met, copy rushed from typewriters, advertisers convinced and pictures hurried to the engraver. But there was also time lor play as well as work, and some of the most cherished recollections of staff workers wi ]] be ever entwined with their me¬ mories of Bellevinois activities. We who have been privileged to serve our school by helping produce the 1951 Bellevinois, have tried sincerely to por¬ tray through word and picture, the year’s historical record of our school, its in¬ structors and students. May this book today, and in the years to come, conjure for you, fond and pleasant memories of the B.T.H.S. you knew in 1951. The Editor I he Hy-News is published twice a month by the students of the journalism class, under the supervision of Miss Lillian Jossem. Students may take journalism in their junior and senior years. The methods of journalistic writing are taught and put in practice by the publication of the hly-News. The journalism students who keep high grades and do outstanding work on the school paper, qualify for membership in the Quill and Scroll, a national journalistic society.

These things the fellows are willing to endure to take part in sports, whether it be to win or to lose. They are our heroes, whom we cheer to victory on field and court. | L This years Turkey Day game will long he remembered by Belleville fans, cjven though we were on the losing end of the 14 to 12 score. A blinding bliz- © zard raged throughout the contest, but our boys played one of their best games of the year and had people wondering why they finished the season with only 6 victories.
