from then to now The location of Belleville’s first high school—Central High—was the south end of the present Junior High School prop¬ erty. In 1917 the high school moved to its present location at 2600 West Main and became the Belleville Township High School. Mr. H. G. Schmidt was princi¬ pal, with a faculty of sixteen teachers, a physical plant consisting of the main building and the cafeteria-shops addition, and a student body composed of 348 pu¬ pils, including 27 graduating seniors. The following year the girls’ gym was added, and as the years passed, the campus grew with the addition of the auditorium in 1924, the library in 1934, the boys’ gym in 1935, the stadium and farm shops in 1940, and the auto shops in 1942. Today the faculty includes seventy-five teachers under the leadership of Dr. H. O. Hall, superintendent, and Mr. F. J. Friedli, as¬ sistant superintendent. The school dis¬ trict has been enlarged to include many outlying areas to provide an up-to-date education for 1303 students. Belleville enjoys one of the most complete all-around training units in Illinois, with facilities and training offered in departments of English, language, social science, mathe¬ matics, natural science, physical science, music, art, physical education, shops, agri¬ culture, commerce, and mec hanics. For thirty-one years B.T.H.S. has had its bi¬ monthly paper, the Hy News, and for thirty-five years, its yearbook, the Bellevi- nots.
