Suzanne Dennis, Carol Walker, Inez Yochs, Jackie Chrismore, Mary Ann Gass, Jan Reissen. mafeAty, t e queen. .. A hush falls, as the sparkling white carpet cuts through the breathless crowd. All eyes focus on the Royal avenue to the coveted throne of B.T.H.S.’s football queen. She has bright eyes so big and brown, That she would be welcome in any town. To ones of her own sex she is a menace, We give you now, Miss Suzee Dennis. When it comes to cheers, she’s top of the heap, A nicer girl you never will meet. With a beautiful skin of tan, Here’s the Reissen girl that we call Jan. She sings like a lark, That goes straight to your heart. A little girl who can do no wrong. Here’s Carol Walker as they play her song. She is petite and she is fair, The delicate lass with golden hair. A truer friend no one could ask, Than our own Mary Ann Gass. Redheads are famous the world around, And Belleville is no exception. With all the students she has a high score, Entering now, Miss Jackie Chrismore. The 1955 football queen takes her throne. Jackie Chrismore, Suzanne Dennis, Jan Reissen, Carol Walker, Mary Ann Gass. 105

Swish—what a shot f f ♦ 52-54, and it’s a jump ball from center! Our man gets the tip and dribbles down the floor for two points — 54-54! “Oh no!!

Some of the seniors had worked together through their four years of high school and played very well together. They didn’t mind the cold meat loaf, frigid vegetables, and warm milk that awaited them after their nightly practices. They worked hard, learned tricky plays, and made us proud of them.
