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!! It’s not a foul!’’ “Hurray! the point is good.” Ray’s boys did a very fine job all season. Some of the seniors had worked together through their four years of high school and played very well together.

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.
