“ . . . the current of life is ever onward.” Time and motion arc the elements of our daily lives. The atmos¬ phere of the school year is set by the momentum and moods of students. The Bellevinois has sought to observe and to narrate the moments and actions of the current campus life in 1968-1969. ‘‘Time is a sort of river of passing events and strong is its current . . . We are as streams flowing into the river of life —small tributaries growing little bv little as time passes. Lost at first, we begin to develop and are swept into the current of classes and spirited activities. As the seasons change, we change. The tempo of ac¬ tivity and thought increases during the year as we gain knowledge, experiment with unknowns, form rewarding relationships, and participate in varied patterns of work, sport, and play. As summer approaches, for seniors there is the reali¬ zation that they will no longer be part of the tempo and motion that is Belleville West. For them there is an end — and yet a beginning. Ihe familiar is left behind and the future, a new and promising course, lies ahead. 2
