This year's officers have been looked up to as our leaders, giving us ex- cellent examples of guidance and inspiration. Student Body President Dave Bird has success- fully completed his term of office as head of the executive department, seeing that acts of the Board of Control are enforced. He has conducted all student body and council meetings, and ap- pointed committees to investigate and promote school activities. I have learned a lot, said Dave, in handling all situations, and I enjoyed working with the ad- ministration and students. I consider being chosen to represent the students a privilege and honor. Vice-President Lorrine Stromberg has been Chairman of the A.S.B. Court and A.S.B. Historian. Also chairman of the assembly committee, Lorrine I6 deserves credit for the fine assemblies this year. Sueko Suguro, Secretary, has displayed diligence and perseverance in her office, as main link be- tween students and council. I have greatly enjoyed working for the stu- dents and I hope that I have helped them have a better understanding of school affairs through the minutes, Sueko said. The Treasurer this most successful year has been Paul Heckard. Paul is the first iunior in many years to hold an A.S.B. office. He has made monthly financial reports to the council, disbursed all money upon requisition of club or activity ad- visors, and has been our business manager. With the growing of Bellevue High School and its problems, these officers deserve much credit and thanks, for without their expert guidance and inspiration it would not have been possible to have had such an exciting and successful year.

OUR SPIRIT CONCENTRATED HERE Spirit was certainly popping at Bellevue this year. Among its many accomplishments in '53-'54, the A.S.B. Board of Control sponsored the pur- chase of a popcorn machine, a snappily popular success with the students. But this, contribution to everyone's noon-day happiness-was only a kernel onthe rich cob of the Board of Control's services to Bellevue. Weekly, the A.S.B. President's gavel called the Student Council in order to discuss the many problems of the student body. Since weekly meetings of all students were not practical, the council was com- posed of one representative from each first-period class, the A.S.B. officers and all class and club presidents, to function as representatives of the students. The Council formulated and enforced provis- ions of the constitution, made policy, interpreted regulations and suggested improvements. The year's first event, the good-fellowship Welcome Dance, was followed up with the gala Homecom- ing, with Queen, Court, and dance in traditional football fashion. Bon Voyage headlined the Variety Show, with many talents uncovered. But not the least talent uncovered this year was the genius of Andy Studebaker at running the pop- corn machine at noon and during athletic events. A hot topic for discussion at council meetings was the points system, limiting the student's par- ticipation in activities. The council exchanged meetings with Clover Park and Foster to learn how their student bodies work. Violations of school rules were handled by the A.S.B. Court, with its jury consisting of a boy and girl from each class. One of the most popular features of the council's work this year was the arrangement of many more assemblies, made possible by the new gym.
