Every boy in school is a member of the club, and although the organization was unable to have meetings as a whole group, it functioned well through its council, which consisted of repre- sentatives elected in second period classes. Reg- ular reports were taken back to the classes by the councilmen, and discussed by the students. One of the outstanding features of the program for 1953-54 was the part played by the club in 18 helping landscape the campus. The boys did a great deal of work planting shrubbery around the stadium, and generally helping with the beau- tification ofthe grounds. This year's club was more than usually success- ful in unifying the boys into one coherent group, promoting democratic ideals, school spirit and good sportsmanship. The annual Dads' Night was held in the spring. Fathers and sons ioined in a double-header base- ball game, followed by a substantial dinner.

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.

This year, under the guidance of Mrs. Gustin, the girls chose the merry-go-round theme of Carousel for the annual Girls' Club Tolo. The main obiective of the Girls' Club program was to foster round-robin friendship, with everyone friendly toward everyone else. This pro- ject was well carried out under the friendly leader- ship of Margaret Iverson, president. The most tangible evidence of Girls' Club activ- ity this year was the production of the Bellevue Handbook, a compilation of Bellevue traditions, regulations, officers, and other matters of interest to all students. The handbook was available to everyone. The Smorgasbord repeated its customary suc- cess, supervised by Elizabeth Carlson. At Christ- mas the girls showed their spirit by a party for needy children. lt was Sue Spaulding who led the girls through the happy spin of Carousel, and then in the spring came the year's climax, the fashion show and mother-daughter tea, the usual dainty, tasty occasion.
