BUSY AS BEES The Girls' Club represented a swarm of busy bees this year throughout their activities and fun. Things really started buzzing when Queen Bee, Elisabeth Carlson, took over. The purpose of Girls' Club is to promote friendliness and good citizenship among all the girls at Bellevue. The Smorgasbord, headed by Janie Paschall, and the Christmas Party, with Barbara Paul as chairman, showed the efforts of all in friendship and cooperation. 18 A new feature this year was Girls' Club Week. This preceded the traditional Tolo where every- one really did Paint the Town Pink, as the theme suggested. The capable chairman was Pat Dotson. In the spring, mothers joined the girls at the Mothers' Day Tea, where the new officers were installed, and Mother of the Year was announced. A great deal of appreciation for aiding in the activities of Girls' Club goes to Mrs. Gustin, who is a honey of an advisor.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE SERVED WELL The conference room, the center of the A.S.B. meetings this year. was almost too small for the vigorous meetings of the large student council. In another year or two, the council may have to hunt another room in which to conduct its lively discussions of student affairs. The sound of the gavel, during the year 1954- 55, brought many an important conclave to order. Some of the affairs brought before the council were: selection of an A.S.B. historian, opening of a teen-age center, purchase of a spot- light, and issuance of guest cards to students from other schools. Visitors came from Olympia and Bothell to view the council in action and take home ideas to their own councils. The representatives to the council were all class and club presidents, the A.S.B. officers, and elected representatives from all first period classes. In home rooms the representatives dis- cussed council proceedings and announced de- cisions of the council to their classmates. Also suggestions and ideas were carried to the coun- cil from the home rooms by the representatives. The meetings were half an hour in length, and time was allotted for an hour meeting once a month, to be used as needed. The A.S.B. court functioned as usual with the objective to maintain order in school. The jury consists of a boy and a girl from each class: senior, junior, sophomore. The A.S.B. vice-presi- dent presided as judge. Exchange assemblies tended to promote a feeling of good fellowship among schools in the King-Co League. Bellevue traded assemblies with Lake Washington, Foster, and Issaquah this year. Money from the school treasury was ear- marked by the students for an inter-communica- tion system throughout the school.

Don Anacker presided over the council, which had representatives from each first period class. All the boys in school helped promote democratic ideals and good sportsman- ship. A general assembly on military problems was held for the boys. Mr. Watson, advisor, said it was designed with the hope that it would be a great value to all boys in making plans for the future. The boys combined forces with the girls in a successful dance. Its theme was Blues in Rhythm, with co-chairmen Iudy Dare and Bob BeVan. Each committee was headed by a boy and a girl and membership of committees was divided in the same manner. Intramural all-stars again matched their talents with the faculty team in the eventful annual basketball game. All the boys and their dads made a bee line for Dads' Night, which was held in the spring. A baseball game beforehand gave men and boys hearty appetites for the delicious dinner. 19
