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

They have seen it change and expand, they have seen three classes of seniors graduate, they have seen the freshmen banished to the Iunior High. Now it is their turn as seniors to be the top men, and then inevitably to graduate, leaving behind them the fun of their high school days at B.H.S. This year's seniors have had the very cap- able leadership of their President, Alfred Arkley, and his officers: first semester - Vice-President Pinky Anderson, Secretary Iudy Garwood. Treasurer Paul Secord-and second semester- Vice-President Paul Secord, Secretary Suzanne Sakaguchi, Treasurer Anna Palmer. The ad- visors, who did an excellent job of guiding them through the rough spots, are: Mr. Elmon Ousley, Miss Xena Carman, Mr. Walter Hoech, and Mrs. Martha Davidson. The '55's have participated in all the school's many activities, contributing a great deal to Bel1evue's heritage of leadership, good sports- manship, and scholarship. They have been seen in variety shows, as- semblies, and plays galore. This year their senior play, Kind Lady, with the leading roles played by Arlene Pastorius and Paul Secord, was a huge success. POLE REVIEW '55 The seniors have shown great spirit in all their doings. This spirit was demonstrated by their prize-winning float in the homecoming pep rally and by their name engraved on the homecoming plaque for two years. These top-notch kids have maintained excel- lent grade averages in spite of their many ac- tivities. They have broken all records for the number of members in Honor Society, with the huge number of forty-eight. All these brains had a marvelous time on their own boat on the Honor Society cruise. They have contributed much to all the sports, and have done a lot to help win a name for Belle- vue, especially in skiing and debate, and in win- ning the football championship. In their sophomore year the soph hop, Autumn Serenade, showed the initiative and spirit of the class, while last year's junior prom, Sakura Matsuri, or cherry blossom festival, was said by many to be the best dance seen at Bellevue in a long time. This year everyone had a terrific time at the fabulous, long-awaited senior ball. The Class of '55 has had four wonderful years at Bellevue. The members of this spirited and well-united class will, when they gather in later years, look back on and discuss the many mar- velous times they had together. 21
