Bellevue High School - Beacon Yearbook (Bellevue, WA)

MEMORIES OF SCHOOL CHERISHED One of the oldest and most cherished of high school traditions is that of the annual. Throughout the nation, stu- dents have been busily working on their yearbooks. Here at Bellevue, we are ready once again to turn the pages of our Beacon which brings us the re- assurance that the good times and friendships of our high school years will not be forgotten, but will live on in this album of memories. All of these memories are meaning- less mementos of the past, unless with them you, the boys and girls, have ac- quired the logic, the vision, and the understanding that will enable each of you to make your life what you want it to be. Our faculty and this community have confidence in the ability of our graduating seniors to do just this. Our best wishes go with you. Au. gpm todaqt -s 4, t 12 OFFICE Tp M K ll L Lft M D tad L Rght.

Kolb Mr. Roy Wahle Mr. Alanson T. Powell Mr. Brian Lawrence EDUCATION VITA The authors of the Constitution counted on education to make possible the operation of our democracy. At that time, both education and suffrage were limited. But there was an aspect of freedom that was instinctively held to be universal, and that was opportunity. As it became increasingly clear that oppor- tunity for all could not be had without educa- tion for all, universal education became a part of liberty, and not only rudimentary education but also high school and college education for those who desired and could use it. K in-5' -daf- L FOR DEMOCRACY Freedom, education and opportunity have now become inseparable. They have also be- come unconquerable. Freedom and education and the opportunity that comes with them have generated the moral skills that have given free men the strength and tools to defend their heri- tage. Liberty generates the strength to defend itself and spread its gospel. It is the sincere hope of the Bellevue School Board and Administration that all graduating seniors will continue their pursuit of learning and knowledge, for their own welfare and for the betterment of mankind. ll

MRS. PNYLLIS Al.lEN Excuses. excuses, excuses! are the pet peeve of Mrs. Allen who speaks here for most other teachers too. With her many activities as a soph- omore English teacher, she combines her work as a sophomore class adviser, When asked about her future plans she answered, Someday, some- how, somewhere, I am going to become a nice. lazy beachcomherf' MR. ARNOLD BIERMANN The knee bone's connected to the thigh bone: the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone: and all bones are connected to Mr. Biermann's health classes. When not concentrating on bones, Mr. Biermann says he enjoys the peaceful atmosphere of a mountain stream. Perhaps he does not even mind the remoteness of tower II after all. MISS XENA CARMAN My word! is the favorite expression of junior English teacher, Miss Carman. She asserts that her first love, after her 'Sl Plymouth, is the 150 students she has each semester. She divides her free time among ceramics, reading, bowling, and the 'l'.V. program Our Miss Brooks. MR. ROBERT CROWN A sportsman whose favorite relaxation is hunting and iishing, which he plans to do some fine day along with extensive travelling is the distribu- tive education teacher, Mr. Crown. He is keenly interested in his retail selling instruction and deplores the habits of the irresponsible pupil. Each year Mr. Crown strives to help students gain interest in distributive education as an occupation. MR. JACK DALY The slap of a basketball and the clatter of a punching bag tell the visitor to the gym that Mr. Daly's P.E. class is working out. A graduate of College oi Puget Sound, Mr. Daly spends his spare time playing golf: that is, when he is not busy minding his seventeenvmonth-old son, Brian. MRS. MARTHA DAVIDSON Mrs. Davidson's persistence in snaring elusive overdue books is only one aspect of her many- faceted personality. Her broad traveling expe- rience throughout Europe and America has given us a very well-versed librarian. Each day when her work here as walking encyclopedia is ter- minated till tomorrow, Mrs. Davidson hurries home to her pleasant duties of mothering two daughters. MR. DONAI. DISTAD Golf, golfing. and All-Star Golf are Mr. Dis- tad's favorite pastime, retirement plan, and 'l'.V. program respectively. Golfing provides his only time of real relaxation. His world history and journalism classes keep him busy: as attendance supervisor he hears many a student's woes: and after school he goes home to two very lively youngsters. No wonder Mr. Distad sometimes dreams of finding a deserted golf course on a desert isle. MR. MARVIN DURHAM Get the facts is a familiar expression to all students of Mr. Durham. As a teacher of Wash- ington state history and contemporary problems, his main interests cluster around international relations. However, during vacations, he may be lound relaxing and camping in the Cascades or the San luan Islands. He says he does not plan on retiring for about a century yet! 13
