DEDICATION To: Dr. George B. Brain BECAUSE - He is kind and just and wise, Has led us by a sturdy hand To where Bellevue High is today - Well known throughout the land. And because - By aggressive leadership And by the power ot his mind He has gone a long, long way, Not leaving boys and girls behind. And especially because - He can smile and joke and laugh About the things young people love And keeps himself in spirit near, Never aloot, remote, above! SO, TO DR. GEORGE B. BRAIN, OUR VALUED FRIEND, WE DEDICATE THIS SYMBOL OF OUR DEEP ESTEEM- THE 1958 BEACON. LEADING US ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS One memorable day last fall, Dr. George B. Brain, Superintendent of Bellevue School Dis- trict, came to spend an hour with Beacon class. It the boys and girls on the staff had not known before what a human person is chief admini- strator of Bellevue schools, they certainly found out then. His visit confirmed his reputation for a deep, broad comprehension of the problems of education, right down to the problems of put- ting out the 1958 Beacon. He even laughed at the promotion skits specially performed for his benefit, thus showng the ultimate of under- standing! Keeping a school system up-to-date in teach- ing techniques is one of the most vital functions 4 of an administrator, and Dr. Brain devotes much thought to this matter. He says that his pet peeve as superintendent is lack ot time to meet all boys and girls and teachers in the classroom where the actual teaching and learning take place. In pursuit ot further professional growth, Dr. Brain spent the year 1956-57 at Columbia Uni- versity in New York where he earned the degree oi Doctor of Philosophy. There he re- vealed such rare qualities of inspiration and leadership that other school districts and a number of colleges made strong bids for his services. Bellevue is indeed fortunate that Dr. Brain has chosen to stay here.
