IH' OUR ELEVEN YEAR OLD PRINCIPAL Here we have Mr. Harold Heidenreich, our favor- ite symbol of integrity, wisdom, and all-around ex- cellence. This very popular gentleman, now in his eleventh year of leading Bellevue High, is one of the most outstanding educator-administrators in the state. His iudgment and capabilities were given formal rec- ognition this year when he was elected president of the Washington State Association of Secondary School Principals. Through his friendliness, sincerity, firmness and deep understanding of senior high students, lvlr. Heidenreich has led our school to nationally recog- nized superiority. He is an advocate of sports, a sound program of activities, and teen-age participa- tion in community affairs. To us, the students, Mr. Harold Heidenreich stands as a beloved symbol of Bellevue's happy present and high hope for the future.

f' ff f Sh shqmdiikif QI , y , Mr. Harold E. Babcock Newly from Wenatchee, Mr. Babcock gives a cheerful reaction to Bellevue. He likes the town, the school, the kids, and his subjects, physics and chemistry. A graduate of Montana State, he has done advanced work at Stanford, the U. of Cal. and Washington State. In college he was a well-known athlete, and has done a lot of football coaching. So both in physics and football he should know what happens when the invincible force meets the immovable object. Miss Xena Carman Colorful book reports, the ecstatic verse of Edgar Allen Poe in such laments as Annabell Lee fascinate the students of iunior English in room i57, studio of Miss Xena Carman. This many hobbied lad oes for creative stuff outside school, too- ' Y 9 such as the ioys of ceramic making and playing her Hammond organ. Miss Nancy Banks In addition to teaching girls' P.E. in this, her first year at Bellevue, Miss Banks cheer- fully and efficiently bustles around coaching the girls' ski team and acting as ad- viser of G.A.A. and the ski club. Her favorite recreation is swishing over snow- covered slopes, but she cherishes the not-so-recreational ambition of getting her master's degree. Mr. Jack J. Daly Familiar advice from the boys' P.E. teacher is make it pullI Mr. Daly, a powerful puller, himself, is active in athletics, coaching and following all sports. He says he dreams of helping to ooach an undefeated Bellevue football team. Five is his lucky number and next year will be his fifth year at Bellevue. Maybe that undefeated team is closer than he thinks. Mr. Albert W. Bianchini C'mon, sophomores, chin up! Climb, though the rocks be ruggedI So admonishes Mr. Albert Manners Bianchini, sophomore adviser, counselor, numismatist, and roommate of Mr. Terrey. A regular reader of the Wall Street Journal, Mr. B cher- ishes a dream of wealth vast enough to afford a secretary to keep his office neat and orderly. Mrs. Martha Davidson To read every book in the Bellevue High library, says Mrs. Davidson in reply to a query about her ambition. Last year she satisfied another ambition, to get her master's degree from the University of Washington, This is Mrs. Davidson's eleventh year at Bellevue, and she reports that life is most satisfying when she is deep in the complex business of running our library. Mrs. Eleanor Bilimoria From Bombay to Bellevue, from real flesh and blood tigers to a stuffed wolverine - this is the transition recently made by our new Spanish teacher, Mrs. Bilimoria. Her husband is still teaching in India, and Mrs. Bilimoria would like very much to see her family all together in America. Even though Bellevue's weather seems always cool to her, Mrs. Bilimoria asserts that she enioys her present surroundings immensely. Mr. Marvin L. Durham Sis-boom-bah! bellows Mr. Durham, leading the mighty seniors in their Homecom- ing cheer. Joe Casual of Bellevue High is much appreciated by the students be- cause of his willing ear and sincere advice in counselling. What's good for the stu- dents and good for the school, was his reply when asked what he dreams about in rare spare moments in his office. But like the rest of us, he dreams private dreams - about life as a college president. Mrs. Louise W. Brown Please eject that abominable chuckle, demands Mrs. Brown, junior English teacher and adviser. When not searching for budding Shakespeares or Miltons or kill- ing her '57 Plymouth in traffic, she enioys reading, travel, and one much-traveled cat. Mr. Edward Ekstedt To go to the moon is an ambition entertained by Mr. Ekstedt, teacher of world history, economics and special senior history. However, we hope he never gets a chance, because his ready wit and obvious devotion to teaching have made him a very well liked instructor. A stand-out feature of his lectures is his jovial exclama- tion, Great Scott! -V 931
