IS FOR THE SENIOR CLASS Once upon a time, four long years ago, a group of excited, bright-eyed boys and girls, just like you, my children, entered Bellevue High School. They were called freshmen and their fa- vor-ite color was green. They were so tiny that many of the larg- er children stepped on them and pushed them about, but the lit-tle freshmen were too small to do anything about it. They did not know what they wanted to be when they grew up, but they were glad they were on their Way. Soon they began to choose their own spec-ial kinds of toys. Some took funny looking horns and drums, others liked playing outdoors with pig-skins filled with air, and still others, mostly girls, took a great liking to spoons and knives in the home e-co- no-mics de-part-ment, for this was just like playing house. So the children grew. The next September they were called soph-o-mores, A new toy was added to their array this school term - a won-der-ful drum corps with shiny gold bugles, little red drums, and gay red capes.

' 11'-ffl., JUNIOR HIGH The Ellis School stands near the high-est point in Bellevue. It has sunny rooms for the chil-dren who live in the south part of the city. They have ice-cream so-cials and other good times at this school. The younger chil-dren who live in the east part of the city first learn the three R's at the McKim School, which has pleas-ant rooms and a nice playground. The Pike School stands facing busy West Main Street Where many trucks and au-to-mo-biles pass it daily. Back of this school are swings and slides, and the foot-ball field for the big boys from high school. The Junior High School is the fine old build-ing which stands beside the Central High School. It has its own au-di-to-ri-um, and in its re-mod-eled base-ment the pupils' bi-cy-cles are kept out of the rain and snow. The boys and girls who are not old enough to be in high school go here.

Pets, which came all the way from the World's Fair. The pets and es-pe-cial-ly the cute little monkey de-light- ed the children. But still the youngsters grew and grew, just like Al- ice in the rabbit hole. When they began the school year of 1934-1935, they were jun- iors and almost grown up. They chose their class jew-el-ry and were happy as kings to be able to wear the beau-ti-ful rings and pins. In Feb-ru-ary they held a pa-tri-ot-ic dinner-dance and loaded their guests with many goodies. Later on that year they gave a won-der-ful party for their big friends, the seniors of '35. This they called the J unior-Senior Re-cep-tion. And still the boys and girls grew and grew and grew, almost like Jack the Giant Killer's wonderful bean stalk. In Sep-tem-ber of 1935 the height of their glory was reached, for they had become mighty seniors. Of course, children, you know that means they are the oldest students in the school and are the wisest and most dig-ni-fied and most busy people here. All through the year they tried to be big brothers and sisters ON TO YOU THEIR TALE THEY PASS 15
