TCD Tl-IESE TWO MEN D. H, PATTON The seniors of 1938 regard Mr. D. H. Patton as our superintendent in a very special Way. He came to Belle- vue in 1932 as we entered Junior High and We remain- ed under his guidance until the middle of our senior year when he became assistant superintendent of the Toledo, Ohio, schools. Although he began work in Bellevue during an economic depression, Mr. Patton with the Board of Education, kept the schools in excellent financial stand- ing and at the same time helped them move forward in line with modern educational methods. His forceful, enthusiastic leadership was felt throughout the entire school system. Individual students felt his personal interest. The seniors join with the rest of the school and faculty in wishing him success and happiness in his new position. GUI? GUIDES AND CDUR EIQIENDS

WE PAY TIQIBUTE E. E. WARNER It is fitting that an annual with time as its theme should honor the man who served the Bellevue schools for the longest superintendency in its history. Prof. E. F. Warner was our school head for twenty- eight years, from 1886 to 1914. Under him there was rapid progress. The school plant grew from two to five buildings, the curriculum was enlarged, and the standards so advanced that in 1902 Bellevue was accredited by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools, When Mr. Warner resigned to become a state school inspector, he remained keenly interested in the work he had built so well. As a retired citizen in Belle- vue, he retains that interest today. TCD ONE WI-IO BUILT IN Tl-IE PAST
