As we walked through the arches and turned to the right or to the left to find our classrooms, we felt the chal- lenge of the new year. The halls, freshly waxed, stretched like black ice under our feet. Each year has its special interests. This was the year of the Ivy League Look. The feminine version of it, like the masculine was striped, neat and very sharp. Spring brought the wide skirt fad, bouffant, swishy and made of picture prints. Wide enough to be out of the ante-bellium period and almost as difficult to manage, they were the most colorful fad of the year. Hair styles were our only real individualism. Some days the arches were bathed in warm sunshine and then we liked to linger on the steps, hating the sound of the bell which brought us in. Swirling snow blinded us at other times and made us hurry. Sometimes we paused to trace out with our eyes the strong words cut into the stone above the center arch- Every addition to knowledge is an addition to human power. How we accepted the challenge of these Words is the story of this year's Comet. How our well-managed school and effective teaching helped achieve this power is part of the story. How taking advantage of the school's program in organ- izations, sports, arts and recreation helped us achieve the power of a well-rounded life is also part of the story. 1? ,,.,,.- . -,.,.q ,.2. . my t,.,, A A,,, f, 2- - ,, , - L- ., 11 fi..

It is in the classroom that a student strives for this perception. Through his academic efforts he forms opinions and judgments. His education prepares him to fill any post with credit and to master any situation with facility. FACULTY The occasion was the dinner meeting of the Bellevue Classroom Teachers Association, April 4, 1957, at Shumaker School. It cele- brated the centennial of the National Educa- tion Association and gave this opportunity to record the ,faces of the faculty. A point of professional pride is that the group includesAMiss Anita Ruffing, currently serving as president of the Department of Classroom Teachers of the Ohio Education Association, and Mr. F. D. Swigart, who served as president of the Northwestern Ohio Education Association during 1956.

The recognition we have won- These are moments that we'll long remember. Lyrics: by Sharon Pittenger and Sadie Belle Tetirick The hours of fun together, with the friends that we have known Will linger in our memlries after many years have flown. Though now we leave it all behind, All through the years we still will find We'll remember days at Bellevue High School. We've hitched our wagon to a star: The dreams we have will take us far, But our high school days we'll still remember. The lessons learned, the morals taught Will help us find the goals now Soughtg And our high school days we'll long remember. Oh, God, we ask for guidanceg all our standards Go Thou through life beside us, And lead our eager feet. The years will flyg the time will come When all our battles we'll have won.

Library Club and Service Club are synomous terms. Along with the library's service to the school go many social activities for its members. On the social side are the Christmas and Halloween parties. Initiation of new members and a Book Week Tea for the faculty made interesting projects for the club. Highlight of the year was the field trip to Cleveland and a guided tour through the Cleveland Public Library. Student librarians take library work as a subject and receive academic ffc' ' credit. Under Mrs. McComb's supervision each student works weekly periods at library duties, setting up book displays and reporting on his reading. Richard Jamison, senior, completed his fourth year of library service in the high school library. For qualities of dependa- bility, responsibility, helpfulness and high standards of conduct he was selected to re- ceive the special award given by the Public Library and high school library. This award, given to a graduating senior, con- sists of a gold pin made like an open book with the inscription, Library Service.

Frau Gruber Christmas play this year brought back memories of the earlier show done in 1951 with Joyce Katuzman and Edward Monarchi in the leading roles. The story centers around the broken organ in the village church and little Heinrich's disappointment in being unable to pump it for the Cantata. How warm-hearted Mama and Papa Weismueller comfort him and send the boy to Reverend Mohr's with a Christmas basket makes a pleasant scene in the play. The climax of the play is reached when Heinrich rushes the lyrics of the new song written by Reverend Mohr to Franz Gruber to complete the melody of Silent Night, Holy Night. The story of UA Song is Born ends on this happy note. Junior Class Play cast and director will not be apt to forget the nightmarish moments before curtain time while waiting the delivery of the flapper era costumes from New York. How- ever, the uncertainity of wearing strange cos- tumes seemed to be no obstacle to the Belles on Their Toes cast. Overheard in the hall af- ter the show were such remarks as tremendous job of casting, smooth costumes, timing ex- cellent, voice projection tops, sharp dance routine, wonderful story. The play, directed by Miss Emily Sayles and presented in the high school auditorium on No- vember 15 and 16, was the true story of the Gilbreth family.

When she leaves on a European trip to make speeches on her husband's timestudy methods, the children set out to prove they can take care of themselves. At this point in the play, trouble, fun, and a completely entertaining story begin to unfold. Cousin Leora's inability to get along well with the children and with Tom, the general handy man, affords the audience a chance to pull out the stops and laugh until it hurts. Stars of the show, behind the flats rather than the footlights, were Sandra Norman as student director and Janice Ayers and Georgeanna Miller as bookholders.

Bellevue Redmen, better known as the Mighty Midgets, wrapping up their season with a 12-7 win over Port Clinton, completed one of the finest gridiron seasons in the Belle- vue record book. Their only loss came- as the result of a 20-7 defeat handed them by the Shelby Whippets. The Redmen's powerful offense racked up a total of 223 points while their fine defensive play limited the opposition to 88 points. The scoring trio of Helber, Wise, and Krupp ac- counted for 215 of the 223 points scored. Kent Helber, one of the highest scorers in Redman history, finished the season with 114 points. Heading the Mighty Midgetsl' hard-charg- ing line attack was veteran guard Nick Bel- fiore. Nick and his fellow linemen's ability to outcharge the opposition, paved the way for many Redman TD's. Rounding out the senior stalwarts in the forward wall were: center Bill Roberts, tackle Lennie Phillips, and end Bob Jeffries. Five Redmen were selected on the N.O.L. all-league team by the league this year. Play- ers making the squad were: Kent Helber, Ken Wise, Tom Krupp, Nick Belfiore, and Bob Bailey. Nick Belfiore and Kent Helber were unanimously selected by the league coaches as outstanding lineman and out- standing backfield players respectively. Nick also made first offensive guard on the ALL- Ohio School Boy Squad. Helber and Wise were named to the ALL-Ohio Honorable Mention Squad. Results of the Redmen's fine season could be credited to the team's hard work, spirit, desire and the ability to work together under the leadership of the co-captains Ken Wise and Nick Belfiore and the excellent coaching by the head coach Lowell Shaffer and line coach Burnell 'fCurly,' Hoffman. -e Varsity Football Schedule Sept. 7 Bellevue ...... 0 Sept. 14 Bellevue ...... 35 Sept. 21 Bellevue ...... 27 Sept. 28 Bellevue ...... 20 Oct. 5 Bellevue ...... 33 Oct. 12 Bellevue ...... 34 Oct. 19 Bellevue ...... 34 Oct. 21 Bellevue ...... 21 Nov. 1 Bellevue ...... 20 Nov. 9 Bellevue ...... 12 . . . . .
