For the 1944 annual almost became a war casualty. It's never easy to publish a GLEEMAN. This year new difficulties -in the form of essential O. P. A. regulations-made it even harder. Materials were scarce, and the cost of everything had risen. Engraving supplies, indoor photography equipment, cover material, and films had been put to a '-more 'important use. There wasn't much left for us. We counted and budgeted and economized as never before. Now we present this record to the students and faculty of Bellevue High School land to their families and friends. A rationed GLEEMAN it is, but one which we hope will help, by picture and by word, to recall the pleas- ant associations of the past year. V' ' 7 f M' WM HKD 4....l........

Remember the Jgsse bk amateur program? Our represe atives all but walked away with thefshow, 'uniors winning every prize. We certainly were proud of Lewis lrwin, Bill Skerlong, Louis Stanisha, and Winnie Mil- ler that day. And who can forget the bursts of merrirnent issuing from the audi- torium as we presented our assembly skit, Mind Over Matter? The junior play was talked about and marveled over for weeks after it had been presented to an enthralled audience. The junior prom, however, was the biggest success of the year. lt was an event attended by many and remembered by all. As we pass on to the athletic activi- ties, we notice that practically the whole football squad was composed of our fellas. George Berg, Herb Grigsby, Iim Sexton, Tom Stewart, Karl Ackerman, and Pee-Wee Carlin were all gridders on the first team. This year's success in bas- ketball was due in part to our contribu- tion to .the varsity team. Bob Schneider, Bob Horner, Tom Dugan, Boy Wetzel, and star Don Albright were seen fighting many a tough battle for the glory of old Bellevue. These are but a few of our accom- plishments. lt has been estimated that our class alone bought, by the end of the Fourth War Loan, approximately S931 in War Bonds and Stamps. A note of seri- ousness was evident, too, when several of our classmates left for the armed forces. The junior class has, this year, firmly established itself. We feel that we are ready to assume the responsibilities of the Class of '45. Pat Donaghey GROUP I Row l: P. Allison, D. M. Ben nett, I. Brown, P. Donaghey, H Alloways, E. Dwyer, B. Chappell D.

As freshies we had lots of promise, and we'll leave it to you to judge whether we haven't done a good job so far. We proved to all that we elected good class officers last year, because we elected the same four this year with just a little shuffling. Tom Longabaugh, better known as Zeke to some, became class presi- dent, and Emerick Besser took over the vice-presidency. Sally Gillespie and Fred Black were re-elected secretary and treas- urer, respectively. We entered the world of sports this year, contributing many of our class ce- lebrities. Ed Oehmler, Fred Black, and Ernie Wyatt went out for football. The basketball reserve squad was composed almost entirely of sophomores, including Fred Black, Emerick Besser, Tom Liedke, Tom Pritchard, Tom Longabaugh, and one or two others, with Harold Snyder as man- ager. Last but not least, the sophomores have a bit of Texas, Paula Chambers, rep- resenting them as a cheer leader. For the sophomore assembly we presented three films, Know Your Football, Football, l942, and Championship Basketball. The orchestra and chorus have been well supported by our class. Bellevue High is chuck-full of musical talent, and the sophomores have made a good show- ing. You all remember Ladi Stanisha's violin solo which he gave in assembly! Also in the orchestra such names as janet Neesham, Sally Gillespie, Rose Marie Kurtz, jean Brinker, Lloyd Morgan, Dick South, and more appear. The chorus has an equal share of our class members, with one, Edith Gass, a member of the sextette. Several of our gifted classmates played or sang in the talent program. Of course, We didn't slight the band. Muriel Ripley is one of the high-stepping drum major- ettes, who have helped cheer our boys to victory and probably sent off many a draftee with a lighter heart. We played an important part in the war bond and stamp drives. For quite some time the sophomore class led in the sale of stamps. As sophomores we certainly haven't forgotten the club activities. Some of us have joined the dark-room enthusiasists. Many belong to the newly formed speech club. Girl Reserves and Hi-Y received our heartiest support. These and the other school organizations have provided interests for all with various classes, speakers, parties, and projects. ln looking over all the assorted clubs, teams, and musical groups we have belonged to, don't you agree that the class of 46 is fulfilling its promise of a success- ful nature?

' ...f L The Student Council of Bellevue High School has been carried on the past twenty- four years by students representing the various classes, home rooms, and school organizations. This year's officers are as follows: Bob Him- melman, president, lack Casey, vice-president: Tom Waters, secretaryp and Karl Ackerman, treasurer. Mr. Masoner is the sponser. At the Student Council meetings, which are held monthly, the representatives discuss any matters which affect the entire student body. The following day the minutes of the meeting are read and discussed in each home room, thus giving every person an opportunity to ex- press his views on the actions taken. At the next meeting these opinions and suggestions form the basis for the decisions of the council. Seated, left to right: L. Richard, D. Cust, B. Dugan, T. Longabaugh, B. Horner, T. Waters, Mr. Masoner, K. Ackerman, l. Casey, I. Pickens, I, Reilly, B. Davis. Standing: M. Simons, T. Carey, I. Morgan, E. Eiffler, I, Elder, B. Himmelman, D. Dillman, B. Grigsby, E. Oehmler, D. Barr, B. Miller, H. Swayne, P. Irons, L. Boeger, D. Dugan. For more efficient handling of details, the Student Council is divided into three main com- mittees. The assembly committee, headed by Louise Richard, arranges the assembly pro- grams throughout the year. This year the group has found it difficult, as always, to pre- sent original, educational, and entertaining pro- grams, however, the iob has been done well. Bob Himmelman and his executive committee handle those school affairs which arise between meetings and which must be taken care of im- rnediately. The field committee is headed by lack Casey. During football season this com- mittee keeps the field clear and maintains order during the game. Under the efficient Student Council and its three committees Bellevue High School is run in a democratic manner. Through this organi- zation the students may express their ideas and take part in the governing of their school. Barbara Davis Although the National Honor Society was formed more than a quarter of a century ago, it was not until May l2, l926 that Bellevue High School received its charter. The aim of this society is to create an enthusiasm for scholar- ship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in the pupils of Bellevue High School, thus, the essentials for admission to this society are scholarship, ser- vice, leadership, and character. Perhaps no other organization has such an excellent influence on the entire school. Much has been done to promote ardent endeavor in the classroom as Well as inclination for leader- ship in school activities and honor in all phases of school life. Only five per cent of the junior class and fifteen per cent of the senior class are eligible to be admitted to this honorary so- ciety. These members are chosen by the fac- ulty from the students who are in the upper third of their class and Who have spent at least one year in Bellevue High School. Seated, left to right: L. Richard, L. Eoeger, M. L. Sexton, P. lrons, P. Brumbaugh, D. Dugan, B. lrwin, I. Bowers, E. Chaney, M. Diederich. Standing: B. Grigsby, I. Casey. Not in picture: R. Vogeley, B. Oberle, M. l. Gillespie, T. Shipley. Near the end of every school year new members are taken into the society in a special assembly program set aside for this purpose, As the old members set forth the ideals of the society and new members take their places on the stage, many of the remaining part of the 43 student body resolve to attain this goal and to be honored for work well done, character well developed, and leadership revealed. Barbara Irwin While the students are settling them- selves in their assem- bly seats each Eri- day, the members oi the assembly com- mittee can be seen backstage preparing tor last minute changes in the pro- gram or seeing that all the announcements are listed. ln the audi- torium assembly has begun. The leaders take their places, the orchestra strikes up the open- ing march, students tile into their places. An- other program is beginning. The call to colors, the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag salute, the chorus singing America , the reading of the scripture, the prayer, and the choral Amen all follow one another in succession. Now the leader steps up to announce the program as the student body listens attentively. Louise Richard Chairman Working under the theme of Education, the committee, composed of chairman Louise Richard, Karl Ackerman, Barbara Davis, lack Elder, Donnie Gust, Pat lrons, lim Morgan, and Betty Cberle, is continually seeking new and instructive ideas for programs. Unceasing are the eiiorts oi Mr. Qstrander, their sponsor, in seeing that everything runs smoothly. Among the highlights oi the year were the student talent program, the Public Speaking Club's open forum discussion, the Avonworth exchange minstrel show, the iunior's skit, and the orchestra program. Ot course educational movies played a large part, but originality pre- dominated in the programs. The student par- ticipation programs were so well liked that they played a major role in the class assemblies and those of the various organizations in the high school. Each Eriday's assembly has been well- received by the student body, who will agree that this committee has succeeded in its task of presenting interesting, educational, and enter- taining programs. Louise Richard The Hi-Y year opened promisingly in Sep- tember with over sixty fellows attending the first meeting. Led by President Bob Himmel- man, the officers immediately began to lay plans for the following months. Soon every- thing was moving smoothly. The theme for the year, Preparing Ourselves for the Peace After the War, was developed through inspirational talks by Mr. Montgomery C Monty to the boysl, Coach Zundel, Mr. Masoner, Reverend White- house, and many other excellent speakers. This year the combined Hi-Y's of the North Boroughs were privileged to be hosts to the Old- er Boys' Conference of Western Pennsylvania. With the Girl Reserves and the citizens of the communities co-operating, the conference was made an outstanding success. In February Monty began showing educational movies every two weeks. These movies, with an occa- sional swimming party, tended to arouse a new interest in the l-li-Y. Near the end of the year a national Hi-Y organization was founded. The Bellevue club became one of the first mem- bers. Seated: B. Himmelman, president, Mr. CABINET Soups on Montgomery, sponsor. D. Thompson, B. Boardman, lim DeRolf, Standing: W.

The year just wouldn't be complete without it. The story of how this year's annual grew from a few mis- cellaneous ideas to the book you are now read- ing is a complicated one. ln the first place, there were many difficulties involved in secure ing an engraver and a printer, to say nothing of the trials undergone in getting the necessary materials. All the publishing costs had risen, too. Led by co-editors lack Casey and Dick Dugan, the sixteen members of the newly com- bined literary and business staff set to work to make this annual the best yet produced by our school. First, the theme had to be selected. Then the first dummy, which in printer's lan- guage is the plan of the book, was drawn up by Abby Clark. lt was Dick who suggested that the book portray a high school year in war- time. Dick also deserves entire credit for the art work, while lack carried the supervisory and administrative responsibility. This year Miss Taylor, the sponsor, was in charge of both literary and business activities. She worked X I 21 -M ---- W ttfrfa: as . - -. , est - ...,.. lack CGSQY T co-editor ' .,,, 1 .- .. -- Z..

Mr. Ostrander, Tom Swan, and Bob Vogeley helped by taking many of the pictures. By the end of February, Edith Chaney had drawn the second dummy to exact scale and completed it by pasting in the proofs returned from the en- graver. The hardest job of all was doing the write- ups. Literary editor Mary Lou Sexton handed out assignments to those in the various classes and activities who she thought could do the best job. Then she and Miss Taylor edited the copy, wrote headlines, and supplied theme continuity. lim Morgan, assisted by Karl Ack- erman, did an excellent iob on the sports sec- tiong responsibility of the senior section rested with Pat Pillow, Mercedes Baumbeck, and Ann Richards. ' The financial side of publishing should not be forgotten. Co-business managers Barbara lrwin and lack Wagner very capably handled their task, compiling and laying out the adver- tising part of the book. Susie Youles worked hard over the subscription lists, and Mary Lou Bryant spent many hours typing copy and transcribing letters. The GLEEMAN of l944 was assembled, the copy sent to the printer, and the final proof- reading completed by a weary staff. Here is your annual.

R.'s. The Big'n Little Sister Party planned by Elma, our program chairman, concluded the membership drive directed by Anne Richards. The members were officially recognized at the impressive candlelight service in November. The auditorium did not in any way resemble its usual selfy it was transformed by the radiant light of many candles and the soft music of the instrumental trio, Elma Zeigler, lean Brinker, and Rose Marie Kurtz. The sextette completed the service by singing Lift Thine Eyes. We then dashed down to the gym, where Ellie Dwyer led us in singing popular songs and Suzy Eckert directed games. Doughnuts and cokes were handed out by Thelma Shipley and Grace Kusserow from their colorful booth, and the evening ended with everyone agreeing that they had a swell time. ln December Mrs. Kanopka, a German refugee, spoke to us and made us truly appre- ciative of our American Christmas. Edith Gass and Iune Purvis were in charge of the lanuary meeting at which tray favors and scrapbooks were made. Sponsoring the sale of War Bonds and Stamps was a year-round responsibility for us and especially for our chairman, Louise Richard. Familiar to all was the jeep-booth occupied by our faithful salesgirls, Virginia Neavitt, Connie Stritmater, We did lots of other things this year.

The students were justly proud when early in the year We purchased two amphibian jeeps and during the 4th War Loan bought a Fairchild Training Plane.

Misstbtulder, the spon- sor, keeps the club canstantly on the go, giving her time and effort to individual voice culture and to the attainment of drjamatic confidence. The little radio skits and dramatic produc- tions held in room six or in the auditorium on Thursdays aid members greatly, because many students had speech difficulties, unpleasantly pitched voices, too soft or too loud tones, or too little confidence when speaking before a group. Each member receives constructive criticism, one of the best helps in achieving good speak- ing ability. Every week improvement can be seen in some of the students. At first they were a little stiff and self-conscious, but due to the friendly atmostphere prevailing almost every trace of shyness has disappeared. The pro- gram for this includes correcting tones and speech difficulties. The club also produced a play for the student body and conducted an open debate in assembly on several current topics. The students participated in a lively discussion, which, by its interesting as well as educational information, offered a worthwhile and diverting program. Standing, left to right: B. Helrnick, L.

With the click of a shutter and the turning of a dial, we focus ourselves into one of the bright spots in Bellevue High School, the Cam- era Club. During the five years since its organ- ization this club has acquired the best in up-to- date equipment. Directed by Mr. Ostrander, the sponsor, the members are able to develop their negatives, then make contact prints or en- large them to any desired size. Once a month there is a short lecture given by Mr. Ostrander on elementary photography, supplemented by slides sent by the Eastman Kodak Company. On alternate Wednesday ..g evenings the club meeting is devoted to a par- ticular type of picture, such as portraits, animal shots, action shots, and night pictures. On these contest nights photographs are submitted. From these entries the best ones are selected. ln May the ambitious members fitted room six into a picture gallery made up of the Winning pho- tographs and opened the exhibit to the public. The pictures, many of which could have passed as the Work of professionals, were a proof of the growing photographic skill of the group. The club members Whose prints were exhibited deserve credit for their fine Work. Iackie Bowers Row l: D. Evans, S. Ans- bach, l. Bowers, I. Camp- it 'r .1 N I 1' v fu ,t f' ,V iwtrszai J: i !

Black. Many people don't know what the Stage and Sound Crews really are. For those who don't, l'll explain. Have you ever stepped in- side the auditorium, not just because you want to, but because there is such a racket inside that you have to see what is going on? Upon open- ing the door you expect to find a pep meeting or a gathering en masse of Local 376 Amalga- mated Riveters, lnc. But to your surprise and amazement, there are only ten or twelve boys in dirty white overalls running hither and yon across the stage. The stage crew boys carry paint buckets, glue buckets, brushes, ten foot flats, stage braces, step ladders, or ropes. Those of the sound crew are burdened with speakers, mikes, and a maze of wire. Of course there might be one or two of the crowd resting on the stage, but as a whole they are running up and down ladders, nailing this, gluing that, plugging wires in everywhere, trying mikes and speakers, and shouting to Mr. Burrell or Mr. Gilliland, the sponsors, for directions. Suddenly everything stops. Everyone jumps from the front of the stage: they make a dash up the aisle, securing seats about the cen- ter of the auditorium. After several oh's and ah's, a few minor changes are made under the direction of a half dozen of the boys, while one or two others do the work. Soon the group adjourns to the little room to the left of the stage. the curtains are drawn, and quiet again pre- vails. Amazed and not quite sure of what you have seen, you leave the auditorium in a state of semi-consciousness. lf this has ever hap- pened to you and you are still not sure of what you have seen, relax brother, you have just witnessed the stage and sound crews at work.

Brinker. lt's 3:lU Wednesday afternoon. Through the open door of the auditorium comes an assortment of sounds. Snatches of melody from the high-voiced Violins, sounds of the low- lceyed cellos, grumbling notes from the basses, reedy Voices of the woodwinds, and sharp tones of the brasses all add to the general confusion. When Teach takes his place, the noise as- sumes the pattern of tuning. Now the orchestra is ready to begin its regular weekly after-school rehearsal, featuring music in a lighter and more modern mood than was possible when they were preparing for the forensic contests. They still, however, retain their ability to play the semi-classical type of music. This year the fiftyfsix members, directed by Mr. Ruthart and headed by Dan Dillman, presi- dent, have had a heavy schedule. They played for assemblies and for senior and junior plays as usual. Almost immediately after school opened in September, extra rehearsals were called to prepare the group for public appear- ances. ln mid-October they, with the chorus, provided music for the Western Pennsylvania Educational Conference at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in Oakland. Featured was the combined orchestra and chorus presentation of the Ballad for America. This was also the finale of the fall concert held later in the month. At the Christmas program the presentation of the two groups was the beautiful cantata Childe lesusf' Upon returning from Christmas vacation, the orchestra set to work with a will. The ob- jective was a trip to Camp Reynolds, an army replacement center. There at Service Club No. l they were enthusiastically received. The well known musicals, Show Boat and George Ger- shwin's Girl Crazy, and Dave Rose's Holi- day for Strings constituted the program. This modern music was also well received by the student body at the orchestra assembly presen- tation the following week. Early in March the orchestra gave a concert to finance another trip. This time they traveled to lndiantown Gap Military Reservation near l-larrisburg. There they played for two pros- grams, one in War Theater No. l and the other in the Sports Arena. The soloists also pre- sented a program in the Red Cross Recreation Mr. Ruthart Hall at the camp hospital for the patient's there. Yes, the orchestra has had a heavy sched- ule this year, but everyone pulled together and did his share. Each member enjoyed the year and received great satisfaction from work well done.

Yes, the chorus was practicing the first few days of school. Before them was a long and busy year. After six weeks of intensive work a program was presented for the annual Western Pennsyl- vania Educational Conference. Since only twenty members had belonged to last year's choir, it was necessary to mold together prac- tically a whole new group. This difficult task was accomplished, however, and a moving per- formance given. The Ballad for America by La Touche-Robinson was featuredg also pre- sented were secular and religious selections. Soon afterwards, on November l2, the chorus and orchestra gave their annual fall concert, which consisted of the numbers given at the teachers' institute plus several additional ones. included were the beautiful God is a Spirit, Holy Lord God, and those perennial favorites, Kathryn's Wedding Day and Echo Song. Our echo, located in the balcony, gave quite a novel effect. The chorus appeared never to have a moment's rest. Early in November they started to prepare for the community Christmas service. The strains of the cantata Childe lesus could constantly be heard issuing from room six. Then Christmas finally came. ln a setting of simple but effective decorations Mr. Ostrander directed the stirring concert, which will long be remembered by the community. Honors seemed to be heaped upon our chorus this year, for they were the first to be asked to sing at Carnegie Music Hall with the Bach Choir. Our whole school was proud of them. Left back row: H.

On April 22 they gave another performance at Carnegie Hall, this time with the well-known organist Dr. Marshall Bid- well. The spring concert in May featured music arranged by Fred Waring. This new type of program was well received by the audience. At the end of May the chorus successfully com- pleted their year by singing at the impressive Baccalaureate service. We cannot forget our boys' ensemble this year, for it is a well-balanced, successful group. Organized late in the first semester, the en- semble consists of about sixteen members. They worked diligently and rehearsed several times weekly, preparing to take part in the spring concert. They also sang in various churches in the borough. This group features special arrangements of Navy Hymn, Ye Everlasting Doors, and O How Shall l Receive Thee, along with the novelty song, Who Did? and the familiar Stouthearted Men. We are justly proud of the ensemble this year. They have worked hard to provide pleasure and en- tertainment for the school and for the com- munity. GIRLS' SEXTETTE Front Bow: E. Gass, I. Bowers, I.

T. A.'s, the girls prepared a new pro- gram of light operatic music, which they pre- sented at various events. At the end of their schedule of programs the choral groups all agreed that this year will go down as another successful and memorable milestone in the history of B. H. S. choirs.

This year we have not been very successful in our attempts to establish an active club, for many conflicting forces have interfered with our progress. At the beginning of the new term in Sep- tember we had an encouraging turnout. Twenty-five girls joined the club. As Christmas season drew near, however, many of the older girls started to work. Our membership dimin- ished so much, that we decided to disband the club until after the holidays. ln lanuary we opened another member- ship drive. Though many of the old members did not rejoin, we had enough new girls to con- stitute the club. First we decided that we would learn the fundamentals of volleyball so that we could form a team. After only two or three weeks of practice we received an invitation from Avalon High School's Girls' Athletic Association to play with them in their gym. Though we were still very inexperienced, we accepted, and fif- teen of our girls turned out for the event. We played several games of volleyball, losing them all, but at least scoring a few points and gain- ing some valuable experience. After our encounter with such a well-organ- ized team, we began an intensive training pro- gram. We worked hard, but we all had a lot of fun and learned quite a few things about volleyball. Now that we have become more proficient in the game, we are planning to re- turn Ava1on's hospitality and participate with them in another evening of contests. This time we hope to turn the tables, giving them a taste of defeat. Betty Logeman R. Brush, V, Neavitt, B lrwin, L. Roeger, M. Fre denburgh, P. Trew, B. L Thomas, E. M. Bryant, E Chaney, B.

Nearly every Tuesday and Thursday after dismissal these musicians could be heard in the auditorium or on South Howard Street preparing tor the tootball season. Many students, lured by the clashing ot cym- bals and the beat of drums, watched the prac- tice, and heads appeared at the windows of the houses as the procession marched down the street. The band is one organization which the students should really appreciate. By their snappy tunes they help to give pep to both toot- ball players and ians. Led by high-stepping drum majorettes, this musical group entertains at the halves ot the games, marching in bright unitorms of red and black. li QQ- lst Row, Cheerleaders: M. Seidenstricker, S.

Several groups of draitees were given a bright- er send-ort because they had music as they marched down to the station and waited tor their train. ln October the band played at a bond rally in the high school auditorium. They also marched with the bands ot several neigh- boring communities in a 3rd War Loan parade from Emsworth to the high bridge. The lively music of the band leaves every- one in higher spirits. This is one oi the most colorful and spirited organizations in the school. Betty Chappell aihlliini 'af Tim, ff , A! CD, Qfgfi 'GX . 51 g.

Unlike the average high school elevens, which had been hard hit by the draft and the general con- fusion created by the war, Bellevue boasted a crop of husky gladiators eager to play the game. When the smoke of competition for first team berths had cleared away, a line aver- aging l65 pounds comprised our forward wall. In the backfield came our comparatively small but hard-hitting four-horsemen. And so on that fateful September 24 the untried eleven made its way to the West View dust bowl. To the delight of all Bulldog fans the boys really scrapped and took the Indians' scalps by al9-6 margin. This was the clash in which the boys showed their wares. An air of expectancy and apprehension arose from the spectators as to the coming seven games. The first home game with Avonworth attracted the best gate receipts in years for two reasons. First, the field had been improved to such an extent that seats for approximately 400 people were avail- able: and secondly, the team had performed so well that people were eager to see them. The game was one of the best seen in this lo- cality for several years. Up until the last three minutes of play the Bulldogs held a seven-point margin by virtue of a second quarter sustained drive and Dugan's well-placed conversion. However, in the closing minutes the game broke in favor of the Antelopes. As a result the game ended with the score at 7-7. The follow- ing week the Bellevue stands were again crowded to capacity. The contest was a return engagement with the West Viewites. The Bull- dogs proved too strong a match, especially on home ground, and trampled the hapless crew 26-O. I-limmelman's field-generalship and Mal- colm Smith's touchdown power drives were featured in the game. Myers kicks Dust Bowl Where did that ball go? No season is complete without a rainy game, and 1943 was no exception. On the afternoon of October 15 a steady' downpour commenced at noon and lasted for hours. Avalon balked at postponing the long awaited skirmish at their stadium, and the game was played or sailed on schedule. The sloppy mess consisted of one muddy sea, twenty-two soaked school-boys, a stand full of loyal fans, and three disgusted officials. The score? Oh, yes, U-O. The second half of the season began with Bellevue visiting Perry's stadium and taking it on the chin for the first time to the tune of 14-6. Nevertheless, Carlin and Haggerty proved that even though small they could gain quite a bit of needed yardage by means of their swift foot-work. Somehow, though, this game seemed to mark the beginning of el foldo. A few of the boys cou1dn't stand the gaff and Shaler squeezed out a 12-7 victory, the game ending on Shaler's one-foot line in Belle- vue's possession. A sorry chapter indeed it was in the records. lt appeared that the boys would snap out of it, as they led Avalon by a 12 point lead in Coaches: Zundel and Shope. the first quarter of a return engagement. Bob Grigsby's blocking helped to pave the way for the scores, but the hidden foe called condi- tion blocked the path. Avalon came from behind to win 15-12. The crowning point came when on a cold November 12 Avonworth held a 6-O lead to win a very dull contest. Although the season was not successful, the loyal support of the student body was ex- ceptional.

Eventually the elim- inations were made and the team began to polish up. For their first game the squad traveled to Mt. Lebanon to edge out a 38-37 victory. Besides this non-league victory, they also held wins over Dormont and Carnegie on the Bulldog floor and Aspinwall on the latter's court. Then the league games began. These were the games that really counted and naturally showed much competitive opposition. Leetsdale bowed to the Bulldog guintette on the home pavilion as Dillman demonstrated his high scoring ability. Another non-league game, this time on Shadyside's massive floor, proved a victory for Bellevue. Edgewood and West View were easy wins for the Bull- dogs on the home i scoring honors. loor also.

The rangy Avalon squad seemed a little too power- ful for the local five, as they won by a score of 36-29. The gloomy spirit of defeat was lifted as the gang toppled Mt. Lebanon for the second time. ln a return bout with Leetsdale, we again trounced them and went on to give the same treatment to Perry. After disposing of Edgewood, West View, and Sewickley, each for the second time we battled again with Avonworth. The result after a tight and hard fought game was favorable to Bellevue, even though the classic was played on Avonworth's court. Then the fateful day of February 22 rolled around. That evening the Belle- vue five faced its toughest test of the season, Avalon. Up to that time, the sectional honors seemed almost certain for the Bulldogs. However, all dreams were shattered when the Panthers defeated our Bed and Black by the slight margin of six points, the final score being 33-27. 67 S Although we lost out in the last round, the team made a very good show ing throughout the season. The aggressive ettorts ot Himmelman Drllman and Albright, plus the defensive coordination of Eiitler, Schneider Dugan and Casey proved a section-winning combination.

Mr. Shape, the coach, had his annual headache of sorting out the boys who would need more practice and experience before they could qualify. After about one week of try-outs fifteen boys from a group of about sixty were chosen. These boys proved that they possessed the ability to represent the high school in the forthcoming preliminary games. The first game, a non-league affair, was played at home with Mt. Lebanon. The boys dropped this contest by a one point margin, but they showed capa- bilities. The games in the regular North Borough's League, Avalon, Avonworth, and West View, were the most interesting and spirited of the season. Many games with intra-mural and other independent clubs, however, were equally exciting to the spectators. These games with local teams had to be scheduled because of transportation difficulties, which were equally endured by all schools. The first game with Avalon on their floor was perhaps the hardest fought of the season. Avalon saw fit to use three members of its Varsity, thus creating a decided handicap for the Bulldogs. Despite this the team lost its only league fray by a one point margin, 40-39. From there on it was smooth sailing. The old saying is that Revenge is sweet. This indeed was the case in the return game with Avalon, who was swamped 54-15 in nothing short of a walk-over. With each game the inexperienced underclassmen improved in finesse as well as in fundamentals, and each member added some feature in order to bring about victory. Haggerty's scrappiness, Bob Schneider's rebound ability, Ackermarfs timely shots, Liedke's ball-handling, and Besser's defensive play synchronized to present a winning combination. The last games of the season showed that Bellevue High School will be able to keep up the tradition of outstanding basketball teams. This year's win- ning reserve squad comprises next year's winning varsity. Left to right: T. Liedke, H. Thomas, E. Wyatt, I. Haggerty, E. Besser, L. Morgan, T. Pritchard, B. Straw, T.

'SL a- i T -1' Where the smoke of Pittsburgh's fac- There in all its grace and beauty, Stands Sing her praises, tories Rise ot the sky, our Bellevue High. loud resounding, Let us take a glimpse into the headlines and bylines of the future, into a time twenty years hence. Zoomftime passes so quickly-here it is 1964 already. Weeks and months have passed just like days. Why, it seems like only yesterday that Ralph Superman McKee won the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for poetry and Robert Grisby revolutionized the world by unearthing the secret of smashing atoms. His colleague, Douglas Myers, former professor at Harvard, now claims the title of richest man in the world. Mr. Myers has the interesting hobby of collecting old-fashioned automobiles, possessing one dating as far back as 1931. It has been rumored that he paid ace newspaper woman lackie Bowers 324,468 for it. Miss Bowers, by the way, wrote that amazing article about lack Wagner and his ad- vancement in the field of electricity in yesterday's Bellevue Bugle. Manager lack McClain of the Bugle and head protog- rapher Tom Swan have just completed a picture article entitled Bellevue in the Past. Strangely enough, our fair city once had a population of only l2,000. Mayor Ross has just disclosed that the latest census shows our poulation is now past the 73,000 mark. Superintendent of Schools Rob- ert Vogeley and high school principal Elizabeth Mantick re- port that in our new high school 3448 pupils are enrolled. Three of the teachers are graduates of dear old B. H. S., class of '44. Betty Lou Brinker and Ellen Amon teach home economics. Isabel McCartney teaches P. D. As I remem- ber, it always was her favorite subject. l notice in the headlines of today's Bugle that Duck Thompson, lnch Fleming, and Bud Hannon finally suc- ceeded in making their non-stop flight to Saturn. They had their rocket ship built by Harold McCloud. Helen Brown drew all the plans, Pat Gribben and Phyllis Trew assisting. I am not surprised to see the names of many of my old classmates in the newspaper. Elsie Klein and Martha Died- erich are in the midst of their world-wide debate tour. Their subject deals with our two foremost singers: Can 'Sinatra' Boardman Ever Replace 'Crosby' Smith or Has He Already? Bob Lewis, pilot of their specially built plane, is famous, as you know for his invention of the wing- less, propellorless airplane. His chief test pilot, Regina Kopp, was the first woman from Pennsylvania to hold such a position, though now La Verne Bennett and Helen Gass have entered the field. Looking further down the front page of the paper, I see that Senator john Bloomer and Representative lean Christie, both of the Congressional Committee for Investigation of Drainage Ditches, have submitted their report to Speaker of , , , . S 1, , 4 If Il ,, , ., . ,F , ., 3 ,, ,- ., ,V 11 . lf j , ,ix il 1 ,:it' A t 4..,f .. the House Langdon. Langdon refused to be interviewed on the subject, but news commentator Dick McGif'fen pre- dicts that soon important news will be issued from the White House. Presidential Secretary Marion Fredenburgh said she has been instructed to give out no details. District Attorney Caldwell has again made a smashing triumph for justice, this time against the black market on electrons. Private detective Peggy Iackson has astounded her male associates by recovering Margaret l7laherty's stolen jewels. Miss Flaherty has now announced a party in celebration of the event. Two famous authors will be guests of honor: George Bast, author of TWO GUN TESSIE FROM TENNESSEE and Grace Kusserow, who wrote MY HEART IS WITH HENRY IN HEAVEN. Among the other notables to be present are Tom Slugger Waters of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Lois lean Sexton, New York buyer for the Bellevue branch of Schossow's department store, and Anne Richards, who is now head model of Merriner's Mani- kins, Inc. The society editor of the Bugle, Iune Reilly, today re- ports that Betty Lee Thomas will speak at the annual American Legion convention to be held in Bellevue next month. As a former member of the W.A.C., Miss Thomas will speak on The Woman's Duty to Her Country. Lieu- tenant Virginia Neavitt of the SPARS will also talk. The convention headquarters will be at the new Hotel Haggerty. Miss Reilly relates that screen star Mary Lou Bryant stopped at Hotel Haggerty only last night. In an interview with the society editor, she stated that her director, former Admiral of the United States Navy, LeRoy Ripley, predicts great futures for two Bellevue starlets, Norma Barker and Margie Thompson. The society page also records that four house- wives compose the parents' committee for the newly organ- ized P. T. A. They are all happily married now, but when we knew them they still retained their maiden names: Ioann Poole, Ruth Schutte, Bernice Moran, and Susie Youles. The former Lois Hamm is president of the P. T. A. Last Monday the formal announcement of the new offi- cers of the Cooperative Club for the Study of Darwin's Theory were announced. Phillip Brumbaugh is president, lack McDonald is vice-president, Edith Chaney is secretary, and Frank Straw is treasurer. President Brumbaugh says that he hopes enough new information will be unearthed this year to almost completely prove the validity of the well- known theory. On the society page of the Bugle there is one more item to be remembered. Tomorrow night at the Eiffler Opera House a pupil of the famous singer, Mary lane Gillespie, will make her first public appearance. She is Eunice Monk, who, after months of preparation, will appear in the Let her colors fly: Always love our Dear old Bellevue High. Alma Mater, leading part of Louise Roeger's operetta, Tallahassee Music critic loan Robblee expects the new singer to climb far on the ladder of success. On page three of the paper is a half page ad for Horst's Vitamin B Pills. Next to it is a picture of Betty lane Mercer, cover girl, who says that she wouldn't think of using anything but Miss Margaret Capp's Complexion cream for her beauty nightcap. Of course she uses Shipley's Soap, too. Speaking of advertising, Louise Richard is head of the Bugle's advertising department. Gloria Gamble and Lois Williams do all the art work, while Barbara Irwin takes care of the copy. Together they make a fine team. Turning to the sports section, I first come across Dave Blayney's column, Sports as a Science. Today's article is about women in this field. Virginia Weingartz has become Americas woman tennis champion, and Peggy DeCarlo just won the silver trophy for high diving. Strange- ly enough, neither of these champions was active in her sport until only a few years ago. Blayney reports that tomorrow lim Newmyer and Dona Schutte will engage in a battle of wits in the finals of the annual checker tourna- ment. It is expected to be an exciting contest. Also on the sports page is the thrilling autobiography of All-American, Bud Smith. The story is running serially, following that of his fellow All-American, Bob Himmelman. All through the pages of the Bugle are the names of the graduates of the class of '44, It seems to have been an illustrious one. David Mueller, head of the desiging de- partment of Eaton Aircraft, Inc., is said to know more about airplane engines than any other man in the world. Begin- ning as a garage mechanic, Mueller slowly worked his way up to his 34,000,000 a year position. Also working at Eaton Aircraft are Connie Stritmater, private secretary to the third vice-president, and Ida Hailstone and Mary Lou Pachuta, who are in the personnel department. Bob Schneider is now chief draftsman for an architec- tural firm, Harry Zehnder is carrying on experiments with synthetic wood, and Dave McKnight has done advanced work in the television field. loe Bisese is a dollar-a-year man in Washington. Pat Pillow is a renowned surgeon, the first woman surgeon, in fact, to receive her education in China. When the war ended in l945 Miss Pillow went to China to live. She did not return to this country until four years ago. Edna Mae Thomas and Betty Oberle have both become dancers. Edna Mae is at the present time trying to revive jitterbugging, which died out after Harry lames got drafted way back in IQ44. Betty is the Belle of Broadway. Ed Perry is also a dancer. His talent for ball- room dancing is known the world over. In fact, when Arthur Murray retired, he chose Perry to succeed him as dancing master of America. Now I turn to the financial news of the day. Beta- Million Bonner, who gambles daringly on the most un- safe stock on the market and always seems to win, is caricatured by cartoonist Dick Dugan. He is depicted cash- ing in his winning ticket on a rickety, flea-bitten, a hundred- to-one shot race horse, Truly, Bonner's luck is incredible. Here is a notice that the president of the First National Bank of Bellevue, Wright Royston, has called a board of directors meeting for next Monday. Walter Klindworth and Rachel Lawton, trustees of the bank, anticipate that a divi- dend is to be declared. I know it will not be a surprise to all our old class- mates to learn that the new president of the Carnegie- Illinois Steel Corporation is Iohn Casey. Casey has worked long and hard. Only ten years ago he was attending Raehn's School for Industrial Workers in order to learn more about his business. lt was there that he vowed to some day become president of Carnegie-Illinois, and he worked until that vow was kept. Taking Casey's vacated position as first vice-president is Miss Betty Logeman. The movie news is one of my favorite sections. The greatest attraction of the year, Pistol Packin' Grandma, is being shown now at the Linden. Milly Kenney and lack Tyrone Grant are the stars. lack Elder, manager of the Linden, usually has to announce standing room only at about 7:30 every evening now, for besides such a great picture, there is a wonderful stage show. The famous Dan Dillman and his magic trumpet are featured. Well, I have just about finished reading the Bugle for today, but I shall not forget to mention some of the other names I have noticed. Pat Irons is successful as a radio announcer, Betty Ruehl models the newest creations of Americas top dress designer, Margie Clarkg Patty Mueller is touring the country in her latest series of piano concerts, Bill lames owns a large chain of grocery stores. One of our classmates, Marion Kloman, is chief inspector and trier- outer for a leading mattress company. I am happy to learn, also, that Shirley Vickerman has been voted the best dressed woman in the country and that, last but not least, Mercedes Baumbeck is distinguishing herself as a learned psychologist. While reading of the people I have known these twenty years or more, I have been thinking of all the good times we had in high school. The four years sped by more quick- ly than any we ever knew. Though then I would have laughed at such a thought, I wish now I had those years to live over again. But enough reminiscing! My eyes are weary and the newspaper slips from my fingers. The day is ended. MARY LOU SEXTON 1.6 vvx yxx .. A 7. Eff' I h ... X 5 5 1 4 gg .ff c h 4 i x? .47 , xX - at V ig .xdcfuerfidemenfff American Shoe Repair ..... L. G.
