Ohle, who, as our class sponsor, has given many hours of untiring effort, to make our four years of high school successful and memorable. Clocman — 18 Siuu u l fcaqoJc to ChAumsL The high school life of fhe Senior Class of 45 has by no means been a normal one. Soon after we entered high school, war was formally declared, and we saw many boys of upper classes leave to serve their country. Many of the activities usually enjoyed by high school students we have been forced to forfeit. Yet we have accepted our changed school life as a war-time necessity and have made it something we will long remember. As freshmen our first important class activity was to elect our class officers. At the same time we chose the carnation as our class flower, green and white as our class colors, and What we are going to be, we are now becoming as our motto. Our worth was first proved by our Freshman Assembly program Elmer , a one act comedy. As sophomores we were more than well represented in the various school activities. Our assembly program, two short plays, Oh Say Can You Sing and Abe Lincoln in Pittsburgh, was chosen to represent Bellevue in an exchange assembly with West View. During our second high school year, we began to grow up. Then we became juniors — upper classmen. Our talents were even more prominently displayed. That we had sev¬ eral capable actors in our class was shown in the junior play, He Couldn't Take It. The high point of our junior year was the prom. Finally we reached our senior year. We have shown that we can take respon¬ sibility of school leadership. In our senior play, Till Further Orders, many seniors displayed acting abilities which had been previously unknown. Who will ever for¬ get the senior football and basketball players, who worked hard to achieve the high standard that Bellevue maintained throughout the athletic season? Our sen¬ ior year has also had its more serious side and has brought changes. When our Vice-president, Karl Ackerman, left in Feb¬ ruary, Jim DeRolf was elected to take his place. Two of our boys left for college at the beginning of the second semester, and several joined the armed forces. What is in store for us after gradua¬ tion is uncertain, but we face the future, eager to assume the responsibilities that will be ours.

Foremost in the minds of a of us was the thought that we were Cupper classmen at last. This fact presented us all with a new outlook on life in general. We spent most of the first day strolling tonportantly through the halls, gazing at this year's crpp of green freshies with sympathetic eyes,' and remem¬ bering the day, not toofidr past, when we had been in Aftpb cyfsw weeks spent in becoming accustomed to school life again, we held a clap election. Ouf voting resulted in the election q i Emerick Besser as president, Ed OehinMr as vice-president, fustine Richard as Secretary, and Fred Black as treasurer. These officers, -proved their worth as the year progressed, and helped to make our junior year an outstanding one in our high school career. As in past years, our class fully sup¬ ported all activities with its usual enthusi¬ asm. On the Girl Reserve Cabinet were Margie Simons, Sally Gillespie, Nina Weav¬ er, and Paula Chambers, who served as th representatives of the many junior helped to make this ful one. As a result of sembly, we discovered midst when a group of our vided entertainment for part The boys of the junior throughout the year in the also contributed to the success Speaking Club and the Camera In the sports world enthusiasm rose high among the junior fellows.

We feel that we have accomplished much in the way of pre¬ paring ourselves to take the place of this year's worthy senior class. Although we hate to see them go, we will say good-bye to the Class of '45 with a smile, for now that it is time for us to assume our responsibilities as seniors, we are looking forward to it with great anticipation.

October, the Student Council met and v orgdtiiifed, choosing as its leaders; Bob Horner, V president; Karl Ackerman, vice-president; Abby Clark, secretary; and Don Dunbar, treasurer. Members were then appointed to specific du¬ ties. The assembly committee was headed by Jim Morgan and the athletic committee was led by Karl Ackerman. Jim DeRolf was given the responsibility of the outside bulletin board. Throughout the year, this organization was QourndL very active in all matters concerning the school. In November they staged a very successful football dance, celebrating the victorious sea¬ son and honoring the senior sports lettermen. For the basketball games, particularly the Avalon-Bellevue game, they purchased at¬ tractive basketball pins with the Bellevue colors attached. These pins were purchased by almost every student and served to identify our rooters at the big game. The council also served the school in a patriotic way. Bob Horner (standing) Row 1 — J. Dolan, C.

The council also voted to change the service flag using a single gold and blue star and numerals, in place of the individual blue stars. Betty Chap¬ pell, appointed by the Girls Council, made this change, and the flag was dedicated at the Easter Assembly. The Student Council has brought about some changes which will be a great help to future classes. We hope the underclassmen will profit by our experiences. Glseman — 44 ¥ TLodtwnaL dfxm L Soriudi Hanging on the wall above the right hand trophy case in the second floor hall is a docu¬ ment which is important to the students. The document is important also to the school for it is the charter granted to Bellevue High per¬ mitting the school to operate an honorary so¬ ciety for its students. It is only one part of the great organization in the United States, the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society is just what the name implies, a nationwide organization to honor students of high merit. Its aim is to establish in young high school students a desire for scholarship, service, and leadership, and to encourage the development of each student's character. Back row: A. Clark, B. Lund, M.

To be included in the membership a stu¬ dent must possess certain qualities and live up to certain standards. Only five per cent of the junior class may become members. Each stu¬ dent, chosen by the faculty, must be in the up¬ per third of his class and have spent one year in Bellevue High School. Toye, J. Richard, S. Homan, J. ReRolf, H. Moser, At the end of each school year the new members are taken in at a ceremony witnessed by the entire student body. With the emblem of the National Honor Society as a background the old members set forth the principles and ideals of the society, which the new members swear to uphold. Gleeman — 45 ismnayL In addition to its war time difficulties, the Gleeman started out the year with a new and inexperienced staff. They were fortunate, how¬ ever, in having as their leaders, three former members, Karl Ackerman, fames Morgan, and Abby Clark. These students together with Miss Taylor, literary advisor, met during the sum¬ mer to organize a staff and make tentative plans for the coming year. Since speed was necessary to insure the students of a June publication, the new staff met the first week of school, choosing as the theme of the 1945 Gleeman, Looking to the Future World. Bob Berger, our capable pho¬ tographer, worked with the co-editors to select suitable illustrations and pictures to carry out the theme. Up to the time he reported to the navy in January, Bob could be seen snapping pictures almost any time at almost any place To another service man, Dick Dugan we owe our clever cartoons. Through the efforts of Rita MacDonald, Carol Chambers, and Suzanne Eckert, almost every student's picture can be found in the annual; of course the seniors have the prominent position. Carol and Suzanne are also responsible for the senior write-ups, on which they spent hours attempting to des¬ cribe the seniors in a manner a little different than usual. The co-editors, aided by Miss Taylor, had the layout for the entire first dummy completed by December 1. At that time they turned it over to Betty Chappell, who calculated the number of words necessary for each written article, and who, working with Ann McKee, activities editor, and Pat Donaghey, class edi¬ tor, assigned the write-ups. At the same time Karl Ackerman, sports editor, assigned the write-ups for the sports section. Three other hard working staff members — Nancy Myers, Ruth Slosser, and Betty Clark assisted in the prepara¬ tion of the final dummy for the printer, by past¬ ing pictures and by proof-reading the copy. Seated — P. Chambers, N. Myers, B. Clark, D. Barr, R. Slosser, A. McKee, C. Chambers. Standing — S. Homan, E. Gass, K. Ackerman, E. Oehmler, B. Chappell. ■ Gleeman — 46 i landing — L. Stanisha D.

Under the guidance of the business adviser, Mr. Ellen- berger, co-business editors, Lou Stanisha and Don Albright and their assistants Emerick Bes¬ ser, Ed Oehmler, and John Means could be found at almost any time in Room 2, turning in ads or subscriptions. Credit is also due to our typists Shirley Homan and Julia Jackson, two ind.ispensible staff members. In these pages the Gleeman staff has at¬ tempted to record and print for you those events which have made this year a memorable one — one which you will want to remember always We present to you the Gleeman — a mem¬ ory book of Bellevue High School--- 1944-1945.

At the retreat the cabinet members, Elma Lou Zeigler, president; Paula Chambers, vice-president; Margie Simons, secretary; Betty Chappell, treasurer; loan Pickens, council rep¬ resentative; Abby Clark, senior representative; Sally Gillespie, junior representative; Betty Clark, sophomore representative; Sally White, Miss Wagoner Miss Hunter freshman representative; Nina Weaver, devo¬ tions chairman; Ellie Dwyer, music chairman; and our sponsors, Miss Wagoner and Miss Hun¬ ter, decided upon 'What Shall I Do Next? as the theme for the year. We planned to carry out the theme in two ways. The first idea was What Shall I Do for Myself? After the membership drive was concluded, we made plans for our ceremonial and Big'n' Little Sister Party. The rain spoiled our plans for having the ceremonial on the athlethic field; therefore the candle-light service was held in the gym. New members were impressed by the solemnity of the ritual and the soft glow of the candles in the darkened gym. Afterwards the big sisters endeavored to become better acquainted with their little sisters, and many lasting friendships were made. Then all seri¬ ousness was put aside, and we were enter¬ tained by the Freshman Talent Program under the direction of Sally White. For our November meeting Paula, our pro¬ gram chairman, asked some of the alumnae to tell us about their work. These talks were help¬ ful to us all, because we now have a better pic¬ ture of college life, the business world, and the life of the cadet nurse. Gleeman — 48 In January we discovered that the G. R.'s have varied and unusual hobbies. Foreign dolls, cups and saucers, china dogs, and pic¬ tures were displayed, only to mention a few. The girls with hobbies of an entertaining nature, also had their chance to shine. Remember how funny Ruth McKnight was as one of the Andrew Sisters? Our second idea was, What Shall I Do for Others? Betty Chappell Stamp Chairman, managed the sale of War Bonds and Stamps very effect¬ ively and efficiently. Joan Pickens, our Social Service Chairman, had charge of sending six girls to the St. John's Hospital every day after school, to serve trays to the patients. The girls who did this work received a great satisfaction from it, because they learned the joy of helping others. We hope all the girls now have a deeper understanding of themselves and others as a result of the year's work. Elma Lou Zeigler Gleeman — 49 This year found the Camera Club one of the most active organizations in the school. Its officers, Bob Berger, president; Mary Toye, vice- president; Lois Hayball, secretary; and Lewis Irvin, treasurer, with the aid of the club's spon¬ sor, Mr. Ostrander, were greatly responsible for the success of the club. Bob Berger's departure to the navy at the first semester was a big loss, but the Camera Club carried out its program satisfactorily. Meetings were held once a month in Room 35. A lecture prepared by the Eastman Kodak Company and illustrated by slides constituted the main part of each meeting. The lectures, which were both interesting and informative, .covered a variety of subjects, such as COM¬ POSITION, CHRISTMAS CARDS and CRIM¬ INAL PHOTOGRAPHY. At each meeting mem¬ bers entered their own pictures which were voted upon for entry into the May exhibit. For this exhibit the pictures were enlarged and mounted. Since varied types of photography, such as silhouettes, tabletops, portraits, and Christmas cards were the themes of the con¬ test, the exhibit, given in cooperation with the art and domestic science classes, was well- rounded and represented a year's labor well- spent. The winners chosen from the exhibit were awarded prizes for their exceptional work. The Camera Club proved to be a neces¬ sary asset to the school this year both in pro¬ viding pictures for the Gleeman and in cover¬ ing school events. Football games were re¬ corded in black and white by several enthusi¬ asts. A new light, namely the flashbulb, was put on P. A. dances. A unique P. A. dance was given at which many of those present were surprised by bursts of light as pictures were taken during the twilight dance. Free prints were given to everyone who had been pho¬ tographed. The knowledge gained this year by club members has furnished them with either an in¬ teresting avocation or an introduction to an ex¬ citing vocation. In pleasure and experience, the efforts of the Camera Club proved beneficial to the school and its amateur photographers. Mary Toye Officers: Bob Berger, L. Irvin, L. Hayball, M. Toye Row 1 — B.

As a member of the national Hi-Y organization, we had reports from the yeqtHy meeting held at Oberlin College. Dele- s were sent to the annual Older Boys' Con- ence of Western Pennsylvania, held at New righton. The representatives told about the good times they had had and the many other phases of the meeting. County Hi-Y meetings were held quarterly and were attended by our members and sponsors. At the last meeting, the boys looked back on the past season and determined in the com¬ ing year to make the club and its members even greater and more outstanding than before.

The crew dis¬ misses the players and play very lightly and accents the positive — the work of the crew. These builders of scenery and operators of lights are a proud and scornful lot, proud of their knowledge of stagecraft and scornful of playwrights and players alike. Watch one Mr. Burrell Mr. Gilliland of them enter the auditorium and stride down the aisle to that (to him) holy of holies, the crew room. To the outsider everything in this room seems to be out of place, but to him the room is very orderly. He knows the location of every pot of paint, rope, and tool of his craft, and woe betide the outsider who disturbs their resting place. This pride of craftsmanship is a natural thing born of long hours of hard work and the tutelage of Mr. Burrell, a perfectionist who'll brook no second rate work, but must have the best that skill and materials available will per¬ mit. Several of the crew, interested in electricity, study under the guiding hand of Mr. Gilliland, the mysteries of sound and projection. From him they learn what makes the P. A. System and movie projector run. As with the regular crew, they are on hand to lend their knowledge and talents to dances, movies, speaking pro¬ grams, and various other entertainments. May the crew room in all its orderly dis¬ order remain for many a year to bring back nostalgic memories to that member who now turns it over to his successor, filled as it is wiih the smell of grease paint and the recol¬ lections of thrill packed first nights and funny incidents that happen only in the glamorous precinct behind the curtain.

Skerlong In the stillness of the darkened auditorium, with the orchestra lights glowing softly, the or¬ chestra, under the direction of Mr. Ruthart, was playing the lyrical and flashing strains of the CHRISTMAS FANTASY. At the conclusion of the piece, the orchestra began to play their new Christmas selection GESU BAMBINO. Then with the assistance of our able concert- master, Ladi Stanisha, the most beautiful and never to be forgotten Ave Maria” was pre¬ sented. The program was concluded with the Halleluia Chorus” performed by the combined chorus and orchestra. This event, the Christ¬ mas Program, was one of the outstanding achievements of the first semester. The orchestra, this year, has been placed in decidedly different conditions. Rehearsals have been held during activities period in the morning instead of the last period in the after¬ noon. The string section for the orchestra, although not large, has held its own against the greater number of brass. The woodwinds also have been fairly well represented. The organization was composed of capable players who contributed much of their time and energy in preparing selections for performance. Gleeman — 54 TlftodsUiri. yyiuMc. After we organized, Teach brought out lots of new music, including the music of the famous broadway show OKLAHOMA, and the SENTIMENTAL RHAPSODY for piano and orchestra in which Elma Lou Zeigler played the solo piano part. The orchestra then tried its hand at playing a South American number of sporadic, and rhythmic nature, the BOLERO RITMICO. From this we can se that the orches¬ tra has a wide repertoire. The first performance of the orchestra came in December, when they played for the Senior play. Upon returning to school after the Christ¬ mas vacation, they began to prepare for a pro¬ gram at Boggs and Buhls. Here they played some of their new numbers, as well as the fam¬ iliar POET AND PEASANT OVERTURE, which displayed their capabilities. In March the orchestra made a trip to Avalon, where they gave a musical exchange assembly. The orchestra has added a great deal to the assembly programs by providing the open¬ ing and closing exercises. An assembly pro¬ gram was prepared entirely by the orchestra in which the modern compositions they had been studying were presented. At this time, plans were already in progress for a spring concert which would consist of the lighter type of music, since it seems to have a greater ap¬ peal to the American audience. Although the orchestra this year has not given as many performances as it has in pre¬ vious years, it has delved and worked into a wide range of modern music. The character of this music is of a lighter and more colorful nature, whose main characteristics are beau¬ tiful and appealing American melodies. This type of music is a grand experience for every orchestra member because of its cut-up rhythms and syncopation. The organization is better suited to this type of music than to the music of the masters. However, the orchestra has re¬ tained its ability to perform a few works of the masters. As can be seen, the orchestra has played a vital part in the school life of Bellevue High. In this world of machines there must be a time for arts of which music plays the greatest part. The members of the orchestra have en¬ joyed adventures into music of the modern realm.

Gleeman — 57 c txbhWu Qlub The library has had its face lifted. The drab walls are now a lovely torquoise and the ceiling has been painted cream to further dress and lighten up the room. An archway leads into the new annex (formerly the cloakroom) which has added much needed seating and shelving space and takes away some of that life in a salad-bowl feeling. In March a new desk and shelving for both rooms were installed. Slanting magazine shelves and a section for our daily newspapers will be another innovation. The library offers many services to the school. The freshies learn the Dewey Decimal System at the very beginning of their high school careers. From then on, they are on their own and the large and varied selections of books are at their disposal. How many of you knew that we have close to 5,700 books in the library? Volunteer assistants from seniors down to wee freshies, giving up their study halls and some time after school, help with the many tasks such as reminding forgetful students that their books are overdue, filing reserves, and sending out call slips when money is due. In this way, they earn the eternal gratitude of Miss Studer. It is an enjoyable opportunity to learn to know fellow students, to become better acquainted with books, and increase one's ex¬ perience of some office practices. Knowledge of the ABC's is very important when one is a library assistant. Everything from the cata¬ logue cards and books on the shelves, to the daily circulation is in alphabetical order. Once in a while, one sees a girl or boy poised before the catalogue muttering to himself, as he puz¬ zles over the sequence of letters of his familiar ABC's. Students must have a good average in their studies to become library assistants and main¬ tain high grades to continue as helpers through¬ out the year. Standing — R. Klein, K. Ripley, H. Wadlow, M.

Gleeman — 58 This year's Public Speaking Club, although late starting, soon became one of the most active organizations in the school. The club was sponsored by Miss Riblett, who advised and guided both the officers and members. October, organization month, saw the elec¬ tion of the officers, Suzanne Eckert, president, and Ruth McKnight, secretary. Plans for the year were drawn up whereby each senior mem¬ ber was either a chairman or co-chairman of each meeting. Underclassmen were put on at least one committee. This plan provided for an active membership. In November, Rita McDonald and Pat Don- aghey led an informal enthusiastic debate on The China Problem. December and January meetings were led by the play committee chairman, Jeanne John¬ ston. Her committee; Harry Constandy, Mary Dewar, and William Hall, gave several play reviews at the meeting. FLATTERING WORD, a play by George Kelley, was chosen by vote of the entire club as the play for their assembly. February and March were the busiest months. In February, try-outs were held for the play. Don Pittard, Barbara Davis, Harry Constandy, Rita McDonald, and Jeanne John¬ ston were selected for the cast. In March the final production was given in our assembly. Suzanne Eckert A successful P. A. Dance was sponsored by the Public Speaking Club. For this dance, Lulu Stillwagon headed the advertising committee and Louis Stanisha headed the business com¬ mittee. The remainder of the year brought more discussions on world problems. Mary Toye and Ann McKee led the April debate and the May meeting was led by June Brown and Hilda Moser. The month of June brought the end of a year bright with good times and increased knowledge. Both officers and members feel well satisfied with the strides made by the club this year. Standing — N. Weaver, A. McKee, J. Brown, L. Stillwagon, W. Hall, L. Stanisha, M. Wetzel, M. Toye, R.

Under the capable direction of Mr Ruth- art, this musical group was organized as quick¬ ly as possible so that they might be at their best for the first football game. Snappy marches were a feature of each pep meeting, held before the games. During the game, as the band performed on the field and finished their performance in the formation of the Belle¬ vue B , both students and football players re¬ ceived renewed spirit and energy. In addition this group participated in vari¬ ous activities outside of school. In October, they stole the show at the North Borough's Hal¬ lowe'en parade. Each member dressed as a hobo with tattered clothes and blackened faces. To add to the fun, the high-stepping drum ma¬ jorettes, June Brown, Ruth Reeb, Muriel Ripley, Susie Baxley, and Sara MacMurray, appeared in ridiculous costumes and pigtails and carried baseball bats as batons. Their next performance was in December, when they participated in the North Side Christ¬ mas Parade. During the year, district men leaving for the armed forces, received a friendly send-off from the band. This year's successful season was closed in May by the Memorial Day Parade. Row 1 — J. Brown.

At The Bellevue High School Grid squad hung up a record in 1944, marred only by the defeat on a rainy afternoon by North Catholic — a school far superior to ours in manpower. One must travel well back into the archives to find an equal or better record in the school's history. Perhaps the most amazing thing about the fine season was the lack of experienced backs which Coach Zundel faced as he started prac¬ tice drill in early September. The line had quite a bit of experience and this fact was later proved as they bolstered both offense and de¬ fense. The T formation was introduced and the light, but speedy backfield was a natural for it. Skeptics, however, insisted that the backs wouldn't know what to do with the ball. Throughout the practice days, all the boys dis¬ played enthusiasm to play and eagerness to win. The opener with Sewickley would decide just how good the team could be. In our prac¬ tice game with Allegheny, played on Monu¬ ment Hill, Bellevue slightly edged the North- siders. Wyatt, •wrner, Albright, T.

Picture a fine running attack by Albright, Hutchinson, and Wyatt; coupled with a terrific passing attack from Dugan to Ackerman and Horner; add all around defensive play sparked by Berg, Stewart, and Dunbar and you see why Bellevue amassed 138 points in four games!

Avalon gave us a stiff bottle on their gridiron, and we salvaged a Q-Q tie. We then rang down the curtain by trouncing the hapless antelopes from Avon- worth 37-6. Outstanding features of the season were the 24 point over average per game, Ackerman's 61 points, followed closely by Hor¬ ner with 55, and also Dugans 17 touchdown passes. Ackerman was named on the second team all W.P.I.A.L., while Horner was given honorable mention. Yes, the Bellevue High 1944 Grid Squad will long be remembered for its outstanding showing.

The time was approaching when the boys of the school started to get that anxious feeling of getting acquainted with the basketball once more. Basketball season also meant to get in training and to stay there. Early to bed, a limited diet, constant practice, and fewer late dates were included in training. When the familiar list appeared on the bulletin board, the boys crowded around to see who would be asked to come out. A few days later, practice and elimination began in earnest. Before long the most skillful were chosen, and the able substitutes were kept on for those moments in the game when one of the big six” needed a rest or some help¬ ful advice from the coach. Albright, Dugan, Ackerman, Horner, Wetzel, and Pearson began to smooth up the rough edges. They proved their work was worth the time as they clashed with Carnegie on the latter's floor and topped them by 19 points. Their next four games were also non-league; our boys spilled Oliver and Aspinwall, edged a victory by one point over Perry, and lost to Dormont, 31-34. Class B competition started as we tack¬ led Leetsdale, winning by a scant point again. The team pleased our loyal B.H.S. rooters when they defeated the Troy Hill Boys. West View and Sewickley were not much of a match for our smooth offensive plays. Avonworth, not expecting defeat, was surprised when we pulled ahead on the Avonworth court and won 26-23. We'll now pause a moment to breeze over the next two games, Avalon and Shadyside, which we lost. After taking Leetsdale again, the Belle¬ vue quintet bowed to North Catholic, how¬ ever, not without a good fight. It looked like revenge when we toppled Edgewood, and Albright, a team sparkplug with four years of varsity ball to his credit, provided the en¬ tertainment with his scoring ability. Return engagements with West View, Sewickley, and Avonworth added three more victories to the score card. Our bulldogs really looked good to us since they had come all the way through the season with only one league de¬ feat.

The 23 of February and our final tilt with the adjacent panthers, we awaited with hopeful eyes as a red and black letter day. Then it came; it was Tues¬ day. That night the Avalon stadium was packed even before the reserve game started, and a wild crowd of loyal students were en¬ thusiastically cheering for their respective alma maters. The reserve game showed un¬ usual competition and spirit. The second half proved the junior Bulldogs' Waterloo when they lost by a single tally. Even then, more anxious spectators were pouring into the already-filled gymnasium. Amid a roar of applause of both good and bad nature, the rival teams descended onto the court for their preliminary practice. The well constructed court made a ceiling un¬ limited possible and the bulldogs tried to get used to its vastness after shooting under our low ceiling. The whistle blew, the teams took their places on the sideline, and the captains and referees met in mid-court to dis¬ cuss ground rules. The starting horn blew and the battle was on. Horner and Wetzel initiated the Coach Zundel (standing) 1st Row — S. Ansbach, D. Thomas, E. Besser, R. Bierworth 2nd Row — R. Royston, D. Johnston, K. Liedke, J. Blayney , D.

In the third quarter Ackerman fed Albright some accurate passes under the hoop which proved a scoring combination. Fourth quarter and Avalon was then leading 20 to 19. Even Dugan's defensive ability and Pearson's rebound catches couldn't match the long field goal which the Panther's were featuring. The ending gun announced a final show as sportsmanlike as if we had won. Throughout the season's schedule the team played hard in a clean, skillful style and showed sportsmanship everywhere they appeared. There's no excuses to be made because they played their best at all times, and we of the Class of '45 are grateful for their wonderful showing and commendable record. Credit also goes to Mr. Zundel and his able assistants for their fine job. All these things have gone together to make basketball '44-'45 something to remember. Gleeman — 70 R mjwsl $qucuL Compared with previous years, Mr. Shope had a small number of boys compet¬ ing for positions on the reserve basketball team. However, when the team was thinned out and practice begun, an unusually large squad remained. After many days of prac¬ tice the reserves invaded the Dormont gym. Despite the large floor and the half moon banking boards, the boys came through with an 18 to 3 victory. 'In another non-league clash the bulldogs were defeated by North Catholic 34-22. This defeat only caused the boys to practice with renewed effort. The team then coasted through the next three league games defeating West View, Sewick- ley, and Avonworth. Their winning streak stopped the following week when Avalon swamped them by ten points. Throughout the rest of the season the boys tried to pre¬ pare themselves for the return game with their Avalon rivals. When the big dqy arrived, they found themselves facing the Avalon second string varsity instead of the reserves. By their aggressiveness, the local five led the ballgame at the quarter but at half time they trailed by a few points. When the final whistle blew, the bulldogs were beaten 38-37. Out of the thirteen games the reserves came through with nine victories. The ball handling of Tom Pritchard, well timed shots of Rheam and North, Longabaugh's rebound ability, the scrappiness of Straw and Oehm- ler, and the coaching ability of Mr. Shope made these victories possible.

Enthusiasm greeted this different or¬ ganization which offered the girls a chance to learn to bowl, and play bas¬ ketball and badminton. Two other of the popular features were archery and pingpong. Under the able leadership of man¬ agers, Suzanne Eckert and Mary Toye, bowling was started at the Y The girls went to bowl on Mondays and Tuesdays for three weeks in order to establish their average scores. After this, teams were formed placing the bowlers of the same skill together. In this way each girl on the team could help the others and at the same time increase her own ability. The ''lady bowlers , also, learned to set up pins on one of the days when the pin boys were not there. Mushball was organized only for a short time by Josephine Zawojski and Ruth Brush. Our long winter kept this group from functioning, but they came out in full force in the spring. We saw many Babe Ruths and Joe Dimaggios popping up in this group. After school on Tuesdays and Fri¬ days the gym was invaded by our Sports Club basketball stars. June Brown and Rita Mae McDonald helped many of the girls, who had only been spectators before, develop their own skill. After the organization of the group, each class brought forth a team and intra-mural games were played. Jean Wilhelmy organized an out¬ standing group of pingpong players. This part of the Sports Club met in the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays dur¬ ing activities period. Although this per¬ iod seemed to be very early in the morning, the girls were there with alert minds behind their flashing paddles. Managers — J. Brown, R. McDonald, R. Breen, J.

McKee Ping-pong Archery Gleeman — 72 mtsASAt JLTL ApOiiA Watch out or you'll be hit by the birdie,” was the cry to anyone daring to cross the gym floor on the days when the badminton fiends took over. The floor was divided into many parts, and groups of two or four sent spiralling birdies back and forth. After a few weeks the girls put up the net and prac¬ ticed on the various techniques and rules of the game. In the fall, during gym classes, modern Robin Hoods tried out the new archery equipment. We found that there was much talent for this sport in Bellevue High School. There were even a few girls who could shoot the entire one hundred yard length of the field. Later on, the archery section of the club, headed by Ann McKee and Ruth Breen began to learn the more technical points of the sport. The girls were scheduled to use the equipment on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday of each week. The cold weather kept them in during the winter months, but they were out again in the spring with renewed vim, vigor, and vitality. Miss Hoskinson, our sponsor, and the managers were pleased with the large turnout for the club. For the first time in several years the girls in the high school showed great interest in girls' athletics. Not only did the sports teach them to be light on their feet” and have a clear, quick mind coupled with coordination, but also it gave them a few lessons in good-sportsmanship and self-control. In the world at the present time, nothing is more necessary than an organization for girls such as we have in the Girls' Sports Club. Bowling Basketball Badminton li ALfd M • 4 1 l F 1 i rlrp t ’’lit - l Gleeman — 73 (RswnwtL Stepping from the train onto the hallowed ground of Bellevue for the first time in ten years, you can imagine the excitement I was experi¬ encing at the thought of a class reunion. Natur¬ ally during those years I had often wondered about my classmates and just what places they had taken in the world. The first person to greet me was station master Lou Hencz and one of the railroad officials Joseph Kruk. They were both tal king to me at the same time when Bill Brustle drove up in his taxi, which I imme¬ diately engaged. Settling back, I prepared myself for the riotous conversation that fol¬ lowed. The trip from the station to the hotel was quite short, so our conversation came to an abrupt ending as doorman Don Shoemaker, dressed in his regal uniform, opened the cab door in front of Berg's Hotel, a new and beau¬ tiful structure erected directly across from Belle¬ vue High School. As I gaily sauntered through the lobby, I saw Herb Grigsby, now a pompous businessman, leaving the elevator in a rush of importance. Looking about the room, I noticed at one table the two now prominent neurolo¬ gist Doctors Bob Schneider and Rita Mae Mc¬ Donald evidently discussing the latest treat¬ ment of Dementia Praecox. At another table near the door I saw Bob Egger, helicopter sales¬ man, and automobile mechanic Harold Mc¬ Cloud probably talking about the new jet pro¬ pulsion for automobiles. Just then the hotel's secretary, Shirley Homan, greeted me and took me into George Berg's office. After recounting old times I decided to visit Mademoiselle Mary Cline's beauty salon before going to my room. Imagine my surprise to see the two socialites, Joan Witt and Suzanne Eckert, immerging from the same salon. I learned that Bellevue was staging quite an entertainment in the newly re¬ modeled Linden Theater in honor of our class reunion that evening. Elma Lou Zeigler, the noted pianist, and Win Miller, the versatile trumpeteer, were to feature the music of our famed composer, Bill Skerlong. The program was also to include Mae Treher, vocalist for Mary Rice's orchestra; Ruth Welsh, metropoli¬ tan opera star; and Bellevue's own feminine version of the Mills Brothers, Dolores Timpson, Bernice Horne, and Rosemary Robinson, ac¬ companied by Julia Jackson. If Ginger McAtee and J. P. Morgan, sensational dance team, could take time from Janet Neesham's new Broadway musical, they, too, would put in an appearance. That night at the concert there were many celebrities crowding the lobby. Among them were dress designer Abby Clark and fashion illustrator Shirley Meals talking to engineer Louis Stanisha and cartoonist Bob Horner. As I turned to talk to the two dramatists, Verna Hunter and June Brown, I saw radio's funniest comedy team, Herky Thomas and Jack Blay- ney, with their gag writer, Olive Thomas. The houselights' dimming started the mad dash for seats. In the box seat next to mine, I overheard Jean Freese and Helen Alloways, still the inseparables, talking to ESQUIRES' fav¬ orite model, Karl Ackerman, about the new modernistic Linden. My attention was attracted to the stage when Louis Irvin started the place jumping with a little solid sending on the piano. Of course no entertainment is quite complete without a speech, so in order not to disappoint the audience, manager Jim DeRolf introduced salesman Don Dunbar amid thundering ap¬ plause. During the intermission every one was talking about the stage setting which had been painted and designed beautifully by Carol Vlahakis and June Purvis. Hat check girl, pe¬ tite Snookie Bennett, was paging Ambassador Roy Wetzel to come for his dog who seemed to be causing a disturbance in the check room. Introducing the second act were the three chords, Ruth McKnight, Pat Donaghey, and Ellie Dwyer, advertising Janet Lampe's non-run leg make-up. After the delightful concert, the crowd started for the Bellevue Chocolate Shop as usual. This incident was quite similar to that of ten years ago except for a few changes such as Harold Brown's meeting us at the door as the new owner. Looking around the old familiar place, I stopped at one of the booths to talk to Tom Stewart, now heavyweight champion of the world; all American Don Albright; and two of Bellevue's journalists, Don Meister and Lou Springer. At another booth was Ruth Reeb, keeping reporter Ruth Breen and Powers' models, Jean Johnston and Ruth Harbison, in suspense as she related some of the incidents iiL 1955 from her latest novel THE LIFE AND LOVES OF Charles Mackey. Taking in all this gaiety with his camera was Bob Berger and his able assist¬ ant Ruth Bast. Baroness Jane Helt invited us all to come to her new villa built by Jim Concelman. As a perfect ending for the day we all piled into the cars and started the drive out to her home. In my car imitator Donna McLaughlin kept us all amused with her imitations of Ted Dugan, sports writer; Doris McRoberts, radio columnist; Elmer Bierwirth, historian; and Sam Ansbach, song stylist. We were so interested that we didn't real¬ ize that we were pulling up in front of an im¬ mense home. Receiving the guests with the hostess was none other than diplomat Jim Bald. The first group we saw was Alderman Tom Loch and Mary Link, the new owner of Dravo Corporation, having a heated discussion as to whether Carol Chambers or Buzzy Wills should be our new president. Fire Chief PeeWee Carlin was seeing that the argument did not get out of control. Then of course there was Josephine Zawojski, an archery sportswoman, confabing with inventors, Betty Chappell and Lois Hay- ball, about their newest invention of an auto¬ matic toe nail polisher to be used while your finger nails are drying. Hilda Moser and Joan Campbell held us in amazement with their tales of their latest expedition to Mars. Also in this group were Dot Baumann, Hollywood's costume designer, and magician Joe Hutchinson with his capable and attractive assistant, Doris Lou Bennett. Then the conversation turned to Dwight Johnston's new television equipment for telephones. At this time, our attention was attracted to dramatic critic Jean Himmelman, who was giv¬ ing her version of Agnes McKown's new movie Looking At Your Baby Blue Eyes, feat¬ uring Joseph Schoenig, the favorite cowboy star and his Western Gal Clementine por¬ trayed by Joan Pickens. She was particularly impressed by the singing of the title by the Neu- mar sisters Joyce and Betty. As I moved away from this circle to see the rest of the villa, I passed Mary Toye and Ann McKee trying desperately to persuade F. B. I. agent Bob Campbell that their latest clue con¬ cerning the lost jewels of heiress Kathleen Ripley was based on sound facts. While viewing the scene of Bellevue from the terrace with Miss America of 1945, Ruth Rheam, the stillness of the night was broken as control man Hal Wadlow and harpist Lois Chadderton argued about some intricate sound wave. As the air grew chilly, I wandered back to the dance floor where I heard druggist Doris Mueller expounding her new theory concern¬ ing plastics. We had no sooner exchanged greetings when Mary Louise Fennell, president of Mary Mulqueen's department store and Jean Leckenby, who is buyer for the Fur Department, came up to us. We recalled the rivalry that used to exist between Avalon and Bellevue and were not surprised that it still existed. Just then Rose Hannon and Ann Perry, cadet nurses just returned from overseas, were telling of their experience of meeting foreign correspondent Don Rankin in France. This lovely party started to break up when Marilyn Seidenstricker, Lovelorn Editor of the Suburban Life regretfully made her adieux in order to meet her paper's deadline. With her went financial advisor Betty Reynolds and Bertha Wyland, Bellevue High School's Dean of Girls. In a short while we all decided to leave and on the way back to the hotel I sat beside America's foremost beauty consultant Rose Costa, who told me of her many interviews with prominent women of the world two of whom were poetess, Betty Wolcott, and Congress- woman Jean Perrett. Back at my hotel, I gazed from the window onto the campus of Bellevue High and wan¬ dered in memory back to the happy days I had spent there and realized more fully what a truly splendid class had been graduated in the year 1945. Gleeman — 75 T Owl SdwuL (IJjuVl September 6 — Alas, the long awaited day is upon us. 8 — After much anticipation our first assembly took place, at which time we met our new superintendent, Dr. Schlegel. 12 — After much confusion in the halls as to the destination of each student, many discovered that they had spent half the period in the wrong class before schedules were finally straightened out. 13 — Big practice game with St. Justine — they never showed up. 21 — Classes are full of croaking voices as a result of our first pep meeting. 22' — It looks as if our team is on the ball this year.

Can it be a dance? 10 — Last football game of the season with Avonworth — 37-6. Big foot¬ ball dance, floor show, door prize, and music by big name bands. Billy Dugan is our hero for the evening because of his 92 yard dash for a touchdown. 14 — If you hear some thunderous exclamation coming from the vicinity of the auditorium, don't be frightened. It's just Mr. Burrell rehearsing the senior play. 21 — Thanksgiving vacation. December 7- — We started off 'basketball season right by beating Oliver — 29-24. 9 — The seniors cave their version of Till Further Orders” in one of the most successful plays Bellevue High School has ever produced. 12-13 — Big snow.

The holiday season is started with a bang at the Christmas Dance. Gleeman - — 76 ; 1 t OlASL OJuL OtksAWLASL January 2 — Back from the holidays come all the kids, each sporting something new.

An executor must be an expert because estate settlement is a difficult, complicated job — one with many stumbling blocks and pitfalls for the unwary. There are over thirty-two separate steps to be com¬ pleted in the settlement of an estate. Carelessness, inexperience or lack of skill in handling any of these details might result in loss, confusion an d delay.
