It means cheering ourselves hoarse at basketball and football games; it means going to Hi-Y dinners and G.

H. S. represent an honor given only to outstanding students of the junior and senior class. Today, as in the past, the National Honor Society is one of the few organizations in the school that has a limited membership. Bellevue High School was granted its own society on May 12, 1926. The national charter stated that fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class ranking in the upper third of their class could be selected for the faculty to consider as eligible members. The qualifications needed for membership in the organization include leadership, scholar¬ ship, character, and service. Students chosen for this group are those who not only excel in cer¬ tain fields, but are active in all phases of high school life. The faculty weighs these qualifica¬ tions and is the deciding voice as to member¬ ship. Until this year the group has been strictly an honorary society with no activities, meetings, or duties. This year, however, the five per cent who were chosen from the junior class last year took it upon themselves to make the organiza¬ tion active. First a chairman and secretary were elected. Schools were then assigned to the mem¬ bers who inquired about the duties the National Honor Society held in these other groups. After the Christmas holidays five students were respon¬ sible for holding the very enlightening college program in which the upperclassmen met with the alumni now attending various colleges. The object of this meeting was to give the upper¬ classmen a better understanding of the require¬ ments, studies, and problems that they would meet in their coming college years. The meeting was received eagerly and was a success in every way. This year the members of the N. H. S. have tried to bring the society into an active leader¬ ship organization. It is our hope that in future years the N. H. S. will be made stronger and a more outstanding organization in the high school. Standing Left to Right: S. Dixon, R. Slosser, J. Armstrong, P.

Student Council The Student Council of Bellevue High School was organized the first week of school in order to launch the activities program immedi¬ ately. By holding meetings once a month, the Student Council was one basic organization with an object of developing school spirit, fellowship, initiative, and cooperation in the school. The council represented the student body in all school projects and aided general organizations, pro¬ moting in all ways the best interest of the school and the student. The membership of the council consisted of each president, home room representatives, and one member of each recognized school organiza¬ tion. A member of new organizations may be ad¬ mitted to the membership with the approval of the council and faculty adviser. Members of the council must obtain and keep a good scholarship record and attitude to participate in council meet¬ ings. They must have the approval of the coun¬ cil and faculty advisers before they can repre¬ sent an organization or home room of the school. Election of the council officers was held at the first meeting, resulting as follows: Dick Barr, president; Phil Pearson, vice president; Suzanne Bichard, secretary; and Ted Carey, treasurer. The president of the Student Council chose mem¬ bers from the council to form three committees of the Student Council. First, the executive com¬ mittee of the council was organized to get the opinions and decisions of the students on detailed business before presenting it to the council. Mem¬ bership of the executive committee consisted of all class presidents and seven council represen¬ tatives. The activities committee planned a school calendar of all social events and aided in school affairs and dances. The assembly com¬ mittee slated many of the school assemblies and took charge of leading devotions in assembly pro¬ grams. The council asked for volunteers from the student body to aid on various committees. Many of the volunteers formed the committee which planned the Vocational Night. Thirty-nine voca¬ tional representatives visited our school to ad¬ vise the students on various careers. This Voca¬ tional Night was related to the College Night last year sponsored by the Avalon and Bellevue High School Student Councils. The main purpose this year was to give ad¬ vice on activities and to introduce new ideas and programs for the benefit of the entire student body. The council supported the school and did a great job of serving the school through student government. 41 j Left Wagoner Miss Ley; M. Stewa Mentis, 1 Claijk, K zovtr, J. S. ,Richa r T Kee J.

We had individual class meetings during the winter and in the spring we said good-bye to the seniors at the senior banquet. Our successful programs this year were aided by our advisers — Miss Wagoner, Miss Leyda, and Miss Alston; assisting these were the “Y” secre¬ taries — Miss Scott, Mrs. Core, and Miss Wright.

Miller The Bellevue High School Hi-Y Club began its year in September with its popular new lead¬ er, Mr. William Arthur. Assisting “Bill” in the management of the club were Dick Barr, presi¬ dent; Glenn Grable, vice president; Ed Ruehl, secretary; and Don Klages, treasurer. The offi¬ cers attended Laurel Ridge Camp at Somerset for their training, and representatives were sent to the Older Boys’ Conference at Beaver Falls. The activities this year were varied and num¬ erous. A dance was held in November at the Y. M. C. A. which all the North Boroughs Hi-Y clubs attended. There the Queen of North Bor¬ oughs was crowned and football awards were presented. This was the first dance of its type. Other activities were our traditional Date Night celebrated by a dinner dance also held at the Y. M. C. A., a swimming party and our usual Father and Son Banquet, Mothers’ Night and Faculty Night. At our weekly meetings, instead of the usual talks, the Hi-Y members held discussions con¬ cerning character building. “Bill” gave us some inspiring talks. Several other speakers also gave us very interesting messages. This year “Bill” has gotten off to a very fine start, introducing many new ideas, leaving a fine impression with the fellows. Under his capable leadership the efforts of the Hi-Y members have been rewarded by a profitable and enjoyable year. 43 f The Gleeman The Gleeman of “47” represents the time, talents, and ideas of a hard-working staff. Under the supervision of Ruth Slosser, our competent editor, the literary division laid the plans which we woidd follow in the coming school year. Pen¬ cils, paper, and products of our imagination com¬ bined slowly to form the layout. Bob Witt, our artist, brought our ideas to life with his cartoons, and the first dummy became a reality. The business department began its difficult task of financing the steadily rising budget. Through the salesmanship of Jack Armstrong, Jim Hoobler, Dorothy Wittmer, Ruth Cray, Jim Toye, Bob Anderson, Bill Means, and Jack Clark, ads and money began pouring in. Subscription sales mounted as a direct result of the coopera¬ tion of the senior class and the support of the en¬ tire school. Much credit should be given Mr. Ellenberger for his advice to the staff and his handling of financial problems made more diffi¬ cult this year by post-war conditions. Photography was the next main problem of the literary staff. We engaged the Colao Studios again this year because of their outstanding work on last year’s Gleeman. Photo-day was a big event with lots of excitement and relaxation for the students, but it was a day of hard work for the staff members, who were kept busy arranging group pictures, taking names, and keeping things moving smoothly. The return of the pictures filled in the empty spaces in the layout and every¬ one’s attention turned to the next major step, write-ups. Leaders of the various activities were chosen to write up the year’s program of their particular groups. Senior write-ups were handled by Don Gust and Audrey Evans. Ted Carey, sports edi¬ tor, with the assistance of Jim Rheam, arranged the athletic department of our book. As the write-ups began to come in, Room 5 was the scene of great activity seventh period every day. Shirley Dixon and Phil Pearson, the literary edi- « tors, were kept busy correcting, rewriting, and putting the finishing touches on the various articles. After the final drafts were completed, our faithful typists, Jane Means, Jane Dolan, and Sally McGinnis prepared the final copies for the printer. 4 As the deadline drew nearer, the last proot- reading was begun by the staff, including Carol Hinds and Marilyn Stewart, the prospective edi¬ tors of next year’s annual. Giving the final check¬ up was our sponsor, Miss Riblett, who has helped us with our various problems since September. At last every comma was satisfactorily put in, and the book was “put to bed”. As we settled down to wait eagerly for the Gleeman, everyone hoped that the students of Bellevue High School would find it a pleasant and memorable record of the year 1947.

Miller, D. Osborne The Activities Committee The Activities Committee was organized last year as a branch of the Bellevue High School Stu¬ dent Council. With the cooperation of Miss Vir¬ ginia Tay lor and Mr. Robert Ruthart, once again the committee proved successful in every way this year. The committee consisted of only five hard working students. Three were seniors: Audrey Evans, chairman, Ted Carey, and Bob Miller; the two juniors, Helen Kevan and Donald Osborne. The committee’s main task of nineteen forty- six and seven was to arrange the social calendar for the entire year so as to have a complete and successful social program. The calendar was posted on the bulletin boards in each home room so that all the students could know what social events were planned. The dates included on the calendar were for dances, athletic games, special meetings, and events which were to be held in the auditorium and the gymnasium. The first social affair the committee spon¬ sored was the Welcome Freshmen dance held on October 5, 1946, in the gymnasium. The dance honored all new freshies and welcomed them into Bellevue High School. The gym was filled with happy students, making the dance success¬ ful and profitable. The next dance was the well known annual football dance, called the “Kick Off”. Its decor¬ ations portrayed phases of a football game. The dance was planned to make enough money for nine football sweaters to be presented to all sen¬ ior members of the football team. The main attraction of the evening was a floor show of stu¬ dent talent with Mr. Ostrander as master of cere¬ monies. The team sang some of their favorite locker-room songs to conclude the program. The committee aided other groups in planning suc¬ cessful social events which would be different and attract a large attendance. The Activities Committee had enjoyment working together. It solved many problems in¬ volved in making school events a success by arranging a school calendar and giving its advice wherever it was needed. 46 The Assembly Committee The Assembly Committee is a part of Stu¬ dent Council. This year’s sponsors were Miss Shumaker, Miss Rowley, Mr. Burrell, and Mr. Gilliland. The student representatives were Donald Gust, chairman, Dick Skerlong, Carol Hinds, Marilyn Stewart, Marilyn Gamble, Bill Oehmler, and Carol Mattner. We have tried to present a varietv of assem¬ blies this year. Most of the programs originate in one of the school activities or departments. This year the music department presented a very fine Christmas program. In February and in May, the combined chorus and orchestra again presented parts of their concerts. On the dram¬ atic side, Mr. Burrell with members of the senior and junior classes presented parts of their res¬ pective plays. The social studies department presented a combined radio broadcast with the Avalon senior class on “What policies should we pursue in order to prevent disastrous infla¬ tion?” A program from the Federal Bureau of Investigation was also presented by this depart¬ ment. At Thanksgiving, the Hi-Y Club had Dr. Sandberg of the Methodist Church deliver the message, and at Easter the Girl Reserves pre¬ sented an excellent program. The commercial department had a representative from the Bell Telephone Company explain the operation of the telephone system. The assembly committee then entertained with its own program, “The Joy of Radio”. The sound crew presented a full length movie. The programs originating outside the student body were entertaining and educational. Mr. N. R. Castillo of the Pennsylvania Game Commission discussed “Forest Conservation;” Mr. C. F. Ackenheil of the Pittsburgh Press pre¬ sented a program, “The Other Side of Pitts¬ burgh”; William Cope had us fairly rolling in the aisles with his witty songs and characterizations; and the brilliant artist, Garnet Hazard kept our eyes on the canvas as he developed beautiful pic¬ tures with accuracy and skill. Then the final assembly, the Senior Farewell, left us with many pleasant memories — to the seniors a little bit of sorrow, but to the underclassmen a feeling of pride and a hope for their tomorrow.

Margaret Miller, president, addresses the members of the Public Speaking Club. Public Speaking Club We, the members of the Public Speaking Club, feel that we have had a suc¬ cessful year. The first thing accomplished was the organization of a good pro¬ gram for the entire year. In September we began our yearly campaign for new members with thirty-five new students joining us. Our October meeting was spent choosing a new cabinet to carry us through the coming months. Margaret Miller was elected president; Dick Skerlong, vice president; Joanne Keir, secretary; Dorothy Kunkle, devotions chairman and typist; and Marilyn Wetzel, publicity and program chairman. November brought about some changes in our constitution, and we learned more about what our club represented. A Christmas party, which included a skit written by Jean Anderson, many clever games, and refreshments filled our December meeting with joy and good cheer. We started the New Year right by learning many important facts on public speaking which were presented to us by Dr. James Barnett, pastor of the Bellevue Presbyterian Church. In February, simple two minute explanatory talks gave us experience in speaking before a group. Finding out our mistakes made the March meeting an exceptionally interesting one. April brought with it a chance to improve our¬ selves when we gave our extemporaneous talks with the public address system. An organization meeting in May brought to an end our business meetings for the year. A motion picture, “The Making of a Magazine”, made the Public Speaking assembly one of the best of the year. Another high point was our annual picnic. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself and we all felt that it made a good ending for the year. We, the Public Speaking Club, feel, in considering everything, that we have accomplished what we set out to do. We want to thank our sponsor, Miss Ohle, for all the help she has given us during the many months that have passed. 48 Library Staff Last year when the library student staff left for summer vacation, the library was packed and ready to be moved to its new location on the second floor where two rooms would be remodeled, a library office and seminar room built, and other improvements made. However, due to government building regulations, the students returned to the same old library, just as it had been the year before. This was a great disappointment to Miss Studer and to the staff, but that has not hindered them from working hard this year in the library, and we still have hopes that next year our dreams of a beautiful new room will be fulfilled. The library staff is made up of a group of students who work in the library for the enjoyment and the experience that they get out of it. Some give as many as ten periods a week and some just one, but no matter how many periods, then- work is very much appreciated because of our steadily growing library of over six thousand books and magazines. There are many behind-the-scene jobs that take time and aren’t noticed but are necessary to keep the librarv in good running order. Shelving and stamping books, filing catalog cards, and writing overdue notices to the long list of forgetful pupils each day, are just a few of the many tasks that the staff helps to perform. Work at the library desk gives staff members a chance to become acquainted with all the students of the high school and learn something of the psychology of handling people. Helping in the library now may possibly be the beginning of a career for the people who are lucky enough to acquire the experience while still in high school. Two girls who have worked under Miss Studer during her ten years here in our library are now librarians in other high schools of our country. Standing around desk — Miss Studer, J. Means, A. Cuda, P. Kerr, H. Kevan, R. Baret, M. L. Martin, V. McDonald, R. Walters. Standing in rear — H. Hanna, J. Schlarp, C. Gates, R. Hodil, J. Hall, A. Tickerhoof, W. Hall. 49 Band and Majorettes The B. H. S. band and drum majorettes suc¬ ceeded this year in raising their high standard of musical performance. When not confronted with problems presented by weather and trans¬ portation, they appeared to provide entertain¬ ment and encourage school spirit by their march¬ ing and playing at our football games. The en¬ thusiasm shown by the students for the pieces they played and their original band formations rewarded the band members for their long hours of practice. The band disbanded after performing at football games, but organized again to appear in the May concert and march in the Memorial Day parade. To enlarge the band, Mr. Ostrander in¬ cluded junior high students in its membership. The colorful majorettes, stepping high in front of the band, added the final touch. Their new uniforms contributed much to their sparkle and school spirit. But there are many things that add up to the making of a good majorette. The serious side includes long hours of practicing, caring for the band library, and always searching for new ideas and routines. Our majorettes this year, headed by Mary Lou Baxley, included Annabel Hoover, Margaret Miller, Cordelia Anderson, Lois Wilson, and Joan and Lois Stamm. The majorettes and the band, under the fine direction of Mr. Ostrander and the officers of the band — Ed Koleski, president; Walter Volbrecht, vice president; Jack Clark, treasurer; and Mar¬ garet Miller, secretary — have made a fine show¬ ing for our school. 50 Orchestra “Practice, practice, practice” has been the motto of the orchestra this year. It has meant hard work, but the results have been more than satisfactory to both the orchestra members them¬ selves and the audiences which have packed the auditorium to hear their concerts. Every morning sounds proceed from the auditorium where eager musicians labor to com¬ bine their parts to form the music for school activities. Their first contribution was intermis¬ sion music for the senior play. Selections in¬ cluding “The Desert Song,” “The Evening Star,” marches and “Selections from Martha” were played. On December nineteenth the chorus and orchestra together produced the Christmas con¬ cert. There the orchestra played among its num¬ bers “Jesu Bambino” and “Around the Christmas Tree,” and the chorus and orchestra presented the “Hallelujah Chorus.” A highlight of the program was the annual presentation of “The Night Before Christmas.” The auditorium was packed again on Febru¬ ary twenty-eighth for the annual concert of our two musical organizations. In the first half of the program the orchestra played some classical selections including the “Blue Danube Waltz” and some popular pieces from “Oklahoma” and “Show Boat.” Added attractions were a violin solo by Richard Skerlong and a piano trio con¬ sisting of Richard Skerlong, Donna MacDonald, and Catherine Dodworth. All of these con¬ tributed to make the concert an all-around suc¬ cess. To complete the season the orchestra took part in the programs of the junior play and grad¬ uation, thus concluding a year of hard work and much achievement. Row 1 — Left to right — R. Skerlong, J.

We presented our first dramatic production, a comedy en¬ titled “The Triumphant Bachelor”, in the spring of our junior year. Anna¬ bel Hoover and Jim Hoobler were in the leading roles with a strong sup¬ porting cast of Dick Barr, Mary Lou Ladlev, Shirley Dixon, Joan Evans, Glenn Grable, Sally McGinnis, and Betty Clark. Can we ever forget the characters which Jean Wilhelmy and Don Gust brought to life so splen¬ didly? Again in our senior year we came through with another hit which ran for two nights. “Yes and No” was an unusual farce in two acts and an epilogue. Sally McGinnis played the role of a girl who couldn’t make up her mind whether to say yes or no when it came to the subject of mar¬ riage. Phil Pearson played a young minister, and Jim Hoobler a wealthy business man, in a double lead. Doing equally well in portraying their characters were Ruth Slosser, Jean Wilhelmy, and Dorothy Wittmer. Bob Bierwirth’s characterization of the absent-minded father was a big con¬ tributing factor to the comedy. A great part of the success of the plays was due to the casting and directing of Mr. Burrell. Through his efforts these productions will long be remembered.

The Sound Crew Have you ever stepped into the gym on the eve of a P. A. dance? If so, you have noticed a crew of fellows clad in white uniforms running around with wires and speakers, climbing to the top of the gym on ladders, and shouting orders back and forth. No? Well, maybe you have walked into the auditorium before a movie and seen fellows adjusting the screen, placing speak¬ ers, and carrying boxes of films around. If you have ever witnessed either sight, you have seen the sound crew in action. This year the sound crew has started “roll¬ ing.” They started the year, with Mr. Gilliland as sponsor, by electing new officers. The elec¬ tions resulted with Don Baret as president, Bob Baret as quartermaster and Don Brinker as keep¬ er of records. The next thing it did was to plan and put on the annual sound crew P. A. dance. This year it was called the “Boom Boom Party.” At the dance records were given away and mov¬ ies were shown as added attractions. With the money from the dance, the P. A. system was re¬ built and the speakers were refinished. Last, but not least, the sound crew bought its pride and joy — the automatic record changer. This year the sound crew rendered service at the commun¬ ity Christmas concert, at the dances, and at the orchestra and chorus concerts. Now that the year draws to a close, the sound crew can look back on an active and pro¬ gressive year, and start planning for next year. P. A- Dances The first dance of the year was the “Wel¬ come Freshmen” dance held to welcome and acquaint the new freshies with Bellevue’s social affairs. Planned by the activities committee, the profit was presented to the freshman class to start a future bank roll. November was celebrated by a “Boom Boom” party sponsored by the sound crew. The purpose was to make noise during the movie as was done in the thriller-diller days and at our local theater. The movies featured our football team of forty-six and also extra comedies. Bringing to a close the football season, the activities committee sponsored the annual foot¬ ball dance called the “Kick Off”. The dance was in honor of the team and the proceeds went to buy football sweaters for the senior members. Mr. Ostrander was master of ceremonies at the student floor show. The team honored the audi¬ ence with favorite locker room songs. Home room one sponsored the “Who’s Who” dance to make money for the Gleeman. The popularity poll was announced by Bob Bierwirth, master of ceremonies, who gave prizes to the winners. The freshmen were very proud of themselves when thev held their “Mid-Season J Hop” on December sixth. The sophomores called their dance the “First In Forty-Seven”. The “Valentine Dance” held by the junior class completed the social program in the gym. The original idea of refreshments and dance records added greatly to the enjoyment and suc¬ cess of the P. A. dances of our school year. The Football Floor Show A s 4V y W gA Cyu.

It was August 23rd, and the aspiring candidates for the varsity football squad assembled at the field and began preparation for the coming football season, under the guidance of coaches Zundel and Shope. The squad, faced with the difficult problem of replacing veterans graduated the past June, and with anything but an easy schedule, con¬ fronted a high obstacle. However, the boys set themselves at the hard task of building a machine that would withstand the test of the season and maintain the good records of our teams in the past two years. FOOT But, though they worked diligently, the fig¬ ures at the seasons end showed a deficit in the “win” column. The following is not an excuse for that showing — it is merely a recap of the season. Friday the 13th of September lacked only the “black cat” as we were held to a torrid 7-7 tie at Leetsdale. Co-captains Straw and Carey clicked on a first quarter pass for our only score of the afternoon. The Sewickley “Indians” were victims of our Bellevue rampage the next Friday as our home season opened. The line boys really clicked, sending the backs, particularly Bope, who scored two touchdowns, surging through to pile up a 16 to 6 victory. Top Row, (left to right) — C. Donaghey, D. Estel, R.

Osborne. 60 The Avonworth and West View contests are not pleasantly remembered by the squad as we lost both these contests. They also cost us the loss of Straw and Oehmler through injuries. Despite predictions and handicaps, Avalon was “swamped” 27 to 0. Every man fought his heart out and played “heads up ball.” Through Rheam’s able quarterbacking, and the starting team’s fine execution, Carey sprang loose for a touchdown in the opening minutes, with Rodgers slashing through soon after for two more. Our inspired reserves kept up the tempo. A blocked kick by Bigler was fallen upon by Wilson to give the comers a deserved share of the glory. Midvale overpowered us in the home mud the following week. A strong attack in the sec¬ ond quarter gave them victory in an otherwise even game. Long to be remembered were our vain efforts under Shaler’s lights. Team play was wonderful, and though we knocked on the door of victory time and again, it remained closed. This was also “Ossie’s” last game. To wind up the season an enormous Crafton squad gave us a rough going-over. Our only scoring was when Straw returned to the lineup and took a Rheam pass for a T.D. Rhearn hold¬ ing and Carey kicking added the seventh point, to ring down the curtain. TOP R()W (left to right)— J. Homan, B. McCalmont, J. Heierle, E. Griffith Second Row-D. Tinyo, B. Richey, J.

Section 11 honors, they came through in fine style to capture the North Boro’s Basketball Champion ship. In regular league competition we won nine games and lost five. In the tri-boro con¬ tests the final count was three games won and one lost. Our biggest stumbling block in Section 11 play was the Sewickley Indians. On our home floor they set us down to the tune of 33-16 for our first defeat of the season. Similar back luck ex¬ isted when they played host on their match-box court. Edgewood was really “on” when they were at home, but revenge was sweet for us as we set them down in the last game of the season. Leetsdale learned how a Bellevue team can come through when the chips are down. Though they were section champs, they got a lesson in ball handling and “clutch” shooting when they en¬ gaged us on our floor. In North Boro’s competion our boys did much better. Against Avalon on its floor we won 44 to 29. Superb ball handling and shoot¬ ing by the whole team and smart defensive play resulted in piling up the margin of victory. The next week we met Avonworth on Avalon’s floor and pulled a thriller out of the fire, 35-34. The game was close with the fans on edge from be¬ ginning to end. But the boys remained calm and cool to chalk up their second local win. On our home floor Avalon’s four year jinx was broken as we beat them for the second time, 42-34. Our fel¬ lows started off slowly but went ahead at the beginning of the second quarter and were never overtaken. We expected a win over Avonworth at home, but as it turned out we were on the short end of a 28-23 score. Even with this loss, we ended the season with the best record of the three teams and so gained the tri-boro title. Bill Straw, Phil Pearson, and Glen Grable — the squad’s seniors — will be sorely missed. They played faithfully and well and our class can well be proud of their athletic achievements. H. Daum and R. Pollock Managers 66 1st row: J. Carter, J. Gurney, J. Clark, R. Neenan, W. Schramko, L. Devin, D. Schroeder, A. Schaefer, J. Taylor, J. Armstrong. 2nd row: D. Engerer, D. Himmelman, W. Kinter, E. Schaefer, J. Griffith, W. Oehmler, Mr. Shope. Reserves As basketball season started this year, Mr. Shope faced the difficult task of picking out of the many hopefuls a squad to be prepared for the varsity in future years. After a few nights of hard practicing about fifteen boys survived. Although the first two games were lost by close scores — one in an overtime with Carnegie — the Bellevue lads hit their stride and won five in a row. During this streak the boys pleased everyone by beating both Avalon and Avon- worth. Although the scores were close, Bellevue was ahead most of the time. The rest of the sea¬ son Bellevue was hot and cold, winning four and losing six. They beat Avonworth again in the second half but lost to Avalon. The most sur¬ prising game of the year was with Leetsdale on the Leetsdale floor Bellevue, seeking revenge for a former beating, got off to a poor start again. Through hard fighting and steady ball playing they tied up the game only to lose by two points in the overtime, but not without scar¬ ing an older and more experienced Leetsdale team. The reserves’ success this season was largely due to the shooting ability of Bob Neenan, Louis Devin and Walter Schramko and the scrappy re¬ bound work of Bill Oehmler, John Griffith and Elmer Schaefer. These things plus the coaching ability of Mr. Shope make the 1947 reserves a standout team. Mention this year must be made of the Jr. High 7th, 8th, and 9th grade team. Under the direction of Coach Adams the younger boys got to the semi¬ finals in the Jr. High W. P. I. A. L. playoffs. Both boys and coach deserve much credit and their team should prove to be outstanding in the future. RESERVE SCORES We They We They 26 . . Carnegie . . 28 L 18 . . Mt. Lebanon . . 32 L 21 . .

Every girl was invited to join the after-school sports. Since the activities period was no longer on schedule, our play time was limited to our “ration” of after-school use of the floor. The lack of space and time hindered our ideas and activities, but we managed enough activity for the first group of girls to earn their “B”. Membership is earned in the “B” club through successful participation in four sports in Bellevue High. Any sports record carried over from another school may help a newcomer. The club members sold refreshments at bas¬ ketball games and earned money to buy the let¬ ters and to give us a sports finale. It was not only profitable to us but enjoyable to the student body. The sports finale wound up the seasons of basketball, volleyball, badminton, and mushball. Each girl who took part in sports was invited to come and bring her mother. A demonstration volleyball game between juniors and seniors was played, letters were awarded, and refreshments served. This year’s officers are Dolores Londino, president; Roberta Laskey, vice president; Arlene McKrell, secretary; and Dolores Kimberlin, treas¬ urer. Under their guidance and that of Mrs. Gordon, the club has aimed to provide recreation for individuals and group association with girls who hold a mutual interest. There is always a place in the club for girls who are willing to ob¬ tain and share fellowship. CHEERLEADERS Row 1 — Audrey Evans. Row 2 (left to right) — N. Fuchs, M. Gamble, H. Homan, C. Buetzow.

Let's Look Into The class of 47 will be well-represented in the future. Let us go to the Global Transit Com¬ pany, owned by Kenneth Fiddler, and see if we can buy a ticket into the future. After packing our baggage, we leave the hotel and step into a cab, owned by the Thomas Reed Cab Company. When we arrive at the airport, Mr. Clyde Dun¬ lap, field manager of the airport, greets us and summons Donald Hoy to carry our baggage. Upon entering the huge waiting room, we meet Donald Baret who is on his way to Washington D. C. to see about securing a patent on a new drug that he has discovered. At the far end of the field, the great architect Richard Barr is ex¬ plaining to Richard Bigler, president of the Big¬ ler Construction Company, possible chances of remodeling the airport. Jean Murphy, Mr. Big¬ ler’s private secretary, is busy taking notes, while his two advisers, Richard South and Charles Zur- cher, are talking the matter over. We are now ready to board the plane. Charles Bisese, chief of the ground crew, is at his post and ready to start the engines. Upon entering the plane, our airhostess, LaVerne Fitzgerald, quickly ushers us to a seat. Our pilot, Raymond Harris and co¬ pilot, Jack Schlarp, tell us that our first stop will be London, and from there we will go to Mos¬ cow, Tokyo, Honolulu, San Francisco, and back to New York. As our huge plane lifts its mighty wings into the blue, we begin to take notice of the other passengers. In the front seat is the great diplomat Robert Miller with his wife, the former Betty Clark. Behind them are those stars of “The Triumphant Bachelor” and the recent comedy “Yes and No”, James Hoobler, Jean Wil- hemy, and Sally McGinnis. They are being ac¬ companied to London by their producers, Mr. David Wilson and Mr. Robert Wilson, of the Wil¬ son Brothers Pictures Inc. To the rear of the plane is Miss Renee Falvo. She is on her way to Sweden to compete in the women’s sport cham¬ pionships. She is also accompanied by her secre¬ tary, Miss Lorraine Krukowski. And last, but not least, are those hunters and explorers, Messrs. Joseph Miller and William Ludwig, who are on their way to the Swiss Alps. After some time our hostess tells us to fasten our safety belts in order that we might have a safe landing. When we step from our plane at the London airport, we are hailed by a large group of reporters headed by Robert O’Hara from the London Times. Don Smith, of the Red Top Cab Com¬ pany, is at our service with one of his cabs. He takes us to the Leland Tate Hotel in downtown London. There, at the reception desk, we are greeted by Paul Grubbs, who summons Howard Gillman, head of the bell boys, to take us to our room. Dorothy Black, our elevator operator, greets us with a pleasing smile and takes us to the proper floor. Settling down, we call room service and have Ann Hailstone, the dietitian, prepare us a steak dinner. After dinner, we go to the London Opera House to see the fine pro¬ duction of “Carmen”, starring Glenn Grable and Annabel Hoover. This opera has been brought from France through the expense of that great millionaire, Robert Berry. When we return to the hotel, the clerk gives us a message. It says that our plane is going to leave at nine the next morning. We return to our room and get some sleep for our coming journey. The next morn¬ ing, when we arrive at the airport, we see Miss Mary Lou Martin, a teacher from one of the col¬ leges in the United States, returning to the United States with two of her pupils, Frances Schatz and Roberta McMillion. We also find that there are a few new passengers on our plane. The one whom we all notice first, is that queen of beauty, Miss Joan Weeks. She and her secretary, Do¬ lores Schoenig, are on their way to Moscow for a vacation. Miss Peggie Mueller, Miss Week’s hair stylist, is also with them. Other famous pas¬ sengers are the artist, Joan Webb, and Ona Dear- dorff, the great dancer. Miss Deardorff is accom¬ panied by her clothing designer, Mary Lou Bax¬ ley. When we arrive at Moscow, we find that Mary Lou Sherrett, the famous poetess, is being interviewed by Miss Shirley Long of the Russian newspaper. Miss Long has with her two of her correspondents, Miss Dolores Jenkins and Miss Kathryn Kiehl. We also notice Joe Rodgers, the famous American naval officer who is touring various parts of the world with Michael Repko, another returned veteran. Andrew Kruk and William Lighthart are listening attentively while the two men tell of their battle experiences. As we approach the reception desk, we notice that Faustino Guistini, the famous actor, is talking to the clerk. We hear him tell that he is on his way back to New York to perform in producer Donald Buetzow’s fine production of “Bleeding Heart.” After a good night’s rest, we start on a tour of the city, for our plane does not leave for Tokyo until late afternoon. Our guide, Harold Snyder, tells us that he will take us to the two most important places in the city. The first is the Armstrong Institute of Technology, owned and financed by Professor Jack G. Armstrong. The second place is the Red Star Theater, where the world famous violinists, Alice Booth and Richard 70 The Future Skerlong, are now performing. We then go back to the hotel and leave for the airport. Again, there are three more guests on our plane. The first two are Mr. Herbert Daum and Mr. Donald Gust, buyers of the Richman Mens and Boys’ Clothing and of the Joseph Horne Company. The other is that of the former Miss Jean Camp¬ bell. She and her new husband, Mr. Edward Ruehl, are on their way back to the United States after a honeymoon in Moscow. After a very long journey, we arrive at Tokyo. There we are greeted by Mr. John Westhead, ambassador to Japan, and his secretary Miss Dorothy Kunkel. At the airport is Secretary of State Merle Farren. He is on his way back to the United States after having discussed the Japanese prob¬ lems with high ranking officials. A short ride and we are at our hotel where we prepare for dinner. We go to one of the Evans’ Restaurants, which is a part of a chain of restaurants owned by Misses Joan and Audrey Evans. Arthur Nin- ness, the head waiter, directs us to a table directly across from the famous soprano, Miss Joan Meis- ter. She is having dinner with her accompanist, Mary Jane Amon, and her secretary, Martha McKinney. On the other side of our table is Miss Ruth Slosser, known for her fine missionary work in Japan. She is conferring with her advisers Miss Barbara Shulz and Miss Joan McKee. After dinner, we go back to our hotel where we see Mr. Jack Marko, a great figure in the world of science, explaining Einstein’s theory to Martha Dewar, a woman personality in the world of science. Miss Jane Dolan, her secretary, is taking notes while Mr. Marko talks. The next morning we board our plane and take off for Honolulu. Upon stepping from the plane, we are greeted by Mr. Robert Bierwirth, famed coach of the famous B. A. A. basketball team. He is return¬ ing to the United States with two of his star play¬ ers, Phil Pearson and Bill Straw. They are also accompanied by Mr. Russell Pollock, their man¬ ager. They are returning from their usual sum¬ mer training in Hawaii. We also meet General Donald Etter who is returning after a series of conferences in Honolulu. He is with his secre¬ tary, Miss Jane Means. When we arrive at our hotel we meet Miss Shirley Dixon who is the owner and manager. She has just started a chain of hotels in various parts of the world which have proven very successful. On our way up to our room, we see Miss Dorothy Wittmer who tells us that she has just moved to Hawaii and is at present staying at the home of Marilvn Wetzel. She says that she is employed at the Charles Waters Pineapple Juice Company and that Miss Regina Walters and Miss Rosemary Torso also work there. After settling ourselves, we go for a tour of the city. Mr. Herbert Miller, our guide, tells us that he will take us to one of the largest pineapple plantations on the islands. Arriving there, we see the owners, Mr. Roger Reeb and Mr. Edward Rodgers, carefully in¬ specting their plantation. Mr. Miller then takes us downtown. Before our eyes we see written in big letters on the front of a large building, the words Henry and Helt, Importers and Retail¬ ers.” Mr. Miller tells us that this large depart¬ ment store has been in business for over 25 years. Inside the store we see many familiar faces. Miss Alice Cuda and Miss Edna Mae Cummings are behind one of the counters selling expensive cos¬ metics. The floor manager, Mr. Ted Carey, tells us that there are more people we might know in the offices on the upper floor. In the employment office, Miss Mary Joan Jacobs, the receptionist, tells us that we came at a bad time because the offices have closed for the day. We tour other parts of the city and then return to our hotel and prepare to leave for the United States. After a very long plane ride, we arrive back in the United States at the city of San Francisco. Miss Mary Lou Ladley, a famous woman in the society world and who has been our guest on the plane from Hawaii, is the first to be greeted by a large group of reporters. Miss Gertrude Schossow and Miss Nancy Smith interview her for “Townsend”, the largest circulating woman’s magazine in the United States. It is owned by Miss Jean Town¬ send. As there is not much time to stay here, we hurry to our hotel to stay for the night. Miss Sara Ansbach, the desk clerk, tells June Thomas to show us to our room. On the way up to our room, we meet Miss Betty Moore who tells us that she is going to New York in the morning after having had a splendid vacation at the home of Margaret Miller. Early the next morning, we board the plane for New York. After a non-stop flight we arrive back in the city from which we started. As we step from the plane, we are crowded by Dolores Londino, Thelma Beatty, Patty Luttress, Virginia McDonald, and Pauline Cline who are all eager to secure information for the newspapers they represent. We finally return to our hotel and get back to normal life. We have taken a very long trip, and we have seen that the class of 47 will be well-represented in the future.
