May the guiding hand of Bellevue Lead us on our Way, She'll reveal to us the marvels, Of a new born day, Loyal will We bear her banners Red and Black on high, Always praise our Alma Mater Dear Old Bellevue High. Jmnwmd The 1954 Gleeinan is especially dedicated to the task of pointing out the opportunities which are offered at Bellevue High School in an effort to develop good all-round citizens and to present it in appreciation for the untiring Work of all those who have had a hand in our education. Our administration and the citizens of the community realize that when we Seniors leave high school We are entering a life Without assignments and tests, and they have diligently tried to prepare us to meet these new responsi- bilities and duties. We have been taught to think and act in a democratic manner. In our extracurricular activities we have learned the lessons of cooperation with both students and faculty meinbers. These vital lessons will enable us to be active participants in community affairs as well as proud and successful homemakers. We have been trained in our classes to understand citizenship in all its phases. The sports, the dances, our assemblies, and the little things that happened in every class have broadened our outlook and have made our years at Bellevue full of fun as well as hard work. The teachers have been the guiding hands which have set up and carried this program to its completion, but we must not forget our parents who have contributed so much time and money to school projects. Wie realize our advantages and the value of them. As we leave Bellevue High School and step into the new roles of citizen, homemaker, doctor, nurse, minister, laborer, college student, or secretary, we shall look back on these years as ones filled with lessons in practical education.

There was never a time when Pop,' missed giving a big Hello,' or some good-natured kidding to each passerby, and his friendliness continued even after school hours. He knew many of our names and would call a cheery greeting when he saw any of us in the borough. While we were at work with our studies, Pop was busily Working to improve our school atmosphere. His activities included not only the improve- ment of our school building but also an avid interest in all our activities. Although he worked hard all day, he still found time to look in on every school event. During Football and Basketball seasons, Pop,' was always there to share our victories as well as our disappointments. He enjoyed our plays, concerts, and assemblies with us. When something was exceptionally well done, Pop,' was one of the first to compliment usg likewise, if he felt it was not up to par, he would give us his honest criticism, Pops, tireless work and interest in Bellevue High School has gained him the affection and admiration of many students and graduates, especially those of us who are members of the Class of 1954.

Kidd To set the standards and establish the policies for the Bellevue Schools, the citizens have chosen seven men, each of whom has placed the physical and mental well-being of the young people of Bellevue first on his list of good deeds. Throughout the year these men have worked tirelessly and unselfishly to improve the physical plant and to set up an academic and activity program which will give the student efficient training to accept responsibility intelligently when he takes his place in the community. 10 Edwin B. Long, Ed. D. Superintendent Robert H. Ruthart, M.A. Principal Since the Superintendent is the chief officer of the Board of Education, he must operate the schools according to the policies and Within the budget adopt- ed by the Board. His most important duty is the selection of an adequate staff, with Whose help he plans a curriculum and activity program that offers the greatest possible opportunity for the development of the all around student. He is responsible, also, for the evaluation of the results of the school program, making constant revisions to keep it in line with changing conditions. Within the limits of the budget, the Superin- tendent purchases the supplies and equipment needed to carry out the program of the schools. The Class of 1954 appreciates this Wise planning on the part of our Superintendent. The high school Principal must constantly evalu- ate the high school curriculum, so that it will provide the necessary learning opportunities, and the activity program, so that it will insure opportunities for de- velopment which will supplement classroom instinc- tion. Since the primary task of the school is i11struc- tion, every class, every activity, and every student must contribute to this instruction in some Way. The results of this evaluation must be used constructively so that the best possible training is provided for the individual student not only in the classroom but also in the varied extracurricular activities. For every contribution made by the Seniors 'to this teaching program, they, in turn have acquired the training and poise necessary to take their places in the community. 11 aiding, ,fum frm ..., Bruce Adams, M.

Back in Seventh Grade, as newcomers to Bellevue High School, graduation seemed far, far away. How big and important the Seniors seemed to usl We were proud just to know their names. Before long, We took on an air of importance and finally, after much hard work, We reached tenth grade. Senior High at last! Various activities quickly absorbed our talents and with diligent work We produced Strictly Formal and an outstanding Junior 'Prom. VVe can look back on those events with pride. As Seniors, how different things seem from the top of the ladder. Who can forget Barry Webster and Bob Maze in Brighten the Cornerv coming in at twenty paces - zero, zero, zero . . ., or that We pioneered in sponsoring a never-to-be- forgotten Junior-Senior Prom? Ah-h-h-h! And now, the strains of Pomp and Circum- stance are just a memory.

Look no further for many examples can be found right here in the junior Class. True, he may not have taken school too seriously but a visit to any one of his various classes will find him taking an active part in class discussion and performing the duties re- quired of him. A glance at the activity program will find many Juniors accepting the responsi- bilities of leadership in Student Council, Glee- man, Belle Hop, Y-Teens, Dramatics, Band, Chorus and Athletics. Now that this all round junior is about to become a Senior, he realizes that he has only one more chance to take advantage of all the opportunities Bellevue has to offer him in pre- paration for his job as an all round citizen of our community.

We are very important parts of all activities, Hi-Y, Chorus, Student Council, Belle Hop, Clee- man, and the new Orchestra Ensemble which is sure to go places. In academic studies the class also shines. Some days the forecast is rather cloudy, especial- ly, in geometry as We try to master those angles and arcs, and the declensions and conjugations in Latin II. Microscopes are gradually bringing Biology into focus, but who Wants to focus on a frog. Our tottering treasury was revived by the proceeds from the Basket Ball , our P.A. dance. On every day in every Way the Class of 1956 have pepped up the Senior High with its enthusiasm and new ideas - We aim to do more as Iuniors and Seniors. Ugficofm, President ,......

Mutm A XVendell Hlazzman, For an inside glimpse into the numerous problems involved in issuing a publication, the Gleeman staff room is the place to go. Each year this staff takes pride in presenting a care- fully planned and thoughtfully edited yearbook. The fundamental work for the 1954 Cleeman began last spring when the newly chosen staff members met to discuss ideas and set up goals. The summer months offered time for the Liter- ary staff to plan a tentative dummy while the Business staff made surveys of prospective pa- trons. Wfhen the school year opened operation Glecman went into full swing. Class and Senior pictures were taken within the first six weeks of school, and throughout the year a Gleeman BUSINESS STAFF shutterbug could often be seen popping off flashbulbs. One of the more successful P,A. dances, the Cleam and Glitter Ball, was spon- sored by the Annual Staff. Throughout the en- tire time the industrious Business staff kept busy providing the necessary funds. By March 10 the finishing touches were put on the Cleeman, and it was sent off, complete, to the printer. This year Mrs. Roe acted as the Faculty sponsor of both the Business and the Literary staffs. She Worked hard, as usual, giving encourage- ment ancl guidance so that We might publish a fine book. Her attitude inspired us to put our best into Whatever our job, great or small. Re- sults of this guidance and the Work of each Staff member can be found in the 1954 Gleeman. JUNIOR LITERARY STAFF Bottom Row - L. to R. - V. Coen Row 2 - J. Richards, N. Fredenburgh, P.

Handbook Staff One of the most important tasks at Bellevue is the preparation of the Handbook, which con- tains concise information about high school regulations, academic schedules, the activities calendar, and testing dates. It is necessary so that the new student may learn cheers, teachers' names, and find his way to classes. It helps him to become acquainted with the many or- ganizations by listing the names of officers and sponsors, and by giving a brief statement of their purpose. The staff, with the help of Miss Taylor, prepares the Handbook during the summer va- cation, aware of the importance of having all this information in the hands of the student when school opens. Belly, Hop, EMAITTQAA. jfafj Changes is the key Word of the Belle Hop Business Staff. During the past two years the Staff has undergone some very effective reorganization. Since the Business Staff was entirely responsible for typing all Belle Hop material, each new candidate must be a capable typist, and few are accepted without the re- commendation of the Commercial Department. The Business Manager, Robert Maze, has Worked with members of the Staff to establish more effective methods of attending to fundamental operations, and to find new and different Ways for boosting the Belle Hop in B.H.S. One method for making a better school paper was the PROM PEANUT campaign, which is the annual money raising project of the staff. HANDBOOK STAFF Bottom Row-L. to B.-C. Dickson, Miss Taylor, M.

When school opened in September, Larry Pearson, as president, and other council officers and mem- bers prepared to fulfill campaign promises. Training in parliamentary procedure is secon- dary to the discussion of important matters per- taining to Bellevue High and its students. Through the various committees of Student Council an attempt is made to plan for and serve the best interests of the student body. JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL Bottom Row-L. to R.-D. Ceder- berg, C.

The members planned at least six activities during the year, one of which was a social service project - the gathering of clothing and toys for Korea. This is just one of the ways that, through learning how to live in a democracy, the junior Student Council helps to train the ideal student. Hannon, R.

Under the guidance of Miss Taylor, the club directed its activities toward the making of a better, all-1'ound student. Col- lege representatives were invited to speak to interested students concerning the many phases of college life. Some members of the club visited Penn State, Indiana State Teach- ers College and others. There were no regu- larly scheduled meetings, since they had to be planned to suit the speaker. In the future the club hopes to be of greater service to all academic students. 48 dzmunbly, fn Planning programs which promote the development of the all around student is the first and foremost duty of the Assembly Com- mittee. Great care is taken to provide a pro- per balance of educational and entertaining assemblies. During the past year, this com- mittee functioned under the co-chairmanship of julia Abercrombie and Joan Cooper. Mem- bers of the committee are chosen by Miss Wagoner and Mr. Stottlemyer and each one has a specific duty to perform. Posters from the publicity department advertise coming as- semblies one month in advance and those people who possess the quality of leadership participate in the assembly programs. With the help of the committee, some students present entertainment for the enjoyment of their classmates. The assembly committee occupies an important place in Bellevue I-ligh School and in the life of the individual student. L. to B.-I. Snyder, Secretary, R. Kimble, Trcasurerg Miss Taylor, Sponsorg D.

The purpose of this club, formed for those who enjoy the lime light, is to bring out hidden talents whether they be in acting, directing, staging, or behind- the-scenes work. Weekly plays, given by the aspiring artists, give them experience in nearly all aspects of theatrical work. The poise and JUNIOR DBAMATIC CLUB D. Peters Shuniaker, B. Brooks Top Row - G. Ketterer, C.

Under the direction of Mr. Burrell, the members of the Stage Crew prepare the stage set for the class plays, and set up the special props needed for our assembly programs. The Sound Crew handles all projection and sound equipment for classroom and assembly programs. One of their members is responsible for an- nouncements over the P.A. system at the begin- ning of each session of school, and others are always present to play records for our school dances.

Hennig With a Song In My Heart could well be the theme song of Bellevue High School. Almost fifty per cent of the student body is, in some way, affiliated with the Chorus, Band, or the recently revived Orchestra. Rehearsals, the keystone of music, are held at various times dur- ing the day. Each department has its main section along with small ensembles, trios, quar- tets, and other individual groups. The Chorus and Ensemble are constantly learning new music for their many public appearances and the annual Spring Concert. The Band's biggest job is to give a rip-snorting performance at our Varsity Football games. They spend hours pre- paring new and different stunts and music to entertain Bellevue's Boosters during half time, The Orchestra works tirelessly learning new music and studying older numbers in order to play for Graduation and, this year, for the Junior Play . The Music Department offers an oppor- tunity to anyone interested in music. Each year representatives go to the County and VVestern District Chorus, Band, and Orchestra. This year Robert Maze represented Bellevue in the All State Chorus held in Meadville. Music helps to develop the all-round stu- dent by arousing his interest and by giving him a better appreciation of the value of good music and its place in the modern workaday world.

The library, with its thousands of volumes and information on all subjects, is al- ways available to students who wish to take advantage of all the opportunities it offers them. The Library Staff, under the capable super- vision of its sponsor, Miss Studer, is composed of volunteer girls and boys. This staff assists its fellow students in the taking out and return- ing of books. The Library Staff also collects fines, files cards, Writes overdue slips, and re- pairs boolcs. During the year the Library Staff SM!! added many new pamphlets to the vocational file to make it even more up to date for the stu- dents' future use. All of this vocational informa- tion aids many students in choosing their life Work. To help build the students socially, the annual Christmas dinner was held jointly With the Belle I-Iop Staff just before Christmas va- cation. The efficient work accomplished by the Library Staff has aided and will continue to aid in the development of all-round good stu- dents in Bellevue High School. Swm MN 60 X 1 r y 3 , , N J 1 v.

Lack of experience, new coaching methods, and a tough schedule accounted for the poor showing Bellevue made in the win column. Kimble and Torso personally accumulated all 33 points Belle- vue registered against Perry. Then the offense bogged down and the team was scoreless for the next three games with Avonworth, Sharpsburg, and Union Township. Bellevue reached the high point of the season in its annual encounter with Avalon as we thoroughly trounced the Panthers to the time of 41 - 13. Torso and Kimble again cut loose with two touchdowns each, Bob Wfolff added a third, and Beebis came on a lumbering 40 yard run after he recovered an Avalon fumble.

Spetz was very effective in the early innings, but tired quickly, and Scigliano had a fast ball but lacked support at the plate. The battery was generally Weak, with the exception of Acker who turned in a creditable .340 average. His defensive play at second base was also outstanding as he teamed up with Stewart at shortstop to form a defensive combination. Kimble did a fine job as catcher. As players with more experience move up to the Varsity squad, Bellevue can hope for a better ball Club in the future. Dgwwpipmawm...

This club is always in evidence at just the right time to spark the enthusiasm of the student body and has become a very vital part of the activity life at Bellevue. PEP CLUB Bottom Row-N. Cillott Means, N. Clark. lane, S. Andrew, C. Hall. Klub The Ushers Club is a service group spon- sored by the Hi-Y organization at Bellevue. The efficient way in which the members perform their duties has brought about more orderly dismissals from school assemblies and have con- tributed to the success of the Senior Play and the Christmas Concert. The services of this group are available for all performances held in the High School auditorium, not just for those affairs connected with the school program. USHERS CLUB Bottom Row-E. Pavoli, C.

Physical education is an important way to build an all-round good citizen for it teaches sportsmanship and fair play. The Girls Athletic Association builds citizenship through participa- tion in such sports as bowling, badminton, and softball. Tournament games are held between Bellevue and neighboring schools in basketball and volleyball. Participation in these various sports earns each girl a specific number of points toward an emblem, jacket, or pin, the points being cumu- lative from year to year. For the first time six junior Girls have received jackets - Sue Gred- Iein, joan Cooper, Elaine Wetzel, Laura Lo- Bianco, and Diane Wooster. Bottom Row - L. to R. - N. Clark, K. Zundel, R.
