The class of 1955 is proud to dedicate this issue of the Gleeman to Gwen- dolyn Baker, Teacher of physical education, health, and driver training. She is an ardent sports enthusiast and is thoroughly convinced that sports training is a vital part of the school curriculum for every girl. Because she herself excels as an athlete, one can find her on the field or in the gym teaching correct stance for golf, her first love, the various positions in field hockey, basketball, volley ball, and badminton. The Junior and Senior G.A.A. groups boast a large membership due to the enthusiasm and geniality of Miss Baker. Our cheerleading teams are precision trained by her, and her constant watchfulness to suggest improvement has made them outstanding representatives of our school. The refreshment stand during football season was originated by her to provide awards for the G.A,A. as well as hot dogs, hot coffee, and popcorn to the spectators, The senior girls love her for the hilarious iokes she tells in health class, and no awards assembly would be complete without Miss Baker and her inevitable pun. Because she occupies such a very special place in the life of Bellevue High School and its student body, the class of i955 has chosen this way of expressing its appreciation of Miss Baker. -6- Pk H x Y W W gm .

Mr. Kerr had served on the board for almost ten years and his service as president and board member was marked by his genuine interest in both teachers and pupils. The students will miss his quiet smile and the school board members will miss his wise counsel. chool Board Seated-L. to R.-Mr. Kidd, secretary, Mr. Neavitt, treasurer, Mr. Hammerle, president, Mr. Carey, vice- president. Standing-Mr. Morcroft, solicitor, Mr. Lienhard, Mr. Coen, Mr. Lee, Mr. Benner, Dr. Long. Most of the students of Bellevue High School take the building, the curric- ulum, the faculty, the activity and sports program for granted. We seldom take the time to consider that all these involve many hours of discussion by a group of men, the School Board, which meets once a month to formulate the plans and set the policies for an efficient school system. Adequate preparation for effective citizenship is ours for the taking because of the long hours of unselfish service given by these men. Edwin B. Long, Ed.D. Superintendent Dr. Long, our superintendent, always has the best interests of the students in mind when he suggests a solution to the many intricate problems involved in school management. His busy schedule does not permit him to be present at all activities, but his influence is felt through- out the school. The members of the class of '55 appreciate the time and effort he has spent in helping to make our school days happy ones. 9 Robert H. Ruthart, M.A. Principal Struggling with the master schedule, talk- ing with parents, constantly reminding students and faculty about innumerable details which keep the school operating smoothly, and for- ever urging us to maintain a high standard of scholarship are only a few of the many tasks which our principal, Mr. Ruthart, cheerfully per- forms. Everyone appreciates his friendly smile, .and each of his accomplishments helps the stu- dent attain a richer fuller life. Thank you, Mr. Ruthart. 'N .n,'Y , L.

L Rt Pushing our way Thru The heavy front doors six years ago, The members of The class of '55 began The first of many hikes To The Third floor - seemed like six, especially if one were late. We were out for a good Time, in The front row aT all The games, furnishing our share of stars in spotrs and leaders in other activities. We enjoyed life, some of us got into troulole, some of us settled down To The responsibilities of Senior High, and all of us worked as a man To produce The Form Divine one of Bellevue's best class plays. As Seniors we were reminded that our smiles would be a decided asset when life would get a little rough, and we capitalized immediate- ly on That asset with an hilarious WhodunniT - Lay Down You're Dead. A Get-TogeTher for all The Seniors of The North Boroughs was originated and held aT Belle- vue. Our final concerts, our final exams, our applications for college, jobs, and Uncle Sam, The Prom, Commencement, our diploma, - why! - it is all over and we must push our way out Those same heavy doors for the last Time.

The scared little seventh graders are now big wheels of the school, with only the Iordly seniors outranking them. While we used to scurry along the halls of This huge strange building, now we race from here to there, trying to fit in all our outside activities with our class work. You name the activity, and there is sure to be a Junior involved. Can this be the lndispensable Class? We pay no heed as the faculty shakes their heads from side to side. Five long, short, gay sad hard working CPD easy-going years behind us and the one big year still ahead. THIS IS IT, kids, so let's get set to take over the leadership of our Alma Mater, Remember when you were back there in Seventh Grade the Seniors were a giant race that could do no wrong. Now you will be in the spot light shortly - Loyal will we bear her banners, Red and Black on high, Always praise our Alma Mater Dear Old Bellevue High. Row 1-L. to R.-V. Coen, C. Bletcher A. Gaul, M.

Hold that Pose Mrs. Roe's buds fbetter known perhaps, as the Gleeman Statfj went to work early in the school year on one of the most important student activities of all - the production of the book you are now reading with, we hope, sincere enioyment. Truly this project covers a multitude of activities - lay-outs, photographs, write-ups of all student activities, art work, advertisements, and last but not least, selling the book to our fellow Bulldogs. After a briefing on the financial facts of producing such a book, the result was a concert- ed effort by all staff members to secure funds for Patron listings. The Business Staff organized the selling of advertisements and with the wolf driven away from our door, the Literary Staff got clown to business. First came photographs, - of the Classes, the Seniors, the activities groups, and sports events, then the WRITE-UPS, which flowed like molasses from our pens, pencils, and typewriters After wearing out numerous pencils and empty- ing countless paste pots, the material went to the printer. The Staff took deep breaths and re- laxed into discussions of homework assignments, the latest school gossip, and other similarly important topics until time to read proof, when the wear and tear on the blue pencils started again. Finally came the day when the familiar -3O- was writen to the 1955 Gleeman. Truly, it has been a year full of hard work, explorations in new fields, considerable satisfac- tion in accomplishments, climaxed by the grand and glorious feeling when our printed words go forth into the hands of our friends.

The Belle Hop gives these people an opportun- ity to achieve this goal by printing their articles in the various issues ot the paper. Each year the staff faces the problem ot securing reporters from the class entering Junior High. Their talents unknown, they are asked to volunteer news of their classmates and those who are consistently good at gathering news during the year are later added to the staff. lt is the constant aim of the editors to bring the news ot coming events to the attention of the students and to feature such important things nnick, F.

Assembly Committee The Assembly Committee, under the able guidance of Miss Wagoner and Mr. Stottlemyer, is responsible for all assembly programs present- ed by professional and student talent. Their prob- lem, to plan assemblies enjoyable To all the students in the high school, is colossal. Their success can be measured by the maiority of out- standing programs they have presented for our information and enjoyment. Hours spent by this committee in carefully planning the many details of a program are rewarded by our heartiest appreciation of a iob well done. -44.- Handbook teff Can you tell me where the Art Room is? How may I become a class officer? When is Easter Vacation? All these questions and many more were answered in that little pamphlet with the B.H.S. insignia called the Handbook. During summer vacation the staff compiled the necessary academic and activity information to be made available to the new student, reminders for the veteran, and a review for the parent of what his child may expect from his years in high school.

National Honor Society Membership in the National Honor Society is the highest hon- or award vvhich can be achieved by any student in Bellevue High School. Only members of the Junior and Senior classes are eligible. Their selection is based on high scholastic ability, strong character, outstanding leader- ship, and dependable service which they have shovvn in the classroom and in those extracur- ricular activities of their choice. Truly the National Honor Society is a mark of distinction for worthy students. Quill and oroll Selection for membership in Quill and Schroll is a tribute to those who have done outstand- ing work on school publications. Eligible members from the Junior and Senior classes are recom- mended by the advisors for approval by the high school principal and the executive sec- retary of Quill and Scroll. They must show willingness to accept responsibility and ability in some phase of iournalism or business management. Quill and Scroll provides worthy recognition for those who spend many hours performing tedious and exacting duties. Cheerfully we cope . . SOCIETY illlliir Seated-L. to R.-D. Humphreys, S.

Members are chosen by the student body following the pattern of elections in our repre- sentative form of government, They serve on various committees which keep our school run- ning smoothly. The observance of special weeks throughout the year called the attention of the students to such important things as sportrnan- ship, safety and school spirit. The traditional football dance, honoring the football team, the cheerleaders, band members, coaches, and di- rectors was climaxed by the crowning of Sue Andrew as T955 football queen. Jr. High tudent Council ln an effort to develop school spirit and co- operation among the students of the Junior High School their own Student Council is the key or- ganization. Under the leadership of Edward Mc- Farlane and Carolyn Lee they have worked con- scientiously toward this goal. ln November the Council planned a Sadie Hawkins Stomp to welcome the Seventh grade into Junior High School. Weren't the Barbecued Schmoos and Kickapoo Joy Juice yummy? When the treasury needed a lift small memory books called School Daze were sold and the treasurer, Ronnie Falvo, heaved a sigh of relief - there was money to pay the bills. 1955 was another successful year.

With Situations broadening . . pn- The difficult task of co-ordinating the efforts of our Student Council falls into the collective laps of the Executive Committee, comprised of Student Council officers and class presidents and directed by Miss Taylor. A conference is held before every Student Council meeting to de- termine the agenda for that meeting. When the need arises committee chairmen attend meetings of this executive group. During the summer the members met to prepare an organized program for the school year. Paul White and Walter Vlahakis were chosen to head two new committes of Student Council, Public Relations and Finance, and they have per- formed their new duties efficiently. The care of Jost articles was directed by Ruth McKenna. June Turner and Ronnie Neumer will be responsible for the spring elections, at which time all elec- tive offices in the Senior High School will be filled. Anita Felix and Charles Weber handle all publicity for the council. All these and many other important activi- ties are tied together by the Executive Committee and result in a well-knit Student Council organi- lation. l -1'-1 ev - .. . -, t , A . FJ F . 5. li l .

The first meeting this year was planned with future college, business school students, and nurses in mind. So much information about costs and types of courses offered by the various schools was given that the program was later repeated for the parents of the members. Throughout the year, students visited nearby .schools and talked with different college repre- sentatives.

Library taff Because it serves the members of the school so well, the Library staff earns the admiration of the student body. The staff, advised by Miss Studer, performs those duties so necessary for efficient library operation. An enormous amount of knowledge is to be found in the many vol- umes Elling the shelves, and so, the library serves as a source for book reports, pleasure reading, and reference themes. This year, as an experiment, eighth graders ioined upperclasmsen in performing desk duties. Proving very successful, the plan will serve as a model for next year.

Junior Teens Desgined for offering fellowship, doing good will, and having fun, The Jr. Teens is one of the most active Jr. High groups. The club's program is planned to interest all members. This year The girls participated in a square dance, a Salamagundie Party, and a play which they wrote Themselves. At Thanks- giving, older members made favors for Subur- ban Hospital, and in the spring, Jr. Teens and Y-Teens held their annual MoTher's Tea and Fash- .ion Show. The year ended with The installation of new officers. Y-Teens A little work sprinkled generously with play at Carondowanna and the Y-Teens Cabinet pro- duced The year's program based on Television programs. Roast of the Y-Teens in October, Ask the Girls', a fashion show in March, and 'Down lt Goes, The annual Senior Banquet in May, were highlights of the year. A most suc- cessful P.

With Joe Gallo, president, Janet Haz- lett, vice president, and Earl McMillen, secretary- treasurer, the members learn the amazing prog- ress science is making in industry, medicine, and research. Four field trips a year help the students to visualize this progress. An avid interest in this organization is held by all who belong, for having proved that one need not be a scientist to understand its accom- plishments, the members are always urging others to join. This organization answers the numerous questions of active boys and girls eager to under- stand and better fit into the world around them. ln our present-day world of rockets, iet planes, atom bombs, television, and medical mar- vels, there is no need to stress the importance of science and biology. The Senior High Science Club is the school contact with these modern miracles, uncler the able guidance of Mr. Hart- man. The Club presented their annual assembly program, a petroleum demonstration titled The Magic Barrel, in January. Field trips were made through the Armour Company plant, and the Aviary in West Park. The great outdoors was explored when the Club observed wild life and collected leaves and twigs near Pymatuning. Awakening of scientific interests is an im- portant part of the work of this very worth-while School organization. Shoemaker. Kay. R. Heintzelman, Mr. Neely. -51- n mmmmmumr Row I-L. to R.-E.

Although winning only two games and los- ing six in W. P. I. A. L. competition, we still say that the Bellevue Bulldog's 1954 Football Team turned in a good record. After faring well in two summer practice games, the team was highly rated, and was ready to tear into all opposition. Hard luck hit when iniuries and eligibility prob- lems took out several key players. The team opened up against Aspinvvall, and after a close, hard-fought game, Bellevue was on the short end of a 12-7 score. On the rebound the Bulldogs almost upset a highly-touted Sewickley team, but a fourth period score won the game for the lndians 19-12. The mighty Commodores of Perry came into town the next week, and completely demoralized the Bulldogs. Bellevue was never in the game, being trounced to the tune of 38-7. Seemingly unable to recover from this defeat, the team lost the next three straight, to Avon- worth, Robinson, and Leetsdale. However, in the Leetsdale game the Bulldogs began to show signs of life. Bellevue held the powerful Spartans on even terms for the first half, but Leetsdale's su- perior weight and experience gained the victory for them, 26-7. The Bulldogs achieved their first victory over their arch rival Avalon. The issue was never in doubt, as Bellevue unleashed a brilliant offense to crush the Panthers 26-O. Bellevue showed top form in the final game of the season, downing a surprisingly tough North Allegheny team 25-13. Thus the Bellevue Bull- dogs closed their 1954 season. Bellevue will lose quite a few Varsity players through graduation, but Coach Storer has developed some fine play- ers for next year, and a much better season is in prospect. as .rm . ,,,L , 3,3 N Yi' , .Ma V. .W . -- 'fn 1 J 1-.-- if , .

Varsity Club Any student who earns a letter in any sport in Senior or Junior High School is eligible to be- come a member of the Varsity Club, an organi- zation tor all Bellevue High School athletes. The operation of the refreshment stand at home Football games was shared by members of the club who volunteered to serve each week. In return, forty per cent of the profits went to the Club. Each year the money earned goes toward Kearney for a first down. iackets tor the graduating Seniors. During the year meetings are held once a month highlighted by movies and discussions of future plans. A Will Be - Has Been Basketball game was pro- moted in the spring. By bringing all the letter- men together in the Varsity Club, active interest in the sports program of the high school is de- veloped and maintained. Bertram keeps!

Winning most of their preseason games and the Lion's Club Tournament, the Bulldogs were ready for league competition. They started the season by easily defeating a spirited Evans City aggregation 60- 43, but met with an unexpected reversal at Leets- dale and again at Sewickley. At Robinson the Bulldogs combined good shooting and aggressive play to win, 82-71. Riding the crest of this vic- tory, the team easily defeated the Neville Indians and reached the high point of the first part of the season when they met Avonworth. Rallying from far behind in the third quarter, Bellevue won by a score of 49-46.

The second half of the season seemed to be an anti-climax. Belle- vue's last hope of gaining section supremacy was ruined when Sewickley won a second time. Avonworth, rated as the strongest team in the section, gained sweet revenge crushing Bellevue 83-60. After a poor start in the final game with Avalon, the realization that this was the last game of the season sparked the team to come from behind and chalk up a victory 49-46. The Reserve and Junior High teams did not have very many more scores in the win column, but the training and experience in league com- petition should furnish good material for the va- cancies left by graduating Seniors.

This year the girls played softball, basketball, bowling, and volleyball. The highlights of the year was a weekend at Oglebay Park in Wheeling, West Virginia. Need- less to say a good time was had by all. Jackets are awarded to those girls who have accumulated sufficient points by participating in the various sports. TWO POINTS N. Peters, C. Dickson, R.
