'Were you driving with a student? 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-

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.
