'fir Si -E 2 .1- CLASS HISTORY 'Columbus'1 this word has a place in everyone's heart. Would you not believe that the gallant senior class of 1941 has played just as important part in the making of its school history as did Columbus in the founding of America? If you do not believe my words, then gather around and I will point out some of the frontiers this class has conquered. n In the autu n of 1937 an intelligent and enthusiastic group of sixty boys and girls started their first year working for a higher goal in life. The class chose Elsie Hulan as their president, and Miss Corinne Smith as their sponsor. This was a prosperous year. The class organized a very encouraging girls' basketball team. Through the cooperation of its members, the class won second place in Stunt Night. At the beginning of the fall term of 1938, the class again chose Miss Corinne Smith as their sponsor and Betty Ann Baird as the president. Many of the members gained places on the nnin basketball squad. The girls' team went to the semi-finals of T.S.S.A.A. basketball tournament of the Eighth District in which Sara Sexton, a member of this class, held main position as guard. The girls of this class won the class tournament. Soon this year had rolled b . y By 1939 the class could proudly call themselves Juniors. They chose Margaret Phillips as their president and Earl Horner as vice-president. Miss Smith and Mr. Torrance were placed as sponsors of this class and with their worthy assistance the class presented uThe Dixie Minstre1s'. The money secured was used to entertain the Seniors by taking them to Cedar Forest National Park near Lebanon, Tennessee in May. Many of the members of this class held main positions on the basketball and football teams. During this year the class won first place in a health program in which all classes participated. A iollar was awarded by Dr. Lentz in recognition of this stunt. With the passing of examinations, the activities of the class for the year were ended. Finally September 6, 1940, rolled around. The class had proudly won the title of 'Seniors'. There was never a class that was more proud to boast of that title. The class roll had now dropped to forty members. They chose Sybil Beckham, as president, Juanita Sullivan, as vice-president, George Steele, as secretary and 'Dad' Smith, as treasurer. Miss Smith and Mr. Terrence were chosen as sponsors. At a later meeting the class decided to publish the fourth edition of the nBellevue Owln. The following were selected to fill important positions on the annual staff. Fred Rauschenberger, editor-in-chief, Betty Baird, assistant editor, J. B. Swafford, business manager, Albert Mitchell, assistant business manager. This year the girls' basketball team, seven members of which belonged to this class, was the runner-up in the T.S.S.A.A. tournament. Again our group captured the girls trophy in the class tournament. In May, 1941, the class presented the senior play. It proved a great success The proceeds were left as a gift to the school. The class has now reached the day of departure. They are now leaving the old familiar haunts of their high school days and are setting sail on a new sea of life. If the class by its efforts has added to the glory of Bellevue High School, it can only toss the torch to those who followg and hope that they may continue what this class has begun. In the future may this history bring pleasant memories to the Class of 1941 Eileen Crick, Historian. 15
