L T Sr S A On - y? i ' XT THE CAMPANILE is named for the most characteristic feature of our campus, the beautiful bell tower — campanile — which rises above the Main Entrance. Our campanile represents Belmont to us and to the community, a symbol of vigilance and of aspiration. So at year ' s end THE CAMPANILE represents the student body of Belmont as a record of the year gone by — a view of the ter- ritory covered, a survey of the activities engaged in, an appraisal of achie ments attained. It welcome u lo n ,.

Our school slogan for lost year was The Pursuit of Excel- lence; this year it is Accepting our Responsibility. Together they make accomplishment possible. The members of the 1961 classes can best tetl you it was worthwhile, for they are the students who stayed in school and met their responsibility to society, to family, and to themselves to be well prepared for the world into which they will enter after high school.

The Officers and Commissioners headed committees for Social Afairs, Assemblies, Finance, Student Relations, Campus, Athletics, Pub- licity, Clubs, and Student Court. Each Grade Representative worked with a group of Tribunes in a particular area of school life. THE STUDENT BODY BUDGET WAS NICREASED by a successful Rag and Paper Drive under the leadership of Student Council, whose members also earned money for the Student Body by sorting this year ' s I.D. pictures. Noon movies and noon dances, conducted with the help of sponsoring clubs, were additional of income provided through student activities. S.WE8ERG, V.IZUMI, MISS POOR sponsor.

By their ability to work successfully as a class, the Athenians have succeeded in attaining most of the goals they have set. The Athenian Cabinet was responsible for the planning and sponsoring of all the Athenian events and activities: Sweater Day, Sucker Day, Field Day, Senior Prom, Class Day, and the Senior Breakfast. THE ATHENIANS RELIVED THEIR CHILDHOOD on Senior Sucker Day, as dressed in juvenile finery they had an all-out time. The next event on 4he Senior Calendar was Field Day: the Athenians made a brave showing in the traditional activities of Egg-throwing, Balloon- busting, Basketball, Girls ' Football, and The Relay. One of the final events, an event long to be remembered for its fun and glamor, was the Senior Prom. THE ATHENIAN CLASS OF ' 61 now bids farewell to the school which it has served with devotion for three glorious years, and wishes Belmont continued success in the production of fine scholars and fine citizens.
