If this sacrifice shall ever be even partly repaid-all the little worlds must become One World and live together in a single and enduring peace. To the United Nations Organization which is so unwaveringly striving toward this goal, we proudly dedicate The Clarion.

IN APPRECIATION The Clarion staff and the Class of '47 wish to thank everyone who has assisted us in making our book a success. We particularly wish to thank Miss Donnelly, Mr. Shelly, Mr. West, and Mr. Sterner for the un- tiring effort they put forth. Without their splendid cooperation this book would be only a dream instead of a reality. CLASS HISTORY We were anxious to start our new life at B.H.S., so in September 1943, we put on our Sunday clothes and set out on our four-year journey, happy but scared. It didn't take us long to get acquainted and to find the correct rooms-just a matter of a few months. We chose Doc Buchman to act as our guide on the beginning of this journey, Alan DePuy as our vice-president, Shirley Kostenbader to count the money and Margaret Read to keep the minutes of our monthly gatherings. Because the boys were so bashful we decided to hold a Leap Year dance and give the girls a chance. Not only was the dance successful, so were the girls. Now we were sophomores, and we went right to work initiating the freshmen. We again selected Doc Buchman as our president, Clayton Kosten- bader became vice-president and Shirley and Margaret continued their positions of treasurer and secretary. We kept up our social standing by giving our Foot- ball Hop, one of our most outstanding dances. Then came our junior year. This time we elected Curtis Marc as president, Leo Smith, vice-president, Liz Guiler, treasurer, and Doris Denker, secretary. We got off to a good start by giving one of the best-liked plays ever presented at B.H.S., Spring Green. We worked hard on the junior-Senior Prom, fC07llf?IllEd on Page jjj D0ris D Swrwaijlker off Erin R Tboifytivshi 4' nt I 'I P Vi . , effrsen 5 I .

STUDE T COUNCIL The Student Council, working in co-operation with the faculty and the entire student body is aim- ing toward better school spirit as one of the chief goals. The Student Council also handles certain school activities such as the magazine campaign, the student--handbook and the alumni game and dance which we hope to make an annual event in Belvi- dere High Several members have represented us at the Stu- dent Council conventions and we now hold mem- bership in the New jersey Association of High Sihool Councils. One of the purposes of the Student Council of utmost importance is that of developing student leadership, not only during our school years, but so that we may be dependable and worthwhile citizens ol our country. Along with the faculty assembly committee, I1 Student Council committee has helped to choose the assemblies this past year which have proved very successful. We hope to make this another yearly -roiect. The Student Council consists of members from each homeroom. One senator is elected for a full term of one year, while one representative serves half a year and may be reelected. The Student Council is an all-school group and not an exclusive body. All students should be in- terested and work together with this organization in order that its progress may be further insured in the future.

We shall never forget this evening as our hrst formalg we warned Mom to expect us home early fin the morn- ingj. Seniors at last! Finally made it! Tom Rinehart was chosen as president, Red Petersen was made vice-president, Keyte Gardner became treasurer, and Doris Denker was elected secretary. We presented our senior play What A Life which proved just as successful as our junior play. Finally came our trip to Washington, D. C. Not only was it very educational, but it was the most enjoyable undertaking in our high school career. We visited the Library of Congress, the Lincoln Me- morial, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and all the other interesting sites, including, of course, the Capitol Building, the Washington Monument, and the White House. These have been years of hard work, but they have also been years of happiness. We wouldn't- not any of us-give up our four years of high school for all the money in the world. We have learned how to live together and work together. We want to thank our advisers for all their efforts in our behalf in helping achieve the goal that we strove so hard to reach.

HELEN'S OWN DREAM HOME Dear Mabel: Well, jack and l have finally found our Dream Home, and are we thrilled! First we shopped the magazines, then we went to Ford's. With very few exceptions we found everything we needed. We're pretty proud of Belvidere for at Ford Furniture Stores, they seemed not to be satisfied until we had everything placed and had given it our okay. Can you see the big picture window in our living-room? We placed our love seat and a big wing chair so we can see the mountains. Why don't you and Bill run over Saturday for dinner? l'm just dying to have you see the new place. lncidentally, we surely recommend Ford's to you and jack, when it comes your turn to buy or build.
