SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE Congratulations to the BEAR Staff on a school and community approach for their 1960 yearbook. This is particularly significant for a community which continues to grow and develop far beyond anyone's dreams. Along with an unprecedented growth have come many knotty problems to both school and village officials — problems which you as high school students will face as residents of Bloomington in just a few years. Financing the construction of schools and staffing a faculty to give our youth a sound comprehensive education is but one facet. Providing storm and sanitary sewers, municipal water, adequate police and fire protection, are a few of the additional problems we must solve in a young and rapidly growing community. To meet these needs in an orderly manner there must be coordination and cooperation. Planning must be done wisely and carefully in order that we build a solid foundation for the future which will guarantee us excellent school facilities and a safe and clean city in which to live. My sincere congratulations to those who have been charged with the responsibility of developing this outstanding yearbook. The excellent photography and layouts, the accurate accounting of many activities, have truly captured the spirit of the Bloomington Senior High School. Hubert G. Olson, Superintendent page 12
