But first, we want you all to know How very grieved we are to go: For tho, we've waited for this day, We find it hard to break away. As Freshman. back in 725, VVe were active. peppy, and much alive. As Sophomores then, the following year Vile giggled and wasted much time I fear. As Juniors we had heaps of fun. But studied hard too,--there was work to be done And as Seniors we've lost none of our pep, Are we for Belvidere? YESl You BET! You under classmen, watch your step ln studies, music, sports, and pep. Take this advice from us who've learned That the finest victories are those youlve earned. So now uGoodbye . Our day is past, But thoughts of school will always last. And tho' we part this thing we know- VVe take sweet memories when we go. ALYCE J. CUTLER CLASS SONG-1928 QTO the tune of '4Among My Souvenirsnj There's nothing left our class Of High School days, now past, Oh, they have gone so fast In dear old Belvi High. But memories are dear, And though we're far or near, Wie know we'll always hear Of dear old Belvi High. High standards we'll uphold For the purple and the goldg W'e'll prove what we've heard told Of the worth of Education. As we go various ways, Our Alma Mater praise, VVe7ll think of Happy days In dear old Belvi High. XXTIRGINIA BERRY 50 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Wie, the Senior Class of Belvidere High School, in order to give a more perfect impression of our intelligence, establish a well defined goal for the underclassmen, insure our reputations stability, provide the ccmmon sense of the Freshmen, promote the general prosperity, and secure the future recommendations of the faculty. do ordain and establish the following as our first, last. and sole will and testament: Article 1. The Juniors we endow with our great knowledge of Shakespearian drama and our benign love for Burke. Article 2. To the Sophomores we leave our ability to make our Belvi payments so promptly and regularly. Article 3. To the Freshman we bequeath the old examination papers so en- deared to us and so necessary to their welfare. I. I, Helen Carver, being now unaffected by storms pertaining to the anguishes of the heart, do now will, bequeath. and transmit to Jean Rogers, a certain com- pact, ever-ready collection of literary works for answering the usual line of notes and so forth which are bound to come from the masculine pests, and this guarantees results. 2. I, Don Askin, leave one pencil, two inches long. with a well worn eraser. having hfteen teeth marks, to Art Blount to be used solely for writing notes in assembly. 3. I, Ray Atkins, in order to make my fellow classmen better understand my greatness of heart, do overthrow all rights to have my name read in the Honor Roll to anyone who feels he deserves it. Stand in line please. 4. I, Skipper', Brown, fully appreciating my quiet ability to always agree with my English teacher, do bequeath said accomplishment to Mahlon Albrecht. 5. I, Harold Daniels, do bestow the great duty of taking care of Ruth to one and only one organization,--the Faculty. 6. I, Kitty Garrigan, do hereby leave my dearest and best known ability, that of making English IV entertaining for my neighbors, to Nina Reser. 7. I, Viiilma Harned, do considerately bequeath my bold and aggressive manner of speaking to one sorely in need of it,wMyron Gross. 8. I, Jack Jones, realizing that my sprightly and dainty gait has been so much admired, out of my great kindness of heart, leave it to one, Taylor Decker. 9. I, Leo Lewis, regretfully leave the guardianship of Pauline Leitzell to Perry Bennett. IO. I Kenneth McCoy, bequeath my nice black hair to Neil Conley. 11. I, VVarren Updike, leave my well worn and beloved Burke's Conciliation to Budsy Berman. 12. I, Guss Ritter, leave my mind reading capacity to the faculty in order that they may gain a better knowledge of the intellect of the student body. 13. I, Allen Wiilletts, bequeath my surplus length of body to Darwin Baker. 14. I, Eddie Baker, leave my great and stirring stage voice to Lee Grimm. 15. I, Annie Ashington, do leave my orange and black sweater to Gertrude Tanner. 16. I, Maynard Pearse, having a certain charm over which I have exercised great care and attention and realizing that perhaps it might be of some little help to someone, do here, now and at this present time, begrudgingly hand over my uschool girl complexion to L'Pinky Bowley. 17. I, Leon Moss, bestow my shy and bashful personality upon Charles Slater and beg that it be carefully preserved. 18. I, Lucius Gilman, do part with my frail, weak little voice, the same to be divided equally among next yearls cheerleaders. 51 19. I, Hazel Pierce, do bequeath my memory book to a second year French student. to be read only during 4th period French Class, as requested by Miss Althaus. . 20. I, Charles Shattuck, I grant, will and bequeath my drum-major hat to Jesse Little to bring his stature up to normal. 21. Wie, Edith Sheley, Alice Cutler, and Violet Jukes bequeath our reserved seats in the Herbert Special to the future Herbert students attending B. H. S. 22.

VVC, Clark Bryden and Marjorie Van Epps, as authors of this great example of grammatical effort and perfection, do assign the entire document to the future students to be used as a model and highest ideal of literature. Signed MARJORIE xiAN EPPS CLARK BRYDEN CLASS HISTORY I Our first steps were taken, fAs our knees were fairly shakingl To good old Belvidere High School's door In the fall of twenty-four. One hundred forty-eight bashful freshies we Earnestly longing to gain a bit from the Knowledge tree. The initiation by upper classmen tried Wvas by us all nobly survived. To keep our class from falling down, VVe unanimously chose President, Irving Brown, With Virginia Berry as capable vice, Under Mrs. I,aing's much valued advice. Catherine Garrigan kept the books, And Askin guarded the money from crooks. A 'WVeary VVillie party at which Haffey took the prize Wvas held, and thus ended for us our first enterprise. II In September of twenty-tive Ninety-one were back ready to strive Toward the goal which we longed to gain. Brown again we chose to guide us to fame. Berry, Garrigan, and Van Epps were elected To substitute, keep the books and money protected. With Miss Phillip,s counsel profound We were brought through our Sophomore year safe and sound. 9 A masquerade HalloWe'en party was decided upon, At which the clowns and Witches had oceans of fun. On the Honor Roll We Were Well represented, And Berry and Shattuck captured most prizes presented. After conquering Caesar's battles famous And solving the network of mathematics, June was just around the door And We had a short vacation once more. HI Seventy-six jolly Juniors were heralded again Gaily by September winds to the daily routine. ' Charles Shattuck was selected our leader. And the choice could not have been better, Wlith Garrigan, Carver, and Culver at his right hand, VVe were kept safely on the land. Miss Lindquist, our adviser and admirer, Always guided us and praised us higher. Although we worried over the stiff sciences 'We managed to keep in the alliances. Several of our boys were band members And helped to bring back the honors In class Bw of the State contest Vlvhich, you all agree, was quite a test. Wie Juniors now felt ready To advance to Seniors, wise and steady. IV As Father Time hurriedly passed by. Seventy-seven Seniors were back again to try To complete our high school career Vlihich we will later look back upon as dear. VVe again elected Charles Shattuck as captain Of his ability to guide us we Were certain, Atkins, Garrigan, Culver were also recognized And with Mr. Garrett's assistance We were again organized Our reception. banquets, and play Have been successful in every Way. Wlith the Glee Club setting the pace And the Band bringing back second place Commercial, Literary contests Were entered On choral, and essay contests our members also centered. Our boys, our athletic teams have aided, Their success in our high school's memories will be lauded. And now our high school days are nearly over And as We wander the wide World over, It would not be unkind of us not to think Of the teachers who helped to keep us off the brink, And Mr. Garrett deserves a great deal of praise Because of his faithful guidance in our high school days. And now we can truthfully say, without doubt That Belvidere High Schoolis training will help us win out. 53 STATISTICS Wie take great pride indeed in presenting the celebrated and illustrious members of the class of IQ28 to the public. IVe feel it beyond our power to add or detract from their glory. The highest scholastic honors go to Charles Shattuck and Virginia Berry. They are our valedictorian and salutatorian. If age indicates wisdom, Edith Sheley should be exceedingly wise for she is the oldest member of the class. Doris Lawrence has viewed the glories of the world the shortest length of time and is therefore the class baby. Most of us agree upon the choice of Annie Ashington as our class Venus. Vying with her in good looks is Glen Conkling, our Apollo. We expect before long to learn that Ira Ackerman. our class jester, has sup- planted Charlie Chaplin in fame. Dorothy Zeyher has greatly aided Mr. 'Wrigley in making his millions judging from the deposits on the assembly seat which she occupies. She has been chosen our champion gum-chewer. Greece had her Hercules, and the class of 1928 has its Clifton Willis. He is our star athlete. The lofty ambition of Ray Atkins seems to be to flnd a short way to Heaven. If this is Ray's ambition, what is Kenneth McCoy,s, our class dwarf? Doris Lawrence is the class heavyweight. Hazel Pierce follows the Wiles of Dame Fashion. She is our best-dressed girl, while -lack Jones is our best-dressed boy. In the assembly, in the halls, and in the classrooms VVilliam Early has been seen idling away his time for four years. He is rightfully called our class loafer. Our favorite vehicle is the 1928 Ford. Our best dancers are Berneita Schultz and Curtis Tobin. Because this year the Seniors won the cup in the interscholastic tournament, we are not surprised that basketball is the favorite sport of the class. Our favorite authors are Shakespeare, Zane Grey, and O. Henry. Hazel Cunningham is our class flirt, but as yet she has been unsuccessful in impressing her charms upon Boyd Richart, our woman-hater. Mary Carol San- ford, the man-hater of the class, has withstood the bewitching glances of our sheik, Don Askin. Kathryn Ray by her Winsome personality has won the place as the most popular girl. Charles Shattuck, who for two years has been our president, is undoubtedly our most popular boy. Miss Nagler, due to her cheerful and pleasing ways, has almost unanimously been chosen our favorite teacher. There is no doubt in our minds that La Verne Brown is the most argumentative member of the class. As the class of 1928 leave the portals of their dear Alma Mater we hope they may carry with them the success which they have achieved and enjoyed in High School. ' CLASS PROPHECY Scene: General Office of Gilman 8: Hull. Time: 1957. Conference between the two general managers in preparation of a Class Direct- ory. Verna Hull-Well, Iive got all the records of the girls, have you looked up the boys? Lucius GilmankYes, I'm all set. VVho's first in alphabetical order? I guess Ira Ackerman is. VVell, he and Roy Ackerman started as owners of a grain elevator -4 in Belvidere. Their business prospered so that they joined the Chicago Board of Trade and now they have such a control on the wheat market that they can cause the price of bread in China to go up. V. H.-Annie Ashington is running a beauty parlor. You know she always believed that some were born to beauty and others had it thrust upon them. L. G.-Don Askin and Eddie Baker are running a drug store. Their specialty, as in High School days, is pleasing the young ladies. Ray Atkins and Bud VVoods are vaudeville artists. At present they are making a tour playing piccolo duets. V. H.iEvelyn Barney has become superintendent of the orphan's home at Herbert, and Virginia Berry is doing well too. You know last fall she became Dean of Women at Annapolis. Poor Florence Bounds certainly has a hard jobi she's head nurse at the asylum in Elgin. L. G.-Hadn't you heard about Skipper', Brown? VVhy. he was elected to the U. S. Senate and after his first day there, they passed a rule limiting a member's speech to one hour. Clark Bryden and Maynard Pearse so illustrious in Civics class, have formed a law concern and specialize in breach of promise and divorce cases. Their motto is Don't use a sash weight but call us insteadf' V. H.-Romona Bullard is manager of the Greasy Spoon Tea Roomw on route I73. Ina Burton always loved flowers so now she's running a green house out West in Death Valley. Helen Carver has given up being a gym instructor and has turned adviser for Women farmers. L. G.--Merrill Shattuck is a prize fight promoter in Australia and has spent four years trying to sign up Nelson Cole against a Kangaroo but '4Battling', Cole had such a reputation that as yet the Kangaroo has refused to meet him. Glen Conkling became so accustomed to riding on the Interurban each day that, out of pure loneliness has bought the line after leaving school, and as President can now ride to his heart's content. V. H.-Nina Culver, Hazel Cunningham and Alyce Cutler are up north- teaching aesthetic dancing to the Eskimos. L. G.-This is an unusual one. Due to a misunderstanding, Harold Daniels became a woman hater just after leaving school and turned hermit. So far, he has Written three volumes of a book WIhy Young Men Should Leave VVomen Alone. VVilliam Early and Maynard Graham are playing as soloists in Lloyd Johnsonls New York orchestra. He calls them his Red Hot Icelanders. V. H.-Vivian Erickson is selling tickets for our old class play The Passing of the Third Floor Back . You know it is still running with the original cast at the Palace Theater in Hunter. So Catherine Garrigan, Virginia Berry, Nina Culver, Kathryn Ray, Marjorie Van Epps and Mary Carol Sanford are there too. Vivian Gibeaut is doubling for Mary Pickford, on account of her long curls. L. G.--Mark Grenlund has continued to run his bus line from Poplar Grove. He also takes in Capron and Caledonia. His manager is Mary Kagel. V. Hf-Willma Harned is selling Moss, Book on Etiquette. Mary Haffey and Berneita Schultz are together too. They are conducting the domestic science classes at Rockford College. Lillian Herbert is really our most talented member. I, suppose its hardly necessary to tell you that she has become a famous soprano. 'She sang over WTCB when Doris Lawrence announced the other night. Mary Hovde has certainly struck it rich-she invented a power fly swatter and is now making a tour of the world. L. G.-Darwin Huber is a scientist. He has spent several years gathering and compiling statistics to show the relationship of five aces to a lot of money and is now engaged in trying to show the relationship of a boy with a new ball and bat to a broken window pane. Jack Jones, search for brunettes, lead him to the South Sea Islands and I understand that when last heard from he was being held captive by the angry husband of one of his dark haired friends. On the other hand,CurtTobin's search for blondes leads him far and near looking for the place where they are the most numerous until now his address is Seventh Street, Rock- ford. D V. H.fViolet Jukes is the cross country aviatrix. She made that wonderful trip from Belvidere to Garden Prairie. Mary Kagel is in the dairy business near Poplar Grove. She's selling Holsteins for Profit. Dorothy Kock is a traffic cop on Grant Highway and Grace Koeneke is a Geography teacher. L. G.-Leo Lewis came back for a Hpost grad. course you know. VVell, one noon he tried to enter the building when all the studes were rushing madly forth and he was quite badly hurt. Someone at VVashington heard about it and Congress voted to award him the Congressional Medal for bravery. Dan Magee moved to Chicago right after being married but every time he tried to practice on his sax the neighbors entered a complaint. Finally he had to move into a boiler factory district. V. H.eHelen May is selling a cure for sleeping sickness. Last week she can- vassed Belvidere High and did very well, too. L. G.wKenneth McCoy, who took part in our Class play, has kept on acting and now he interprets the part of Romeo so dramatically that he is breaking all the Happers' hearts on Broadway. V. H.-Dorothy McGill is running a boarding house especially for the college students in Irene. L. G.-You remember Leon Moss and that he used to ride his bicycle to school each day? Wvell, all that practice stands him in good stead now as he has become a professional bike racer and is going to the Olympic meet with Americals team next year. Harold Moore started as Postmaster at Belvidere and has risen until now he is Postmaster Gen. in President Allen lVillett's cabinet. V. H.-Hazel Pierce - Pm sure you remember reading of her - became the first lady mayor of Russelville. L. G.- Boyd Richart is an example of how little you can tell about a person by his High School conduct. He was always peaceful enough in school but im- mediately after graduation he joined the Marines, went to Nicaragua, and gained such a reputation fighting that he was transferred to Chicago to fight the Cicero gangsters. And, oh, did you hear about Admiral Ritter? YVell, he does a little better than the common sailor and has two girls in every port. V. H.-Mildred Rydbom is manager of the Style Shop. She is the one who made brown such a favorable color for this season. L. G.-Floyd Schwartz has been travelling too. He went to Mexico and got a concession for furnishing Presidential candidates at 550.00 a piece. He is now a millionare. Charles Shattuck graduated from Chicago U. and was teaching in Chicago until he was fired one day when Big Bill Thompson learned that Charles had told his class that the English were a civilized race and not barbarians. V. H.-Edith Sheley is editor of the Rockford Morning Star. She has also promised to let all the class know of every Rockford-Belvidere basketball game. Verna Silvius is playing an accordian at the 'LThimble Theaterv. Daisy Smith is a dentist. Helen Somerville and Jessie VVeir are running a hot dog stand at the Boone County Fair Grounds. L. G.-lliarren Updike is the foremost basketball referee in New York City, and up to date has thrown Clifton lVillis out of three games for yelling too much. V. H.-Marjorie Van Epps is writing poetry for the Nutshell in her spare moments and Helen Vincent is the swimming instructor at Marshall Beach. Dorothy Zeyher is having the best time of all-she's driving 348 in the India- napolis races. A L. G.-YVell, that's all of them. VVe should have the books all printed and ready to distribute in a week, shouldn't we? V. H.-Yes, I think so. Oh my! here it is three oiclock and Pm due at the bank directors meeting in fifteen minutes. VVe'll have to cut this conference short and quit for today. I i 5 7 ALUMNI OFFICERS GEORGE SILVERMAN . .

Time was, when because of a river, there was a North Belvidere High School and a South Belvidere High School. In the year 1876 the first class was graduated from the South Belvidere High School and in 1877 the first class, from the North Belvidere High School, But, at last, in IQII the River was spanned by a mutual and friendly feeling and the Belvidere High School came into existence and in IQI3 the first class was graduated therefrom. Since that earliest time, many have been added to the family of what is now known as the Belvidere High School Alumni. In fact-me thinkssnot only those who have been given the little roll of parchment but all those who love this, their old High School, as their Alma Mater, are members of this great family -for alumni in its true sense, carries the thought of mutual love and respect for the old High School and for what it stood to them.

CSRIMM BROWN Q, ..,,, - KLEASNPIIQ 89 HEAVYWEIGHT TEAM The fact that only three regulars were back from last year's squad makes the present year,s record the more remarkable. The team had the Do or Die spirit which enabled it to go through the season with only two defeats, a feat not ac- complished by many former Belvidere teams. Belvidere won from Woodstock, Byron, Hononegah, McHenry and St. Thomas. The two defeats were suffered at the hands of Rockford and Rochelle. Rockford had, as it always has, a heavier, harder hitting team which the scrappy purple and gold couldnat overcome although our boys put up a great fight. Fumbles cost Belvidere its chance to Win from Rochelle. The tie game with Marengo was on a muddy field, in a drizzling rain and neither team was able to display its best form. Three veterans are lost to the squad this year: Brown, Ritter, and Schwartz, whose places will be hard to fill. Shaffer, a hard-hitting player will lead the purple and gold as captain next year. The First Team Lettermen are: Dorn, Ritter, L. Brown, S. Shaffer. Jury, Burnham, Blount, Stupfell, D. Grimm, C. Grimm, Burroughs, Schwartz, Kleasner, G. Miller, Gates, Decker, Spearing. The First Team Schedule: Belvidere Vlioodstock Belvidere Hononegah Belvidere Byron ..., Belvidere Rockford . Belvidere McHenry . Belvidere St. Thomas Belvidere Rochelle . . Belvidere Marengo . LIGHTWEIGHT TEAM The lightweighs had equally as successful a season as the varsity. They won four games, tied two, and lost only one, a fine record for any team. The lights had a fighting team and they gave their best, whether in practice against the varsity or against opposing lightweights in oflflcial games. Coach Peterson is to be congratulated in that his lightweights have lost only one game in the two years that he has coached them. This game was lost to Rochelle this season, only by a single touchdown, although the local lightweights put up a great iight to keep their record clean. The Second Team Lettermen are: Conley, L. Grimm, Vlatkins, Goranson, Gray, Kimmey, lVIcKeown, McKislci, Bucklin. McLain, Yanlflpps, Waugh, Jewell.

BASKETBALL This year IQ27-28 was another successful season in basketball for Belvidere High School. The squad was light but fast enough to overcome some of their larger opponents. The ten men of the first squad worked hard and they all had plenty of action to earn them their B,s . Although losing more games than last season, the purple and gold gave some classy exhibitions of basketball to two 'cBig Seven teams, namely Rockford, the Big Seven champ, and Freeport. Crane Tech, the championship five of the Chicago Prep League was also given a few pointers in the art of basket shooting. Rockford had defeated Belvidere early in the season on our so-called crackerbox floor by a score of 20 to 15, a comparatively close game for Rockford. In the return engagement on Rockford's large floor the Rabs thought their margin of victory would be much greater. However, the Belvidere athletes thought differently and covered themselves with glory in that they forced Rockford into an overtime period. The final score was 22 to zo in favor of Rockford. In both encounters with the strong Freeport five, Belvidere only lost by the margin of one or two baskets in the last few minutes of play. Belvidere expected anything but an easy game with Crane Tech, but the deter- mined B. H. S. five swamped the Chicago team by making baskets nearly every time they swept down the floor. The score was 37 to I3 for Belvidere. Belvidere entered the district tournament at DeKalb with no over-confidence because the bracket in which they played contained two of the strongest quintets in the tourney, Sycamore and Elburn. Waterman was met in the opening game for Belvidere and was defeated in a close game. Sycamore, the tourney favorite, was our next opponent and although Belvidere played a hard game we were out- played and defeated. Of the eleven men who earned their letters only four, Atkins, Schwartz. Jones, and Goranson will be lost to next yearis team. With the veterans left from this season's squad, Coach Ransdell should have a winning combination next year. The First Team Lettermen are: Present Captain Helsdon, a clever guard, Berman and Bowley, two of the fastest players ever developed at B. H. S., Schwartz, center and one of the mainstays of the team who played his first and last year this season, Dorn, a guard who always held his man down to a very few baskets, Stupfell, a promising Sophomore who showed up in great syle at the end of the season, Captain-elect Burnham, a dependable forward, Goranson and Atkins who always gave a good account of themselves when they played.
