FE FLW Page Thirty CLASS HISTORY N September of 'twenty-six, we, one hundred sixteen of the very greenest Freshmen, entered Belvidere High School. Full of fear and doubt concerning our immediate futures, we tremulously followed the example of the upper classmen. Observing that they chose four leaders, we likewise called a class meeting and chose Slater, Tullock, Ray, and Johnson. The faculty advisers, Miss Tripp, Miss Sillar, and Mrs. Carpenter, aided us in every possible way. We survived the initiation which was planned for us by the thoughtful Senior Class. It was proved that day that we had some very outstanding singers, readers, dancers, and even adept readers of the French language. We enjoyed two parties and later in the year entered our candidate, Pauline Leitzell, in com- petition for the popularity contest. After a few jolts received because of our scant knowledge of the rules of B. H. S., we began to profit by our experiences and to take a greater' interest in the daily routine of school life. Although we were represented in intermural activities, we ranked near the bottom of the list. Never-the-less all hope was not lost, for had not other clas- ses previous to ours, found themselves in the same position? Our class cheer leaders were chosen: Short and McLain. It became their duty to cheer us on through all the stages of school life in Belvidere High School. TIMES as much enthusiasm was displayed at the beginning of the term of twenty-seven as had been apparent during the preceding month of May. Silly Sophomores we were, but just the same we were ready to start the next period of our High School careers. Our former fear was forgotten: and we were ready and anxious to impress upon the incoming Freshmen that we, because of our year's experience were far superior to them. Little did we realize the contrast between ourselves and those still higher than we. Again we chose our leaders. This time Blount, Stupefell, Ray, and Slater, with Miss Phillips as general adviser. Now we offered our candidates for the varsity teams: nor have Bucklin, Blount. Stupe- fell, Galbeck, Grimm, or Gray failed to uphold our reputation. In attempeting to set an ex- ample, we often lived up to the title Silly , DEWU Q Page Thirty-om TIMES now we have registered for a course in Belvidere High School, and three times have commenced enthusiastically to place the class of IQKO at the head of the list. A Junior meeting was called: we elected Shattuck, Blount, Little, and Tanner: and with Miss Lindquist's aid we felt that our chances for success were very promising. Time had wrought changes, and our class now numbered only eighty-two: but they still held their former pep. During our third year appeared a new honor for our class in the person of an orator. Don Grimm. Pew classes can boast of such a speaker. Not only was Don our speaker, but he was also our best all-round student. Belvidere High School granted to him the greatest honor given by the school, that of receiving the mantle. Somerville now rose to promi- nence as a cheer leader, and many members of class now achieved prominence in the band, or- chestra, and glee club. Harold Luhman brought us the honor of the National Bassoon Cham- pionship, and the Band returned with the National Championship. This year, also, we enjoyed the Tri-Class party put on by the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. We also gave the Junior-Senior Prom as the final contribution of our Junior year. N the lirst day of our final year in high school, eighty very proud and expectant Seniors occupied the front section of the east half of the auditorium. They expected, and rightly l believe, the respect and admiration of the three lower classes. Had they not labored in studies, athletics, and social activities to gain their exalted and long desired place? With their leaders: Grimm, Shattuck, Cratty, Hill, and Mr. Garrett's able guidance, they started jubilantly on the last lap of the road leading to graduation. Many difli- culties were yet to be overcome such as English literature, American history, and foreign langu- ages. Our representatives had made themselves noteworthy in the varsity squads for football, basketball, and baseball. Our classmates had ranked high in scholarship, and our musicians had covered themselves with glory . This year it was our lot to welcome the newcomers, both students and faculty, at the Senior reception. It is with regret that we look back over our high school days. As we see June approaching, we realize that with it must come gradu- ation. We know that then, when we must leave Belvidere High School and make our place in the world, we will regret to part with our valued friends of high school days. -ELIZABETH MUNDELL Gfeovge.

Ah, it was a great dayg and on this Hrst day of my existence, every- thing was horrifyingly new and strange. I was so proud. yet so frightened: for it seemed that everyone was looking at me. But gradu- ally this ridiculous alarm passed, and I became more accustomed to my dear family. Shortly, my big sister, the Seniors, made her debut. And oh, how grand! They in- vited me, The Freshmen. It was the first noteworthy event in my young life, and that made it the most important. Of course. being so young, I couldn't join in the fun to a very great extent: but I certainly felt honored. Just think, my first party! fThe Senior Receptionj I grew, ah yes I grew very fast, developing mentally: for I was already quite large physi- cally. Yes, I even discovered my main senses? I knew what thinking was and my device for that purpose was Lorraine Laws: and closely connected with that was sight, brought about by Harold Carver. Then, too, there was hearing in which Ray I-Ioye played the im- portant role. Wallace Ray assisted in touch. Dorothy Bush was general assistant, I learned very quickly with the able assistance of my governesses: Misses Sillar, Harris, Johnson, and Phillips, who attempted to teach me the vital things of life-English, Algebra, Latin, and I-Iistory. I had an especial nurse, too?- IVIrs. Carpenter. My own first party, and it was a great success! for 'twas then I learned to dance. And since then ohl how I've danced at all of the rest of the parties. There was a costume party-contest, an an- nual occurrence in the family: and I won, mine being an especial design called Edith Berman. This costume won another larger prize later. CBooster Carnivaljl I began to take up special things besides my studies. There were sports KG. A.

A little pet came to us to whom we were especially at- tached-our squirrel, Nutty Bumppo. But the worst trouble my dear mother and father CMiss Lindquist and Mr. Garrettl had was to keep up my calories Creport cardsj. At first, being new, I kept them up top- notch: but gradually I began to let them slump, Iinding more interesting things to occupy my time. But soon, yes, very soon I realized that I must be more strict: for Daddy began to look into the affair. Con- soled by the conclusion that the first hundred years are the hardest, however, I plodded on. My family chose Louise Gallop and Frank Griswold as the peppiest Ccheer leadersj. Thoroughly convinced of the utter use- lessness of trying to concentrate in such lazy weather as was in June, I took a long vacation- SECOND YEAR: --only to resume the destined curricu- lum formed by English Cagainj, Geometry, Caesar, and Biology: my governesses this time were Misses Clogston, Fellows, Blackburn, and Mrs. Carpenter. CAnd oh, how we struggled under the loadlj Page Thirty-three I substituted new and more sophisticated names for my senses this year: Harold Car- ver, Dixon Moorehead, Edith Berman, and Maynard Thorpe, with Lorraine Laws as assistant. At last! I was recognized by my elders and was invited to help sponsor a party on equal terms with them - The Tri-Class Party. Having grown older I was also allowed to travel somewhat: in conjunction with my music I went to Chicago and then to Denver: and with the commercial department there were out-of-town contests in which I won honors. I undertook to enter in regular Football and Basketball-Waugh and Jewell being outstanding: Jesse Little was a clever mascot. The Scoop, a family record, was revived again, and I was represented by Nathalie Lang and Harold Carver. This year there was another social event- Stunt Nite in which I competed, and tho' I didn't win a prize I found it very interest- ing. Doris Comstock and Robert McLain were my representatives. In our costume contest this year, I didn't win: my costume was Lorraine Laws. I undertook something new this year, the U3 EM! U Page Thirty-four Girls' I-Ii-Y, in which I was represented by Louise Rossi, Maxine Catlin. and Genevieve Davey. I had my same dear governess this year, Mrs. Carpenter. She certainly helped me considerably, especially when I attempted to give another yearly party. It was then, too, that Jay Wiltsie, my babiest appendage, became so outstanding as an orator. Again having contracted the epidemic of spring fever, I began a term of swimming, picnicking, etc. THIRD YEAR: Again returning home, I set out to laugh my way through a new course: for now I was The Jolly Juniors . Outstanding there were English, Journalism, Public Speaking, French, Solid Geometry, and Chemistry governed by Misses Bowman, and Pope, Clogston, Sievert, Rhoades, Fellows, and Mr. Benson. This year I discovered Genevieve Davey, Jack Bellamy, Edith Berman, and Dixon Moorhead, with Ferol Bahr as assistant. And 'twas then that I undertook to enter the commercial world: I sold candy bars, paper. and pencils. I purchased my first piece of jewelry-Junior Class rings. For the second time I participated in a Tri- IContinued on Page 352 JUNIORS I ROW I.-Dixon Moorhead, Pauline Stupfell, Maynard Thorp, Ferrol Bahr, Edmund Stevenson, Louise Rossi, George Schiltz, Marion Brown, Clark Williams, Doris Brooks, Olney Wheeler, Edith Berman.

It was a great event and everyone had a marvel- ous time. I enjoyed the Senior Reception very much this year, too, because I was grow- ing up now and could join in with more vim. We almost had a new building added to our home, but it was voted down: so we are compelled to remain cooped up in the same one. I have one very noted appendage who, by his very vigilant basketball playing, has be- come known as One-Round-Wheeler . I'm awfully proud of him, and also of Bob Waugh.

Our dislike for them was increased by their taunts and remarks about our intelligence. No Freshman, how- ever calm, can be entirely oblivious of per- sons Who are constantly irritating him. But now that we are Sophomores, we've changed our minds. We understand now the reason for our prejudice of last year. Here it is. There seems to be nothing particular for a Soph to do except to study and razz the Freshmen. Not being very enthusiastic about the former, we spend most of our time per- fecting ourselves in the latter art. lt isn't that we Want to have them for enemies, just that they are the only teasable group in the High School. The Juniors are much too wise, and the Seniors are quite too superior to be disturbed by anything We might say. Hence, we concentrate on the Freshmen.

Already some of our members are displaying outstanding talents in the various activities of the school. When the first days of school came, we were unaccustomed to the ways of the high school. However, it didn't take us long to become familiar with them. There were some very ridiculous and humiliating mis- takes made by some of us. One boy was eagerly inquiring as to the whereabouts of the gym when a teacher rescued him on the third floor after he had consulted one of the Seniors. Then came the day of our Fresh- man initiation. If we had been less sure of ourselves, we probably would have been thoroughly embarassed by the maneuvers through which we were forced to go. Soon after the beginning of school, a meet- ing of the class was held, and the class officers were elected and the cheer leaders, nominated. We chose the following: Gail Perkins, president: Ruby Downing, vice-president: Elizabeth Kleber, secretary: and Florence Richardson, treasurer. From the group of cheerleaders nominated Frank Conley and Gilbert Ray, two very peppy ones, were chosen to represent the class. Have you noticed how everyone cheered for them when they came out on the gym floor at the basket ball games? From the first day our class has been en- thusiastic in every branch of school enterprise. The class members of the Booster Club have worked all through the year to make each club event successful. Octavia Corson sold the most football tickets for the season. In musical activities the Freshman Class is GAIL PERKINS, President RUBY DOWNING. Vive-Ilresidenr lfl.lZABlE'liH KLITBER, Seffelclry D -.., ILW FLORENCE RICHARDSON. Treasurer U amply represented. Glancing over the faces in the band and orchestra, we see many of our members-boys and girls, too. The membership rolls of the two Glee Clubs in- clude the names of many freshmen. The class has some pride in its scholastic record. Each month there is a substantial list of freshman names on the honor roll read before the school assembly. A surprisingly good record has been made by the boys in athletics. Many of our boys are on the heavyweight and lightweight foot- ball teams. They also seem to show a great deal of good spirit and skill in basketball. Lester C Red Q Cunningham was the only man of the team to be given the honor of holding a place on the district team. He is the outstanding athlete of our class. Speaking of initiations, the G. A. A. was a terrorizing one. We were sent on long walks to accomplish amazingly foolish things -even to inquire the price of mashed pota- toes per peck! Then, when we returned to Page Forty-one the high school, we were blindfolded and led through the food laboratory. There we were forced to eat cold and squirmy spaghetti, raw eggs, onions, and salt water. We also had to put mystic signs on our faces with lampblack and flour, but we had a worse time removing them. At the Senior Reception and the Senior- Freshman Theatre Party we verdant ones were acquainted with some of the customs of Belvidere High, but, nevertheless, we all had a splendid time. We especially made merry at the Freshman party, as some of the more timid freshies were not favored by the august gaze of the upperclassmen. During the early part of the evening, we played games: and after consuming loads of Eskimo pies, almost everyone danced. As we review our achievements, we Fresh- men are confident that we have made a place for ourselves in the machinery of the school. +-BETH HERBERT I cilxjyg ff Page Forty-two FRESHMEN Row l.-Robert Gross, Elvira Larson, Whit- man Taylor, lsla Gamlin, Gerald Anderson, June Ernst, Charles Lewellyn, Viola Ratlield, Gilbert Ray, Wendell Wheeler, Roberta Griflith, Mildred Bremer, Everett Hammond.

As the west- ward bound train slowly rolled away from that crowd of loyal Belvidere boosters. with their shouts and cheers. a hope sprang in the breasts of the boys. who were carrying the name of Belvidere High to a distant State, This hope seemed to sayn- May we do our best . That first dinner on the traingchicken a la king. roast leg of veal. apple pie4yum. yum. we taste it yetf That first stop at Clinton. Iowa. where we changed engines. and all took advantage of the stop to run up and down the platform to stretch ourselves? That stop at Boone. where different ones made a rush for the mail-box. to see who could get the first letter home! That first night on the sleeper-we were ready for sleep at nine o'clock. and many. to whom the experience was novel. were anxious to crawl into their berths. The recital next morning of the kicks each had received the night before was the main topic of con- versation. We had soon passed through the country of rolling plains. and every one was peering through the windows to get his first glimpse of the foothills and of Denver beyond. Those were exciting hours while we were going Page Fifty-seven through the rehearsals and the try-outs. On Friday we were told that we were among the five bands to play off the finals that evening. and what a long wait that was from Friday night to Saturday night. waiting for the results. Finally at 11:30 Mr. Tremaine announced that Belivdere had captured second place. A groan from the Belvidere section in the audience was distinctly audible. then the announcement was modified by the addition that we had captured first place among the public high school bands. Sunday morning brought the climax of our trip. After Saturday night's announcement. we were sitting on top of the world. and now we were literally to climb to the top of the world. Up Pikes Peak by auto and down by cog-rail. encountering a blizzard on the way. a view from the top of that faithful peak. the Garden of the Gods. and the Cave of the Winds. and finally. a steak dinner at Manitou. We were ready for the trip home. When we reached DeKalb. every one was up and anxious to reach Belvif dere. anxious to express our thanks to all those who had made possible such a trip. anxious to add our captured trophy to the many others in the trophy case. anxious to see the home people and narrate the events of the week. Not so many years ago a trophy from the West was a buffalo skin. In those days who would have dreamed that Director Gates and his boys would come home with a trophy won at a National Band COFIIESI. - eRAYMOND KEELFR Top Row: Corson. W. Wheeler. J. Bischoff.

Page Fifty-n The members pay dues amounting to twenty-live cents a semester: this money is used to promote various worthy enterprises. Plans were made at the beginning of the year to enter the State Literary and Musical Contests, which are held at DeKalb: but due to an unforseen incident, the organization was obliged to give up this enterprise. The club has given several concerts in con- junction with various other musical organiza- tions, and a quartette of boys from the club has made a name for itself in the community. The boys, this year, have really worked: and next year it is hoped that the Boys Glee Club will be a prize winning organ- ization. ITN' Top Row: Miller, Jensen. Peterson, Hawes. Row 3: Dearth. Veaco.

Page Sixty-om The Junior Cilee Club is under the capable direction of Miss Velma Streeter and is or- ganized on the same principles as the Senior Cilee Club. The purpose of this organization is to prepare those girls who are interested for work in the 'Senior Glee Club and to make it easier for the instructor to choose the girls, who are qualified for work in the ad- vanced glee club.

Under Miss Sievert's capable direct- ing, the play was very successful financially and otherwise. The business of the play, staging, handling of properties and advertis- ing was handled by members of the class. The proceeds proved suflicient to finance all literary activities of the year. STORY OF THE PLAY Charlie Denton, bookkeeper, is very much in love with Nonie Galloway, stenographer, also employed by Joseph Wescott, racing car manufacturer, whose company is about to go on the rocks. Jimmy Wescott, much in love with Barbara Allison, private secretary, de- sires to drive his father's car in the races but finds rough sailing because of financial dis- tress. Samuel Harris, wealthy friend of Wescott's is about to loan the money but Barbara intercedes informing Harris that Wescott is a crook, having fleeced her father of his life savings years ago. During the hectic momnets the Wescott Company goes on the rocks, the many affairs of Margie Rensler, flapper, and Horace Townsend, pre- tended aristocratic Englishman, and the sub- tractions from Jimmy's attention to Barbara, by Evelyn Foster, aristocratic girl, serve to relieve the tension. All ends well when Jimmy wins the race after the big splash Barbara made. CAST or CHARAc3'ruRs Ruth McQuown Lola Page Edith Spencer George Strawn Jay Wiltsie Harold Carver Doris Comstock Arthur Hawes Davis Hill EW Il HTHE TIGHTWADM The annual senior class play under the able direction of Mrs. Greenslit, was presented on May sixteenth at the Apollo Theatre by the Class of '3o. Much of the success of the play is due to the efforts of the executive staff which consisted of: Charles Slater, business manager: Wilbur Laurent, advertising mana- ger: XVilliam Corson. assisted by John Bis- choff, stage managers: and Edward Berman, assisted by Ray Fitch, Wayne Wheeler, Ray- mond Bucklin, and Philip Letts. took care of the properties. The play chosen for production was Robert Keith's three-act comedy, The Tightwad . The action is centered about the home of John Taylor a middleclass book- keeper of Quincy, Illinois. Edna Taylor, his daughter, becomes worried when her sweet- heart, Tommy Jordan, spends his money as fast as he gets it: and by gentle persuasion she induces him to save so that when they are married, they need not worry over money matters. The results of her plan so far ex- ceed expectations that the spendthrift Tommy is transformed into a penny-pinch- ing tightwad. Edna breaks off her engage- ment with him when he wants to pawn her Page Sixly-lhrct engagement ring, and for a while things look pretty black for Tommy. However he re- deems himself and is reinstated in the favor of Edna and the family. Having experienced both extremes of spendthrift and tightwad, he now strikes a happy mediumn: and the story ends well for all concerned. The fine dramatic parts and abundant humor make the play one of the best produced by any senior class of B. H. S. THE CAST IS AS FOLLOWS: John Taylor ....,. ......

H. S. This year. it was found that inter-scholastic debating is included among the numerous activities of the North Central Conference of which Belvidere is a member. Belvidere, DeKalb. Dixon, and Rochelle entered teams. The question, which proved to be rather com- plex, was one of wide interest. It was stated, Resolved, that the expansion of the chain store systems is detri- mental to the best interests of the American people . Three dual debates were held, enabling the teams from each school to meet all other schools entered. A new system of judging was used, that of a single critic judge. Debate coaches from colleges and univer- sities were the judges of the various debates. The critic judge gave and justified his decision by making general criticisms before the audience. He then met with the teams and gave specific criticisms. These criticisms proved very valuable to the debaters and, for that reason. the critic judge system is believed to be better than the old form of three judge decisions. Belvidere's affirmative team came through with honors, losing only one decision. They won from DeKalb and Rochelle and lost their last debate to Dixon's negative team in a hotly contested clash. The members of this team were Jay Wiltsie, Lola Page, George Strawn. and Ruth lVlcQuown. alternate. George Strawn and Ruth lVlcQuown are seniors and have concluded their public speaking work for Belvidere High School, Jay Wiltsie. The little man with the big voice , and Lola Page have another year in which to gain laurels for B. H. S. in the debating field. The affirmative team was coached by Miss Sievert, head of the public speaking department. Her work with the debaters and public speaking contestants this year has won our admiration and deep appreciation. Miss Sievert, Jay Wiltsie. Ruth lVlcQuown, George Strawn, Lola Page. NEGATIVE TEAM The negative team. inspired by the untiring effort of their coach, Miss Phillips, came through the season undefeated. This was the only team in the conference to gain that enviable record. The debaters who upheld the negative side of the question were Louise Gallop. Betty Shattuck. Don Grimm. with John Hamill as alternate. Don Grimm and Betty Shattuck are members of the graduating class and this is their last year of high school debating. Don. the only experienced debater on either team. was generally recognized as one of the most able speakers in the conference. Louise Gallop and John Hamill are juniors and will be back for further debate work next year. By winning five decisions out of six. Belvidere was awarded the championship for debate in the North Central Conference and the school was presented with Page Srxly-Htl a handsome plaque. DeKalb was second, with three decisions. Dixon and Rochelle each won two of their debates. Before Belvidere's schedule started. the students and townspeople were privileged to hear the women varsity debaters of Northwestern University and Oberlin Col- lege. participate in an open-forum discussion of install- ment buying. The student body showed an unlooked-for interest and enthusiasm in the debate work this year. This was gratifying since it was further evidence that Belvidere High School's interests are numerous and varied. With four experienced debaters coming back next year, the outlook is excellent for another successful year. Debate experience is a valuable asset to a student and it tends to develop him in many lines. including speech. stage appearance. and poise. The field of acti- vity has been broadened this year. We hope that it will be developed even further in the future. Louise Gallop. John Hamill. Miss Phillips. Don Grimm. Elizabeth Shattuck. X 'W-. .

The regular business meetings were held semi-monthly at the high school. The social meetings were held on the third Tuesday of every month, and consisted of suppers and parties. At the suppers an outside speaker was the guest of the organization. The purpose and aim of the Girls' Hi-Y is to set an example in clean living, clean speech, clean sportsmanship, and clean athletics, and to uphold a friendly and Christian spirit among the members.

It sponsored the annual Chirstmas Corridor Carnival with a marked degree of success. It also introduced the Homecoming foot- ball game and dance, which proved to be very popular. A snake dance through the business district on the evening previous to the game was one of the highlights of the occasion. The general enthusiasm displayed over this event has promised to make it an annual affair. Membership to the B Club is limited to those earning major or minor letters. An appropriate intitiation is given each member upon entrance. A dance is held each spring in honor of the alumni members of the club. The B Club members perform valuable services for the school.

Their football and basketball ticket sales were on the increase. break- ing last year's record. Two members who proved par- ticularly outstanding as ticket sellers were Dick Gray and Floyd Neff. Carrying out their usual program, the club took charge of a number of pep assemblies before important games. The banquets sponsored by the Boosters for the football and basketball teams proved unusually successful. Variety. in the form of string confetti. balloons. carnival hats. and popular songs. lent charm to the basketball banquet. lfinding themselves in need of financial means. the Boosters added an attraction to their list of social events. the Booster dance to which all students and alumni were invited for a small admission fee.

The officers for the past year were Dick Ciray. Presi- dent: Lorraine I.aws. Vice-President: Betty Shattuck. Secretary: and Mildred Short. Treasurer. The faculty adviser was the athletic coach, Mr. Breckenfeld. The main objective of the Booster Club is to back B. H. S. athletics.

To be eligible for membership in the Booster Club. a student must be wide awake and loyal. and he must be carrying at least three subjects.

In the spring of IQ20, we signed our engraving contract with the Pontiac Engraving Company of Chicago: and during the summer vacation the five beautiful views in our scenic section. which is an en- tirely new feature, were taken by Mr. Baechle, who represents the engraving company. In the fall when we returned to school, our work began in earnest. After signing our printing contract with Stewart Y5 Hammerich of DeKalb, we felt greatly relieved and started to plan our book. With our national championship band as the theme and the senior class colors for our color scheme. We set out to work for the goal of a better book at the same price . Our subscription drive was quite successful in that we re- ceived about four hundred subscriptions, Each person subscribing has the privilege of either paying two dol- lars for his book at one time or making monthly pay- ments of twentyefive cents each. The latter choice is more often made as it is not so hard on the pocketbook. The Belvi each year is entered in a contest spona sored by the National Scholastic Press Association . The Belvi Staff each year is a member of this organiza- tion and receives monthly a very interesting magazine called the 'Scholastic Editor . Last year the Belvi , whose editor was Rupert Downing, won a second class rating, which was a very good record in that the competition each year is becoming keener. This year we are again entering our book in the contest and will eagerly await the result. We sincerely hope that the staff of IQSO has met with your expectations in putting out a successful annual: and if in later years this book brings back as pleasant memories to you as it does to the staff as they recall their blunders and happy times, we will feel doubly paid for our efforts which were expended in producing this book.

The treasurer is elected from the faculty council. No pupil is allowed to serve as an officer for more than one semester. Each member of this chapter is entitled to wear the emblem adopted by the National Society. If at any time a member withdraws or is dropped from the chapter, he must return the emblem to the society. The constitution of the society may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the chapter, provided that the proposed amendment has been approved by the council and a notice to the members has been given at least one month previous to the meeting in which the amendment is to be voted upon. All amendments must be approved by the National Council. The National Honor Society was organized Febru- ary, 1928, and it has since proved to be a very popular and beneficial organization. The election to member- ship in this chapter is the highest honor which a student of Belvidere High School may receive. and many students strive to become eligible.

The aim of this organization is to promote among the high school boys who are athletes, the idea of scholarship, a desire for balanced training. to elevate the ideas of sportsmanship. and to develop more outstand- ing leaders. ' Membership in this organization is limited to the boys who have earned a letter in one of the four major sports or letters' in two minor sports. Their average in school work must equal the general average of the school for three consecutive semesters. They must also maintain the highest type of citizenship and sports- manship. The charter for this association was granted in May, 1927, to Belvidere High School in order to recognize more fully the unselfishness of the boys who in a T - EB sportsmanlike manner represent their school in athletics and who at the same time carry their school work successfully. ' Up to the time that the Belvi went to press. the new members in this association had not been elected. The following is a list of the old members: Edward Berman Arthur Blount .

Page Seventy-four ATHLETIC BOARD OF CONTROL The Athletic Board of Control is a very important unit of the Belvidere High School Athletic Associ- ation . The association is governed by a body, known as the Board of Control , which consists of ten mem- bers, including four faculty members, five students, and one school board member. The faculty members are: the principal. coach. and two other members who are elected by the faculty. The student members consist of the captain of the team in season, one letterman to be chosen by the lettermen in school, Also two students are chosen by the student body at an assembly held for that purpose. One of these students acts as secretary of the association and thus becomes secretary of the Athletic Board of Control. and the President of the Athletic Association. The President of the Board of Control is the High School Principal, The Treas- urer and Manager are members of the High School faculty. If the Athletic Board of Control deems it advisable. for the good of the school, to participate in any branch of athletics, the high school assumes these activities. This organization also awards all of the letters pertain- ing to athletics. The Athletic Board of Control has its duties defined in the Constitution of the Belvidere High School Ath- letic Association under article E, headed Board of Control . Upon the assent and approval of seven- tenths f7fIOl of the members of this organization. the Constitution may be amended: or any particular clause, annulled, provided that the proposed clause of amend- ment is on the table for at least one week. The faculty members this year are Mr. Garrett, Mr. Breckenfeld, Mr. Peterson, and Miss Clogston. Mr. Alfred C. Meyers represents the school board. The student members are Merle Spearing, Richard Gray, l.ee Grimm, Donald Grimm. and Bernard Kleasner. Top Row-Gray, Kleasner. Mr. Peterson. Spearing. D. Bottom Row-Mr. Breckenfeld, Mr. Garrett, Miss Grimm, L, Grimm, Clogston. Mr. Meyers. COACHES AND TRAINER The credit for the success of Belvidere in football. basketball. and baseball is due almost entirely to the Gne work of Coach Irving Breckenfeld. The fine record made by Mr. Breckenfeld during his high school and college days, and his experience as physical director at other schools made him especially capable of serving B. H. S. in a very satisfactory man- ner. To Coach Peterson much credit is due for the fine football team we produced. His past experience also meant much to the welfare of the ponies. Page Seven! y-Ht t Edward Berman. better known as Budzie . assisted in the development of the basektball ponies. His past four years' of high school basketball proved useful in training the Purple and Ciold Ponies . A very able student manager was chosen to serve as Coach Breckenfelds right-hand man. namely. Seabury Shaffer. one of Belvidere Highs best known students. Seabury played four years of high school football. serving as captain in his last year. Two years of intra- mural basketball. two years of track. and two years of class baseball were very valuable to Seabury in his suc- cess as student manager. Coach Assistant Coach Trainer reg mm ....... .LAS ID I age Seventy-six HEAVYWEIGHT 'TEAM To an outsider the 1929 football season for Belvi- dere may have seemed to have been a failure, but to those associated with the coach and players it was a success. Coach Irving Breckenfeld, who took the place of Coach Ransdell. had to start in with a new hunch of fellows. After getting acquainted with the boys he came through with the real stuff. The varsity team was rather handicapped because of a lack of weight in players, but what they lacked in weight they made up in fight and speed. A new style of football was intro- duced by Coach Breckenfeld, thus hindering the rapid development of the team at the beginning of the season but proving very satisfactory in the end. A good showing was made by Belvidere in the newly formed North Central Illinois Conference. Belvidere Hnished fourth place in a group of tive cities including: DeKalb, Rochelle, Sterling. Dixon. and Belvidere. Much is anticipated for next year when many of this year's players will be back fighting for the Purple and Gold. SUMMARY Belvidere . . 26 Walworth . . , 0 Belvidere . .

One thrilling game in which they defeated Rochelle 6-o deserves mention, lt was a closely rivalled contest and a battle from start to tinish, The superiority of the Belvidere boys was clearly indicated: they showed real stuff and played a real game. The lineup for Belvidere was: l,uhman and Bellamy. ends: Behling and Banks. tackles: Van Epps, center: Rhode, center: Dunbar. quarterback: Cunningham and Edmonds, half backs: and Strawn. fullback. The boys also did a great stunt Page Seuenly-seem when they held their heavier DeKalb rivals on prac- tically even terms. The visitors won the game by a lone touchdown which made the score 6 to o in their favor. The team traveled in great style and reminded the fans that a number of its members will he ready in IQQO to Hll the shoes of some of the regulars who are seniors this year. The Ponies under the very ahle direction of Coach Peterson showed a lighting spirit, whether in a scrim- mage or game. The fellows were all new at the game this year and will all be back next year to make a winning varsity team. The Ponies placed fourth in the North Central Illi- nois Conference.

Ray Bucklin, Harold Jewell, Art Blount, and Bernard Kleasner, who had sturdily survived the 1928 season, the 1929 football squad eagerly set forth on their new adventure. Soon Ed. Whitehead, Lee Grimm, Gray, Cunningham, McKeown, Stupfell, Dempsey, Spearing, Waugh, C. Johnson, and Behling were added to the nucleus, and then we found that we had an unusually powerful cell. A cell, which gave many, weary, lengthy, and tiresome hours to their cause and built themselves. with the aid of Coach Breckenfeld, into a strong unit. Of this unit, are we, the students of B. H. S.. rightfully proud. Who would have thought that a new coach. with a bunch of new fellows to train could build up a team as strong and powerful as our Purple and Gold fighters? We are proud not only of the games they won but also of their clean sportsmanship. To each man of the team much credit is due for this season's success. Captain Don Grimm, half back, merits much credit, not only for his brilliant playing, but for his magic touch that kept the team in a go-get-'em spirit. A marked man for his flashy open-field running is Ed- ward Whitehead, a quarterback. He entered the contest with a loyal spirit and will be back for more next season. Lee Grimm, half back, is Don's brother. Could anything more be said? Richard Gray ,half back, al- ways made his end runs a counter for Belvidere High School. Rich is a senior and will leave us this year. We are in luck that Pete Cunningham, our flashy little half back, who is just a freshman, will be in the lineup next season. Harold Jewell, fullback and tackle, has made many a needed yard this year. Will he show his stuff next season? He most assuredly will. Who is not sorry to see Ed McKeown, center. fullback, go? He is the man who put the old pigskin into action. Maynard Stupfell, end, has warmed many a fan's heart by his tackles, and Stue certainly has the spirit. Robert Dempsey. guard, has all the prospects of a good man and we expect great things of Demps next year. Cunningham, Bellamy, E. Whitehead, D. Grimm, Waugh, Jewell, Kleasner, Gray.

Robert Behling, tackle. could be relied upon to lill any part of the old line and he surely could smear 'em up. We shall always remember the DeKalb-Belvidere game which Belvidere lost by a score of 7 to 6. Belvidere's six points were made in the first period when Lee Grimm went for a touchdown after a wide run around left end. Three times. after making this score, Belvidere had the ball within the enemy's five-yard line and were halted by breaks. At the end of the third quarter our team was still leading 6 to o and lead until two min- utes before the end of the game. DeKalb outgained l fp Page Seventy-mne Belvidere by a slight margin. This was accomplished with their aerial attack and in the last few minutes made their touchdown and the extra point after the touchdown which made it a happy ending for DeKalb. This was the outstanding game of the season and gave Belvidere fans more thrills than any other game on the local field in years. Belvidere also put up a good light with Rochelle but lost to them by a score of I3 to o. Rochelle scored all its points in the first half and although Belvidere came back in great style in the second half, they were unable to score. They outgained their opponents in this peri- od and threatened to score on three occasions. This game was termed by officials one of the best high school games played in northern Illinois this year. The game with Harvard will be another that is to be remembered as an outstanding one. Belvidere defeated Harvard zo to o before the largest crowd that ever attended a football game in Belvidere in recent years. Our local team outfought the invaders in every minute of the game. I..

Page Eighty BASKETBALL REVIEW Belvidere made an exceedingly good record in basket- ball this season, tying Rochelle for first place in the North Central Illinois Conference, made up of Dixon, DeKalb, Rochelle, Sterling, and Belvidere. The team also captured eight victories out of fifteen scheduled games. Prospects for a winning team looked rather dull at the beginning of the season, most of last year's team having been graduated with the class of '29, Stupfell and Wheeler formed the nucleus for the Purple and Gold Majors, together with Johnson, Whitehead, McLain, and Bucklin of last year's Ponies . John, Milton, and Paul Bischoff of Orange- ville, who attended Belvidere High this year, also made the team as well as Les Cunningham of Washington school. Under the able direction of Coach Irving Brecken- feld, these boys began to develop rapidly, and by mid- season they were at the peak of performance. Although they were unable to duplicate last year's scores over Rockford and Freeport, they played some very exciting games as the scores indicated, Some thrilling games were witnessed by local fans, especially Belvidere's defeat at the hands of Rochelle in the third overtime period on the home floor. Much satisfaction was felt in defeating DeKalb, directed by former coach Ransdell, on the local floor in the final game of the season, Belvidere entered the DeKalb District Tourney with Elburn as its first opponent and was defeated by a 27 to 18 count. Stupfell, Wheeler, John Bischoff, and Bucklin will be graduated this year, leaving six veteran players to work with next season. Behling, J. Bischoff, O. Wheeler, Bucklin, E. Whitehead.

Baseball. after an interval of a few years, was revived again in the high school last year: and now we find that it is gradually resuming its old place in the hearts of the school and townspeople. The nine letter- men from last year's team, who returned with the same loyal spirit this spring are: M. Paulson. Behling. E. Whitehead, John Strawn, Waugh. Kleasner, Bucklin, Don Grimm, and Dick Gray. Games this year were scheduled with Byron, Kirkland. and Genoa, two games being played with each town. With these ever- ready lettermen and with the splendid coaching of Coach Irving J. Breckenfeld, we predict that the season of IQ30 is going to be one of the most successful sea- sons of our history. TRACK Track was revived this spring after being suspended on account of lack of interest for the last three years. Under the able coaching of Lamont J. Benson a very successful season is anticipated. Although the number of candidates is rather small, the deficit in quantity is more than made up by the superior ability shown. Several meets have been scheduled including the North Central Conference meet at DeKalb on May 3. Melvin King, Floyd Neff, and George Strawn were entered in the National Interscholastic Track Meet at Northwestern University in the mile and half mile events. In a practice meet at Freeport, B. H. S. placed as follows: Neff, first in the half mile and second in 220: King, first in mile: Watkins, first in hurdles with D. McLean placing third. Spearing copped first place Page Eighty-thru with the discus. Travis DeJarnatt took third in the 440-yard run. In the pole vault Pearson placed second. while George Strawn and Brooks tied for third. With two teams entered in the relay. Belvidere placed second and fourth. SPRING FOOTBALL Spring football has played a very important part in Coach Breckenfelds athletic plan for the coming year. The prospects for the 1930-'31 grid campaign, due to the turnout and spirit which was displayed by the large class of rookies who answered the first call for practice this spring, seem the brightest that they have been in years. The majority of the suits issued were not given to rookies . Nine lettermen from the 1929- '3o squad still remain. Backiield prospects look bright. Lee Grimm and Red Cunningham working at halves with Ed White- head at quarter and Harold Jewell at full comprise a backfield which brings a smile to Breck's face. All these fellows have had experience: all are good ball carriers. and all can block. Passing and kicking are the departments which have claimed much time this spring: and the practice shows results. Much is expected of this quartet next fall. A great deal of reserve backtield material makes things look even better. But the line is not much behind the backfleld. A complete line. with the exception of a center. remains. Johnson and Waugh are a pair of good ends. while Behling, Reed, and Banks will tight for the tackles. Dempsey, Bellamy. and Rhode look good as guards. All things considered, it will pay to watch these boys next fall. CHEER LEADERS Ray, Gallop, Short, Conley, Griswold, Byram, Somerville, Munger.

The Belvidere G. A. A. has endeavored to carry out the purpose of the State Association by encouraging all of the girls of the school to take active part in athletics. Any girl who has earned eighty points according to the point system of the association and signifies her de- sire to join. may do so. Forty points a semester must be earned in order to maintain membership. Points are given for regular gymnasium work, keeping health rules. bicycling. bowling. coasting. golf. horse-back riding, skating. skiing, swimming. tennis. and walking. Any girl who has earned 600 points is entitled to wear a numeral. Those who received them this year are Irene Nelson. Edith Berman. Louise Gallop, Maxine Catlin, Loretta Whalen. Gwendolyn Rice, Marjorie Ellis, and Helen Lincoln. Twelve hundred points entitle the one who has earned them to a B .This year Elsie Silvius and Dorothea Ray earned the coveted letters. They are the first girls who have earned one. During November of each year the annual initiation is held. On November 6, a number of freshmen and several sophomores became members of the association. Like most affairs of this kind, the initiation is remem- bered with more pleasure by the old members than by the new. A larger membership has been maintained in the G. A. A. this year than ever before. The organization looks backward with pleasure at something accom- plished toward the increase in health and happiness among the girls of the school. It looks forward in anticipation of bigger and better things for next year. Elsie Silvius, President: Irene Nelson, Secretary: Hazel Marie Galloway.

The refereeing for all of the games was done by Miss Comery of the Lincoln school. Something new in the way of games was tried this year when the faculty of the high school and grade schools played an all-star team chosen from the four teams that took part in the inter-class tournament. The faculty took a beating from the students with the score at 26-zo. It is hoped that these games may be continued in the future. Freshmen. Sophomores. Juniors. Seniors. -..
