Words cannot express the feeling that comes with these memories. It is something that slips through a net of words. In September of 1928, Belvidere High School welcomed us, a small army of eager Freshmen. Unfamiliar as we were with the ways of high school in general and of up- per classmen in particular, we were excellent material for the joke column of the Scoop. With the aid of our guide and counselor, Miss Rhoades, we chose Wesley Munger as our leader, Clinton Tucker as his assistant, Boyd Elliott to keep a record of our deeds, Hazel Lorraine Johnson to take charge of our funds, and Jean Conklin to direct our social endeavors. In our effort to become worthy members of B. H. S., we ventured into various fields: and soon we showed great promise of blossoming forth into star athletes and musicians, active club members, and best of all. brilliant scholars, for we occupied a large amount of space in the Honor Roll every month. Two peppy indi- viduals, Wesley Munger and Bob Byram, offered to cheer us along the way. One of our sweetest maidens was Audrey Shadley whom we chose as our entrant in the popu- larity contest, a feature of the Booster Carnival. As Sophomores we selected Clinton Tucker, Irene Stephenson, Carolyn Grosvenor. Mildred Smith, and Kenneth Johnson to aid us in our search for Knowledge, with Miss Rhoades again as our adviser. We made quite an impression on the student body this year. We maintained our scholastic record, we participated in forensic activities, we were well represented in all the organizations: and Grimm, Whitehead, Bischoff, Johnson, Behling, and McLain proved invaluable to the athletic teams. We entered the business world in our Junior year: and we chose a capable staff with Paul Bischoff as chief executive, Lee Grimm, Carolyn Grosvenor, Dorothy Beckner, Kenneth John- son, and Miss Lindquist to direct us. lt was necessary to aug- ment our funds and so we became salesmen of candy, pencils, and paper. Clinton Tucker and Wesley Munger took charge of the sales, and with the loyal support of every member of the class the deposits in our treasury increased steadily. This year we chose as our most popular girl, Dorothy Wilkison. ln our efforts to crown her Queen of the Booster Carnival we sponsored a motion picture at the Apollo. Thus we discovered in our midst many members with outstanding sales ability, and with everyones active support, the sale was a great success. But since we still needed more money to stage a Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom, after much discussion, we decided to sponsor a second theater ticket sale. We solicited most of the food for the Ban- quet. and by saving expenses in every possible way, we put on . a most successful Prom, one of which to be proud. To our best all around student, Wesley Munger, was . . . R b awarded the honor of being the recipient of the mantle. 0 ermymm Jean Edmonds Twent y- two If RTX 1'i '5 ,Os 'N -1 I XA qi' Iva-wtf vii!! 1, fx, ,S ,qs.,.,.'Xl:Q....,a'j:aa..N,, J-+4 Exif? sp we --E?.,Q,ji I 'fff+-Ti1- ,i,e' -L4,gx.o'f1f1QZf,.:g?,-,HSLkf,-y .

Qui 'I' In spite of the financial difficulties of our Junior year, we consider it to be a very successful year: for with the fine co-operation of all the members of the class in all our ventures, we became better and closer friends. This year we are Seniors. A council composed of Robert Byram, head councellor: Jean Edmonds, Paul Bischoff, Edward Whitehead, and Kenneth Johnson is ably conducting our affairs this, our last year. Mr. Brooks is our adviser. Soon we shall be leaving our Alma Mater to travel along the path of life. We hope that our classmates and faculty will glance often at these pages so that though we are gone, We shall not be forgotten. OFFICERS Robert Byram . , .,... ,... , ....

To outsiders the past season may be considered a failure, but to those directly concerned it has proved quite successful. Although only two victories have been chalked up, the season's games have accomplished their purpose--to develop the bodies and the minds of the players. Mr. E. C. Peterson returned to Belvidere this year after a leave of absence and assumed the duties of head coach. ln this, his first year as mentor, he has instilled into the minds of the boys not only football knowledge but sportsman- ship as well. He has developed a team that was able to go through a tough schedule and maintain its morale in spite of several defeats. Coach Peterson is well liked by all the fellows, and they are looking forward to a big season next year. At the beginning of the season, the locals appeared to have the best team in years. They packed a real punch in prying the lid off the season by handing St. lVlary's of Woodstock a 20-o set-back. Forty-four Coach Peterson , D l LIGHTWEIGHT TEAM Front row: M. King, B. Bridson, F. Rosenberg, V. Oakley, D. Hill, E. Wells, L. Waugh, J. Whalen. Row II: H. Morehead, D. Hogan, N. Dowling, W. Hicks, J. Spearing, G. Miles, W. Stehley. Top row: A. Dunbar, F. Conley, D. Wych, L. Lorentson, R. Anderson, D. McKelvey, C. Kiester, Mr. Peterson. Later in the season, the team was weakened considerably by injuries to Cunningham and Captain Mitchell, but others carried on and fought the good fight. However breaks seemed to be against the fellows, and they were nosed out by Freeport, Harvard, Dixon, and DeKalb. The Purple and Gold, however, could not be held down, for they came back strong to play one of the best games of the season against Rochelle. They outplayed the Hubs in every department of the game, but the failure to add the extra points after the two touchdowns spelled disaster. The final score was 14-12. The B. H. S. pig-skin tossers finished the season with a bang by routing Marengo High I3-O in the final fracas of the season on Armistice Day. The lightweight team turned in a good record for the season with two victories and three defeats. Manv of the ponies were freshmen, who will prove valuable in future vears. The lights showed lots of pep. and they helped to develop the first team by giving them spirited opposition in practice. We will hear more from the seconds next year, HEAVYWEIGHT SCORES l,IGHTWElGHT SCORES Belvidere St. Mary's . .

Lester Cunningham Half-back, Quarterback Red was an all-around back. and he was greatly missed when lost-to the team because of injuries. Gerald Houdeshell Guard Jerry was very capable on defense. He was good on sizing up and smearing the opponents plays. Kenneth Johnson End Ken's good tackling and ability to get down under punts made him a valuable wing-man. Fort y - six 4 Robert Behling Tackle Bob's physical build made him a powerful lineman. Traver Ellis Guard Few gains were made over his position in the line. and many are the ball carriers he has tackled. De Johnson Tackle Del was another husky who contributed much to the power of the team. om Jury Center Tom was the scrappiest player on the squad and he opened many holes in the enemy's line for the backs to gallop through. Wilbur King Fullback Archie could always be counted on to smash through the opposing line for substantial gains. He also carried out the kicking assignment. Gerald Mitchell Half-back Captain Mitch displayed a fighting spirit that made him an excellent leader for the team. William Oakley Tackle Bill did not have much brawn for a tackle but he filled his position creditably. Edward Whitehead Quarterback Eddie's clear-thinking made him a brilliant field general. He, also. was a flashy open-field runner. Q. l ,li -vfrgwg NW V, s- ff, ,, 4 .fe M4 ' t -it , W 2 ,,..1. .- 1 'QQN-1-X.-' w.iT,3?f?:Q,.Q' Mei Q -- Q if : vga., it M 1-t . .

The Belvi- dere High School basketeers won nineteen games in twenty-two starts. one of the most successful years Purple and Gold followers have witnessed. Mr. Patrick demonstrated that he knows basketball and that he knows how to handle fellows, and soon the team 1 was moving at high speed. Kirkland and Elburn were the l first victims by scores of 22- 1 o and 15-1 1. i ln the conference. the Boone hardwood knights made a clean sweep. Double victories were registered over Dixon, ' Sterling. Rochelle, and DeKalb, giving Belvidere an undis- puted conference championship. Especially gratifying to local fans were the victories over DeKalb and Rochelle by decisive margins. ln the first game of the District Tournament at Rock- ford, Belvidere defeated Rockford for the second time that year and thus decided the question of superiority. 30-16 tells the fate of Kirkland in the semi-final game. Harlem won the right to continue to the sectional tournament by defeating B. H. S. in the final game. y The lightweights or B teams have as enviable a record as the beavies. Twelve victories and three losses testify to 1 this fact. Two of these defeats were at the hands of Rock- Cozleh Patrick url ti- eight w . . 'age L. ..,.

DeKalb took the Purple and Gold ponies for a ride on the local floor, but they were the victims of revenge when Belvidere journeyed to the Barb City. The local cause triumphed 18-16, which also placed the Belvidere lightweights at the top of the UB conference. Two conference championships in one year!

His floor work and defensive skill were his strong points. Robert Whitehead Bob is one of the seven seniors who closed their careers in March. He served B. H. S. well in his last year. He was fast, handled the ball well, and had a dead eye for the basket. Wilbur King Archie was the biggest man on the squad. and his size was very valuable in following-in shots. He was an excellent pivot-man and feeder. Three more years of prominence in basketball should be his. Robert McCartney Bob's size and weight were against him but he made up for this by his accurate timing. He was always on the spot at the right time. and he knew what to do when he got there. Lester Cunningham Red was the outstanding guard on the squad. but he was lost to the team the second semester. His stellar per- formance at the Holiday tournament made him a selection for the first All-Tournament team. He was then elected by his teamamates as captain for the remainder of the season. if-ew, N ,ft ,,r,....,g., A A J , S. -Q 5- L ' ' X t ' I -A , ,yt .w-'J 5 f ,,g was :A ry' ,gt 1 Kenneth Johnson Ken also possesses a line record for the past four years. Last season, he shared high scoring honors with Eddie, each ringing up a total of eighty-nine points. Ken was outstanding in foot-work and in handling the ball. His never say die spirit kept the fellows fighting until the final gun. His place will be hard to ill. f ,li , y 7 , .' . 1, ' . 751QjBp J v f J' Paul Bischoff P Paul proved his skill by meeting the requir ments of the All-Star basketball team at Rockford. We are proud of you. Paul, you've helped Belvidere gain a reputation for good clean playing. John Strawn John's height made him valuable on the tip-off and for driving-in under the basket. He took many knocks in scrambling for the ball, but he could not be daunted. As a result of his spirited playing he was selected on the All- Tournament team at Rockford. Edward Whitehead Eddie leaves B. H. S. with a wonderful record. He has been an important factor in the success of the cage teams for the past four years. He was a consistent point- getter, and he always came through when the need was greatest. Eddie was a marked man for his speed and ability to sink 'em. Gerald Mitchell A dependable guard. That characterizes Mitch be- cause he was always there to defend the basket against the invaders. But his usefulness was not confined to the back court, for he was an important cog in the offensive machine. x AF -1' ll K ' -74 I 4' Fifty-one .i F kt. Co f -J ff' , Q f , u fr 'P+ . ,.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year the Girls' Athletic Association, having about one hundred members. has certainly lived up to its name. The girls have been full of pep and vigor and on their toes all the time. The new officers were chosen and a new constitution was drawn up and adopted early in the year. A monopoly on hot dog sales was secured, and sales were held fre- quently during the year. This money was used to maintain the girls' activities and to purchase a piano for the gym. ln October, the club at Sycamore invited some of our members to participate in a play day which they were sponsoring. The eight girls who accepted the invitation were Francis Pavlak, Nancy Niemeyer, Virginia Fair. Annabelle Ellis. Janet Sin- nett. Dorothy Ryan. Barbara Funderburg. and Bernice Lyons. ln May. a few girls were invited to a Rockford play day. Mil- dred Smith. Betty Wlieeler, Qctavia Cor- son, and Elizabeth Kleber were the girls who went there. ln April, the members sent for pins which are shaped like the state of Illinois and have the letters G. A. A. on them. Near the end of the year. the association gave a formal banquet at which letters and numerals were awarded. Altogether the organization feels that they have had a happy and successful year. Ol3l5lCliRS Janet Sinnett Nancy Niemeyer Nlildred Smith . .

It was a new out- door sport to our girls, and they enjoyed it thoroughly. Much to their disappoint- ment, the weather did not permit a tourna- ment to be played. TAP-DANCING Tap-dancing was quite a fad this year in many schools. Since Belvidere should not be outdone, Miss Werth taught her classes a few dances. The girls found them interesting as well as reducing. ARCHERY Archery was an extra sport for all girls interested: they practiced first period under Miss Werth's direction. Some girls be- came as good as Cupid at placing their arrows. The archery group consisted of: Ethelyn Beckus Harriet Evans Marjorie Clark Maxine Fayram Annabelle Ellis Jane Mae Moorehead Barbara Funderburg Nancy Niemeyer Roberta Griffith Mildred Smith Wannetta Hammond Roberta Van Vleet Marion McMaster Ruby Wilson Roberta Mclnnes VOLLEY BALL Volley Ball was the first winter game. Four teams were chosen from the gym classes to play in a tournament. Results were: Fireflies .......... First Hungry Seven . . . Second Speedkings .,.... Third Mass Marvels . . .

SCOOP STAFF The Scoop this year is under the able direction of our new journalism instructor, Mr. Hugh Bone. who has most competent- ly taken the place of Miss Moser. With Mr. Bones splendid guidance and help, the Scoop is making very good progress. However, the financial circumstances are not such as to permit of the printing of the school year. The idea of mimeograph- ing it, which was suggested by Mr. Brooks last year. has proved very satisfactory, and it is printed every two weeks in that manner. Audrey Shadley was chosen Editor-in- Chief and handled her position very cap- ably. Unfortunately. however, Audrey was taken ill and was forced to drop many of her activities, among them the Scoop editorship, Her position has been satis- factorily filled by Violet Gustafson. who took over the work immediately following Audrey's misfortune. The staff has had splendid co-operation from Mr. Patrick and his typists. Also. the Scoop staff has worked together very well throughout the year, each one doing his part. There is no charge for the paper. and it is printed simply to keep the students posted on all happenings around the school and outside events which would be of interest to them.

We recall that the Belvi of I93l received an All-American rating: and the Be1vi of IQ3O, a f1rst class honor rating in the National Schol- astic Press Association contest. We have worked diligently, and even though we may not receive honors in this year's con- test, we hope the book meets with your approval, The Belvi Staff this year was com- posed of thirteen members of the senior class who were chosen by the faculty in May. 1931. After signing the contract with Stewart 26 Hammerich, printers, Pontiac Engrav- ing and Electrotype Company in the fall, we began planning and arranging our book. We selected the life in a flower garden for our theme and used the prevail- ing colors of the garden, green and white. We put on the customary drive for subscriptions. and the student body seemed eager to give us their orders. When the final count was made, We had four hundred subscribers to whom to distribute books. When all the pictures had been taken and collected, and all the typing finished. we sent the dummy to the printers in May. BEI-Vl STAFF Dorothy Wilkison . , . . . . , . , .,.. . . . . ..,.,.

In '31 we were kept from the contest at Tulsa by financial conditions, and this year there was no national contest. Due to the worthy efforts of our director and his assistants. the band has been mak- ing rapid strides forward to keep pace with the best class B bands in the country. Some notable accomplishments have been made in solo and ensemble work, too. ln the fall of 1931, our organization ceased to be strictly a boys' band. A num- ber of girl flute, oboe, and clarinet players were admitted to the band. The girls have progressed rapidly and are making the boys work hard to hold their positions. Concerts in the park were held regularly throughout the summer. Both the sum- mer and the winter concerts have been Sixty gaining steadily in popularity, A feature of one of the winter concerts was the re- turn of nearly thirty alumni players. The band has been striving constantly to pre- sent its audiences with a better class of music than ever before. Belvidere was very successful in carrying off honors in the solo and ensemble con- tests at Wheaton this year. We received nine firsts and seven seconds in solos and seven firsts and one second in the ensemble contest.

Pierce Miss Strut-ter THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Again the Girls' Cilee Club is under the splendid leadership of Miss Velma Streeter. The Glee Club this year is smaller than usual. being composed of but twenty-six girls. The training received at the hands of Miss Streeter has been of great value to these students. There have been few public appearances made this year, but these few were very well received. The costumes chosen by the girls were black sweaters and skirts with white collars and cuffs. The group, attired in these costumes. made a very stunning appearance. They were purchased in the fall and worn each time the girls appeared publicly. The Glee Club presented two numbers on the Armistice Day program, and rendered these two very well. At Christ- mas time, a Christmas cantata was pre- sented in which the Glee Club operated with the public speaking class. As each song was begun, the curtain was drawn back, bringing to view a color tableau to portray the incident told of in the song. Meetings were held twice a week, Tues- day and Thursday, during the eighth period. This year the Glee Club has been considered as a class and cuts were not allowed as they have been other years. However. Miss Streeter has been very ac- commodating in excusing a girl if she had an important reason for being absent. OFFICERS Rebecca Sever Dorothy Wilkison .lean Conklin Isla Gamliri .

HI-Y The Hi-Y Club is a group of the older high school boys, who, having united in a common and challenging objective, are seeking for themselves and their fellow students the highest standards of life and conduct. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to carry out plans that do help to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. New members are selected each year from the sophomore. junior. and senior classes to take the places of members who have passed out of school. In past years, the Hi-Y has been an active organization: but this year owing to lack of convenient meeting time and place, not much has been accomplished. Mr. Harkless. secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and Mr. Bone have been the advisers of this group.

GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves began it usual series of successful events this year with an in- formal gathering of old and new members. A ceremonial was given to portray the Girl Reserve ideals to the new members. One of the outstanding events of the year was the Tea given by the Rockford Girl Reserves, and to which the Belvidere group was invited. Due to the large num- ber of members. only the Cabinet Members made the trip. A very enjoyable time was had and will not be forgotten by any of those fortunate enough to attend. One function of the Girl Reserves is to divide into hobby groups. Those chosen this year and their instructors are: Art. under Miss Lovell: Tap-dancing, under Miss Werth: Travel, under Miss Phillips: and Puppet Shows. At Christmas time. the Welfare Committee gave a basket of food to a very deserving family. l.ater, a quilt which had been made by the mein- bers and their advisers, was presented to another needy family. The Girl Reserve organization is con- tinually gaining in popularity, The girls not only learn various useful hobbies. but also, they learn to give aid to people less fortunate than they are. Any girl is proud to be a member of this active organization. Betty Vkfheeler , Mildred Pierce Mercedes WJllgh Beth Herbert . , lfsther Gibson . Janet Sinnett , Virginia Fair . .

THE BOOSTER CLUB The Booster Club is an organization of sixteen members. four of them being chosen from each class of the school. These six- teen young people are loyal backers of school projects and are willing to sacrifice their time and energy for the good of the school. Their purpose is to back the acti- vities of school organizations and of the school as a whole. The Booster Club has made a reputation as a very active school body and one which is always ready to step forward and offer aid whenever it is needed. One of the most important purposes of the Booster Club is to back the athletic teams of the school. ln the fall. the club members take over the ticket sales for the football games, selling tickets both before the games and on the field. This year they sold season tickets for the basketball games. Both at the close ol' the football season and at the close of the basketball season, the club sponsored a banquet for the members of the teams. The Booster Club has been of great aid in making our athletic seasons successful, both in a financial way and in backing the teams by arousing school enthusiasm. Each year, four freshmen are chosen to take the places of the four members who graduated the preceding June. Thus the membership is always kept at the same Hgure. These four remain members of the Booster Club throughout the four years of their high school careers, providing they are able to carry the activity and do not fail to uphold the standards of the group. The four freshmen chosen this year are: Roberta Mclnnes, Rachel Johnson. Wilbur King. and Beauford Bridson.

Membership is limited to students who have received either a major or minor letter for participation in any sport. When any one is admitted into the club, he is duly and energetically initiated. Just ask any of the new members about the energetic part of the ceremony. Shortly before school is dismissed, a meeting is called for the election of officers for the next year.

The money re- ceived from this presentation is used to further literary activities in the high school. Gerald Donovan, a rising young lawyer. who has a hard time rising, carries on a correspondence with about a thousand lovesick ladies to obtain material which he uses in writing human interest stories to make money. He goes under the assumed name of John B. Nicholson and does his work in an old cabin which he has rented. About this time. Mrs. Simpson, his snoopy mother-in-law, becoming suspici- ous of his absences from home sets detec- tives on his trail. She and her daughter, Helen Donovan, go up to the cabin with the detective to investigate. At this time the original John B. Nicholson returns with his temperamental young bride, Mimi. and not long after their arrival, two of the lovesick ladies with whom Donovan has corresponded. Miss Hopper and Miss Samantha. appear on the scene. Complications immediately arise. Under the supervision of Andy Wells, the detective, and Justice Wigglesworth, attempts are made to straighten out the mixup, but it takes Donovan's secretary. Percy Lewis, to clear things in his own inimitable manner. The staff capably fulfilled their duties back-stage and helped to produce the play successfully.

HTHE FAMILY UPSTAIRS Senior Class Play The play, The Eamily Upstairs, was presented by the senior class on the even- ings of May twenty-sixth and twenty- seventh in the high school auditorium. Mrs. Greenslit, our coach, selected two casts. Because of the talent that was shown in those that tried out for the parts, one cast presented the play the first night, and the other cast, the next night. The scene is a typical average American home, that of Joe Heller. a street-car in- spector on a salary of 542.50 a week. Louise is his eldest daughter, an oflice worker of twenty-one who hasn't managed to land a husband yet. Her mothers one ambition is to get her properly married: while fathers, is to get his son, Willie, to work. Annabelle, the Kid sister, has one passion-getting out of piano lessons. Louise has her first caller, Charles Grant, a fine upstanding fellow. They are in love and are engaged before the evening is over. But mother drops hints that S100 a week is too little for Louise to live on. She tells the neighbors that Grant is a big banker when in reality he is making S40 a week. Having heard all this, Grant wond- ers what sort of family he is entering. There is an unhappy hour when the en- gagement seems to be off, and then Grant's mother appears. She is just the bluffer that Mrs. Heller is, and both see through all the bluffs and discount them. Everything ends happily. THE CAST Joe Heller, the father . . . Emma Heller. the mother , . , .

LATIN CLUB During its second year of organization. the Latin Club has sponsored many suc- cessful affairs. lt has a membership of about sixty Latin students of the first. second, and fourth year classes. Very in- teresting meetings have been held the first Wednesday in every month. All members have been busy working for points. The club this year has been run on a point system. Bulletin board work, newspaper work. and program work were some of the means of earning points. The object of the members in earning the points was to work themselves from the slave class of society to the noble class. One had to earn fifty points to become a CoNsUl.s Charlotte Alderman Ruth Berman Arptttss Maxine Hogard Betty Wheeler Setwvltf Plebeian, one hundred and Hfty points to be a Knight. and three hundred points to become a Nobleman, the highest rank. The Latin Club sponsored a very novel Sunset Dance in the gymnasium, April flrst, from four to six o'clock. The club has also purchased six new reference books for the use of second year Latin students. Latin Club students edited a Latin news- paper which proved of interest to all. We are now looking forward to the Latin Club Banquet. which will be held the first part of May. Miss Blackburn very capably supervised the work of the organizations.

MATHEMATICS CLUB The Mathematics Club of Belvidere High School was organized during this year. About fifty enthusiastic members attend the meetings of the club which are held monthly. Very interesting programs dealing with mathematical subjects are carried out at these gatherings. At the first meeting, the ofbcers were elected and a program committee consist- ing of Marguerite Brown, the chairman, and Maxine Hogard, James Harmeyer, and Charles Ciee was appointed. Miss Burton is the faculty adviser, having the duty of supervising the activities of the organization. At one of our meetings, Miss McGavock, Professor of Mathematics of Rockford College, gave us a delightful talk on A Trip to the Moon. At another meeting, a splendid talk on foreign money and its exchange was given by Miss Harris. At one of our last meetings a debate was held on the relative importance of the subjects of Mathematics and Latin to the profes- sions. On another occasion, several mem- bers of the club presented a mathematical play entitled HA Mathematical Nightmare which was thoroughly enjoyed, The Mathematics Club also sponsored a bar- gain dance, early in the spring. Many people are of the opinion that mathematics is a tiresome, uninteresting subject. However, it is the aim of the club to help the students to understand how essential and valuable it really is. This enthusiastic club is helping to make the study of mathematics more interesting. OFFICERS Walter Bischoff ..,. ......,.,,. ...,,.,,.,. Dorothy Wilkison .. Beth Herbert .,...

DEBATE The question for debate this year dealt with the solution of the age-old problem which is baffling the leading economists of the world. that of unemployment. Speci- Gcally. the question reads: Resolved, that the several states should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemployment insurance. Though the question seemed rather difhcult at Hrst, persistent concentration on the sub-i-ject proved enlightening and in- teresting. Under the very efhcient coaching of Mr. Bone, the following represented Belvidere in debate: lirnest Smith. Stanley Macln- tosh, and Maurice Nelson constituted the Affirmative: the Negative was upheld by Robert Gross. Dorothy Karlson. and Lan- dis De.larnatt. .lane Blachford, Mildred Pierce. and Clair l-uckett were alternates. with .Ioe Keenan as time-keeper, and John llamill. business manager. Practice debates were held with Capron. Setwnltf Iwo Rockford. and at the Rotary Club. Our first conference debates were held with Delialb. Unfortunately we lost both deci- sions. Sterling provided the opposition for the next debate, this time the Belvidere Negative gained the approval of the judge. while again our Affirmative team was eli- minated by a narrow margin, The final debates were held at Rochelle. There the Afhrmative was given the deci- sion. and the Negative was very narrowly defeated by Mendota. Mendota was awarded the conference championship. los- ing only one debate during the season. The Belvidere teams were successful in bringing home the bacon only on one occasion each: but, after all. the many benents derived from debate cannot be judged by the number of victories. Here's hoping even greater interest will be shown by the student body and the public in the debates of 'gy - x -y H Front Row: E. Kleber, Miss Bowman, O. Corson ,' Top Row: C. Luckc-tt, P. Bischoff. X A SPEECH ACTIVITIES The public speaking work this year has been divided into four main units: dra- matics. extempore speech, contest work- declamatory and oratory-and interpretive reading. The dramatic work has consisted of the presentation of the public speaking class play, A Lady to See You by Latham, and the presentation of a series of five one- act plays. Every student in the department had the opportunity of taking a part in one of these one-act plays if he chose to do so, The extempore speaking unit has been developed wholly as class room work, every student organizing, outlining. and presenting a large number of extempore speeches. A considerable period of time was spent on this phase of the work since it is the type of speech training which is unquestionably most practical. The contest work consisted of coaching in the various fields of oratory, declama- tory, and extempore speech. Each student in the department studied the presentation of a declamation or oration and many gave their selections in the elimination contests, the Winners of which represented Belvidere in the state and conference contests this year. The winners were: Paul Bischoff, oratory: Elizabeth Kleber, dramatic de- clamatory: Octavia Corson, humorous de- clamatory: and Clair Luckett, extempore speech. The final unit of work consisted of interpretive reading. One who has gained the power to interpret the emotional as well as intellectual content of any written selection, first for himself and then for others, has secured a valuable asset to life.

X' hbii ,+g,g'f! Here it is that many of the students get Fi tw. their reward for earnest endeavor. The ' membership is based upon character, which s includes high ideals and aspirations: f..,n.,.,Ljjlj5 leadership, which means mastery of one- g',T self: scholarship, which is mental superi- ,' ' ority shown in all educational work: Pd fi service, which means to be untiring in the giving of time and energy in school inter- . t x, '- ests. Thus in developing these talents among the students, we aim to raise the standard of our high school. The pupils eligible to election to this society must rank in the first third in the scholarship of their respective class. Not more than fifteen per cent of the graduat- ing class nor more than five per cent of the junior class can be elected to membership in this chapter. The council of faculty members selects these honored students. This society was organized in February, 1928, in Belvidere High School. Its ob- ject is to promote a high standard of ideals in the student body. Belvidere has a long list of graduate students of whom they are proud. Many students try for this honor but few receive it.

This year The Mantle is held by Wesley Munger, and on Class Day it will be presented to the student who will hold it for the succeeding year. NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY of SECONDARY SCHOOLS In May, IQ27, the charter for the National Athletic Society was granted to Belvidere High School. Our school wished through this organization to promote higher, uniform standards in athletics: to create among the boys the desire for scholarship as well as good sportsmanship: and to develop leadership. The membership in this society is limited to those who have earned a major letter or two minor letters in one of the four sports, football, basketball, baseball, or track. Other qualifications that are necessary for membership in this organiza- tion are: maintenance of an average in scholastic work equal to the general aver- age of the school for three consecutive semesters: and the possession of the qual- ities of good sportsmanship and good citizenship.
