Adviser SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Dwight Hill Wilbur Strawn CLASS HISTORY In September of 1930, we, a large group of very green freshmen, entered Belvidere High School. We were so green that we couldn't even understand why we had so many jokes played on us by the upper classmen. Under the guidance of our advisers, Miss Burton and Miss Manley, we chose our oflicers who were: Walter Bischoff, Ruth Berman, Esther Berman, and Robert McCartney. Myrtle Nelson conducted our social affairs. The next event in store for us was the much dreaded initiation. We came out of the ordeal very well and became a little more sure of ourselves. We proved to be good musicians, athletes, and brilliant scholars, considering that we were mere freshmen. Later in the year, we chose Ruth Berman as our favorite girl to enter the popularity contest sponsored by the Booster Club. We started back to school again in IQ3 I as sophomores, eager to initiate the freshmen as we had been the year before. We considered ourselves to be one of the upper classmen although we were not. This year we chose Gale Webber as our leader, and Ruth Strong, Dwight Hill, and Wilbur Strawn to help him, with Ruth Berman as social chairman. Miss Harris and Miss Blackburn helped us over the tough spots. Our star athletes were Coleman, Johnson, Miller, McCartney, and Bischoff. At last as juniors we could successfully call ourselves upper classmen. We had not lost our zest for what lay before us. ln fact, we were more eager to rise up in the world. At our junior meeting we selected Dwight Hill, Gale Webber, James Harmeyer, Marjorie Ransley, and Mildred Pierce to make our third year a success: and with the aid of Miss Manley and Miss Burton it was. This year we were prominent as salesmeng besides the usual sale of candy, paper, and pencils we organized two teams to sell magazines. We selected sweaters this year instead of rings. As juniors our main object was to have a bigger and better prom. It was! We were proud to have Wilbur Strawn, our best all-around student, receive the mantle, the greatest honor given to anyone in Belvidere High School. Page Eighteen Let us build. COLORS: Blue and Silver W, FLOWER: Red Rose Ruth Berman Robert McCartney Now we are serious seniors and have as our leaders: Dwight Hill, chief, and Wilbur Strawn, Ruth Berman, Robert McCartney, and Mildred Pierce. Mr. Garrett acts as our guide. We will soon enter the world of active life to make good and to meet all tasks with uplifted heads. We will always keep in our hearts our happiest memories, those of the days in good old B. H. S. THE MANTLE To be given the mantle is one of the greatest honors a student can receive while in Belvidere High School because this mark of distinction means that the student chosen is the best all-around student in his class. He must be outstanding in leadership, sportsmanship, and scholarship. This year the mantle is held by Wilbur Strawn, and on Class Day will be presented to a worthy junior.

REVIEW OF FOOTBALL Although Belvidere's football team game, it won two, tied one, and lost game every player was giving his best. Belvidere opened its season with an upset victory over a very strong Harlem team. B. H. S. scored a touchdown in the first quarter and kept this advantage throughout the game. The home team lost to Harvard after a valiant fight by the score of I3 to 7.

Wilbur Strawn Secretary ..... .. Lloyd Coleman Rochelle, Belvidere came back after trailing 6 to o the first half to hand Rochelle Heavies a I2 to 6 beating. Our Lightweights didn't fare so well and lost after a great battle 18 to o. We lost to Sterling on a very muddy field by the score of 18 to o. We journeyed to Dixon and after winning the Light- weight game, with a second half rally, by the score of 6 to 4, the Heavies were defeated I4 to 2. The whole' story of this defeat-there was too much of a little fellow named Underwood. Our next game was the Homecoming game against our old rival, DeKalb. The Belvidere Lights lost to DeKalb after outplaying their rivals throughout the game. In the Heavyweight game Belvidere showed its defensive power by holding DeKalb two successive times within the five-yard line in the first half. DeKalb made another serious threat late in the game which netted them nothing. The game ended in a scoreless tie which seemed to be satisfactory to both teams. Belvidere's hopes of a Victory over Mendota were struck a severe blow when Irv Schult, versatile backfield man, had to undergo an operation for appendicitis. Belvidere lost this game after a hard fight by the score of 36 to 6. The Belvidere Lights defeated Mendota Lights 6 to o. Belvidere's Lightweight team, under the tutelage of Lester Cunningham, had a very successful season-win- ning three games and losing three. More will be heard from this team next year.

Page Forty-five REVIEW OF BASKETBALL SEASON Belvidere finished the basketball season after winning fourteen and losing eight, while the Lightweights won thirteen and lost five. Belvidere started the season by win- ning two games from Kirkland both at Kirkland and at home. The next two games were lost to Waterman, one at Waterman and one at Belvidere. We journeyed to Har- lem where we were victorious. The' next week in our first conference game, we were defeated by DeKalb. The fol- lowing week on successive nights, we defeated Dixon and Rockford. The Rockford game was the worst beating Belvidere has given Rockford in a long time. The score was 34- I 2. We won our next three conference games from Rochelle, Sterling, and Mendota. The night following the Mendota game, we were defeated by Harlem. Then we won from Dixon but lost to DeKalb the following week. This loss- spoiled our chances for a conference champion- ship, which was won by DeKalb. We won a hectic battle, in the closing minutes of the game, from Rochelle at Ro- chelle and lost the next two games on successive nights to Sterling and Rockford. The Rockford game was a great tussle and Rockford beat us in the closing minutes of the game. B. H. S. won the final game of the schedule and also the final conference game from Mendota. The tourna- ment team was composed of Coleman, Schrader, Miller, McCartney, Weir, Newman, Keister, King, Bauer, and Strawn. Our first tournament game was against Durand about MR.

With a 29 to 9 lead at the end of the third quarter, Coach Patrick inserted many new faces into the lineup. Belvidere scored 4 while Durand garnered 8 in the last quarter-the final score being 33-17 in favor of Belvidere. In the semi-final game with Rockford, Belvidere was slow at getting started. Rockford led at the end of the first quarter 7-2. Belvidere scored 8 in the second quarter to 5 for Rockford making the score 1 2- IO in favor of Rockford at half time. Rockford outscored Belvidere 4-3 the third quarter and led 16-13 at the beginning of the final quarter. Belvidere held Rockford to one point the last quarter while scoring 5 to pull the game out of the fire 18- 17. The final game was a crucial one because Belvidere had won one game from Harlem and lost one during the sea- son. Belvidere grabbed an early lead of 7-0 at the end of the first quarter, and 14-9 at half time. Belvidere scored three points to one for Harlem the third quarter.

A. is limited to those girls who earn one hundred points in eight weeks, outside of regular gym work. Eight weeks of training rules are re- quired before any pledge may become a member of the association. At the beginning of the year, a meeting of all old members was called for the purpose of electing officers. Finance and program committees were then appointed to take care of the social and financial problems which might arise. A constitution was drawn up and formally adopted at an early meeting of the club. Thirty-four pledges were initiated on December twelfth, thereby increasing our number to one hundred and thirty- two. Sweeping streets, scrubbing State Street with tooth brushes, and many other such stunts were performed by the initiates to the satisfaction of the old members.

At Christmas time, the November and December committees planned a large program. Misses Lampert and Kleber gave Christmas readings, which helped to make this program successful. Playing many games was the big event of the January meeting. Miss Bakeland of Rockford came to the February meeting and gave a very interesting chalk talk. The pictures that Miss Bakeland drew were given to the Latin Club. April is the month of the found- ing of Rome, so the program at this meeting was a burlesque skit 'CA Trip Through Roman History.

Membership in this club is open to all students who have earned either a major or a minor letter in athletics. Initiation into this club is admitted to be a classic in the annals of the school. ln the words of a neophyte, to go through the sacred riots and ceremonies of the initiation is the experience of a life time. The HB Club has yearly sponsored activities that have become annual events. These events are: the Snake Dance through the business section of Belvidere, the 'AHomecoming Dance , and the B Club dance given in honor of alumni members. We hope that these may continue to be annual events. Election of officers takes place shortly before the closing of school in June, and these new odicers serve for the next year.

DEBATE The excellent record of last year's debate team was duplicated this year when our debaters finished the season with first place in the Conference for the second consecutive year. This year's question was: Resolved, that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of control and operation of broadcasting. A great deal of credit is due to the members of the debate squad for their diligent study and interest which enabled them to be victorious. Considerable interest was shown in debate this year and tryouts were largely attended. There were several members of last year's teams in the lineup this season. Valuable experience Was gaind in the practice debates held with Elgin, West Aurora, Rockford, and Durand. Though these were non-decision debates, the debaters displayed marked ability and put forth their best efforts, making them intensely interesting. The Conference debates, in which our teams participated, were held with Mendota, Sterling, Rochelle, and DeKalb. Through keen competition, Belvidere came to the top to Win the Conference championshipg the negative Won four victories, and the affirmative lost to Mendota and Sterling, and Won from Ro- chelle and DeKalb. The teams Were developed under the capable leadership of Mr. Bone and Virginia Peterson, who was assistant coach. The members of the teams have gained valuable experience and pleasant memories from their contacts with the students of other schools in the friendly rivalry of these debates.

It has done a great deal to stimulate interest in the discussion of current problems which should be of vital importance to all of us because of their effect upon our social and economic conditions. This organization was instrumental in bringing before the public, at the high school, a number of excellent debates, and speakers, from the surrounding communities. These meetings promoted a better understanding of world affairs and were highly appreciated by both the public and the students. A great many important problems of the day were discussed. These open' minded and intelligent discussions have done a great deal to broaden the scope of our knowledge of world problems and their solutions. It is necessary that the youth of today, who are to be the leaders of tomorrow, have an understand- ing of the problems that will confront them in the future, and that they learn how the leaders of today are meeting their problems. This club is performing a great service for the students of our high school and what it has accomplished can not be praised too highly. Mr, Bone, faculty adviser, is especially to be commended for his capable and unfailing efforts in behalf of this organization. All of the meetings, some of which were held at private homes, were both interesting and instructive. President .,..... , . Lincoln Davidson Vice-President . . . . .

The play was presented by two casts. The scene takes place in the living-room of the Bailey home, a half-ruined mansion on a desolate stretch of the Atlantic coast. Mrs. Gillette, Eugenie Bowles, and Amelia Gillette arrive at the mansion after receiving telegrams supposedly sent by Sheldon Harley who is in charge of the Bailey property. The three women are relatives of Mr. Bailey who has mysteriously' disappeared. A little later the country sheriff arrives to solve the case and at midnight Doctor Cameron is admitted to the house by the housekeeper, Mrs. Oakley. Later on, Paula Bailey, Mr. Bailey's granddaughter arrives, also in answer to a telegram sent by Sheldon Harley. The night is spent in a frantic search for Mr. Bailey and in preparation to fight Thompson, a gang leader who is after a sacred stone which Mr. Bailey has in his possession. Mr. Bailey is found in a lagoon by Mrs. Oakley while she is walking in her sleep and the stone is taken from the body by Paula after she has been put into a trance by Celeste, an octoroon servant, aided by Jules, a Haitian negro. The stone is placed in a cabinet and the story develops along with the sheriff's unsuccessful search for Mr. Bailey, the stone, and also Paula who has disappeared while in the trance. Dr. Cameron accuses Sheldon Harley of being a government agent and Sheldon Harley replies by accusing Dr. Cameron of being Thompson. After taking a key from Mr. Harley, Thompson searches the cabinet for the stone and is killed by the Hdevills breath. Also, another mystery is solved at the end of the play when we find out that Paula and Sheldon Harley are to be married and have known each other for sometime. Page Szxiy-two HTHE SWAN Senior Class Play The play 1'The Swan was presented by the Senior class at the Apollo theater Nlay twenty-fifth, under the direction of Mrs. Greenslit. The scene takes place in the home of Princess Beatrice and the plot is centered around the paramount desire of Princess Beatrice to marry her daughter to a member of the Royalty in order to restore her' family to the throne. Beatrice is, of course, at the height of her glory when Prince Albert arrives on the scene: but, when, after two days he stubbornly refuses to pay any atten- tion to Alexandra, the daughter, Beatrice takes drastic measures to accomplish her aim. The tutor is invited, at the request of Beatrice, by Alexandra herself, to a reception given in honor of the Princes' departure, to act as a tool to arouse the Princes' interest in Alexandra. This works well but-the tutor and princess fall madly in love. In the end, however, Beatrice is made happy by the oncom- ing marriage of Prince Albert and Alexandra.

When a student has successfully passed an entrance examination, he enters the band and is known as a third class musician. Upon the completion of certain requirements, he is made a musician of the second class, then first class musician, and Hnally a superior musician. Chevrons, to be worn on the uni- form, are received after each rise in the cursus honorumf' In the spring of each school year, the band sends soloists and ensemble groups to compete in the district and state contests. The band itself competes in later contests with other school bands. Our band furnishes musical entertainment at both the football and basketball games and takes part in processionals on holidays. Many pep assemblies and assembly singing programs are presented. During the school year two or three concerts are presented in the high school auditorium. The orchestra and glee club also take part in these concerts. OFFICERS President .....,.., ..,....,.,....., . . Delbert Johnson Vice-President ..,.... ......,....., ....

Each year a number of capable musicians are sent to take part in the All-State Orchestra in Urbana, Illinois. To be selected to go to the All-State Orchestra is a very high honor. The orchestra furnishes the music for the public speaking plays, for the senior play, and for the Commencement exercises. Many assembly programs are presented in the auditorium for the benefit of the student body, Several concerts are given in combination With the Band and the Glee Club during the year. The orchestra, band, and glee club have an annual banquet at the high school at which games, dancing, and other forms of entertainment are enjoyed. OFFICERS President . ,.,....... ........... ......

As we have no singing instructor, Mr. Gates graciously took over the training of the Glee Club. There are fifty-siX members in the club consisting of both boys and girls, Eligibility to membership in this organization is by try-outs. Credits are given to those in the chorus. The club rehearses twice a week after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ruth Holt- fretter has acted as the accompanist for this organization. Although the Glee Club has not been in existence very long, it has been doing Very good work under the excellent leadership of Mr. Gates. They have taken part in two band concerts and the Musical Festival. The band, orchestra, and glee club under the direction of Mr, Gates spon- sored a musical festival in the high school gymnasium on the second, third, and fourth of May. The first program featured numbers by the Junior Orchestra, the Washington Junior High Glee Club, the Belvidere Woman's Club Chorus, the Belvidere High School Orchestra, and Mr. Ward, a young Chicago violinist who was guest artist of the occasion. The second program featured a scholarship solo contest followed by a concert by the Bachman Woodwind ensemble, On the last night, the organizations which appeared were as follows: Rockford High School Band, Belvidere High School Glee Club, Capron High School Band, Belvidere High School Band, and Keig Garvin, trombonist.

BELVI STAFF Knowing that the 4'Belvi of last year received an 4'All-American rating, we, the staff of IQ34, put forth our best efforts to maintain this high standard. The staff, consisting of twelve members of the senior class, was chosen by the faculty in the spring of IQ33. In the fall, soon after we began school as serious seniors, our first procedure was to sign the contracts with Pontiac En- graving Company and the printers, Hammerich Printing Service. Next, after talking with Mr, Motherway of the engraving company, we chose the sea as the theme. Pictures and snapshots were then taken, the art work was begun, and the school activities recorded. As soon as the pictures were mounted and write-ups completed, we arranged the 'Adummy , which we took to DeKalb in April. We, the staH, have gladly devoted much time and labor in the hopes of making this 4'Belvi a treasure record by which you may recall the blissful hours of the good old days in Belvidere High School.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS The senior and junior classes of Belvidere High School take a supreme interest in the National Honor Society. In this organization, many students receive a reward for their earnest endeavors. Membership in this society is based on these qualities: scholarship, which means mental superiority shown in all branches of educational work: leadership, that quality endowed in a person to give him complete mastery of himself and the ability to lead othersg character, which includes high ideals and aspirations: and service, which simply means giving the world the best you have , with an untiring interest in the giving of time and energy to school activities. The pupils eligible to election in this society muSt rank in the Hrst third in the scholarship of their respective classes. These are the set limits: fifteen per cent of the graduating class, and not more than five per cent of the junior class to be elected to membership by a council of faculty members. This society was organized in Belvidere High School in February, 1928. Its object is to promote a high standard of ideals in the student body. All honor and best wishes to the long list of present and graduated members of this society.

NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY of SECONDARY SCHOOLS 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 outstanding leaders. Membership in this organization is limited to the boys who have earned a letter in two minor sports. Their averages 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 sportsmanship. The charter for this association was granted in May 1927, to Belvidere High School in order to recognize more fully the unselishness of the boys who in a sportsmanlike manner represent their school in athletics and who at the same time carry their school work successfully.
