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
