Benvcnuti GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club was organized early in the tall and was under the direction of Miss Rapp, who teaches in the Washington Iunior High. This is the first year the organization has been active since the year 1931-1932. Last year, Mr. Gates organized for both boys and girls a chorus, which took the place of the boys' and girls' glee club. The Girls' Glee Club consisted of forty-two members, and the rehearsals were held Tuesday and Thursday evenings each week after school. Member- ship to this group is only attained by the student passing an examination or try out. The club participated in the monthly concerts which Were sponsored by the music department. These concerts were very popular, and the Glee C1ub's contributions were enthusiastically received. The girls have made consider- able progress during the year: and even though few public appearances have been made, the practice has made it possible to study some Well-known selections.

The number of students who became members was not large, but those who did join the club displayed real interest by their participation in the activities of the organization. The principal aims of the Forum are: to arouse interest in current problems, and to promote a better knowledge of present-day affairs. Toward this end the club sponsored a debate between the University of Missouri and Rockford College, the former taking the negative and the latter upholding the affirmative of the question: Resolved that the several nations shall make government monopolies of the manufacture and sale of all the combat instruments of War. The audience gave the decision to the negative and later enjoyed an open forum. There was a good attendance in spite of the weather. The meetings were either discussion meetings, or a speaker was provided to address the members. During the year, the following people addressed the club: Iudge Oakley, Miss Wilson, ludge Carpenter and Mr. Emmett Sullivan. At some of the meetings, members of the club presented one side of a ques- tion, and then the question was later discussed by all the members. These discussions were both informative and interesting as all the persons present took part in them. OFFICERS President ......,....... ...,..... .,......

Each year four members are chosen from the freshman class, and these members continue in the club for the four years of their high school careers. This year the freshmen chosen Were: Helen Iohnson, Helen Anderson, Richard Law, and Van Dempsey. Members are chosen for their ability to serve and their Willingness to do so at all times. This year has been an especialy active one for the Booster Cub. Beginning the year with the largest sum in the treasury that they have had in many years, they gave a large sum to support athletics during the first term. A series of school assembly programs Were sponsored by the Booster Club so that no student admission need be charged as in other years. These programs proved so successful that plans are being made for a similar series next year. As usual, this year the Booster Club sponsored the annual football and basket- ball banquets which were greatly enjoyed, especially since the basketball men had the privilege of hearing Dr. Gordon of Rockford at one banquet. The organization Was in charge of a very successful Homecoming Dance this year for Belvidere's loyal students and alumni. And last-and perhaps the biggest success of allecomes the Booster Carnival. Although this year the carnival was put on Without the queen contest, it was a gay affair with many concessions, sponsored by all the different organizations in school. The popular Quin Bowen's Orchestra played both nights. All the efforts and money of this club are used in supporting and backing other organizationseespecially athleticsewhenever they need it.

The purpose of this organization is to promote the interest of the school and community in the athletic side of school activities. For the last few years, the B Club has challenged the Booster Club to a season ticket selling contest for the basketball games. The competition between the organizations increases the number of tickets sold and thereby assures a Qood crowd for the season. The club holds an annual B Club dance in honor of the alumni members. The high light ot the year is the initiation, which is held once a year to induct new members into the organization. This year fifteen new members were admitted, and the initiation was considered the best one ever given. The initiates were dressed in comical manner and furnished a lot of arnuse- ment tor the student body. The initiation lasted for a whole day, and a pro- gram was presented in the assembly by the new members, who gave imper- sonations of the various screen stars. The membership is made up of boys who have earned major or minor letters in either football or basketball or those who have received letters as cheerleaders or student managers.

The season was opened by a weenie roast at the Belvidere Park. At the first business meeting of the year, the officers were elected. The constitution was presented to the club at the second meeting by a committee that had been appointed. The constitution provided that all members must have an average of seventy-five or above for the first semester of required mathematics. The members must not necessarily be taking mathematics at the present time. The president must be an upper classman. This constitution was approved and accepted by the members of the club. At a meeting in November, a movie called, Communing with the Heavens was shown. For Christmas, the members of the organization made attractive scrap-books, which were given to some of the poor children. At the beginning of the second semester, the new club members who had an average of seventy-five or above were initiatedg and a point system was worked out whereby the members could earn pins. The system included: making note-books containing interesting phases of mathematics, giving re- ports on mathematicians, and passing a test. At one meeting the club had a pot-luck supper and at the end of the year a big picnic. At all of these meetings, the study of mathematics was carried on in one way or another.

The active members during the current year have numbered forty. Regular meetings have been held each month. The committes in charge of each meeting have furnished entertaining and instructive programs. One of the most interesting meetings was held at Christmas time when Mrs. Paul Parsons talked on her visit to Rome. Other programs have consisted ot initia- tion of new members, competitive games in which all participated, debate, moving pictures and a melodrama of a classical nature. The club closed the year with its annual banquet and dance. Membership dues were twenty-five cents a semester. Additional funds have been raised by candy and hot dog sales, a booth and flower girls at the Booster Club Carnival, and the presentation of the play Elmer. This money has made possible a variety of activities. Books and pictures have been pur- chased for the use of the Latin students. Belvidere High School participated in the translation contest sponsored by the bimillenium celebration of Horace's birth. Refreshments and prizes have been furnished each meeting throughout the year. A newspaper has been written and printed for the club members. Year books including dates and committees for each meeting were furnished each member at the beginning of the year. The Roman banquet in May rounded out a full year of work and enjoyment for the members.

The Hi-Y is a group of sophomore, junior, and senior boys whose purpose is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Meetings are held every other week on Friday afternoons. About once a month the cub has a bean feed at the Y.M.C.A. Generally a speaker who is especially interesting to young men gives a talk on some phase of the part these boys will play in the future. At the beginning of the school year, Mr. Conklin, the adviser of the Rock- ford Hi-Y, came to one of the meetings and explained the purpose of the Hi-Y and what a club of this sort could do to help the school and community. Shortly after this, the officers and advisers formed a committee to choose the charter members of the club. The membership was limited to twenty: but if a student not selected as cr charter member should by his regular attendance at meetings show that he was interested in the work of the club, he would be admitted as a member. The members purchased pinsg and at an impressive induction ceremony at the Y.M.C.A., conducted by members of the Rockford Hi-Y, these pins were formally presented. At this induction ceremony were two state officers of the Y.M.C.A. who gave short talks on the duty of young men at this time. Under the able assistance of its advisers, Mr. MacAllister and Mr. Harkless, the Hi-Y should do a great deal of good in the school and community by carrying out the purpose of the club.

The theme is modern but a few of the characters express some of the mid- Victorian ideas. Two of the main characters, Elizabeth and Catherine, are twins. Circumstances effect an amusing competition between them. Their aristocratic grandmother promises as a birthday gift to one a generous supply of dress material, to the other, a month in town. Elizabeth chooses the month in town. She hits upon the idea of making herself the idol of the season. To do this she procures Early Victorian clothes, and so picturesque and piquant is she that the illustrated papers boom her, and the youth of the town are at her feet. Catherine also comes to towngwith papa and mamrnafthough only for a few days. She mischievously takes a hand in the game, and by way of contrast to Elizabeth's prim formality affects the pose of a slangy, athletic girl of the day. Grandma looks on, halt bewildered, half amused. Mama is wholly bewildered. Ultimately Elizabeth becomes engaged to a young man she has infatuated, and Catherine also finds a life companion. CAST Rev.

The members may receive public recognition for some exceptional piece of Work or for taking part in some competitive exercise. Sometimes pupils seem to make school duties second- ary in importance-this is wrong. Because scholarship should be recognized and emphasized, the National Honor Society was organized. It represents the fundamental objectives for which schools are instituted and gives recog- nition to those who have attained most nearly the desired ends. The students eligible to election to this society must rank in the first fourth of their respective classes. Not more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class nor more than five per cent of the junior class can be elected to mem- bership in this chapter. The membership is based upon Scholarship, which is superior mental ability: Leadership, which is the power of personality to blaze the trail in man's upward climb, Character, which includes all good qualities and high ideals: and Service, which is a willingness to do enthusi- astically any duty whenever called upon. The students outstanding in all these qualities are elected by the faculty each year. To be elected to membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that may come to any pupil in high school. Belvidere High School joined this society in February, 1928, and has a long list of graduate members of whom We may be proud. OFFICERS President ...... ....

A theme has been eliminated in the yearbook, but the staff has tried to keep this annual just as artistic and up to standard as those of other years have been. The photography of still life for the division pages by York McClary has attracted complimentary attention from the engravers, and the staff hopes it will please our public. Under a new contract, it was necessary to send much of the Belvi to the engravers earlier than in other yearsg however, with thirteen alert workers on the staff, the material was sent on time and in fine condition. The work of the year began with the drive for subscriptions: then followed the taking of the snapshots of school life, and senior and group pictures, the writing of the calendar and finally the composition of the write ups of all the different school activities. The first half of the book was in the hands of the printers early in April, and the last half was completed the end of the month. We, the staff, hope that this book will prove a storehouse of memories, keeping fresh your mental pictures of the events of the good, old year of l935. Editor-in-Chief ..... Editor-in-Chief ......,.

S. opened its schedule on September twenty-second, by playing a U-U dead-lock with Harlem. The second game was the high-point of the sea- son, due to the fact that for the first time in history of football rivalry be- tween the two schools, Belvidere held Harvard to a 6-6 tie. Although out-weighed man for man, Belvidere played an admirable game. The ponies, playing their first game, came through with a smashing 14-O win. The next game took the team to DeKalb for the only night game of the season. Belvidere, although beaten by a score of 26-6, outplayed their opponents in all departments of the game: but Belvidere in the third quarter, unable to stop the passing attack of the Barbs, went down fighting to the end. The lightweights suc- cumbed to the hard smashing Barblets for a 26-6 defeat. Playing the first conference game of the season on the home field with Mendota, Belvidere showed vast improvement, playing heads-up-ball and displaying a Well-bal- anced running attack. The fourth quarter ended with Mendota 7, Belvidere 6. Because the lightweights showed superiority in all parts, the game came through with a 7-U victory. Belvidere's next conference tilt was played at home also. The game was played on a Wet and muddy field. Dixon, led by Underwood, scored two touchdowns, and converted for one extra point. s AW!

The team journeyed to Sycamore for their last non-con- ference game. Although both teams were defeated, they were the two most thrilling games of the season. The score was: Sycamore 7, Belvi U. The last home conference game and also the B.H.S. Homecoming game brought Rochelle to local battling grounds. Neither team, playing in a sea of mud, could provide the scor- ing punch. Belvidere in the last few seconds ended up on Rochelle's four yard line: but the whistle ended the game, with the score O-O. The local lights won the preliminary game by putting the skids under the Rochelle team to the tune of 9-O. On November tenth, the teams journeyed to Sterling for the last conference and also the last game of the season. Playing against an experienced. team, Belvidere suffered under the pang of defeat. Sterling's win. gave them undisputed claim to the conference championship. The light- Weights, though beaten, won the game because of Sterling's use of an in- eligible man. To an outsider the season migh have seemed unsuccessfulg but to the players and those closely associated, the season was a success.

Coach McAllister was handicapped by total lack of experienced men for the lightweight squad. F or the first game, Belvidere journeyed to Marengo and were defeated both gamesg but the following week, Belvidere took St. Thomas to the score of 23-20. The next game took the team to Waterman where Belvidere suffered the worst defeat of the season. On the return game with Marengo, Belvidere turned the tables and completely swamped their opponents 40-16. Belvidere opened their conference season at Rochelle and won a thrilling 18-14 game. With two successive victories behind them, Belvidere again opposed the strong Waterman quintet and, although rated the underdog, easily defeated them. After the Christmas vacation, Belvidere encountered Sterling and suffered the first defeat of the schedule on the home floor. Belvidere retaliated the next week-end by making a long journey to Mendota and winning a pair of games. In the game with Rockford, Belvidere, handicapped by lack of height, took a drubbing on their home floor. Playing at home against Dixon, Belvidere was handed a defeat in the last few seconds of play. The last game of the first round of the conference went to DeKalb because lack of height spelled defeat. Belvidere opened their second round of the conference by beating Rochelle in a close fought battle. lourneying to Sterling the next week, the Twin City Five again administered defeat to the local cagers. Mendota in the second meeting of the season bowed to Belvidere's fast breaking style. Next game took the team to Rockford when for the second time of season Rockford proved their superiority.

The lightweights, who had been having tough luck through the whole season, held the fast DeKalb lightweight five for an overtime tilt in which Belvidere was beaten by two points. ln the first game of the District Tournament which was held at Rockford, Belvidere drew Rocktony and after a close battle, Rockton was defeated 32-21. Be1videre's next opponent was Durand whom the B.H.S. team easily subdued with a score of 32-12. Playing in the semi-finals against the strong Rockford team, Belvidere was finally eliminated from the tournament contestants. B. 1-I. S.

Miles NATIONAL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY The members of the National Athletic Scholarship Society are a picked group oi young men who have participated in the athletics ot the high school, earning in any of the sports one major letter or two minor letters. Their average in school work must, for three consecutive semesters, have been equal to or higher than the general average of the school. They must have shown in their competition in sports only the best sportsmanship, and in their school lite only the best citizenship. The purpose ot this chapter in Belvidere High School is to promote among the athletes the idea ot scholarship, to develop more versatile and outstanding leaders in the secondary schools ot United States, and to put the ideas of sportsmanship on a high basis. tContinued from Page 62l Clayton Kiester Cuzz was the biggest man on the squad, and his height made him a valuable man under the basket.

Tabor l GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION This year the Girls' Athletic Association feels that it has been quite success' ful in carrying out its aims and ideals. Fifty-three pledges were initiated on December eighth, making a total membership of one hundred and thirty-five. During November G.A.A. accepted a challenge to sell season basketball tickets, competing against the Booster and B Clubs. The G.A.A. members were victorious and the lcsers gave them a banquet. Belvidere entered the state basket shooting tournament March eighteenth. Although they made a better score than last year, they only placed third in our district. Several morn- ing classes were organized, so that members could earn extra points for their awards. They included: tennis, tapping, archery, and ballet. The organization made money by holding barbecue, candy, and bakery sales. G.A.A. spon- sored a lecture by Harold Eide, an artic explorer, in February and had charge of the following concessions at the carnival: tea room, fortune telling, movie, minstrel show, and the dart throwing contest. Belvidere held its first play day on May eleventh. The schools invited were: Pecatonica, Harvard, Crystal Lake, Kingston, Capron, Winnebago, South Beloit, Genoa, and Huntley. The first Annual Mother and Daughter Banquet was given last May. This year's 1 activities were concluded with the second banquet on lune fourth.

The principal sports oi the year were: volleyball, basketball, baseball, and tumbling. This year two court basketball was played, instead of the three court basketball played in former years. More attention than usual was directed to toot defects. Following Dr. Bain's lecture on April seventeenth, the girls took advantage of his offer to have their foot prints made. An exercise class for foot defects was organized. lt stressed especially the strengthening of week arches and ankles. There were various other physical education classes, but these were extra- curricular activities, carried on as early morning classes. During the last part of the school year, those taking gym were allowed to take up either tumbling, baseball, or tennis. The gym itseli was newly painted this year and a ballet bar was added, which made the organization of a ballet class possible. The gym classes also received a new volley ball. Another new improvement was a private entrance to the gym office. Miss Werth was assisted in the gym activities throughout the year by Betty Morehouse and Dorothy McKelvey.
