BOOSTER CLUB The Booster Club is an organization of sixteen members who rank high in the estima- tion of their classmates and are chosen because they are willing to serve the school and its interests. Each year four members are chosen from the freshman class. The four elected this year were: Charlotte Haack, Alice Countryman, Donald Woods, and Charles Pierce. The Booster Club is the most active group of people in school: boosting', basket- ball, football, cheer-leading, and other athletic interests as well as backing other clubs and projects. The club has sponsored assembly programs for the entire student body which otherwise might have been impossible and has had charge of the selling of tickets to all football and basketball games. After the athletic season of the year is over, Booster Club puts on a banquet for the players, cheer-leaders, and others respon- sible for making the season a success. The members also have charge of the freshman initiation. One of the big events of the fall is the Homecoming Dance for students and alumni, sponsored by the Booster Club. Perhaps the largest affair of the year was the Booster Carnival, featuring a queen contest. The concessions, sponsored by the other organizations, and other attractions made it a gay affair. Music for the dances was furnished by Wally Siegel and Quin Bowen. All the profits of the club are used in supporting other organizations and helping to buy athletic equipment.

B CLUB The B Club is made up of high school boys who have earned majior or minor letters in basketball or football. Managers of these sports and cheer-leaders earning awards are also eligible. The athletic coach is the adviser of this organization. This year's membership is the largest that has been known for a number of years. The initiation of the new members by the old members is usually held in the springg but because of the great number of senior members this year, it was held earlier so that they would be eligible to attend the meeting. The BH Club earn their money by giving candy sales, and this year they also sponsored a Sunset Dance for this purpose. The B Club's outstanding event of the year is the annual B Club dance, which was held this year on May first, for all present BU Club members and alumni members of past graduating classes.

The cast showed exceptional ability under the capable direction of Miss Bowman. Stephen Santry, an author, inherits a small farm in the Missouri Ozarks from an eccentric uncle. Since Stephen is at his wits end to know what to do with his family fwho, he fears, have lost their grasp on the fundamental values of lifej, he hits upon the plan to have them visit the farm. The family arrives. Some time after their arrival, when Stephen has become ex- asperated with their reactions to his hospitality, he issues the ultimatum that he who wants food must work for it, or show a willingness to do so. Some members of the family threaten to go back to Chicago. An unforseen fate intervenes, however, for a neighbor girl who comes over to visit at the Santry house breaks out with scarlet fever, with the result that the family is quarantined for a month. Thus the imprisoned family works out their individual problems, and in the end they all come to agree with Stephe'n's philosophy. Page 44 Cast Lucinda Andrews .,,.

UJONESYH Senior Class Play The senior class presented Jonesy at the Apollo theater Friday, May twenty-ninth, under the direction of Miss Bowman. The Jonesy of the title is Wilber Jones, who comes home from college bringing a fraternity brother with him. Engaged to the girl next door, his vagrant fancy is attracted by the ingenue of the local stock company. His father and mother assume that he is trying to elope with the actress, and try to save him. Before they discover that the girl is the niece of their most influential townsman, the man from whom senior Jones hopes to get a good job, they have let themselves in for many embarrasing complications. With this matter reasonably adjusted, they make the further discovery that their son has sold the family car to pay his poker debts and when the father at- tempts to recover the car he gets himself arrested. Many humorous complications arise that unravel themselves into a happy ending. Anne Jones. . . Mildred Ellis. . Mrs. Jones ...... A Plumber ..,.. Another Plumber ..... ..,.. Henry Jones ..,.

M Y Y BASKETBALL The Purple and Gold squads dropped the season,s openers to Marengo, both teams losing. The next week end turned up a double loss and a double win. Harlem and St. Thomas were the opponents. Dixon beat Belvidere two games, and the following week showed a double loss to Rockford and two victories from Mendota. Then Rochelle, another conference opponent, was defeated by the B. H. S. heavyweights, but the lightweights lost. Before going to the Christmas Tournament, Belvidere defeated the Alumni 24-22. B. H. S. lost to La Grange in the tournament at DeKalb. A doubleheader was split with Marengo-the lightwcights winning easily. Repetition came next week against Harlem. The Harlem heavyweights, considered as a strong bet for state champions, beat Belvidere heavies in the final minutes 22-21. Dixon, North Central Conference champions, won two games from B. H. S. on their home floor and Rochelle split with the Belvidere teams-lightweights won, and the heavies lost. In the final scheduled games of the season Belvidere lost doubleheaders to DeKalb and Sterling. Kirkland managed to go on in the district tournament at Rockford by gai-ning a 20-18 victory over our tournament squad.

The object of the Girls' Athletic Association is to promote ideals of health and sports- manship, and to create interest in girls' athletics. The third annual Mother and Daugh- ter Banquet which is the outstanding social event of the year was held the first week in June. The G.A.A. is one of the most important organizations in the high school. The credit for its success is due to the untiring effiorts and capable direction of its adviser, Miss Vanessa Werth. To raise money for its various activities, G.A.A. promoted many outstanding enter- prises: Dr. Harwood, Here Comes the Show Boat, and the Spring Review, all of which proved to be highly successful. Dr. Harwood, an American explorer, who now makes his home in Africa was on a lecture tour in the United States when he was called back to Belvidere High School for the second time under the auspices of the G.A.A. He brought with him a lion named Sugar, and several monkeys, which he exhibited on the stage. Here Comes the Show Boat, a musical comedy, was produced by the G.A.A. on October seventh and eighth. It was an entirely different enterprise than ever before undertaken by any organization in the high school, and proved to be a complete success. It was skillfully directed by Miss McCormick of the Frederick B. Ingram Company which makes a specialty of producing musical comedies, providing the coach, texts and necessary equipment. The cast members were very competent in portraying their parts. The dancing and singing choruses consisted of boys and girls, who proved most enter- taining. This year marked the second successful production of a Spring Review: This year's Review was titled, 'QA Queen For a Day. The current 'production introduced the debut of the May Queen in Belvidere High School. The five candidates for May Queen: Irene Amos, Barbara Bowley, Billie Higgins, Dorothy McKelvey, and Joan Tabor, were nominated and voted on by the girls of the high school. The girl who received this honor was Billie Higgins. Page 58 SHOW BOAT CAST Sippy .....,.. Captain jerry .... Slats Dorner. . . Happy ...... Cleopatra ....... Colonel Stanton. . . Hal Stanton .....

ACTIVITIES TUMBLING Tumbling is one of the most popular early morning classes. It Was renewed at the request of the G.A.A. members. At the beginning of the year, many girls entered the tumbling classg and from this group, nine were picked to participate in the Spring Review. With last year,s addition of the ballet bar in the gym, the various kinds of bending and stretching exercises necessary for tumbling, as well as ballet have been readily increased. BASKET-SHOOTING Every year the state league of G.A.A. sponsors a basket-shooting contest. The con- test is in shooting the ball from eight designated places on the floor. Each contestant is entitled to a maximum of twenty-four shots in order to make the eight baskets. Twenty-five girls were chosen from the G.A.A. to form a team in order to compete with other G.A.A. teams in Illinois. This is the third year in which the G.A.A. has entered the contest and placed. This year the team made a score of 2.64, placing third in the district. The team members were M. Larson, M. Koch, M. Davey, M. Schulte, G. Packer, B. Whalen, H. Rulison, H. Anderson, B. Higgins, A. Rennie, H. Hicks, G. Lear, I. Amos, W. Bauer, B. Bowley, D. McKelVey, D. Marcellus, E. Jury, T. Harris, F. Rennie, M. Welcher, E. Jukes, M. Taylor, V. Blackledge, and A. Whiten. BALLET Many of the girls who finally decided to take ballet took it because they were told it would not only make them more graceful, but that it was also a foundation to all types of dancing. True enough, ballet doesn't give one the satisfaction of rapid accom- plishment as other types of activity do, but why should we complain when the ballerinos of Europe practice for as long as ten years before making a public appearance? Some of the girls practice long and hard on their ballet for the sheer pleasure they get out of itg while others take the exercises rather unwillingly, but with the hopes that they can some day become one of America's leading ballerinos Page 60 Hold It! A Gym Class G.A.A. ACTIVITIES ARCHERY Archery is rather a late addition to G.A.A.'s Held of sports. The G.A.A. has line new equipment, which they have recently purchased. Last year the first archery tourna- ment was held in the state by G.A.A. Belvidere,s G.A.A. entered and received first place, being awarded with a trophy in the form of an arrow and leather thong attached. Although another tournament was held this year, the G.A.A. did not enter due to the many activities and extra enterprises which they have undertaken. Those who took part in the first annual archery tournament sponsored by the state league were M. McMaster, B. Hall, M. Davey, D. McKelvey, D. Whiten, H. Van Vleet, J. Bartlett, B. Wfhalen, and E. Watkins. VOLLEY BALL Four years ago very little interest was taken in girls' volley ball in high school. Now it is one of the highlights of the season. The crowd that turns out for volley ball is steadily increasing, and the night volley ball game is received with much enthusiasm. This year a new White volley ball, one of the best on the market, was 'purchased by the G.A.A. Much rivalry and skill are displayed in the games between the teams. The teams are comprised of members from the four classes. It is very hard to pick the teams as so many girls turn out and are of equal ability. BASKET BALL The sophomores slid to victory over the seniors, which tied them for first place. The finals were played under great difficulty as the floor was extremely slippery, having been waxed for a previous dance. In spite of this, the girls played a lively game and gave a very credible performance. More interest is being displayed each year in basket- ball, and its followers are more numerous. No night game was held last year, and so the two court basketball was new to the fans, and was introduced to them for the first time this year. Two court basketball makes the game faster and more interesting. The teams will continue to show marked improvement and skill due to the new require- ment of four years of gym work.
