FOOTBALL On September fifteenth the B. H. S. heavies opened their season at home, playing Dundee to a scoreless tie. The following week they traveled to Crystal Lake where they were beaten 7-0 and on September twenty-ninth played their second tie of the season at Mendota. Returning to their home field for the next game, the team played the most thrilling game of the season against DeKalb, but in spite of stellar running by Stan Reiman and line playing by the whole team, they were defeated 8-7. On October thirteenth the heavies romped over Dixon, our bitterest rivals, to the score of 19-6. The team played the remaining games at home, being defeated by Geneva on October twentieth but bringing the season to a strong finish by conquering Sterling, 19-6, and Harvard, .LO-0. All credit for a successful season must be given to our line coaches, Vic Baumgartner, Bill Craig and Yern l.entz.

VVRIGI-1'I' Guard Guard Forward C e ntfr Forward Buck was prob- ably the most con- sistent player on the whole team. This is his last season for B. H. S. Bob was this year's acting captain and was one ofthe best ball handlersin the conference. In spite of many badspills, Maxie was one of the team's highest Scflrefs. Bob proved to be an excellent re- bounder and a good all-around player. He has another year to play for B. H. S. 'ABuzz is a very consistent player. He will be back next year. Proud to be playing in one of the finest gyms in northern Illinois, B. H. S. teams made the basketball season of 1939-40 one of the greatest that Belvidere has ever witnessed. In spite of the fact that only two heavyweight lettermen returned, Coach Craig did a line job in building up a winning team. On December first the majors christened the new building by defeating Harlem 41-14. After the defeat of Woodstock and Marengo, the heavies lost to Dixon 26-16. On December twenty-second, in the presence of an overflow crowd, Belvidere nosed out Rockford 28-24, in a game that was packed with thrills from beginning to end. The B. H. S. heavies won their next game from Princeton 34-18, but then suffered four straight defeats at the hands of Dundee, DeKalb, Sterling, and Rockford. They came out of the slump to beat Mendota 31-23 but then lost a thriller to Dixon 21-19. On January thirtieth the classy VVaterman team came to Belvidere and won by a score of 20-15. After defeating Princeton on their Hoor, the heavies returned home to win a very exciting game from DeKalb 24-23. Traveling to Harlem, Belvidere emerged victorious in that scrap. The last two home games brought defeats for Sterling and Marengo, as did the one remaining tilt of the regular schedule. This thriller, Belvidere versus Mendota, ended with a score of 32-30. Largely as a result of the facilities available in the new com- munity gymnasium building, Belvidere was granted the regional tournament for 1 Q .1 0 is F 1. 1' 1 ww H Q JAMES CRAIG Roar.

The big event of the year was the Spring Revue, given on Nlay 24th. As usual, this event was a great success, as the girls had worked very hard on this, the lirst to be given in the new building. The Queen's Court was made up of the following students: Sm1iw'.vfl'hy'llis Balentyne, Barbara Buker, Ruth Cornish, Adaline Ryan, Beth Sisson. f71mi0r.vfBetty Rulison, Mary Dreelan, .lanace Schindler. This year the girls were hostesses at a Play Day held on April 6th. G. A. A. members from Durand, South Beloit, and Harlem were present and the day was thoroughly en-ioyed by all. The theme for the event was Kiddies' Day . Lunch was served at noon and later a program was presented, the numbers being given by representatives from all the towns participating. Another occasion, always greatly en-ioyed by G. A. A. members and their mothers, took place this year on May 28th. This was the annual Mothers' and Daughters' Banquet. The G. A. A. had another doughnut sale this year in order to raise money for new equipment. The girls who proved themselves to be the best saleswomen were Betty Gorman, YYinona Smith, and Marjorie Schwebke. The Senior Girls won the championship for volleyball this year and also the final basketball game, which was played for the first time in the new community building.

Serving as a memory book, the Belvi presents pictures and records of school activities. The staff members are chosen by the faculty in the spring so work for the book may be begun immediately after school begins in the fall. As in past years, the engraving was done this year by the Pontiac Engraving Company of Chicago and the printing by the Rogers Printing Company of Dixon.

Besides having a neu. adviser, the kind of type was changed. Formerly, the paper was printed at ihe newspaper ofiice. However, due to the large expense of printing, it was decided to use a mimeographing process this year. Thus the start' memlaers are alile to try their own ideas and experiments. ln order to luuy new equip- ment, the Hel-Hi News sells chocolate milk daily and sponsored the annual Variety Show.

E 1940 RELVI 71 National Honor Society of Secondary Schools To raise the ideals ofthe students and to maintain the standards of high schools, these are the two main objectives of the National Honor Society. Belvidere was granted a charter to this society in February, 1928. Students who are out- standing in certain qualifications are elected by members of the faculty. These qualifications include scholarship, leadership, character and service. The students eligible must also rank in the first fourth of their respective classes. Not more than fifteen percent of the senior class nor five percent of the junior class can be Elected as members during any one school year. Present members are listed elow: RUTH CORNISH WINIFRED SMITH BETH SISSON ALICE DEJARNATT VIRGINIA LINCOLN VIVIAN NEASE SHIRLEY SAWYER GLENN TRIPP ROBERT FUNDERBURG LAURIE LARSON THE MANTLE To the junior boy or girl ranking highest in scholarship, leadership,sports- manship, service and character, in other words, to the one who receives the mantle goes one of the highest honors awarded by Belvidere High School. This year Beth Sisson was chosen by the faculty to hold this honor. Until Class Day, the student knows nothing of the decision. A short time before the program takes place, he is notified and then presented with the mantle by his senior predecessor. National Athletic Scholarship Society of Secondary Schools To the boys who are outstanding in any of the major sports Cfootball, basket- ball, and trackj in high school and who earn a major or two minor letters in these sports, goes the honor of membership in this society. The other qualifications which are necessary for a boy to become a member of this organization include maintenance of an average in school work equal to the general average of the school for three consecutive semesters, and the possession of two qualities which add greatly to a boy's character, good sportsmanship and good citizenship. MEMBERS GAIUS BARR XNILLIAM GRADY ROBERT LEAR ROBERT LAW ROBERT BUKER KENNETH SPENCER ROBERT LINCOLN ROBERT FUNDERBURG STANLEY REIMAN EARL WRIGHT ALLEN KIESTER BERNELL KOPPEN JOHN LOOP WILLIAM SCHUETT FORREST MILES JUNE MAD The class of 1940, with June Mad as its presentation, was the first to put on its class play in the new auditorium. Miss Ruth Bowman was director. June Mad shows a young girl in the throes of her first infatuation. Penny VVood falls in love with Roger Van Vleck, a young sophisticated college man. Roger becomes interested in Julie Harris, Mervyn's sweetheart. Mervyn has a great deal of trouble with Milly Lou, the neighborhood nuisance who has attached herself to him. It is only after Chuck, Julie's brother and Penny's friend, becomes lost in his glider that everything is straightened out. ' 1 i g SN AP SHO 94111191111 I l,m',xl.
