Are you the senior class president this year? Sure, and I'm really proud to be. We've certainly got a swell class. In our freshman year we were supposedly a little green, but we still got into the swing of democratic elections by voting for class officers. They were Bob Berry, Richard Winkelman, Carol Gorman, and Ellen Christensen. Jo Ellen Hoffman and Tom Newell were our first Homecoming candidates. During Christmas time, we showed the upper-classmen that we knew something about art by winning first place in the decoration contest. Our display in the upper hall was a portrayal of the Christmas story. At Council Carnival our candidates, Donna Jo Falkenstein and Paul Rednour, were runners-up, being edged out by only one vote! For our sophomore year the leaders of our class were Richard Winkelman, Lois Carlson, and Janet Ackerman. Carol Leonard and Terry Asbury were our Homecoming candidates. For Christmas we decorated the stairway in the main hall- way as a church. Although it took second place, we thought it was outstanding. We started our victorious streak by winning the Council Carnival crowns., Donna Church and Bob Harms were queen and king. Our theme for the Tri Class Dance was 'Gay Carousel. ' Heading our junior year were Ronald Goetz, Tom Newell, Kay Cooper, and Jo Ellen Hoffman. We had a happy Home- coming by seeing our candidates, Sallie Strate and Marvin Schuster, crowned as queen and king. Having the stage to de- corate for Christmas, we made the shepherd scene which took first place. At a tense Council Carnival, Carol Gorman and Jim I-Ioines, our candidates were the reigning pair. The total amount of votes cast was more than ever before. A record breaking crowd enjoyed our Junior-Senior Prom, 'Orchids in the Moonlight! Well, here I am to the last year. Our senior officers are yours truly, Bob Harms, Lucille Stauffer, and Dorothy Johnson. We were really on pins and needles this year at Homecoming until it was accounced that our class had won again. Judie Howlett and Roger Steinke were our candidates. We decorated the stage if J svn!!! ,J Nl' ANNOUNCEMENT COMMITTEE Kay Cooper, Richard Holmquist, Ju ie Howlett, Elmer Countryman Mary Coppemoll, at Christmas.

I want the low down on this class that you head. Okey doke. As freshmen our whole class had loads of enthusiasm. We started off by electing Charles Cowger, Beverly Turner, Ann Keating, and Joyce Wimberley as class officers. Jerry Cunningham and Peggy Luckow were our successful candidates for Homecoming. Keeping up our enthusiasm, we took first prize with the Nativity scene on the stage at Christmas time. Doris Clausius and Jerry Rowe represented us at the Council Carnival, but we missed the crown by two votes. As we returned, sophomores in the fall, our enthusiasm was still running wild. Judy Peterson, Dennis Conwell, Sandra Barr, and Linda Sewell were our leaders, and we were bound and determined to do well. Judy Peter- son and Paul Artlip were picked for our candi- dates for Homecoming. Decorating the bird cages, we really got to work and took second prize with the theme 'One God, One World. Virginia Cooper and Darryl Moss were our candidates for Council Carnival. Now we've finally become upper-classmen! It seems wonderful, but we have one big problem--making money for the prom. Gordon Medaris, that's me, Dave Smith, Gene Menge, and Ruth Carlson are the officers this year. As usual Homecoming came first and we chose Julie Oliver and Dave Smith to be our repre- sentatives. We tried hard, but we didn't do too well. At Christmas we decorated the bird cages again, only this year our theme was 'Peace on Earth. ' We've learned a lot these last three years and are determined to make next year our best one yet.

Paging Doug Edmonds! l'm Edmonds. What's up? The Belvi staff is after the history of your class. Can you help us out? Sure! Shall I start out with our 'green' freshman year? That'd be swell! Lee Zierke led the class our freshman year. To assist him were Roger Koper, Rochelle Wascher, and Danni Whitehead. When our first Homecoming rolled around, we elected Andrea Howlett and Alan Steurer to represent our class. At Christmas time 'Joy to the World' was our theme. The dec- oration was the Nativity Scene, displayed above the main stairway. Gay Grenlund and David Ferguson were selected to represent our class at Council Carnival. As freshmen it sounds like you did all right. What about this year? Well, our officers were elected last spring. They are yours truly, Doug Edmonds, Dana Van Epps, Kay Johnson, and Mary Alice Julin. At Homecoming our campaign committee worked hard to get votes for our candidates, Kay Johnson and Burnell Barr. At Christmas our display at the stair- way carried out the theme of the 'Three Wisemen. ' The decorations were silhouettes of the three wisemen looking at a shiny silver star against a green aluminum back- ground. We were all real proud of this design. Now, we are all looking forward to the exciting junior year. Lingua Latina primo pueris puellisque Americanis nova erat sed nunc non terret.

I-low about an interview for Be1vi? Sure, what would you like to know? What was your first thought when you entered high school? It looked a little big and kinda com- plicated. I was sorta afraid of what might lie ahead. Do you mean social life or just the year as a whole? The subjects and teachers worried me the most, but I guess it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. The freshmen were high on the honor roll a greater part of the year. When you were elected class president, what did you think it would involve? I thought that when I was elected president, it would be more fun than work, but I soon learned differently. As president my first job was to pick a social committee to help take care of campaigning, decorating, and all other class social activities. What did your class do at Homecoming? When Dave Curtis and Sharon Burton were elected king and queen candidates, I thought we would have a good chance to win, but since it was our first year, we were still learning the ropes and just didn't quite make it. Our next big job was Christmas deco- rations. When it was time to draw, l picked the space over the front entrance. lt seemed the most difficult spot to decorate, but we worked hard on our theme which was 'The First ChristmaS.' A shadow- box with a night scene in the background, was the setting for the thatched-roofed stable. Dolls dresses as Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child, and angels hovering above the stable completed our decorations which captured second place.

Page 65 Carol Slater Page 66 Carol Leonard ZVUNAR MEMURIAL AND MANTLE As a junior, Carol Slater received the Rosemary Zvonar Memorial at the annual GAA Mother and Daughter Banquet held in the spring. This award is presented each year to a junior girl who, in the opinion of the officers of GAA, has shown the most outstanding qualities of personality, sports- manship, and service. Carol has shown all these qualities during her senior year as well as during her first three years in ser- vice to her class and to the school. She kept this trophy in her possession until the banquet the following year when she pre- sented it to another junior. Each year the recipient's name is engraved on the trophy. The Mantle, which is the highest award a junior can receive, was presented to Carol Slater also. The recipient is cho'sen by the faculty for excellence in scholarship, leader- ship, character, and service to the school. It is presented on Class Day by the one who received the award the previous year. D.A.R.AWARD Every year the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution sponsors a good citizen award. The aim of the project is to build youthful character and to call attention to the following qualities-Dependability-Service-Leader- ship-Patriotism. The girls of the senior class select three of their members whom theybelieve are best qualified on the basis of the four characteristics. From these three girls the faculty selects one to represent the school as its good citizen. Carol Leonard was chosen from this year's class. She receives a pin and certificate of award, and will have a chance to be selected as the winning girl of Illinois who receives a S100 Govern- ment Bond. Gllllii' and BUYS STATE Pat Fitch, Don Ryoti, and John Starr were chosen by the Belvidere Chapter of the Legion Auxiliary, the American Legion, and the VFW to represent Belvidere High School at Illini Girls State and Premier Boys State. These students are elected as juniors on the basis of scholarship, character, loyalty, and service to the school.

Page 70 TUII 'I' Representing student opinion, the Student Council aimed to create a har- monious relationship between the stu- dent body and the administration and between the school and the community. Twenty-nine elected representa- tives, one from each homeroom, and six hold over members made up the council. The able advisors of the group were Mrs, Sellers and Miss Brannah, This year's council was the organi- zer of the Northeastern Illinois Con- ference Sub-District, a branch of the Northeast-Northwest District of Stu- dent Councils in Illinois. Carol Slater was elected chairman of the new sub- district for the remainder of the school term, Belvidere's representatives were in charge of drawing up a con- stitution. This new organization in- cludes all of the member schools of the newly formed Northeastern Illinois Conference, which deals largely with athletics. The purpose of the councils of the conference schools is to work together to create good sportsmanship, to pro- vide for exchange assemblies, and to have meetings at which similar school problems may be discussed. Many activities are sponsored by the Council throughout the year. The Freshman Reception is held for the purpose of acquainting new students UUUNUIL with the various school organizations. Elections of class officers and Student Council President are held to give practice in democratic voting proced- ures. Organization officers, class officers, and Student Council members are officially installed at the beginning of the school year, During the year several interesting assembly programs are chosen and paid for by the Council, The Christmas Decoration Contest adds to the yuletide spirit and arouses class competition, The Student Council Carnival, held in the spring, is promoted as a means of aiding organizations and classes in raising money. High-lighting the Carnival is the crowning of the king and queen from one of the four compe- ting classes. The second annual student directory was published primarily for the con- venience of the students of Belvidere High School, The council raised money to finance these activities through the sale of book covers, car reflectors, and loyalty badges. With the cooperation of the student body and faculty, this year's Council has functioned to meet the needs and interests of the students and to maintain its importance in Belvidere High.

GIRL ' ATHLETIC In Belvidere High School the Girls' Athletic Association is the second largest organization. This group is un- der the supervision of Miss Werth. Promoting good health and good sportsmanship among the girls are the main purposes of GAA, Any girl in higmh school is eligible to become a mem er of GAA. A girl first becomes a pledge. The pledges this year were required to wear badges every day to school for about three weeks. In order for a girl to be a mem- ber, she must earn twenty-five points a year. By attending before and after school classes the girls earn these points. Hikes are also held so that the girls may earn more points. All activities must be supervised in order to receive credit. Beginning the year's activities, all GAA members, all non-members, and all pledges are invited to take part in the annual Buddy Hike. This year the girls hiked five miles into the country where they climaxed the event by hav- ing a picnic supper. Sentimental Sleighride, the theme for the winter formal dance, hi h- lighted the winter activities of tie school. The scenes on the walls showed many picturesque winter events. Dazzling icicles hung from tinsel rope which was strung across the entire ceiling. A life- sized horse seemed to be pulling a young couple in a sleigh. The one hundred and sixty couples that attended danced to the dreamy music of Bill Engberg's orchestra. Punch was served in the social room which represented a typical farm house kitchen.

This Club is an organization of athletic letter winners, managers, and coaches. The only requirement for mem- bership is to have won a letter in an interscholastic sport or as a mana- ger, To maintain membership a number of working credits must be earned, The chief functions of the club include running the concession stand at all home football and basketball games, ushering at the games, and helping to conduct the annual Frosh- Soph Tournament, From the profit of these functions awards are given to qualifying sen- , iors, This year's B Club started another project, a manager's award plaque given as a memorial to Blake Rairdin who had served as head manager of the BHS athletic pro- gram, The plaque was given to the junior or senior manager who showed the best examples of service, scholar ship, and citizenship during the year, This award will be given each year at the annual BHS Sports Banquet. PEP CL B Functioning as the largest organization in BHS, the Pep Club creates pep and enthusias- tic spirit among the students. Pep Club supervises all Homecoming events. Honoring the basketball players in the spring, the Pep Club sponsors the Basketball Bounce. The success of the club's ac tivities would have been impos- sible without the assistance of FFP Eva f Miss Wert, the club advisor, By selling pom-poms and of- ficial Homecoming programs and from membership dues, the Pep Club raises sufficient funds to carry on its activities. By boosting the Bucs, arousing school spirit, and encouraging good sportsmanship, the Pep Club plays an important part in strengthening the morale at Belvi- dere High School. At the basketball games this year, the students in the pep sec- tion have worn white blouses and shirts to make a more effective cheering group. E ADVISORY BOARD First Row: J. Simons, K. Dobbins, D.

BEL-III Get the copy ready. Only one more day to meet the deadline at the printers. These were familiar words to the staff of the school paper, the BEL-HI NEWS. Each student received a copy of the BEL-HI NEWS about every two weeks. The paper was made up of either four or six pages. Once every month the students were given a copy of the ROTO, a small- scale graphic section furnished as a free publice service by the National Scholastic Press Associa- tion. Each page editor planned his page and then gave assignments to his reporters about three weeks before the date of publication, All reporters had a specific number of words to write. After the assignments were handed in, the page editors edited and corrected the articles. Most of the work was done during journa- lism class, This class was added to the BHS curriculum this past year. Following all necessary corrections, the staff typists typed the copy. The copy and the page layouts were taken to the printers NEWS REPORT ERS First Row: Alice Huedepohl, Anita Kuss, Carol Leonard, Jean Wendell, Sandra Glass.

When the proofs came back, the staff proof- read them and made all final ad- justments. The next step was the final printing and then the distribut- ion to the student body. The advertising manager and his assistant took charge of sell- ing space for the ads, and the business manager made and col- lected all bills for these ads. The exchange editor's job was to mail copies of the BEL-HI NEWS to many surrounding schools, local businessmen, and alumni. The co-editors supervised all of the work, saw that the deadlines were met, and made sure that the students received their copies on time. Students receive the BEL-HI NEWS free of charge. The paper is financed by Community Unit School District 100 and by ads obtained from local businesses. This year the staff had a new advisor, Miss Burleigh, who has had much experience in the journa- listic field. Many changes have been made under her supervision.

JU IUR UA An essential part of the financial program for the Prom each year is the continuous effort of the Junior Candy Girls. Selling paper before school in the morning and at noon, and selling candy after school and at home games during football and basketball season is the means by which the money is raised. Little boys as well as high school boys like candy after school, DY GIRL Approximately thirty-five girls make up this volunteer organization. Two girls are assigned to sell paper, two are assi ned to sell candy at school, and four are assigned to sell at each home game. These girls are assisted by their advisors, Miss Bennett and Miss I-linrichs. TUBE T PRUJEUTHIISTS Many people think that all the Stu- dent Projectionists do is show movies whenever they are called upon to assist the teachers. However, this is not true. This volunteer group of seventeen boys and one girl is trained to mend films, and play and make recordings. Another part of their job as projectionists is to transport equipment from school to school and from room to room. Occasionally they are asked to show movies to various organizations in town.

At the beginning of the year meet- ings are held with Mr. Ryan, their advisor, to train new members and to refresh the memories of the more ex- perienced members. Few people realize the work that this group does. Very often the students are unaware of their existence. How- ever, if BHS were without this group, their important service would truly be missed.

Miss Hinrichs, the librarian and the Library Club advisor, neededrnuch help in moving the books and other library equipment. The members of the club all helped to make the library a neat and orderly place. Once the big job was over, which took nearly a semester, the student librarians settled down to certain tasks which any library that functions proper- The smallest, but probably the most constructive organization in Belvidere High School is Debate. This year there were ten members on the team. Under the direction of Miss Helli- gas, these members learn to express their opinions on matters in a clear and concise fashion. The team debated on the problem ly requires, Although the club's function is primarily a service to the school, it also has several social activities. A spaghetti supper Was given at the beginning of the year to welcome fresh- man members. Late in January, the club gave a Faculty Tea to show the teachers the new books, the blonde furniture, the librarian's office, and the conference room--all needed innovations. ATE Resolved: That federal subsidies should be granted to schools, In October the team attended a clinic at Northwestern University. At this workshop the members learned the fundamentals of debating. This was a one day event which was composed of different meetings which discussed problems of debate.

I IIU TRIAL ART UL B Anyone interested in gaining knowl- edge of the fundamentals of industry may become a member of this club, One of the main purposes of the Industrial and Vocational Arts Club is to promote better opportunities for leadership for the members by develop ing a better understanding of the princi ples of modern industr . To provide opportunities for social, achievement through activities of the club is another purpose. Through talks by industrial personnel and through shopwork, draft- ing, and movies, the boys learn about craftsmanship, Each day the students spend two periods in machine shop to learn drafting and drawing, This year the entire club went to the state convention in East Moline instead of taking the annual tri to Chicago. The three sections ofpthe state met at the convention to learn more about industry as a whole and to discuss the duties of the club mem- bers. The membership of the club has grown each year. The total enrollment or this year, the eleventh in the club's history, was sixty-two. The same point system as last year was in effect. Each member had to earn at least eight cred- its to stay in the club. These credits were earned by working in the check- room and other volunteer work such as serving on committees. The major source of income was from the o era- tion of the Community Building clleck- room, Mr. Moss and Mr. Meyerhofer, the co-advisors, are proud of their well organized club.

The yearbook staff is faced with the all-important task of presenting by picture and story the school in action, This year the staff, composed of seniors, worked together continuously in order to produce the 1956 BELVI. Meetings of the staff were held three times during the summer so that when school started in the fall, the staff was prepared to start working immediately. The first important item was get- tin the durnm made. The dumm S Y Y is the working plan that the staff follows, The staff photographers started to take the faculty pictures, and Mr.Y0rk Mc- Clary too the student pictures which were then identified and placed on the right pages, By this time the first dead- line, December 1, had arrived, and one fourth of the pages were sent to the printers, Even before these pages were sent, work was begun on the pages for the second deadline, January 15. Among these were the athletic pages for the football season, faculty pages, and BELVI STAFF ' class history pages. The third deadline, February 10, rolled around in a hurry, especially since semester exams came along, too, but the staff managed to make it. Pic- tures had to be taken of the officers and the committees of the various organiza- tions, and the copy for these organiza- tions had to be written. For the fourth and final deadline, March 8, everything that had not been sent up to that time had to be' done. That included the rest of the athletics, honors, dedication, foreword, and the title page. Although the book was finished, the staff was not through. All the spring activities were yet to be done.

The first is to promote among the students an interest in nursing, The second purpose is to help nurses by co-ope rating with them, Any girl who has an interest in a nurs- ing career may belong to the club, The club meets once a month dur- ing the activity period.

Shiplett, the BHS band has worked earnestly this past year for its performances in parades, in concerts, and at games. It was made up of seventy-two members and five twirlers. Each member had a shocking ex- perience at the beginning of the year when he found out about eight o'c1ock marching practice in the cold, bitter mornings. Everyone was glad when they were over. I TRUM TAL Before football season came to an end, work began on the selections for the winter concert. Again it meant a lot of work outside first period. Many members were begin- ning to think maybe that band wasn't worth the time. For basketball games there was a new system: the band was divided into two groups, which alternated playing at the games. Getting in free at every other basketba 1 game certainly had its advantages--maybe band wasn't so bad after all. Outside preparation popped up again when contest time drew near. The district music contest this past year was held in Sycamore on March 24. Soloists and members of en- sembles were practicing all the time they possibly could in hopes that they would be able to participate in the state music contest, which was held at Bradley College in Peoria on May 4 and 5. It meant a couple of days out of school. No wonder they worked so hard! THE U0 CERT BA ll 'fi Page 88 MU IC The main social event of the band was its spring banquet and dance. At this time awards were presented and new officers were named. The annual picnic at the close of the school year as al- ways was loads of fun for the band members. The annual spring concert brought to an end the practicing of heavy music. lt was a relief to relax and be able to play lighter music. Then the end actually came when the band minus its senior members played selections at commencement. Another year of music was over as far as school activities were concerned. However, just as there were parades to lead during the school year, there were still several to look forward to in the summer.

The Koraleers was organized when a few members of Koral Klub came to prac- tice twice a week at eight in the morning, Those thirty-six singers made their first formal appearance at the Christ- mas concert at which the toyland theme was carried out. The girls wearing red sweaters, red muffs, and black skirts, were escorted onto the stage by the male members of the group who wore red vests over white dress shirts and black trousers. The Koraleers resumed practice after the concert in preparation for two tours of one day each. One tour was taken in April and one in May. On these tours the group provided vocal selec- tions for high school assemblies in neighboring towns. However, the Koraleers was enlarged for the tours by the addition of new members from the Koral Klub and the Treble Clef Choir, Between the two days of the tour, the Koraleers actively took part in the Spring Concert which was held on April 27. After-the Spring Concert, the Annual music department bancltpet was held. The awards which the mem ers had been earn- ing during the year were presented at this time, The officers for band and the vocal groups for the coming year were also announced.

These points are earned by taking part in public appear- ances, regular attendance at church choir, and by going to concerts which must be approved y Mrs, Reeves. The first year award is a certificate stating that the member has earned the specific number of points required. A pin is the second year award. The third year award is the vocal emblem which is in the shape of a lyre. A trophy, the fourth year award, is the final achievement which a member may receive. Along with the other vocal groups, the Treble Choir sang at the Christmas Con- cert which was held on December l7 this year, The girls were attired in multi- colored jumpers and white long sleeved blouses. After the concert all of the music groups combined to enjoy a party, Social chairmen of the three vocal groups planned the party. Dance music was pro- vided by records. Refreshments, which were donated by the members, were served later in the evenin . On April 27, the Trebge Clef took an active part in the spring concert, Mary Jean Armour, Dana Van Epps, and Linda Moffatt have been the accom- panists this year, A complete panoramic view ofthe Treble Clef members at a practice session. vm.,- Y ---mfzawawf ig f- I-ur, .. f- Bass and tenor members of Koral Klub.

It now had a membership of one hundred students, which made up Bl-lS's largest chorus, This year Koral Klub had charg of the Christmas Concert. Many hours of labor and painstaking work were put into this concert to make it a success. The first half of the concert was semi- religous and the second half car- ried through a toyland theme, All through the concert, a large flame red flocked Christmas tree twinkled with small lights. Two C large beglittered toy soldiers stood guard over the whole stage. Even the piano received a face lifting job with the help of some red paint and silver glitter. Led by Mrs. Reeves the Koral Klub also played an important role in the annual spring concert, GIRL ' UHURU An important part of the music department is the Girls' Chorus. This group was composed of seventy-five freshman girls who wanted to learn the fundamentals of vocal music. The group participated in all of the concerts that were presented throughout the year. The first of these was the Christmas concert, Following this the chorus took part in the annual spring concert, which was held in April, Among their many selections the girls sang religious, humor- ous, and classical numbers, A few of their songs were dramatized with motions which corresponded to the words. In the Girls' Chorus there is the first opportunity for the earn- ing of points. If enough points are earned, the members receive their first ear award at the spring banquet. The extra points are carried over into the member's next year's musical group. The group was under the direction of Mrs. Reeves, and they were accompanied on the piano by Lorna Brooks, 4 Hi. ..

' 0 16 13 The Varsity Bucs of '55 opened what was to be their most successful season since '47 by defeating a big Harlem team 12-6. The next Friday the Bucs invaded East Rockford. This was the first grid- iron meeting in history for the two schools. The Bucs played a tremendous game but to no avail as the E-Rabs took a 14-7 victory. The Bucs returned to Legion Mem- orial Field the following Friday where they met a stubborn Lockport eleven and, after coming from a 7-0 deficit at half time, rolled up their second win of the season, 13-7. The past two years had been un- successful ones for the Bucs at Home- coming, but this year was destined to be a victorious one as the Bucs edged a good Cadet bunch from Marmion 12-6. The following Friday saw the Bucs travel to Sterling to engage with the always potent Sterling Warriors. The Bucs were definitely not up for this game, and the Warriors romped to a 30-0 win. Edgewood was the conqueror of the Bucs at Madison, October 22, as the result of a controversial play early in the game which provided the winning margin. The final score was 20-14 in favor of Edgewood, but nevertheless the Bucs played one of their best games there. North Chicago proved to be the fourth successive victim on the home field of the Bucs as they were literally drowned 34-0, in a downpour. This was the fourth straight triumph at home and the first season since '47 in which the Bucs were able to go un- defeated on Legion Memorial Field. The climax of a brilliant season came when the Bucs plunged from be- hind to down an undefeated DeKalb Barb eleven 16-13. After trailing at half-time 13-0, the inspired Bucs came up with two quick T. D. 's to tie the game at 13-13. Then with 5 minutes remaining in the game, tackle Marvin Schuster booted a 13 yard field goal to put the Bucs in front to stay.

The fourth game took the Bucs to West Rockford, where they absorbed a 20 point licking from the state champs. Trips to Aurora on two consecutive nights brought a victory over the Mar- mion Cadets, 63-55 and a seven point loss to East Aurora. Before beginning the Christmas holidays in the Harlem Tournament the Bucs edged Kirkland 47-41. After de- feating South Beloit 78-74, in the first ame, the Bucs knocked off Harlem 54-47 to bring home the championship trophy of the Harlem Ho li day Tourney. In the DeKalb Holiday Tournament the Bucs advanced to the semi-finals with three point victories over Shab- bona, 75-72, and Rock Falls, 63-60, before falling to eventual champions Sycamore, 70-55. The Bucs were greatly hindered in this game by the oss of Jerry Rowe, due to a leg injury. Rowe was one of the leading scorers in the tournament and was named to the All-Tournament team. Following the holidays the Bucs ventured to East Rockford, where after leading most of the way, they lost to the E-Rabs 67-64. Two more wins were added to the list in Genoa, 49-44, and Rochelle, 69-58, but were counteracted by losses to Sterling and Harlem, the latter avenging an earlier season loss. St. Thomas was handed a Z3 point licking 74-51 on the Bucs' home court, but West Aurora took the measure of the Bucs by a 55-46 count at Aurora. On successive nights Dunbar, an all colored team from Chicago and East Rockford dumped the Bucs, Dun- bar by 27 points and East by l in a thriller. The following week-end was a com- plete reversal as Marion and Free- port fell victims to two thrillin last minute rallies, 63-61 and 75-75. The six senior Bucs saw their last action on the home court as they swamped Marengo 65-32. The final game of the season saw Rochelle avenge an ll point defeat, January 14, by dealing the Bucs a 72-51 loss. The Bucs finished their regular season with a 15 won 10 lost record which was the best in the past two years and tied the '52-'53 record.

IIIIMEUIIMI G ' Probably the most celebrated occa- sion in the school year is Homecoming. Sponsored by the Pep Club, the activities continue for three days. This year Home- coming was held October 6, 7, and 8. The first event on Thrusday night was the parade down State Street to the foot- ball field. At the head of the parade marched the band, followed by the king and queen candidates and the football team. Cheering the teams on were the cheerleaders and the student body. At the bonfire cheers and pep talks were given. When the dummy, representing the Marmion team, began to flame, the band struck up the school Loyalty and everyone chimed in. After the bonfire each class campaigned for its own candi- dates. Friday night was the night for the big game. The Bucs with their spirits high ed their schoolto the Homecoming victory over Marmion. At the main gate to the field, the voting for the king and queen took place. Only one vote was allowed for each ticket that was bought. Votes were also given to the band members, team mem- They come even from Hawaii to help the Seniors. Juniors make plans to win votes. Hard working sophomores make posters.

At the half of the varsity game, the queens rode around the field in open convertibles, Before the Homecoming dance on Satur- day night, an alumni banquet was given in honor of the classes of 1915, '24 and '25, This was a new project added by the Pep Club this year, Approximately one-hundred alumni attended the banquet and the dance. The theme of the dance, Kickoff Kapers, was carried out in the decorations of black sil- houettes, The outstanding feature was the goalpost which was formed with footballs, On each football was the name of a player or manager, The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the king and queen, Bob Berry, the Pep Club president, served as emcee for the Coronation ceremony. Using the opportunity to review the activities of the week-end, he kept everyone in tense suspense before announcing the winners, The 1955 king and queen were crowned by the retiring king and queen, Marv Schuster and Sallie Strate.

Serv- ing the one-third daily nutritional requirements at the price of thirty- five cents for students and fifty cents for adults, the cafeterias operate on a non-profit basis.
