'Tis not for children of the earth Like us, to then deny The Father, all that golden mirth That lic her tender eyes. 'Tis not for us to keep from Him That all embracing smile That He has taken, not to dim, Butyjust to watch awhile. 'Tis not for us to keep her voice For mortals to admire, When such sweet voice was Heaven's choice' To join the angelic choir. January IZ, l9ll8 The inward sweetness found in her Encompassed all she met, And though the flood of tears may blur, The face we'll ne'er forget. O hear us, sweet companion, hear- Tihough life seemed but an hour, Each jeweled minute you were near Shall not die as the flower, But live with us in memories fond, While to dear God we pray That we may see that sweet beyond Where now you walk each day. And help us, then, to understand Somehow, why this must be, That Time must take from loving hands One young and sweet as she. J.M.L. Belvi To The Memor WILLIAM LEE JACKSON November 2, l933 March Il, l9ll8 It was with a feeling of shock and grief that we learned of William s ttag1C death on the evening of March 11. William made a fine record as a freshman, and during his brief attendance at Belvidere High School his cheery disposition and pleasing ways earned him many friends who deeply mourn his loss. When death comes, all ordinary words fail us Alas for The stars Who hath The truth That Life And Love. him who never sees shine through cypress trees! not learned, in hours of faith to flesh and sense unknown, is ever lord of Death, can never lose its own.

Boys and girls pop in and out constantly all day. Here we find Mr. Brett, Miss Harris, and Mrs. Burkett always ready to issue tardy or absence slips, to answer questions and to give advice with a cheery smile. Here information is given to the public. Reservations for the Com- munity Building are made by civic and school organizations. Our high school provides opportunities for intellectual and social growth, physical development, and vocational skill. The qualities of true friendships are displayed in every aspect of school life, and for the students, B.H.S. is a memory of days well spent. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MR. DAVE HILL, President MR.

FRESHMEN Rather unusual talent was displayed by the fresh-- man class when they were introduced to B.H.S. in a new style initiation for frosh,,, instigated by the Student Council. Skits were presented by each freshmen homeroom and they were very cleverly done. A Freshman Reception, October 7, given by the Student Council acquainted the freshmen with the various school organizations, clubs, and activ- ities. Besides electing Helen Warner as their queen candidate for Homecoming, they presented a sophis- ticated skit, Fun at Club '51, a take-off on night- clubs which won second place at the Variety Show. They had several booths at the Booster Carnival. All these activities were ably directed by Miss Finnegan and Mrs. Alwilda Sellers, the two freshmen advisors. Go to it, Class of Sl! Youlre doing fine! SOPHOMORES ln September of '47 we willed' our green spots to the class of '51 and assumed the roll of sopho- more sophisticatesf' Barbara Dutton was chosen candidate for queen at Homecoming. A murder mystery, Who Done It, written by Ruth Ainsworth, was the skit pre- sented at the Variety Show. The outstanding social event of the year was the novel Bunny Hop, an Easter dance given late in March. The sophomore class was under the supervision of Miss Rodd and Miss Schoch. As the school year of '48 closes we leave behind sophistication and when school starts in the fall we will take on dignity, JUNIORS We now present the busy Juniors, and busy they were for their activities have been many. After choosing Marilyn Smith as their Homecoming Queen candidate, they sponsored a Sadie Hawkins dance, and presented Guilty or Not for the Variety Show. Class rings and sweaters of brown and yellow were selected. Throughout the year, school supplies and candy bars were sold. In all school activities, the Junior Class was well represented. The final project was the farewell Prom for the Seniors-a happy mile- stone at the close of high school days. Miss Blackburn and Miss Jenks deserve much credit for the aid and advice given, and the class can well be proud of the committees which have worked so well. 7 : 4 in W r a as e , Q Q 7 K E E ,W Q ,ni , a , a ,r s A , ' ii 5 i ll Q Q x i fi, - 'l Q illilgliii Q 9' ,, -Q.- g r' . s ,,.::' .. 1? jna , a g r -+'I ,-: 1 A 25.

BELVI XVe took up residence or so it seemed in room 204 at the beginning of the year. Immediately we choose for our theme the Gay Nintiesf' Benita and Pat spent hours drawing and redrawing dummy pages, cutting pictures and wondering if they would fit. Paul, the financier, spent his spare time trying to balance the books. Pete had a considerable amount of trouble getting the seniors to kick in their lists of activities. Finally all said lists were compiled. Marion worked like a fiend to get all the information about the faculty, but finally suc- ceeded in getting all the necessary items. We kept Mae and Trippy busy mounting and STAFF identifying pictures. Delores kept our scrap book and helped with the write-ups. Lea did the art work, and a mighty fine job was done. Darlene, Virginia, and Geraldine did the typing. Mr. McClary photographed all the large groups and Jim Windeck did the rest of the work for us. In spite of all our troubles and worries, the en- graving was completed, the last pages of copy were sent to press, and the bills were paid. Appreciation and thanks go to our advisers, Miss Entwhistle and Miss Schoch, and the entire staff.who have worked unselfishly for the good of the cause. We hope you enjoy the book as much as we en- joyed bringing it to you.-THE STAFF.

The boys acquired a fundamental knowledge of the game laws. Each boy learned how to conserve all kinds of wild-life. Movies and speeches on wild-life and conservation were given at the bi-monthly meetings held on the first and second VVednesdays of each month. OFFICERS CHARLES VVHEELER .......... ...........

Here students congregate to do special assignments and to read books U1 llldgiililltb- The Library Club trains students to be efficient assistant librarians. At bi-monthly meetings suggestions for the improvement of conditions in the library are dis- Cussed. Librarians earn points by doing desk Work, shelving books, straightening and cleaning shelves, and arranging attractive displays for the bulletin board. Each student who has earned 300 points is awarded the club pin on Honors Day. November 20th the librarians sponsored a tea for the faculty. New books to be used in the various depart- ments were on display. This year the Moose Club donated S700 to improve the library lighting and equipment.

Notwithstanding these few procras- tinators, we receive our copy of the Bel-Hi News every two weeks and all of us look forward to the time when they are distributed by each homeroom representative. The powers behind the press must not be overlooked when we commend the success of this publication. Mr. and Mrs. Diggins are the able advisors to our efficient staff. Jeanne Law and Phyllis Johnson, the co-editors, both attended schools this summer for courses in journalism. This opportunity was given to them through the Bel-Hi News Editorial Scholarship. Last November, the paper sponsored the Variety Show. This annual affair was said to be the finest one in years. Several new organizations, including the Pep Club and the two public speaking classes, con- tributed three clever skitsg but the prize winning honors were carried off by the Senior Class, the fourth hour speech class, and a trio of senior boys. At Christmas time there was the annual Christmas party in the old gym for the staff members. It was proclaimed a huge success by all who attended.

PEP CLUB Rah Pep Rah Club -Rah, Rah, Pep Clublu Although this organization is a new addition to the list of the active clubs in B.H.S. it has made an ex- cellent showing for itself in its first year. The purpose of the club is to back the Bucs in a different and outstanding manner, and to generally encourage more enthusiasm at the games. The members have practiced the different cheers and for several of the cheers they use motions to correspond to those of the cheerleaders. To make the group seem more uniform, each member has an at- tractive beanie of purple and gold, and a brown megaphone, and all wear white blouses. Miss Werth was the instigator of the club and serves as the club's advisor. We sincerely hope that this organization will continue in the future years.

BAND Our band this year has done some very remark- able work, thanks to the capable director, Mr. Holm. Composed of 60 members, the band made a very favorable impression with performances at the var- sity games. Before each game they led a march to the field. Between halves various figures and letters were formed and traditional school songs played. Similar activities were extended into the basketball season. In addition to leading the parades on Navy Day, Halloweien, Armistice Day, and Memorial Day, the band presented a skit Objection Overuled at the Variety Show. The two highlights of the '47-,48 season were the lovely Christmas Concert given with the chorus, and the Spring Music Festival presented by the chorus, band and junior band. In the spring several students were entered in the annual District Solo and Ensemble Contest. Many small ensembles and various soloists entertained for several clubs and organizations during the year. Great things are expected of the band in the forth- coming years, so, good luck to you!

CHORUS This year, one of the largest choruses that our school has ever lmtl, 96 members in all, has had many successes. According, to Mr. Holm, the director, definite improvement has been made musically, as well as numerically. The chorus' first public ap- pearance was made December 10, when a lovely pro- gram of Christmas music was presented for the Wo1nen's Club. ln addition, the annual Christmas Concert with the band and a caroling party were given. In the spring, several soloists were entered in the District Music Contest. In April, the chorus with the senior and junior bands presented their annual Music Festival.

It was a beautiful, snowy, night out- doors, and we viewed a sporty red sleigh on our Way inside. Beautiful, catchy, soft blue and white scenes Were set off by a Winter village scene in one corner. Novel dances added to the enjoyment of the guests. Other activities included basketball, spring hikes, a Mother-Daughter banquet, and ll spring formal dance. The main purpose of the organization is best ex- pressed in the G,A.A. pledge: I promise to uphold the ideals of the Girls' Athletic Association, by pro- moting interest in the out of doors, by living so that I may be healthy and strong, and by making good sportsmanship a constant factor in my con- duct.

CLUB Looking over the program of the F.F.A. this year, we found it to be very successful. In May of 1947, the softball team with Bob Barnum, captain, received second place at the sectional tournament held at Waterman. Wesley Latt attended the State F.F.A. Convention at Champaign in June. In August the Sectional Fair was held at Sandwich, and although the competition was keen, the Belvidere boys were awarded S167 in prizes. In addition to winning grand champion rating over all 'breeds with his pen of Durocs at Sandwich, James Kirane also placed an entry at the State Fair. Under the supervision of Mr. Swanson, the boys began a, new school year in September. Wayne Rhode, president, and the other officers attended the sectional Leadership Day at Rochelle in October. The boys took an active part in the Harvest Festival in the Community Building, and won several plac- ings at the grain show at Malta. One of the mem- bers of the chapter, Richard Jacobson, had an entry in the International Show in December, and was ac- companied by the Ag. classes to the show. As a climax to their activities for the year, the annual banquet for their parents was given by the boys. Wesley Latt-Shropshire sheep and lambs. ji m K i rane--Duroc hogs.

An im- portant function of the group is to create better un- derstanding between the students and the faculty, and to promote cooperation in the entire school. Each council member has a serious responsibility to his home room and to his school. Early in the year, a reception was held for the Freshmen to acquaint them with the various student STUDENT COUNCIL it i activities of B.H.S., and later the Freshmen were presented to the upper classmen in an assembly pro- gram of original skits. During the year, interesting speakers and performers presented educational assem- bly programs, while dances and parties provided recreation. The annual Booster Carnival and the sale of pens and pencils helped finance these projects. The Council was ably advised this year by Miss McCord and Mrs. Sellers.

BOOSTER CARNIVAL The Booster Carnival sponsored by the Student Council, is one of the most important highlights of every year. Held in the spring last year, the carni- val was highly colorful. Each class elects a candi- date for queen. The class making the most money at the carnival has the candidate for queen from that class crowned. Each class had several booths, which they decorated with streamers and crepe paper. There were plenty of things to buy and do for old and young. Games, flowers, candy, dancing, refreshments, darts, and 'bingo were some of the concessions. ' About ten o'clock the final results of the car- nival were compiled and the juniors crowned Marian Newport queen and Charles Holsker king. We are sure everyone had fun. Thanks to the Student Council for bringing us such a wonderful program of fun. 1 4 , I 4 EG ,. ,k:, .,,L x v . - , W, 5, f..' , ,5wg5--SQgg,Wg- ,-v: fs mf f' 3 4' ii f qf'4 ?' . 3 Yifwwfmf 'Q 'gf fa 8o6ZffS14u-2.172 fpC9rZyzu, CZMLZZ ng' .Smad-5 Ig l volgigyf-71?

This team was rated .fourth in the state by the United Press list of undefeated-untied teams. The credit for this outstanding season goes not only to the team 'but also to Chuck,' Nihan, our head Coach, who was chosen Coach of the Weekn by State Sportswriters. He was ably assisted by Dean Carter, the line coach, who developed an exception- ally alert and aggressive line. Our captains were Chuck Holsker, who won honorable mention on the All State Team, and Ken Bender, who excelled in running, kicking, passing, and signal calling. Ive Johannes, chosen the most valuable player by his team mates, received a place on the third All State Team. This undefeated season was due to teamwork rather than to the work of individual stars. Butch Buhl, Tom Marshall, Clair Barnum, George Kelley, and Milt Brown were the boys who rotated at the end positions and made extensive gains because of their pass receiving abilities. At tackle we had Little Buc B.H.S. can well be proud of the record of the local Frosh-Sophs this year. The Little Bucs won four and lost four games during the season for a .500 average. Having lost Dave Olson, Charles Buhl, and Norm Johannes to the Varsity, the Bucs lost much weight. However, the use of inexperienced Freshmen and the lack of weight did not prevent the team from having a commendable season. Coach Lewis, using standouts from last year's line and backfield, lost the season's opener to DeKalb, 7-0. Still unable to get on its feet, the team was held to a 6-6 tie by a strong Dundee Eleven. In their third encounter, the Chuck Holsker, Bert Wrate, Dave Olson, and Wes- ley Latt, who were often seen 'breaking up plays in the opponents' backfield. Our guards, Bill Johnson and Paul Zvonar opened large holes in the opposing line. Bill Wolf did an excellent job at center, not making an inaccurate or fumbled pass during the entire season. Tom Keating, our hard and powerful running back, virtually overran the opposing linemen. Ken Bender, our field general, did a fine job of punting and extra point kicking. Joe Welch, in addition to his fine passing, made a specialty of running inter- cepted passes for touchdowns. The fast running, long passing, and exceptional pass receiving of Ive Johannes justified his Most Valuable Player Award. Dick Gritzmacher was one of the best running backs and tackles, although he was one of the small- est men in the starting lineup. Jack Ross, back, and Ronnie McKeown, guard, also played good ball. Bob Falkenstein, Bob Kolar, and Norm Johannes were lost to the team because of injuries. Football Bucs defeated Harlem's Frosn-Sophs by a score of 37-6. Rochelle was also stopped by a score of 13-7 in favor of the local boys. After thus losing two and winning two, the Bucs were unable to over- come the Zion-Benton gridders who won 20-7. Marmion Military Academy, with a strong eleven, also defeated the Bucs 27-13. In the last two games, the Bucs, determined to win, defeated St. Thomas 26-0 and South Beloit's Junior Varsity 36-6. At the end of the season, Gene Hoffman and Jim Whalen were elected co-captains by their team mates. Hoffman also received the Most Valuable Player award.

The Bucs scored a total of 1154 points to 1112 yielded to the opposition. The cage boys played one of the most difficult seasons in years and sev- eral defeats were losses by a score of one or two points. In the Regional Tournament held at East Rock- ford, Belvidere defeated South Beloit by a score of 70 to 33. East High defeated us by a score of 72 to 53. A Holiday Tournament was played at Centralia. The Bucs lost to Marion 51 to 49 and to Joliet S7- 56 and won from Granite City S3-45. The seniors who played their last game for B.H. S. were Ken Bender, George Kelly, Ive Johannes, Dick Gritzmacher, Dick Helligas, Bill Wolf, Tom boys have given us many thrills and wins which will be remembered for many years. Ive Johannes, center, was high scorer for the season with 369 points. Next came Dick Gritzmacher who was elected most valuable player, made 260 points. Ken Bender was elected captain for the sea- son. Bob Kolar won the free throw trophy with a 78W average of free shots. George Kelly and Joe Welch brought the crowds to their feet often with their accurate long shots. High and aggressive re- bounds were made by Bill Wolf and Tom Marshall, Bob McCoy, Dick Helligas, and Clair Grubb also made good records. The nucleus for next year's team will consist of Milt Brown, Clair Grubb, Bill Gorman, Bob Kolar, Tom Keating, Bob Falkenstein, and Joe Welch. Marshall, Bob McCoy, and Clair Barnum.

Liktle Bucs Basketball During the '47-'48 Frosh-Soph cage season the Little Bucs coached by Joe Lewis won 12 and lost 12 games for a .500 percentage. Anxious to get off on the right foot the Little Bucs won the season's opener against Dundee on November 29 at Dundee. The tables were turned however, on Friday night, December 5, when a strong Elgin five defeated the Little Bucs. At the end of the '47 cage year the Frosh-Sophs had won 4 and lost 3 which was a commendable record. The Little Bucs lost the first game of the new year to East Rockford Sophs for the fourth loss of tle Bucs, fighting hard all the way, won the last three games of the season from Sycamore, St. Thomas, and Crystal Lake. During the past season there were many stand- outs. At center Jack Ross, Ken Hindman, and Roger Ainsworth showed versatile work. At the forward positions Bob Turner and Ed Haase handled their positions well. Clyde Burroughs, Charlie Buhl, Jim Whalen, and Eddy Suhr were at the guard position for the Little Bucs.

The purpose of the club was to give experience and practice to thc juniors on the squad that did not play in the regular varsity line-up. Games were scheduled with Elgin, East Rockford, Rundee, West Rockford, DeKalb, Marengo, and 'Sou th Beloit. This club was under the coaching of Dean Carter who arranged the playing schedule. CWQD Intramural Soft Ball A popular spring sport is intramural soft ball. This sport is played on the graduated level accord- ing to age, size, and ability. This means that the freshmen are allowed a certain number of runs by the sophomores, the juniors, and the seniors accord- ing to the graduated level. The seniors have won the past two seasons. There is a great deal of competition among the classes. The name of the winner is engraved on the standing trophy each year. Last year the seniors were first, the sophomores second, the freshmen third, and the juniors fourth. 4 Cbeerfeazdm A Squad Benita Harnish, Claudette Sullivan, LaVonna Murphy, Jeanne Law, Ken- ny Strate. CHEERLEADERS ' This year three cheerleaders from each class were chosen by popular vote. They picked two peppy squads. Much credit is due Miss Werth, who devoted much of her valuable time in turning out our co- ordinated squads. The B squad came forth with two new im- provements this yearg new uniformsiwith purple jumpers and gold blouses for the Freshmen and acro- batic stunts to add zest to the cheering. Rosemary Zvonar was a very popular and spir- ited cheerleader and an outstanding example of the best in sportsmanship. Her death was a greatkloss to the A squad. Her personality, ability, and co- operation made her loved by everyone. May her fine character serve as a guide to others who follow in her footsteps. The cheerleaders deserve a great deal of credit for helping the team attain the fine record that their scores indicate. Congratulations for a job well done.

The en- suing troubles may be summed up as a search for water, a quarrel with the blustering neighbor, the attempted elopement of daughter dear, and the usual invasion of thc week-end guests, including a prodigal uncle who turns out to be bankrupt.

On September 3, 1944, 139 students approached the steps of B.H.S. ready to start a new phase of their education. One look at the dazed expressions termed us Freshmen. However, we soon gained the reputation of being a resourceful and original class. For the Booster Carnival we sold scrap iron and had several booths and sponsored a chicken supper. We were well rewarded as we won first place in the Booster Carnival. Shirley Luckow was crowned Queen of the carnival. The Doors Swing In was presented at the Variety Show as our skit. We chose as officers Bob Gibson, President, Ken Bender, Vice-President, Ed Ross, Secretary, and Rich- ard Helligas, Treasurer. Miss Werth and Mrs. Sellers started us on our high school career. Our initial year was marred by the tragic death Senior Oyjitm ii Of '48 Clair Barnum, Vice-President Ron Hood, President Delores Abraham, Treasurer Dick Hoffman, Secretary Waazw, of our classmate Ed Huck. Ed showed great qual- ities of leadership and promise of being an outstand- ing athlete. In tribute to him the Ed Huck Athletic Memorial award was founded. Coming back the following fall as sophisticated sophomores we selected Ken Bender, President, Bob Gibson, Vice-Presidentg Shirley Luckow, Secretary, and Mary Louise Peterson, Treasurer. Miss Rodd and Miss Entwhistle were our advisors. Jeanne Law represented us as a member of the Homecoming Queen's court. Benita Harnish and Paul Zvonar were candidates for queen and king of the Booster Carnival. The Variety Show skit portrayed the famous types of lovers in history, winning second place. We sponsored a spring dance using The Lost Week-end as a theme. Showing originality as juniors we were in the spotlight for our clever Stocking Stomp. Early in the fall we were thrilled by the arrival of our class rings. A few weeks later our attractive red and steel gray sweaters with English letters made their -appearance and won the approval of the mem- bers of B.H.S. Jeanne Meyers and Mary Louise Peterson were Homecoming queen candidates. Chuck Holsker and Marion Newport were crowned king and queen of the Booster Carnival. The Discontented Hour was our Variety Show skit for the year. The Junior Art Associationf' something new as a prom theme, displayed the ingenuity of our class. The prom originally predicted by the seniors to be nothing more than a Hard Times Dance was later proclaimed a great success. The Mantle, the highest honor that can be be- stowed upon a junior, was presented to Ron Hood.

Miss Beverly and Miss Blackburn were our able advisors. Ron Hood was at the helm during our final year in B.H.S. The other officers were Clair Barnum, Vice-Presidentg Dick Hoffman, Secretary, and Delores Abraham, Treasurer. Miss Harris, Miss Smith and Mr. Brett were our advisors. Further honor to our class was the election of our candidate, Lois Campbell, as Homecoming queen. Our Variety Show skit, Scenes From The Masters, captured' top rating. We selected as our class colors steel gray and red, as our class flower the red rose, and as our motto He conquers who conquers himself. After four years our scrap books overflowed with high school memories-dances, games, classes, and friends. But as we take our place in society, we sincerely hope that we reflect the principles of fine citizenship B.H.S. stands for.

Tomorrow may find this lonely book Forgotten in some dusty nookg Yet often, Time, with laden pace Shall stir this memoir's resting place. Between each leaf-like page is pressed A tender memory, each one blest With human smiles that touch the heart And linger with us ere we part.. We, who in this tintypc pose, Wear smiles for fear we might disclose A trace or two of farewell tears Before the caravan of years Must sweep us from our high school days. And though our varied, severed ways May never ,chance to cross again This book will say, Remember when- JMLAW ' ii lie 3' S .1 il l ig. I I 5 E . 2 fs E , J 5 5 ' I 2?
