Now we are starting out into the world taking our treasure chest with us. In September, 1946, 136 green freshmen entered B.H.S. and started on a long voyage in search of the treasure. We were commanded by Carol Nelson, Kenny Hindman, Lorraine Zimmer, and Donna Luckow. Joan Newport and Barbara Gritzmacher were our homecom- ing queen candidates and Barbara was elected queen, Mrs. Sellers and Mrs. Marling were our advisors. Joan Klaas, Gene Hoffman, Lorraine Zim- mer, and Carol Nelson took the lead in our sec- ond year of high school. Our variety show skit, Who Done It failed to gather the treas- ure we expected, but we surged ahead regard- less. We nominated Barbara Dutton for our homecoming queen candidate and sponsored a Bunny Hop late in March. Our advisors, Miss Rodd and Miss Schoch, did much in keeping us from missing a few opportunities on our long, hard attempt to seize success. Suddenly we found ourselves juniors and dis- covered what problems class sweaters and the prom could cause, however, Ruth Ainsworth, Betty Huck, Gene Hoffman, and Kenny Hind- man tackled these problems and handled them smoothly and successfully. Miss Blackburn and Miss Owens ably assisted us in planning our prom, A Southern Plantation. Kenny Hind- man, Jim Whalen, Betty Huck, Joan Klaas, Sanda Schulte, Betty Barnum, Ray Fish, and Carol Nelson worked on the prom committees and made it a huge success. Bob Turner, Dennis Nuckles, Bonnie Wait, and Carol Nelson helped us choose forest green sweaters with white numerals and letters. With Joan Newport, Dave Olson, Forrest Crone, Joanne Roberts, and Marilyn Braun leading the way, we chose oval rings of gold with onyx, sapphire, or ruby settings. We nominated Betty Barnum and Gene Hoffman as our Foot- ball Queen and King candidates, and Sanda Schulte and Butch Buhl were our nomina- tions for Booster Carnival King and Queen. The highest honor a junior can receive, The Mantle, was presented .to Carol Nelson by last year's recipient, LaVonna Murphy. Our fourth and last year at B.H.S. was one no one could ever forget. With the assistance of Norm Johannes, Bob Turner, Jim Whalen, and Kenny Hindman, we captured the prize and claimed success as ours. We chose the water lily as our class flower and Always rowing never drifting as our motto. Marion Coleman assumed the throne to reign as Football Queen at the dance held as a close to Pep Week. She was escorted by Norm Johannes and crowned by Jim Whalen, the Pep Club President.'Miss Harris, Miss Smith, and Mr. McAllister are to be credited for making our last year at B.H.S. a very successful one. Now, with our treasure chest of leadership and learning, the class of 1950 of Belvidere High School moves out to make room for the pirate apprentices of 1954. Zguctaneers' Qlaptains 5 z 3 i 2 CAROL NELSON VALEDICTORIAN Carol Nelson, who has been a very active member of the buccaneers of nineteen hundred fifty, earned the honor of graduating with the highest scholastic average in our class. During her senior year she has served as news editor of the Bel-Hi, secretary-treasurer of the G.A.A. and a member of the varsity debating acting in the senior play, Mciirewf' She has been a member of the A Cappella Choir, the Student Council, and the Pep Club. Our congratula- tions to Carol for her successful achievements. team, as well as Dangerous Nan THF MANTLE The mantle, the highest honor that a junior can receive, was presented by LaVonna Murphy to Carol Nelson last May at the Class Day ex- ercises. The mantle is awarded each year to a member of the junior class on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and good character. Carol is indeed a worthy recipient of this high award. D.A.R. AXVARD Carol Nelson was selected as the recipient of this year's D.A.R. award on the basis of her attainments and personality. ln addition to the scholastic honors that she has earned, she has shown herself to be an active, worthy citizen. XVYNN DAVIES SALUTATORIAN W'ynn Davies, having attained the second highest scholastic ranking, received the honor of being class Salutatorian. He has been a co- cditor of the Belvi, vice president of the Stu- dent Council, and vice president of the B-Club this yearg and he played an important part in the class play, Dangerous Nan McGrew. Wfynn has also been a member of the A Cap- pella Choir, the Pep Club, and the track team.

Officers of our crew are Bob Sewell, Captain, Ed Fidder, First Mate, XVilton Esmond, Mate in charge of charts and the logg and Charles Simpson, Guard of the treasure hold. As a means of identification our good ship flies a jolly Roger of royal blue and white, and the crew wears unique rings of our own choosing. Joanmarie Tomberg was our choice for Football Queen candidate. A great battle between members of the Classes of '50 and '51 was waged over capturing the Christmas decorating prize and ended in a tie. Both crews shared in the booty. A prom was given in honor of the officers and crew members in the Class of '50 as one of our main projects for the year.

It is generally believed that ath- letics contribute to the health, social life, and the spirit of the school. A survey of this year reveals the fact that our athletic program measures up to this three-fold standard or ex- ceeds it. Just as the buccaneers of old had a great many ditliculties capturing the Spanish treas- ure ships, the same was true about our Bucs. Each game had a few difhculties attached to it. They didn't win all the games, but they always had that fighting spirit. Coach Nihan did an excellent job shaping them into the strong team which they turned out to be. Our boys had some pretty stiff competition. and came through with three victories, one tie, and four losses. Butch Buhl and Norm Johannes were co- captains this season. At the close of the season, Jack Ross was elected the most valuable player. SCHEDULE Sept -B.H.S. ,,,,, 6 Dundee ,t,, ,,., . H 14 Sept -B.H.S. St. Thomas , , ,t,,,, 12 Sept B.H.S.

The Illinois State Law requires that all students in grades one, five and nine must have a physical examination. In addition to these examinees, our G.A.A. members and the ath- letes of B.H.S. are required by their own club charters to have a complete medical check-up before participating in any athletic activities. Six hundred and sixty-five students were exam- ined by local doctors in the temporary clinic, the Community Building. To keep the process running smoothly, voluntary assistants from our high school student body gave up their study time and donated their services to the project. As a result the system worked with clock- like precision. We owe a vote Of thanks to this group of students for the able assistance that they so willingly gave. atrul Zgnps Roftc 1- RoN NIECKLEY2 Siuxwim' Seorr VVILHUR NUTT DoN lKv1ENGE IDICK Snokriiss R1t'H.xi:n l'i.Xlll CI,1!

This patrol is made up of boys who ritle the busses and look after the safety of school children. Each bus has at least two patrol boys--one at the front and another .it the buck. The front patrol boy helps children on and off the bus and sees that they cross the highway safe- ly. The duty of rear patrol boy is to preserve order on :he bus. He also assists the bus driver in checking attendnnte and reports any dim- .ige to the bus to the driver. At an election this fall Toni Greenlee .intl Stanley Scott were chosen captains .intl llarold Shearer and Paul Kirane were chosen lieuten- ants. Our bus patrol has 11 very difficult task.

STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Bun Esmorvn TACK Rvnim Srxxnx Scnumra VVYNN Dxvuis, I'irr-Pfwfitlrrzf KEN Ilixmux, 1'rrsii1'fnf llarly in their two semester cruise the stu- flents elect one representative from each home room to represent them in their school affairs. This group is our Student Council. lt sponsors many different activities during the year. Among these are assembly programs, parties for special occasions, and an installa- tion for .ill officers of the classes and organ- izations. The Council has a program every fall for the freshman class. At this party all of the clubs and activities are explained. ln the spring the Booster Carnival is an annual Coun- cil event. The council raised money to finance their activities this year through the sale of T-shirts, hcadscarves, reflectors, and pencils. The student body elected Kenneth Hindman president of the Council and the Council in turn elected Wfynn Davies, Sanda Schulte, and Clarence Swanson as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. The Council was tremendously aided by Miss McCord and Mrs. Sellers who were the advisors this year.

No sooner had school started last fall than we began to get ready for the 1950 edition of the Bvlri. After many changes of mind we finally chose for our theme Pirates.', Betty Huck and Wyfnn Davies, the co-editors, work- ed hard getting contracts, cutting pictures to size, and getting the Udummyn in order. jim XVhalen, Bob Turner, and Ray Fish, this yearls business managers, were kept busy collecting payment and trying to keep the books balanced. They did a good job, toog be- cause when the year was over there was just as much money left as the books showed in September-practically nothing. Beverly Dolphin and John Gough spent much time drawing pirates and treasure maps. Witlt- out the fine work of Bev and john this book would certainly have lost one of its best points. joan Klaas, Bonnie Wztit, and Betty Barnum were kept busy making lists of underclassmen and getting the money for their pictures. Marilyn Braun had charge of the seniors. She made appointments for them to have their pic- tures taken and also collected the senior data ta very hard job, by the wayj. Ken Hindman was the sports editor and Donna Luckow took charge of the faculty pictures and data. They did a hne job, too. Beverly XVheeler and Bonnie XVait were the photographic editors for this year's Brlri. Mr. McClary photographed all the large groups and Steve Angell and Mr. Meinheit did the rest of the photography work. They all did very outstanding work the success of the Miss Entwhistle very able advisers the thanks we can and contributed much to yearbook. and Miss Bennett were our this year. They deserve all give them for their help in editing the yearbook. W'e are all pleased with the 1950 Bvlri and hope you get as much enjoyment from it, as we who have worked on it.

The club raised the membership flag to well over three-hundred Fifty, and proved to be a rollicking band. Being the largest and most active club in school, the Pep Club undertook the largest and most ditlicult tasks, holding true its motto of Boost the Bucs. lub The Football Jamboree, a roaring success, was one of these undertakings. This large project in- cluded the snake dance and bonfire, the football game with Marmion, the election and coronation of the Football Queen, and the dance as .1 grand finale. l R 0 Girls' tiletit ssuriatiune G,A.A.

During this voyage of 1949 and 50 the B Club, 'ahieh is made up of some of the best buccaneers on board, xvas very aetive in the alfairs of our ship. Norman Johannes was chosen president of the groupg W'ynn Davies, vice- prcsidentg Ken Hindman, secretairyg Charles Butch Buhl, treasurerg and lid llidder, judge. The club is made up of lettermen from all of the major sports. Earning a letter in a major sport does not mean that an athlete is eligible to become a member of the B Club. He must hrst serve a term of one school year as a pledge. The pledges must work for the betterment of the club and conduct himself as a credit to B.H.S. The pledges also help the members sell refreshments at the football and basketball games. ln the spring the members of the club meet and decide which pledges will make good MBU Club membersg then those pledges who have been chosen as members are invited to attend a picnic where they are orhcially installed as members of the club. During the winter we sponsor a basketball tournament and in the spring a track meet for all grade schools in Boone County. The B Club also is responsible for the annual sports banquet in the spring at which letters and trophies are awarded to the athletes. The objective of our li Club is to encourage partici- pation in athletics both in the high school and the grades. T1 li-C'I,I'l5 OFFICERS :jr In BIIHIIIII4 Noun -loiiwxias Iitrivii Burn.

Our chief money-making activity was the check-room in the Com- munity Building. Enough was made to sponser an educa- tional trip to Chicago.

Zinhustrtal Qrts anh Bntatiunal rngram just as the buccaneers had to be skilled in running their ships, so too the crew of our good ship B.H.S. must know something of the mc- chanics of sailing. The task of teaching these boots the tricks of the trade has fallen to lieutenants Nloss and lllinilx. Under the system from last year,s reorgani- zation of the industrial arts and machine shop departments, beginning classes study nine weelt courses in electricity, drafting, and machine shop technique. Advanced pupils complete projects in classes conducted in a factory pattern. This year was the most outstanding year in the history of the machine shop in the terms of quality and quantity of worlt done. We stud- ents showed great promise as craftsmen in our projects. and then in installing and rebuilding of machines. They installed three new machines. a milling machine, a tool and cutting grinder, and a twenty-inch drill press. Two machines, an en- gine lathe and a cylinder grinder were rebuilt. This work added five more machines to the working shop. W'ith the sophomores completing their pro- jects from last year and the juniors taking on more difhcult experimental projects the year ended with a new high level of craftsmanship in the Nlllfp. lieutenants Moss and lllinik feel confident that the boys who graduate from this program will be able to be placed in jobs no matter what situation arises. clbirls' Qllburus Raft: 1-Dorothy Koplin, Judy johnson, Carol Frye, Ruth Miles, Doris Crorre, Shirley Mac llrrffenden, ,loyee Rewoldt, Darlene Blake, lylarilyn lNICConn, Betty XVilliarns, Margorie lieklurrd, Anita Broolis, Sandra lulin, Susan McCoy, Lois lidmison, Shirley Miller, Ann Braly, Carol Neufer.

Our choir has been busy the spring of this year with many' activities. lntroducing a new phase in the development of choral music in Bel- videre lligh. was the tour which was the first to be attempted by' the vocal groups. This unique experiment was in the form of planned assembly' programs for other high schools within a nfty' mile radius. There were many' purposes to this tour. lt was to develop better social relations be- tween other schools and communities, to give the students the experience of singing in schools out- side their own, and to encourage a finer apprecia- tion for the art of good singing while encour- aging an exchange of programs outside of tith- letics and debates. By' encouraging programs of lboizif Mrvriizi, Q'.yi,vix clUl'R'li -Im flUl,FlMXN QIUXNMXRIIS 'liHN1Ill:RCi this hind. a finer interest and a better under- standing of music were to he created. These pro- grams were presented from an educational as well as entertaining standpoint. On April I, the choir went to l'I.l1'VLll'd for the district contest. Besides singing two racticed . . . K is p . pieces, the choir had to sight read one selection. The A Cappella won first in the State. .X t'gXPPlil,l,.'X l7FFlQ'liRS At'n::iey' Rutsz, Snrrlnry ,Ions Cioiwgii, Inf-l'1'r,riil1 liisrn tatywi-'oiui Ricnyiui Dum jon Tsiyvi-oi:'r, I'rr.riilm1t Sirso.-x Sciiuixiii, 'I'rfn.un-rr l H11 . f . . .

This yearls Bi!-III editor, Ruth Ainsworth, has done a wonderful job seeing that we have the best newspaper possible. Even though the paper has been published only once a month, it has kept the staff and reporters very busy meeting that deadline. The Bel-Hi has been operated differently this year as the school board has donated funds for its publication at the Belvidere Republican. This sup- port has eliminated the need for the Variety Show and the selling of subscriptions to students.

These were done during the three to live periods .1 week that they devoted to their library work. These tasks enabled Miss Smith to give individual aid to us students in the library. To be eligible to wear a club pin, one had to work satisfactorily for one semester. The elub's social event of the year was the facultv book tea given during book week in No- vember.

Our club es- pecially strives toward new horizons on every itenerary it undertakes. 1950 finds the Future Farmers of B.H.S. rounding out .1 full year of achievement. Last March the Parliamentary Procedurel' team took first place at Malta in the section contest. Later, we were nosed out by more experienced compe- tition. In May, the dairy judging team, Les Rhode, Earl Jackson, Denny Nuckles, Kenny Mundy, and John Gesell, took second place in a seventeen team contest at Shabbona. At the same contest, the fat stock judging team, Dave Lampert, Elwyn ljegner, 'liom Greenlee, jim Nelson, and Gordon Carlson, came off with third place honors. AU ratings were given to both teams at the state con- test which was held in Urbana. In October we sponsored a magicianls show to earn money for the chapter. This money was spent for recreational and improvement projects. In February we sponsored our annual banquet. This is an occasion when we get tofzether and give credit to the boys who have done out- standing work, and acquaint parents with the job done by the F.F.A.

Pep NVeelx began with the Snake Dance, largest in the school history. In addition to being the largest and most publicized, the 1949 Pep Wfeek proved to be a feather in the Pep Club's hat as no paint or white wash marred our city and no de- struetion of property was to be found. Although this was contrary to pirate methods, we hope a tradition has been founded.
