i877--I95Z i877--The population of the United States soared to thirty-eight cmd a half million, a blue glass craze swept the nation, and people put blue glass shades in their lamps to absorb the healthful rays, Belvidere boasted four thousand inhabitants, thirteen churches, three newspapers, more than fifty stores, and three cheese factories. By May the Belvidere Library had grown to over one thousand volumes, and nine students received high school diplomas. T Nine students, four from one school, tive from the other, became the firstalumni of a Belvidere High School. From these small beginnings our high school has grown for seventy five years. Today nearly six hundred students attend B.H.S.--to study, to play, to cheer the Bucs. The little red brick school house has grown to a big aneg a school bus waits now where once stood the horse and buggy, ancl down on State Street the parking meter has replace the hitching post. Each class that has graduated from B.H.S. has madea contribution to the history of our school . For along with the initials in the scarred study hall desks, they have given usa tradition, a loyalty, a standard to live up to. Between these covers is portrayed the story of our days in B.H.S., our own contribution to this growing history. Here too is a glimpse into the past, a brief picture of students, teachers, and life in the good old days. Thus we, the Class of 1952, dedicate our Belvi to all the graduates of Belvidere High School. ln honor of them and in gratitude for all that they have done for us, we present this book to those who will follow.
