W .V IIUHTEHTS HUIHIHISTHHTIUH CLHSSES HUHUHS UHGHH ZHTIUHS HTHLE' US STUDEV LIFE SUPPLVIEIIT FUHEUJUHIJ The ideals of chivalry in the Middle Ages are not dead, nor should they be forgotten. They are ideals of service and loyalty, of fear lessness in the cause of right, of integrity in word and deed, and of courtesy, consideration and generosity. In this book, we seniors have recorded the year's activities in Belvidere High School. We make this our final reminder to the students and faculty of the responsibilities they share in upholding these traditions. IJEUIUHTIUH Four years ago as we entered Belvidere High School as freshmen, the new Community Unit School District 100 had just become a reality. This reorganiza- tion brought new responsibilities to a new principal, Mr. Virgil E. McAllister. In these four years Mac has had to make many decisions, Although we have disagreed with him on some we now realize that they were for our own good. We admire Mac for his forthrightness and sincerity and recognize the great steps forward which Belvidere High School has taken under his leadership. It is with a feeling of deep graditude that we seniors of 1953 respectfully dedicate our Bclvi to our fine principal, Virgil E. McAllister.

Kenny Albrecht, . . president HHIGHTS We feel quite sure of ourselves now that we are seniors and have at last received our knighthood. As we turn toward new horizons, we look back on our happy, carefree days at Belvidere High School. Entering Belvidere High School as Second-class Pages, 170 strong, we were ably guided by Jack Ryder, George Graves, Max Newport and Janet Brown .... Eileen Kiefer was our candidate for homecoming queen .... During the Christmas season our decorations, depicting a home scene, won second prize. . . .Our Boost- er Carnival king and queen candidates, Ron Helsdon and Sue McCoy, emerged victorious, a rare honor for a freshman class. As sophomores, we chose Ken Albrecht, Dick Elliott, Bill Smith and Roberta Wright to be class officers .... Homecoming candidates were Janet Brown and Howard Perrsong our float theme Sailing Over the Blue Streaks. Carole Neufer and Jim Coleman reigned over the Booster Carnival, our second victory. During our junior year, as Squires, we were led by Marion Giesecke, Dick Schlottman, Ron Dunbar and Bill Bauer .... Navy blue and white were the colors chosen for our class sweaters. Our rings were of plain gold with a raised design . . . . Marilyn Wirth and Don Barnum represented us in homecoming activities. . . . The theme White Christmas was carried out in the upstairs hall as our contri- bution to Yule Tide decorations .... Carl Warner and Dorothy Koplin made the junior bid for Booster Carnival success .... The Mantle was awarded to one of our gallant squires, Janet Brown .... The banquet and prom were the climax of a won- derful year. Knighthood at last! Under the direction of Ken Albrecht, Don Barnum, Sandra Julin and Marilyn Wirth, we completed our fourth year .... In spite of keen compe- tition, we crowned Ron Dunbar and Shirley Miller at the close of homecoming act- ivities. As we look back on four happy years, we almost wish we were starting again the trials and tribulations of attaining knighthood. 20 PLAY: Barbara Huckg Charles SOCIAL: Roberta Wrightg Bob Anderson Kleberg Jack Ryderg Eileen Jerry Jenseng Carl Warner, chairmang Keiferg Pat Morris, chairman.

FUTURE FHHIUEHS UF HIUEHIUH The Future Farmers of America is a club to which any high schoolboy interested in agriculture may belong, Besides their class activities, the boys take part in many outside projects. The chapter participated in the Sectional Livestock Show, officers' training school, fat stock judging contest and soil judging contest and a field trip to the International Livestock Show in Chicago. They also took several other field trips to various farms during the school year. These trips were both enjoyable and educational. In order to earn more money, the boys made cement hog troughs which were sold. All activities were under the guidance of Mr. Witt. The F. F. A. boys do not rest during the summer because they are busy getting their livestock ready to attend the Fair in August. The most important thing which the boys look forward to is the Parent and Son Banquet which is held in March. At this banquet, the boys received their awards. Some awards were given for special projects such as corn, dairy, or swine. The others were given on the basis of the point system. The most outstanding senior in F. F.A. also received an award. This was based on leadership and participation in projects. Because of the practical experience gained in this organization, the boys should all make better farmers. v 'R .1 OFFICERS Max Newport ...... President Bob Carpenter . . .

Charles Kleber, editor, has to see that the newspaper is ready to be published and is distributed on time. As make-up editor, Owen .Tohnson's job is to supervise the page layouts. He is aided in his work by John Kleber and .Tim Martin, assistant make-up editors. The advertising manager, Delores Hayenga, sells space for advertise- ments to local businessmen. This helps to pay for the printing of the paper which is given to the students and faculty free of charge. Much of the success of the paper is due to the advisors, Mr. and Mrs. Diggins and Miss Langmo, who willingly contribute their time and effort in producing a paper of which Belvidere High School can be proud.

This year there are nine members, representing the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. Early in November, the team traveled to Northwestern University for a workshop. They were guests on the campus for lunch and in the afternoon they studied the Northwestern debators in action. The debate team has gone to East Rockford and Leyden for practice debates. They will not be rated until April when they will attend the tournament contests. Their topic for the 1952- 1953 debate was Resolved: That the Atlantic Pact Nations should form a federal union. Although the Debate Club does not receive much glory and FIRST ROW: Hilary Hartter, Ron Turner, D01-is Larson, SECOND honor, it is one of the most constructive organizations in school.

The members have many routine and clerical duties. They check magazines and books in and out and shelve all returned books. They prepare new books for circulation by pasting cover pockets, pressing pages flat and putting the library's identification on a few pages through-out the book. The club members write and hand out overdue slips and take roll in the library. The club holds meetings twice a month at which members discuss library procedures and the contents of new books. The social activities include several parties and a spring picnic. A tea is given for the faculty during Book Week when the newbooks are on display. The students of Belvidere High School appreciate all the help the members of the Library Club give them. Dorothy Waterstraat, Rose Koplin.

Chuck Kleber, photographer and sports editor, was kept busy snapping pictures and collecting the vital statistics of the games. Dorothy Koplin and Shirley Dague, organization editors, were responsible for arranging and identifying the pictures of the various clubs. Eileen Kiefer and Barbara Luhman, the class editors, made arrangements for all the individual student pictures and then classified and identified them in order. Students rnsli to make monthly payments Marion Giesecke, faculty editor, was assigned the task of supervising the photographs of the administrators, teachers, and office employees. Pat Morris and Jackie Schnor, the copy editors, spent eighth periods comparing notes and experimenting with adjectives. Everybody brought his finished material to Frances Ferguson, the staff typist, who neatly typed it. After all the money was in, all the pictures taken, and the final copy sent to the publishers, the whole staff relaxed. There was lot of work involved, but the staff, under the direction of Miss Blackburn, really enjoyed the hours of work they put into this year's Belvi and they hope you will enjoy it too.

The band, which is directed by Mr. Harned, is made up of students from the upper three classes. The band marches at the half of all football games. This year they worked out many new and different formations. Some of these formations were Summer Sports , Story of Alumni , Halloween , and Mr. Touchdown . Marion Giesecke and Jim Martin served as narrators for these skits. After the gridiron season was through, the band formed a pep band which played for all pep assemblies and basketball games. The school season is not the only busy time for the band because they led all Belvidere parades. After the Memorial Day Parade, the band went to Sinissippi Park for its annual picnic. The school was very proud of its band for this year. In June, they attended the Harvard Milk Day Parade and marched in competition with fourteen bands. The band has a point system which is arranged so that everyone may earn points toward awards. Points are given for every rehearsal, for every sectional rehearsal, for lessons, and for playing at basket- 84 FIRST ROW: E. Vandercoy, J. Simmons, R. Winkelman, L, Littlejohn, E. Christenson, D.

The awards are a pin, six inch emblem, eight inch emblem, and a trophy for the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior awards, respectively. The band combines with the A Cappella Choir and Girls' Chorus for the annual spring banquet and dance. At this time the awards are presented and the officers for the coming school year are named. The twirlers and the drum major lead the band at all parades. They also march with the band at the football games and give twirl- ing exhibitions at the half of the varsity games. They also twirl with the pep band at basketball games. Mr. Harned formed a new organization this year which he called the Freshman Band. As the name implies, it is composed of freshmen. After a year of hard practice, the members of this organization will then be able to play with the Concert Band the following year. The Freshman Band has the same point system as the concert band. 85 l:I'ilIlClS Sie-luke TWIRLEZRS Clorice I-lawn Bill Short Doris Bartell Kay Miles OFFICERS FIRST ROW: Nancy Nash--Secretary, Owen Johnson--Vice- President.

This year the choir has a new director, Mr. Schwab. Under his guidance three new sextets and a girls' glee club, the Choralettes, were formed. He has worked hard to teach the choir the fundamentals of music. Under his direction the choir has performed for the Woman's Club and the High School P. T. A. They have also given two concerts, one at Christmas, and one in the spring. As in previous years the choir participated in the state contest which was held in late April. At a spring banquet the choir members were given their awards. They worked hard all year to receive these, and were very proud of them. They earned their points for these awards by regular attendance in choir and by public appearances. The A Cappella Choir is a fine organization and the school is proud of it. FIRST ROW: P.

BIG BUGS FUUTBHH CO-CAPTAIN MOST VALUABLE CO-CAPTAIN PLAYER Belvidere High School was represented on the gridiron during the 1952 season by a team of which all Belvidere was proud. The Bucs' roster contained fifteen seniors, twelve juniors, and three sophomores. The Bucs started off the season in fine form by trimming Reavis in an afternoon tilt at Washington Park, 12 to 0. The contest against Freeport was what the Bucs feel was their only great loss of the campaign. The Pretzels beat Belvidere, 49 to 20. Against Harlem the following week, the Bucs came back strong and whipped a very determined eleven, 25 to 7. The season record dropped to two wins and two losses as Leyden edged Belvidere, 20 to 6. During the week of October 10, a lot of work was done on the part of the Bucs in preparation for the weekend. It was Pep Week and Belvidere played Sterling in the annual Homecoming game at Legion Memorial Field. Belvidere's varsity was equal to the occasion and upset a powerful Sterling squad, 12 to 7. In the tilt with Marmion, the Bucs were held to a tie, 7 to 7. The Big Bucs were not so successful in their next outing, however, as they lost to Edgewood, 13 to 6. DeKalb was Belvidere's foe on October 31, and the Bucs rooters saw the most thrillingand heartbreaking game of the sea- son on that Halloween night. In a storybook finish, the Barbs pulled the game out of the fire by scoring a touchdown in the last few sec- onds to win, 12 to 7. Belvidere finished the season in fine form by whipping St. Thomas, of Rockford, 33 to 6. The final record showed four wins, four losses, and one tie for the 1952 gridders from Belvidere. With a few breaks the record could have been better, but even so, we are all proud of our Big Buc football team. 91 Wg vans ll I9 X qv- ' '- 'vi 3911 FJWQKI HF' ITU BUGS F 52 f has , ---ff .,,,, 1 1 .

The 1952 edition of the Belvidere frosh-soph football squad enjoyed one of the most successful seasons in many a year. The Little Bucs suffered only one defeat and it took a strong De Kalb team to do it. Perhaps the two greatest victories came over Freeport in the second game of the season, 38 to 0, and the Homecoming contest against Sterling, 19 to 13. Right in the middle of the season the boys were held to two ties, 6 to 6 with the Leyden Eagles and 7 toM7 against the Marmion Cadets. Coach Terry Ryan kept the boys hustling all season long as is evident by a glance at their record. Belvidere was mighty proud to support a football squad such as the Little Bucs of 1952.

The squad repeated as the St. Thomas Holiday Tournament winner. In the DeKalb Holiday tourney, Belvidere lost out in the quarter finals. Under coach Stan Patrick, the Bucs were spearheaded during the schedule mainly by Ron Helsdon and Jim Coleman, front line guards. Ron's best shot was the jump shot, which he frequently netted with uncanny accuracy. Ron averaged almost twenty points a game throughout the season. In the final regular season tilt, Ron broke the old B.H.S. individual scoring record held by Ivan Johannes in 1947. Ron totaled 434 points, to over the previous record. Jim was the Bucs' ace driver. Don Barnum, Boyd Hill, and Don Johnson were the other very important seniors. Tom Jones, sophomore center, tumed in many highly creditable performances, although in many cases, experience was the thing he lacked. Tom should be a great basketball player for the Bucs in the next two years. Other centers on the squad were Jack Ryder, senior, and juniors, Jim Smart and Doug Heinz. Other boys who saw considerable action were Ron Dunbar, Dick Elliott, Bill Bauer, Max Newport, and Bob Willis, seniors, juniors, Dick Walters, Fred Shook, Bemie Craig, and Alan Rogers. Belvidere got off to a fast season's ,start by trouncing East Aurora, 69 to 48. They lost the next two to DeKalb, 60 to 40, and West Rockford, 57 to 51, before bouncing back against Kirkland, 61 to 30. In the St. Thomas tourney, the Bucs picked up victories over Pearl City, 79 to 47, and Hononegah, 62 to 56, before defeat- ing St. Thomas, 74 to 60, for the championship. Against Hononegah, Don Barnum collected seventeen points, and in the title game Ron Helsdon netted thirty-four. Belvidere then moved into the DeKalb tourney, where they whipped Glenbard, 56 to 36. In the next game, however, DeKalb beat the Bucs, 75 to 62. After the holidays, East Rockford trimmed Belvidere, 56 to 45. The Bucs continued their losing ways against Mooseheart, 49 to 47. A galnst Beloit, Belvidere bounced back to win in an upset, 76 to With Coleman and Helsdon both hitting over twenty points, the Bucs swamped the Marmion Cadets, 73 to 37. Belvidere became over confident and was upset by Rochelle ina wild affair. Hebron, the 1952 Illinois state champs beat Belvidere, 70 to 61. The Bucs bounced back to whip Harlem, 46 to 36, West Aurora, 54 to 46, and St. Thomas again, 60 to 47. East Rockford then uounced Belvidere, 84 to 60. The Bucs were then upset by Waterman, 78 to 63, and Genoa, 64 to 59, before nosing out Marengo in the last minute, 54 to 52. In the Genoa contest, Don Johnson played his best game, scoring I7 points. With Helsdon hitting for twenty-six, Belvidere trimmed Reavis of Oak Lawn, 66 to 42. The Bucs finished the regular season with victories over Marmion, 50 to 45, and Rochelle, 48 to 43. The final record for reg ular season play showed fifteen victories against ten defeats ln one of the toughest schedules in Belvidere High School history. 96 .nh Tp x k if - Q B 9 3 A e Q- X Bill Bauer Bob Willis Don Johnson Boyd Hill Jack Ryder THE BHSHETBHLL BUGS 1952-53 Dick Elliott Q XBY-HY X 3 Q' , , ,L ,w 4 ' .

The Little Bucs, under the expert guidance of Terry Ryan, have completed what may easily be called a highly successful season, compiling 13 wins against 7 losses in regular season play. The Little Bucs started the season slowly, as they lost two of their first three games. After losing to Marmion on January 16, the Little Bucs had won four and lost four. The following night they started on a three game winning streak and then went on to win 9 of their last 12 games. Terry s cagers beat such teams as East Rockford, Rochelle, Beloit, Hebron, and DeKalb. The Little Bucs lost four games by seven or less pointsg Marmion twice, once by one point and the other time by seven points, East Rockford by six points, and East Aurora by five points. In all of these games the Little Bucs might have won, but it just wasn't in the cards. The most amazing thing about the Belvidere frosh-soph squad was the balanced scoring attack. All season long the opposition had to stop all five Little Bucs on the hardwood, not just one or two. The team worked together excellently and had a great will to win and always showed a fighting spirit. Coach Ryan built his squad around five sophomores and one freshman. Sophomores Tony Ashens, .Tim Elliott, Chuck Huck, Mike Morris, and Jim Schultz and freshman, Paul Rednour were the mainstay of the team. Of these, Morris and Schultz were the only returning lettermen. Mike filled in for Jones extremely well. He had an excellent fake, was a good shot and a spirited rebounder. Tom Jones, a sophomore, spent the season with the varsity. Huck, Elliott, and Ashens alternated at forward position with Morris at center, and Schultz and Rednour as guards.

The I952 Pep Week was one of the most successful group activities the students of Belvidere High School have ever conducted. This year, it was more than just a school affair. It was also a reunion for the football team of 1922. The former Belvidere High School grid stars took part in all the week-end activities. Each one was introduced and interviewed the night of the homecoming game. Rivalry between the four classes was boisterous and constant. Candidates for the freshman class were Jo Ellen Hoff- man and Tom Newell. Sophomore campaigners supported Jane Ann Carlson and Mike Morris, while the juniors backed Norma Boettcher and Bob Tomlinson. Shirley Miller and Ron Dunbar represented the senior class. The snakedance and bonfire on Thursday night built up the suspense and anticipation for the big game the following night. The Bucs, after defeating Sterling, I3 to 7, in a thrilling triumph, were honored at the homecoming dance, The Touchdown Whirl, on Saturday night. The coronation was a perfect climax to the week's festivities. Both football squads preceeded the candidates in the royal procession, followed by the crownbearers, Penny Sue Patrick and Denny Stemwedel. Last year's winners, Barbara Berry and Charles Cunningham, crowned the victors--Shirley Miller and Ron Dunbar. And so another memorable Homecoming week was added to the annals of Belvidere High School. 1 lCingCandidates Tom Newell Mike Morris Bob Tomlinson Retiring King Charles Cunningham LQSAQLCCH M Ha Shirley Miller Ron Dunbar R .immmbstargs ' Denny Stemwedel Penny Sue Patrick Retiring Queen Barbara Berry Queen Candidates Norma Boettcher Jane Ann Carlson Jo Ellen Hoffman W Ulf HHVE HELPED -J Prepare the meals serve the food The students of Belvidere High School also take part in working for their school.

Bill Schwebke's team won the volleyball champi- onship and Bob Bahling's team won the basketball championship. The intramural program was under the expert direction of Athletic Director, Joe Lewis. After the champions of each gym class had been decided, the championship round started with the class champs playing each other. To each boy on the champion- ship teams went a trophy. Joe also started a tumbling team that performed at the half of several of the basketball games. The members of this squad practiced long and hard and their performance is a credit to themselves and Belvidere High School. Mr. Lewis has done a great deal of hard work on the boys' intramural program and deserves much credit for its success. The girls volleyball teams were picked after three weeks of morning practices. One team was chosen from each class in school. During the fourth week, the teams played in the tournament to decide the school champions. There were many upsets in the games and the seniors came out on top. Miss Werth acted as referee and coach for all the games. They were hard to referee, as most of the games were won by one or two point margins. All the seniors congratulate our volleyball champs. BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS FIRST ROW: E. McKeown, B. Peterson, H.

The production staff re ceives little recognition, because its members are not often seen. It's the staff that puts up the stage scenery, carries the furniture on stage, is in charge of small props, helps make-up the cast, takes charge of publicity, and straightens out the financial entanglements. This year the staff did an outstanding job and to them goes much of the credit for the success of the play.

The highlight of the season came at the end in tournament play. The successful Belvidere team won the sub-district tourney played in Blevidere by defeating, of all teams, East Rockford! However, the Bucs had to play West Rockford in district play, also in Belvidere. Bob Willis, who was the pitching mainstay of the team all year and voted the Bucs most valuable player, was the starting pitcher against West. An unearned run tallied by West in the first frame held up, and Belvidere was defeated l-0 in a heartbreaker The Bucs got men on base and scoring opportunities but they couldn't push across the tying run, An outstanding performance was turned in by Jim Elliott in a Kirkland game when the Buc hurler pitched a no-hitter against the Komets.

Barnum winning 440 yard dash. The Bucs' 1953 track season was very successful if, for no other reason than that they managed to score eight points in the district meet held in Rockford. The Belvidere Thinclads finished second in more meets than they won, but they seldom finished third in triangular meets. The team was consistent throughout the season with four boys, two seniors, a junior and a sophomore, collecting a vast majority of the points. Don Barnum and Ron Dunbar sparked the squad and made Belvidere very dangerous in many events. At the close of the season, Don was elected the most valuable player and Ron was chosen captain. Barnum specialized in a total of six events and he frequently entered five in one meet. Don set a new school record in the 440 yard run. Other track events Don ran were the 220 yard dash , and the high and low hurdles. He also collected many points throwing the discus and the shot in the field events. The specialty of the team captain was the 100 yard dash. Ron was always considered the man to beat in this department. Ron also turned in excellent times in the 220 yard dash. He also served as anchor man on the 1f2 mile relay team. Sophomore Chuck Huck backed up both Barnum and Dunbar and also gave Belvidere needed strength in the high jump and broad jump. Dennis Dorn was the team pole vaulter and he tied the old B.H.S. record. FIRST ROW: Howard Persson, Oscar Hodel, Bob Harms, Dick Holmquist, Dennis Dorn, David Dettman, Doug Pearse, Jack Johnson.
