After a gay and care- free summer, we trooped back into the hal1s of ivy to begin another year of social life, cheering the Bucs, and oh, yes! --studying. Students formed a long, long line to register, receive locker numbers, and pay for their books. To the veteran students, the new construction work was quite a change although it took some imagination to see two new wings in the confusion. The new paint job in the study hall was a pleasant improvement, but the new- ness of everything wore off even faster than the handsome shine on the desk tops. The usual freshman bravado dis- appeared rapidly in the search for the elevator and room 101.

' 26664- In their initial start of the season the Bucs traveled to Harlem and hung up a neat 32-0 victory. The following week spelled defeat for the Bucs' first home appearance as they fell before a fast Edgewood of Madison team by a 12-7 score. During the next two weeks the Bucs won two consecutive out of town games against Lockport and Marmion Military Academy by 12-0 and 27-12. In the Homecoming game, Belvidere met Sterling which was one of the highly regarded teams in the state, and lost by the disheartening score of 8-7. Sterling went on to finish the season undefeated. The next game was also at home and was another heartbreaking loss, this time to Kankakee by a 14-13 tally. The Bucs traveled to North Chicago and lost 24-20 in a Saturday matinee. The last game of the season saw the invading DeKalb Barbs put down the Bucs by a score of 20-13. This closing game of the season, which was Dad's Night, marked the final high school football appearance for the twelve seniors, who were the nucleus of the '54 squad.

The students of B. H. S. paraded down State Street to the football field where pep talks, a bon- fire, and a lot of cheering touched off the week's spirited campaigning. Friday night was the big game. After the crowd had voted for their favorite candidates, they turned their attention to the field, but their enthusiasm was suddenly dampened by an icy downpour which rained out the band and the card section. The Homecoming festivities came to a pleasant end Saturday night with the Homecoming Dance. This was held in the dining room of the Community Building which was cleverly decorated. Finally, when the big moment had arrived, the junior candidates, Marvin Schuster and Sallie Strate were proclaimed King and Queen of the 1954 Homecoming. Everyone was proud of a well conducted Homecoming and a deserving King and Queen. 746n0t?WtdrZl666t Dave James, Paul Artlip, Alan Steurer, Jerry Curm- ingham, Sallie Strate, Marvin Schuster, Peggy Luckow, Andrealiowlctt, JudyPetersor1, Caro1How- lett.

Although the list grew slowly at first, the lower hall was the scene of a milling mob of prospec- tive Pep Clubbers as the final deadline dawned. Members were then entitled to first choice of seats in the cheering sections at football and basketball games and for the first time member- ship cards were issued. The advisors were Miss Werth and Mr. Lewis. The Pep Club had to get well organized at once, because its first and biggest job was Homecoming. The newly elected officers and advisory board took over complete responsibility, and everyone pitched in to make the pep rallies, the game, and the dance suc- cessful. The Pep Club supplied the yelling at the games, aided and abetted by an enthusiastic cheerleading squad, who backed the Bucs with a lot of spirit and vigor throughout the year. President.

Its controlling purpose is to promote good sportsmanship in all athletic events. This group of lettermen was organized in 1926, and still holds to its original constitution. Qualifications for mem- bership were changed in 1952, and any athlete who has earned a letter is eligi- ble to join. There were 80 members this year. It is an honor to be a member of this club, but it also entails some hard work. Each boy, to remain in the club, must earn a minimum of eight credits by working in the refreshment stand at football and basketball games. Mem- ' bers also take turns ushering at horne basketball garrles. In March the club sponsored the frosh-soph tournament, an annual event encouraging good sportsmanship, The B Club always leaves a gift to the school and community for the bene- fit of future athletes. This is made possible with money earned by the sale of popcorn, coke, and apples at all home athletic events. In past years the club purchased the time clock and scoreboard in the Community Building, the football warm-up coats, and a S5450 popcorn machine. This year's project was to build a brick refreshment stand at the football field. Me game... IUNIOR MEMBERS FIRST ROW: I. Johnson, D. Schaetzlein, R. Steinke, C. bong, M. Schuster, T. Newell, P.

The concert band has been most ac- tive this year. Presenting a show at halftime the band marched in uniform at each home football game. Directed by Mr. Harned, it took part in the music department assembly programs at Christmas and Thanksgiving, and pre- sented one program alone. It also pre- sented a spring concert and toured cities in northern Illinois. Each year the band sends several soloists and small ensem- bles to the State contest. In addition to the large concert band there is a subordinate band. The Fresh- man Band is made up of prospective members who need a little more season- ing for the Concert Band. They receive special instruction and must pass a test before they may become full fledged members ofthe Concert Band. The Basketball Band supplies rousing mu- sic at home basketball games. This is a select group from the concert band, numbering about twenty-five. Ours is considered among the best high school bands in northern Illinois, and Belvidere High is justly proud of it.

It was founded in 1944 by Mr. Moss, who, with Mr. Meyer- hofer, co-advises the present club. Industrial and vocational arts stu- dents work two periods a day in the machine shop, learning by exper- ience the fundamentals of industry. A year's work includes shopwork, drafting, movies, and talks by in- dustrial leaders. The officers went to Springfield early in October to take part in a leadership training course. Classes were held in which officers learned what their specific duties were and discussed parliamentary procedure. A credit system was used this year in which members must have eight credits to stay in the club, twelve to buy a pin or jacket, and sixteen to go on the Chicago trip. The credits may be earned by serving on committees, working in the check room, and volunteering to work on the Mexican carts, which are a major source of income. At the end of the year those who qualified took part in the annual trip to Chicago. On April 5, the local club presen ted a program on WREX-TV in Rock- ford, promoting the organization of similar clubs throughout the state. 7 ' da Mike Morris, Ron Concialdi, and Dale Everson head the drafting The president addresses the banqueteers. class. 5 :sept .

GWM alma qfamemadeu mefzdccz The Future Honnemakers of Anerica are a local branch ofthe national organ- ization. The club is advised by Mrs. Shaw, and members have opportunities to attend programs on cooking and sewing, to get experience and knowledge that will be valuable to them in the future. Several innovations have appeared this year. A new point system requires that a certain number of points be earned in or- der to remain a member, to be an officer, or to be eligible for the Chicago trip. The girls earn points by selling candy and greeting cards, attending local and out of town meetings, helping plan parties, and by work on individual projects. Also organized this year was the new degree project, The degrees of achieve- ment are Junior, Chapter, and State, with these symbols: the key, scroll, and torch. Members must qualify by demonstration of projects and through knowledge of the Creed, Constitution, and By-laws.

Its purpose is to promote better relationships among the faculty, students and communityg and the Council has done an excellent job. Some of this year's projects included the Freshman Recep- tion, a series of assembly programs for the student body, and in conjunction with the Band, the purchase of a new school flag and an American flag for the use of the school. The Council also sponsored the Christmas program and the formal installation of all class and organization officers at the beginning of the year. The Council directs and advises the election of all class officers. The Student Council's biggest money- making project was the Council Car- nival, held in early spring. This featured concessions, a king and queen contest between classes, and a lot of work and fun for everyone. An entirely new project was the flag selling campaign. The goal was a flag in every home and classes competed in selling the flags for a cash prize. This year the Student Council had 29 members, elected in the fall by their home rooms on a representative basis. The group is advised by Mrs. Sellers and Miss Brannah. 706:14 ,wma panama to le Installation proves to be serious business, In only ten easy lessons or one hard one, WLBK here we come!

The alarm clock blasts sleepy G, A, A. members out of bed at an un- earthly hour once a week, in fair weather and foul. They stagger into the High School at 7:00 AM to report for that three to five mile nightmare, the G. A. A. hike. This is one very good way to earn points necessary to stay in the school's largest organization and, incidentally, attend the two annual dances. The G. A. A, adopted a rigid new point system last year, whereby a member must have Z4 points to stay in, and 75 for an award. Eight o'clock classes in dancing, volley- ball, and basketball, and stunts were held all year as an additional way to earn points. This year a new project was intro- duced--selling sweatshirts. They were made with a clever alarm clock emblem designed by Joyce Schulte and Pat Wen- zel. This project was met with an en- thusiastic reception. Another project was the annual pecan sale, a total of over 5000 pounds were sold. Members also sold pencils with the basketball schedule on them. All of this income is used for awards and dances. The Christmas Snow Ball, originally scheduled for Decernber 29, was postponed at the last minute by an old-fashioned blizzardg but the dance took place the following night and most of the members agreed that the excite- ment had added to the fun.

The dec orations were put up, and overnight the high school teemed with the Christ- mas spirit. The competition between classes was keen.

It meets every day during eighth period. Mrs. Reeves directs it, doing a fine job in spite of the always present gym class overhead. In spite of all of its troubles, the choir has achieved a busy and successful record for the year, presenting a Christmas concert, sev- eral assembly programs, and a spring concert in April. Awards are given on the basis of a point system. Students may earn points in many ways such as member- ship in outside musical groups and church choirs and attendance at con- certs. Misbehavior results in a de- merit which may be worked off by washing Windows and sorting and re- pairing music., The second demerit is the signal for the Defendant to ap- pear before a board who decides on further punishment. A branch group, the Koral Klub, meets at eight o'clock on three morn- ings a Week. This group went on a tour of neighboring cities in March and pre- sented a varied program at several high schools.

Its members, mostly freshmen, learn the fundamentals of choir work, such as following the director, sight reading, and express- ion, and they get experience that will be valuable in a more advanced group. This year the Girls' Chorus of seventy five members met daily during the seventh period. They took active part in the Christmas concert, the spring concert and several assembly programs presented by the music de- partment. The girls tried their hand at all types of music, from religious music sung a cappella, to novelty and romantic selections. Directed by Mrs. Reeves, the Chorus has shown some excellent potential. The student accompanist is Dana Van Epps. One of the outstanding assembly programs in which the Girls' Chorus participated was the recording session when the music department and a dis- cussion group presented a half hour radio program. The recording was later broadcast on WLBK, DeKalb. Girls' Chorus at the Christmas Concert. SOCIAL COMMITTEE: Mary Alice Julin, Kay Johnson and Marian Ferguson.

With a few more breaks the Bucs could have easily turned some of the defeats into victories. The highlight of the season came during the East Rockford game. ln one 0 the most exciting games ever staged in the Community Building, the Bucs won 69-67 in four over- times. Terry Asbury swished two gift shots in the fourth overtime which finally seated the victory. A senior and a sophomore, Tony Ashens and Clarence Paulson, pro- vided the Bucs with much of their scoring punch. Credit must also be given to Tom Jones, Terry Asbury, Mike Morris, Jim Elliot, Jim Hoiness and Dick Holmquist, for their fine play on the courts. The Hebron game saw the Bucs setting a new floor record for a Bel- videre team. In the final seconds Tom Rippentrop made two free throws which broke the record and made the final score 88-63. Although the Big Buc record was not highly successful, we were proud of the team spirit exhibited by the players. 74a If dcwkezffall, Me mama of ide unmet..

H. S. watched twenty-seven scared candi- dates try out for the cheerleading squad After three days of suspense, the re- sults of the voting were announced, and the Belvidere High cheerleaders were soon at it again. They spent every S eighth period practising new formations, learning new cheers, and strengthening their lungs. The squads led cheers at every game and planned and led pep assemblies, several of which featured clever skits. The varsity squad, Joyce Schulte, Sallie Strate, Mary Brady, Donna Jo Falkenstein, and Carol Slater, had new outfits this year---white corduroy jac- kets paired with white circle skirts lined with purple. The frosh-sophs, Linda Sewell, Peggy Luckow, Bunny Rundell, Doris Clausius Gay Gren und Judy McLean, Donna Jackson, and Val-, erie Burnham, were very up-to-date in purple corduroy skirts, white sweaters, and knee-socks. Both squads worked closely with the Pep Club to promote school spirit, and they were advised by Miss Werth. The cheerleaders have a responsibility to their team and their school---to keep on boostin' the Bucs. We cer- tainly have the coach, team--, but our cheerleaders deserve a lot of cre- dit for the pep, steam! 704ez'4wyaam6n.afz What's the matter, Jim? Not interested? Hip-hip, get that rip!

A mad clatter of typewriters and the muffled groans of proofreaders sig- nify to the pas serby that the Bel-Hi News, the school newspaper, will soon be out. Little does an outsider know of the work involved in publishing a news paper. There are four departments: news, feature, editorial, and sports, which cover all the aspects of school life and furnish interesting reading. The page editors decide what should go on each page. The student re- porters, about one hundred in num- ber, will tell you that they receive an assignment each month to write up neatly and in correct English. The page editors must assign the articles, correct and rewrite them, if necessary, before the edition is made up. Wona Dodge, the advertising man ager, must secure advertising rom local merchants and see that it re- ceives proper space in the paper. John Kleber, the editor-in-chief, has the responsibility of seeing that these many tasks are done as well as pos- sible and finished on time. The whole staff is advised by Mrs. Barrow and Mr. and Mrs. Diggins. The Bel-Hi features an extra at Christmas and graduation. Each issue with its pictures, cartoons, features, and occasional scoops is eagerly awaited. , , eafitafzdezia, dfdfbfd, and ado...

This organiza- tion is a local chapter advised by Mr. Witt. It is active all year around, since summers are spent readying livestock projects for the fairs. Besides class activities, the mem- bers take part in many outside activ- ities in which they get important prac- tical experience. This year some of these were the sectional and state live- stock selection and judging contest, and the milk and soil testing programs. In the corn growing program each stu- dent decided which type of corn was best adapted to his farm. Members also learn public speaking and the art of parliamentary procedure. One of the year's highlights was the trip to Chicago, financed by the sale of ce- ment hog troughs made by the boys. At the end of the year, the Parent- Son Banquet was held, at which the project awards were presented. The F, F, A, is a very worth-while organ- ization for the boy who has ambition in the field of agriculture.

The club met monthly and enjoyed some very worth-while programs including a movie, Skippy and the Three R's, a panel discussion of students on school problems, and speakers rep- resenting colleges and different fields of teaching. Carol Gorman acted as program chairman. At Christmas the Club sent two Friendship Among Children and Youth packages, one to India and one to Korea.

The boys are nominated by the coaches and voted upon by the faculty, To be chosen as a member of this group is valued as a high honor. The members of the National Honor Society are chosen from the junior and senior classes by the faculty. Membership in this organization is one of the highest honors which any high school student may receive. To qualify, a student must be outstanding in scholarship, leader- ship, character, and service to the school. Last year four juniors, Sareta Cowger, Dave James, John Kleber, and Pat Peterson, were elected. This year Ron Goetz represented the junior class. Seniors chosen this year were Adele Sellers, Sandra Rhodes, and Nancy Cain. 46m :hw 44:4 FIRST ROW: Adele Sellers, Nancy Cain, Pat Peterson, Sandra Rhodes.

In the fall Joyce Schulte, the art edi- tor, planned the layouts and took charge of the art work. Diane Summers our business manager, started taking monthly payrnents and balancing books, and Jane Herzing began work on the faculty section. Tom Conwell, our on-the-spot photographer, led a hectic life sneak- ing up on unsuspecting subjects, fo- cusing at tricky angles. The sports editor, Dave James, was kept busy all year tracking down scores and sorting athletes' pictures. Ruth Ann Blake, the copy editor, spent her time writing class and organization histories and trying out new adjectives. Rose Koplin was in charge of the index, a new addition this year. Noel Kenyon, the poet in our midst, as odds and ends editor , handled a multitude of odd jobs. Adele Sellers, typist, had a big job, all of which had to be done exactly right and on time. Pat Peter- son, the editor, acted as chief co- ordinator and part time Overseer of everything from faculty to copy and business management. Miss Blackburn, the advisor, and her staff of ten seniors slaved early and late recording a big year in words and pictures. 770444 tome mmf Dave and Adele work like crazy to Ruth Ann assists Diane in collecting meet the deadline payments for the yearbook. 5 Everyday occurance: Noel takes pictures to McClary' Rose toils away on the index with her helper, Donna Sinclair.

In our first year we were led by Mike Morris, John Kleber, Sandra Rhodes, and Jim Schultz. We chose Joyce Schulte and Allen Fidder as our Homecoming candidates. Doris Larson and Tom Jones represented us at the Booster Carnival. Sighs of relief marked the end of our freshman year, and We elected John Kleber, Jim Schultz, Jane Anne Carlson, and Pat Wenzel as our sopho- more officers. Mike Morris and Jane Anne Carlson were our Homecoming candidates, and Hilary Hartter and Jim Schultz our Booster Carnival candi- dates. Upperclassmen! We got used to the idea as the Candy Girls went into action and began raising money for the Prom. Our officers were Allen Zierke, Ed McKeown, Ruth Ann Blake, and Nancy Cain. Mary Brady and John Kleber were our candidates at the Council Carnival, and We backed Annie Billman and Tony Ashens for Home- coming. The candidates for our last Home- coming Were Carol Howlett and Dave James. taddeewefze ,clawed . SOCIAL COMMITTEE-FIRST ROW: Joyce Schulte, Mary Brady, Noel Kenyon, Chairman.

S. saw Bob Berry, Dick Winkelman, Carol Gorman, and Ellen Christiansen as our class of- ficers. Our Homecoming candidates were Jo Ellen Hoffman and Tom Newell, and at the Booster Carnival we voted for Donna .To Falkenstein and Paul Rednour. As sophomores, we elected Janet Ackerman, Dick Winkelman, and Lois Carlson for our officers. At Home- coming, Carol Leonard and Terry Asbury represented us. The highlight of the year was the Coronation of Donna Church and Bob Harms as King and Queen of the Council Carnival. Ronald Goetz, Tom Newell, Kay Cooper, and Jo Ellen Hoffman were our officers during our junior year. Our candidates, Sallie Strate and Marvin Schuster, were crowned 1954 King and Queen during the Home- coming Dance.

Having made that transition, we now look for- ward to our junior year, and the re- sponsibilities of being upperclassmen. In our freshman year we elected Charles Cowger, Beverly Turner, Ann Keating, and Joyce Wimberley as our class officers. Peggy Luckow and Jerry Cunningham were the Home- coming King and Queen. Our Nativity Scene, on the study hall stage, won the Christmas contest. Doris Clausius and Jerry Rowe represented us at the Council Carnival. In all, our first year at B. H. S. was a triumphant one. As sophomores, we elected Judy Peterson, Dennis Conwell, Linda Sewell, and Sandra Barr to be our class officers. Our Homecoming candidates were Judy Peterson and Paul Artlip, and our Christmas theme in the upper hall was One God, One World. f-fe 4 ea we This part of the world is interesting and historic. 6x -f24 fx + yj - Oh, my aching head!

H. S. and are looking forward to being sophomores. We were introduced to the activit- ies and organizations of Belvidere High School at the Freshman Recep- tion, held on September 21 by the Stu- dent Council. Seven eager candidates for class offices, who had circulated petitions beforehand, campaigned for one week. On September 24 we elected our first class officers: Lee Zierke, Danni Whitehead, Rochelle Wascher, and Roger Koper. With our advisors helping us over the hurdles, we decorated the entrance with a nativity scene at Christmas time Andrea Howlett and Alan Steurer received our enthusiastic support during the Homecoming campaign.

THE COURT: Gay Grenlund, Ginger Cooper, Sandra Rhodes Carol Gorman, Jim Hoiness, Bob Tripp, Darryl Moss, Dave Ferguson. CROWN BEARERSQ Gregory Collins and Kristine Hollembeak. ie Zadenz' gunned! amdaaf The week before the annual Council Carnival resounded with the spirited cam paigning of all four classes. Promise of a fun-fi led evening drew a record crowd of over 1380 people. The theme, Fan- tasyland, was carried out in the booths and decorations with clever Cutouts of Disneyland characters and crepe paper streamers for a carnival effect. The huge crowd kept the concessions busy until time for the coronation cer- emony. Entertainment on the stage re- lieved the tension somewhat, with Ron Goetz singing Easter Parade, Punky Grimes and is saxophone and B, I-I.S. 's own Firehouse Four Plus Two. At last the big moment arrived, and the Com- munity Building rang as the 'unior can- didates, Carol Gorman and .iim I-Ioiness, were crowned and reigned over the rest of the evening.

After many long weeks of rehearsal on the studg hall stage, the cast and staff of Three lind Dates, the senior class play, moved over to the Community Build- ing to begin the last week of intensive re- hearsal and preparation. The play was presented on May 12. and 13, and was hailed as a very successful and profes- sionally staged comedy. It revolved about Katy Ellis and her brother, a very scientifically minded col- lege student just home for the summer-- along with a colleague, a very important formula, and an unfortunate distate for reacted violently when Noel Kenyon as Katy revealed her plans for his vacation, involving three beautiful women and leav- ing little time for the secret formula.

But his colleacgue, Neil, played by Ed McKeown, had ifferent ideas Katy's friend, Helen Woods, played by Mary Brady, didn't help matters any with her eternal bragging about her brother.

Hawn as Mr. and Mrs. Ellis tried in vain to keep their once peaceful home from popping at the seams.

The whole cast turned in excellent per- formances, and credit should also be given in full measure to the capable staff, who worked behind the scenes to keep the final production going smoothly.

The 1955 edition of the Belvidere High School baseball team enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in the history of B. H. S. In compiling a record of 16 wins and 3 losses, t e Bucs shared the Rock Valbety Conference Championship with West Roc ord. Once again Joe Lewis produced a pitcher of igh caliber. This year it was Jim Elliott who had a record of eight wins and two losses. He was backed by the cap- able hurling of Red Knapp who posted a six and one record. A great deal of the hitting power was supplied by a sophomore Jerry Cunningham and a senior Tony Ashens. Cunnin ham finished second in the Rock Valleygbatting Morris, senior first baseman. Zcwefczfl averages and had an overall season record of . 443. Ashens finished second to Cunning- ham in the conference in stolen bases. At the end of the season the team elected Elliott as the most valuable player and Mike Morris as captain. The regular infield consisted of Tony Ashens, third baseman, Tom Newell, short- stopg Terry Asbury, second basemang and Mike Morris, first baseman. Senior Wes Hyland did most of the catchin behind the plate. Marv Schuster and Don Tbevine alter- nated between right and left field positions, while Jerry Cunnin ham patrolled center field. Other outfielsers who saw action were Vern Schwebke and Dick Holmquist, center fielders.

Coach Bill McKnight's tracksters were led by two juniors, Oscar Hodel and Bob Harms. Hodel ran the 440 yard dash and the 880 yard dash and lost only once in the 880. The man who beat him qualified in the state meet. Harms ran in the low hurdles and missed breaking the school record by . 2 of a second. In taking a closer look at the Bucs' track record, it looks more impressive. The only loss of large margin was to Free- Sort in the initial meet of t e season.

The trackmen finished second to Harvard once again in a meet which also included Harlem. Against Sycamore in a dual meet the Bucs were victorious in both frosh- soph and varsity totals. The Bucs entered both the DeKalb relays and the Rockford District, but did not place in either one. The small number of those out for track handicapped the team's chances of winning.

This year an intramural track meet was added to the list of sports. Each class fielded a team and the sophomores emerged as the victors. Each man on the winning intramural team receives a trophy. Each tournament game is taken very seriously and many exhibitions of fine performances can be seen during these contests. 5, ., an--n , l 'iv T' Q ' I 4 U' 1 I g at Q., V i vwqf suns f5lil,f'l 'iii Q ...fe-, xi il :iii C ,.,,' f BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS: FIRST ROW: D.

Adult supervision was provided by Mac and the bus drivers, who enjoyed the picnic as much as their charges. Baseball, golf, tennis, and hiking were available to keep picnickers busy, although the feature attraction seemed to be the water sprinklers on the golf course--and, of course, the groceries from Piel's. 1' li .5 2- i fit , 5 f 1 1- l . 1 Vlpvv W X .
