Just as our parents tell of 'r l the da s of the Stutz Bearcat, we'll be able to tell of ' 4 the hydromatic and turbo drive, four barrel carburetors, if 'gndex I 2 I- and full race cams. For in this scientific day and age stu- l dents of Belvidere High, like other high school students t throughout the United States, display keen interest in cars of y all ages, shapes, and styles. V Our school, too, has witnessed many changes through they years. lt is like an automobile in that it needs synchronized gears and accurate instruments to create a smoothly running system . It our hope that by traveling with us through this Belvi, you'll be able to see that just as fuel , brakes, and the spark that creates combustion intthe engine are necessary for a streamlined drive, so a school needs students, faculty, rules and regulations combined with the spirit to reach its perfec- tion .

This school in- cludes kindergarden through the sixth grade and a junior high which all seventh and eighth graders of the district attend. The bond issue in l952 made it possible also to remodel Lincoln, Logan, Perry, and Caledonia schools. At Belvidere High School a new machine shop, agriculture building, and industrial arts department including shop, planning rooms and office were built. The old Washington School Annex was connected by corridor to the main high school building . New enclosed fire escapes and additional washrooms were provided also, and a corridor was built connecting the Com- munity Building and high school. All rural schools are now closed and bus transportation is being provided for the total area of T70 square miles of the district. fldminiatnation and Slacultq ln presenting the school board and administration of BHS, we include the faculty, whom we can compare to the intricate mechanism of a car's steering gear. They serve as our guides, seeking to equip us with the proper fuel so that we may become better qualified to steer our routes down the highway of life. We are very fortunate to have such competent well-qualified teachers in Belvidere High, over fifty per cent of our faculty has its master's degrees. This is a very outstanding record, of which we, as students, are proud. We not only think of our faculty as our instructors, but also as our friends, both in and out of the classrooms. They advise us in our extra-curricular activities and are always willing to help us in our personal problems relating to school--from learning better study habits to ideas for campaigning and decorating for dances. lt's through their helpfulness, knowledge, and leadership that we gain lasting impressions for our futureg for they aid us so that we may lead useful, contented lives, and may have fond memories of the good ol' days at Belvidere High School.

Each student is required to carry three years of English to graduate. The re- quired courses are freshman and sophomore English. In the junior year, the student has a choice of taking American Literature, which is college pre- paratory, or Contempary Literature. In the senior year, students may elect English Literature, which is college preparator , or Public Speaking. An upperclassman may also select to take a year of Journalism, which class publishes the school paper Bel-Hi News . It is the aim of the department to give each stu- dent a basic knowledge of grammar, skill in com- munication, and a knowledge and appreciation of literature. Four years of foreign language are offered, two of Latin and two of Spanish. These courses give an opportunity to learn how a language is constructed, the idiom of a new language, and a factual and cultural knowledge of another country and people. MISS RUTH BOWMAN M. A. .

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The chief aim of Belvidere High 's Science Department is to acquaint all students with the general field of science. General science, re- quired of all freshmen, and biology, taught usu- a' ly during the second year, are both well cor- rolated with the science offered in junior high. The iunior and senior years of science, chem- istry, and physics, are to further the students' interest and understanding of science in pre- paring them for college or a career in this vast, wonderful world of science.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT One year of mathematics is required for graduation from Belvidere High School. An algebra aptitude test is given to eighth grade students in the spring. All students who do not make a sufficiently high score on that test are placed in general mathematics. This course is designed to help students with their quantitative problems in every day living and to give them a preview of algebra and geometry. Algebra I and plane geometry are suggested courses for anyone going to college. Algebra I is designed to develop the concept of symbolism and general number. Plane geometry stresses the concept of proof and applies arithmetic and algebra to two-dimensional space. Advanced algebra, trigonometry, and solid geometry are offered for those interested in careers in science, en- gineering, and mathematics. Students going into these fields find it a distinct advantage to enter college or tech- nical schools with a good mathematical background. Stu- dents who leave high school to enter industry find that advanced algebra and trigonometry are big factors for success. Remember the good old days of 26-2. MRS. ELIZABETH HARRISON M.

The aim of the Music Department is to teach the students the fundamentals of producing good music while achieving enjoyment. Students taking band instruments are placed either in the third period band or the advanced band which meets during the first period. This advanced band drills daily during football season to perform at the home games and lead the town and school parades. A music appreciation course is new to B. H. S. this year. For the first time in Belvidere High School the Vocal Music Department has six choruses. The first hour chorus is a mixed one consisting of fresh- men students. During second hour, a chorus of freshmen girls meet. The fourth hour chorus, which is known as the Sweet Sixteen has the top sixteen voices in all the choruses singing. The fifth hour chorus is composed entirely of sophomore girls. Sixth hour chorus is made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The last hour of a BHS school day has upperclass girls in chorus. Music, maestro, please! Music appreciation class learns about the bassoon. midi. MRS. MARGARET REEVES B. A., Iowa State Teachers College, Cedar Falls, Iowag Vocal Music. P09015 MRS. RUTH BROWN B.

Courses offered include two years of typing and shorthand and one year of bookkeeping and office practice. The aim of the department is to meet the needs of the students. It is the hope of the department that every stu- dent will take at least one year of typing as it will be useful to him in his personal life, in his college work, and in a professional way. Since a thorough mastery of shorthand is nec- essary to a good secretary, students taking short- hand are trained in dictation and transcribing the material into letters which their employers will be proud to sign. In bookkeeping the basic principles of account- ing, which a student can apply to any type of business, are studied. Italsoserves as o basis for higher account- ing in colleges and universities. An office practice course has been introduced this year. Those taking advanced shorthand and typing are eligible for this class. Various office machines are I Studied throughout the year, as well as business corre- Spondence and composition of letters.

Page 22 ?onwand Sven ---- Can you imagine yourself, say twenty years from now, showing your Belvi to some very skeptical teen-age sons and daughters? Ma be it would go something like this. . . What do you mean, 'what kind of a car is I that?' In my day, yes, the 'olden times' one was really 'riding in style' if he could go to the Prom in a CADILLAC CONVERTIBLE! I'll have you know that your mother and I dressed very similarly to those pictured when we went to the Prom. So in respect for your parents, please stop laughing! What a class we had, oh, we didn't 'hog' all the honors, I must ad- mit, but we earned our share and above all, we took full advantage of the unlimited oppor- tunities BHS gave to really enioy ourselves. Let 's see, our freshman officers were: Chuck Cowger, president, Bev Turner, vice- president, Ann Keating, secretary, and ioyce Wimberley, treasurer. We started high school with Peggy Luckow and Jerry Cunningham as our victorious candidates. Our Nativity scene on the stud hall stage won first place in the Christmas decorating contest. We wound up the year by can-ying on our hard work to be- come runners-up for the Council Carnival reign. Our candidates, Doris Clausius and Jerry Rowe, lost by only two voted f3l6 to 318, to the sophomores. For our second year in BHS we chose Judy Peterson, president, Dennis Conwell, vice-president, Linda Sewell, secretary, and Sandra Barr, treasurer. We were proud of Judy Peterson and Paul Artlip, who were our candidates in the Homecoming court. The theme 'One God, One World' was used by our class to decorate the bird cages for Christmas, this placed second in the contest. SOCIAL COMMITTEE: FIRST ROW: Ginger Cooper, Gene Menge. Co-Chairman Bev Turner. SECOND ROW: Anita Kuss. Bunny Rundell, Co-Chairman Marcia Neufer, Ann Keating. Baclzwand Haven. Ginger Cooper and Darryl Moss carried the class's hopes for Council Carnival reign. We chose 'Evening in Paris' for our Tri-Class theme. During our first year as upper-classmen, juniors, we were raring to go. We elected the class officers, Gordon Medaris, president, Dave Smith, vice-president, Ruth Carlson, secretary, and Gene Menge, treasurer. We campaigned vigorously for our fine Homecom- ing candidates, Julie Oliver and Dave Smith. We again decorated the bird cages for Christ- mas, this time using 'Peace On Earth' as our theme. We were well represented for Council Carnival by our candidates, Linda Sewell and Chuck Cowger. We showed BHS a new and different way to earn mone for Prom by put- ing on a chicken dinner. T is proved highly successful, for we were very proud to sponsor 'Golden Fantasy' as the theme for the Prom. Oh how well I remember the BIG ear, when we were seniors. It seems like on y yes- terday when we elected Linda Sewell, pres- ident, George Gibson, vice-president, Dixie Kelly, secretary, and Jim Summers, treasurer. We were surely excited when our beaming can didates, Joanne Coarson and Giles Turner, were crowned as queen and king for our last Homecoming in Belvidere High. Our Christ- mas decorations in the annex won first place, 'Peace' was the theme we chose.

However, fun and good times were still prominent. lf my memory serves me right, when we, the Class of '58, were freshmen we elected Lee Zierke, president, Roger Koper, vice-president, Rochelle Wascher, secretary, and Dan Whitehead, treasurer. We really showed enthusiasm cam- paigning for Angie Howlett and Alan Steurer, our hopeful Homecoming candidates. Keeping in the Christmas spirit, we used the theme 'Joy to the World to decorate the main stairway. We were noted for being full of fun and in our usual gay spirit cam- paigned for our Council Carnival candidates, Gay Grenlund and Dave Ferguson. As sophomores, we elected Doug Edmonds, president, Dana Van Epps, vice-president, Kay Johnson, secretary, and Mary Alice Julin, treasurer. We proudl put up Kay Johnson and Butch Barr as our candidates for the Homecoming crown. For Christmas we used the theme 'Three Wisemen' for decorating the main stairway again. Frances Blake and Steve Combs, our Council Carnival candidates, carried well our name to the royal court. Tri-Class, with 'Harbor Lights' as its theme, was given in honor of the seniors. We continued electing capable officers our iunior year by voting in Joyce Catron, president, Kathy Dobbins, vice-president, Jiles Cole, sec- retary, and Doug Edmonds, treasurer. Our first Homecoming candidates as upperclassmen were Mary Alice Julin and Daryl Palmquist. We decorated the study hall stage for Christmas using 'Nativity Dream' as the theme. ?WEATER and EIAXRNIVAL COMMITTEES: FIRST ROW: anice Dwan, airman Judy St, john, Marion Fer uson.

You mean you don't I those 'Bermudas' the girls wore? Why, they were the newest trend in sporting fashions. Even the boys for at least some boys, wore them. Our class kept up with all the latest ideas and brought about some of our own for BHS. ike SOCIAL COMMITTEE: FIRST ROW: Mary Alice Huber, Judy Kingren, Mary Ryoti, Georgeann Gibson, Lila Stoner.

Page 50 Dick Jacobson, president, Bonnie Bowley, vice-president, Rochelle Wascher, secretary, and Judy Summers, treasurer, were our first class officers in Belvidere High. We used unique cam- paign ideas for Sharon Burton and Dave Curtis, our Homecoming candidates. Our Christmas dec- oration of the front entrance placed second in the contest. 'The First Christmas' was the theme we used. For the Council Carnival we campaigned very hard for Janice Bucklin and Bob Smith, earn- ing a runners-up title. As sophomores those elected to lead us were Richard Jacobson, president again, Nancy Schuler vice-president, Bonnie Bowley, secretary, and Kathy Kiddell. treasurer. Sue Asbury and Pat Johnson, our Homecoming candidates, well earned second place in the race for the Homecoming reign For our Christmas decorations on the stairs above the front entrance, we depicted a winter scene, showing a city's skyline with twinkling lights in the background, and four choir boys in the fore- ground .

He for shej would be considered the very luckiest by his school mates. Our 'green' year in B.H.S. was a different one, putting it mildly. Although at first things seemed strange, as they must to all freshmen, we soon learned the ropes and displayed well our eagerness by campaigning for Karen Reed and Jerry Dulgar, our Homecoming candi- dates.

The Student Council of Belvidere High School is meeting. The aim of this Council is to create a harmonious relationship between the student body and the administration as well as between the school and the community. Last spring a new system for electing the Council members was initiated. Instead of being elected by his homeroom every fall, a candidate for Student Council membership must file for petition during the schoal's election week sponsored by the Student Coun cil . When he has a quota of signatures, his name is printed on the ballots to be distrib- uted to his classmates as they vote for their class officers and Student Council President. The freshmen members are elected in the same manner in the fall of the following school year. When all of the members are elected representing their classmates, they elect the other Council officers. Then each member is assigned to a homeroom. The Council sponsors many activities throughout the school year. To acquaint the freshmen and new students with the various school organizations, a reception Council is held in the fall for them. The installation of organization officers, class officers and Student Council members, is sponsored by the Council. The Christmas Decoration Contest planned annually by the Council not only arouses class competition but gives the halls of BHS a happy yuletide spirit. This year the Council introduced a civil defense program to Belvidere High. Possible shelter areas were measured and the plan of action organized. During the homerooms the Council members instructed the students on the drill procedures. When the staccato ringing of the bell was heard, the students went to their designated shelter areas, thus introducing a new and effective civil defense program for BHS. All the townspeople as well as the students look forward to the Student Council Carnival held in the spring. This is promoted as a means of aiding organizations and classes to raise money. This also brings about class competition, for the high-light of the evening is the crowning' of one class's queen and king candidates, elected by the votes of the people' attending the carnival. Mrs. Alwilda Sellers and Miss Joan Brannah, the Council advisors, are very important to the success of the Student Council. Qualities Oli President of Student Council, Dave Smith, is installing the organization officers and Student Council members.

It is required by the state organization that each girl earn twenty-five points a year. To qualify For awards the girls must earn seventy five points a year. The first year award is a set of numerals, the second is a B, the third is an I, and the fourth is a state emblem. The girls are proud to be members of GAA, the second largest organization of Belvidere High. Its purpose is stated in the pledge: l promise to uphold the ideals ofthe Girls' Athletic Association, by promoting interest in athletics and the out-of-doors, by living so that I may be healthy and strong, by making good sportmanship a constant factor in my conduct. The GAA sponsors many activities during the year. The first is the buddy hike held in the fall for all the girls of BHS. This hike is five miles long and is climaxed with a welcome picnic supper.

The girls also have a concession at the Student Council Carnival. The holiday formal dance, held in December, is a big event for all GAA girls and their dates. This year the theme was Mistletoe Magic. The charming young ladies escorted by their handsome chosen ones completed a picture of elegance as they danced to the music of Don Docker. In February the pledges at last could take off the badges they'd worn since the beginning of the school year. On the twenty-first, the formal initiation was held, installing them as full fledged members. The parents of members and of the pledges were invited. Coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies were served afterwards in the social room of the Community Building. The informal dance was held in April. Dreamy decorations carried out the theme of Springtime Splendor. Couples danced to the music of Al Raymond's orchestra . The mothers as well as the GAA girls look forward anxiously to the annual Mother and Daughter banquet held in the spring.

To become a member a boy must have earned a letter in an interscholastic sport or as o manager. The purposes of the organization are to promote good sportmanship among athletes and to assist in all athletic events. One retains this membership by earning a num- ber of working credits. These credits ore earned by helping with the club's functions which include running the concession at all home football and basketball games, ushering at these games, and helping to conduct the annual Frosh-Soph tour- nament. The profit from these functions makes it possible for the club to give awards to qualifying senior members, and to sponsor a picnic in the spring cli- maxing the year for the B Club and the club's project. Also in the spring, this organization sponsors the s orts banquet. At this banquet the Blake Rairdin Memorial for the iunior or senior manager who has shown the best example of service, schol- arship, and citizenship during the year, and the Ed Huck Memorial for these same qualities of the outstanding senior athletes are given .

Bel--Hi We get the Bel-Hi todayll' Those familiar shouts are exclaimed bi-monthly by the students of BHS. The paper they receive contains either four or six pages . Inserted in each issue once a month is a copy of the Roto, a small scale graphic section furnished as a free public service by the National Scholastic Press Association. The staff also puts out special issues. lf the paper comes out around holiday time, the readers find recognition given to that holiday throughout the pages. This year special issues were given for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and at graduation time. Each student receives a Bel-Hi free of charge because of financing from Community Unit School District l00 and advertisements obtained from local businesses. Soon after each issue comes out, the page editors start planning what to include in the next issue. When it is decided, the editors give out assignments to their reporters. The advertising manager and her assistant get busy selling space for the next issue's ads, and the business mana- ger makes out and collects all bills for the ads. After the reporters complete their assign- ments and meet the word quota, the editors edit the copy and put it in a basket for the staff typists. Tlewa When the copy has been typed and re- checked, the copy and page layouts are taken to the printers about a week before the date of distribution. After the proofs come back from the printer, the staff proofreads and gives the printer the OK to print the paper. When the paper comes back from the printer the second time, with a lot of hustling, another issue is distributed to the student body during eighth period or at assemblies. lt is then that the exchange editor tackles her job of mailing copies to many surrounding schools, local busi- nessmen, and alumni. About this time, the students ask, When does the next Bel-Hi News come out? The work put into the publication of the school paper is done primarily in Journalism class, however, many of the staff find that they have to work outside of class-time to meet the deadlines. This class is taught by the Bel-Hi advisor, Miss Ida Burleigh, who is always ready to help the staff with their production problems. FEATURE REPORTERS: FIRST ROW: Vivien Mau.

All choruses use the point system to earn their awards, which are presented annually at the spring banquet. They also employ the demerit system, in which points are deducted for unbecoming conduct and be- havior during chorus. Page '84 'Ji Ri, 'Ji Re.. For the first time in Belvidere High, there are six periods of vocal music daily. Each of these choral groups meets in the new vocal room, which formerly was the band building. Without the gym classes overhead, these choruses have had more of an opportunity to develop their ability and talent. During first period, a mixed freshmen chorus of fifty-one meets. This chorus made its first public appearance at the annual vocal Christmas concert on December l2. The girls were attired in dark skirts and white blouses, the boys in suits.

This group presented different types of music at the Christmas concert. Their apparel at the concert consisted of pastel skirts and sweaters. These girls have shown a desire to learn and the ability 'to do so. Their qualities were evident in the written semester examination which was initiated in all the vocal classes. This exam dealt with the process from the time a breath is taken until the sound is produced, and the makeup of good tone quality. I Page 85 Zi, Ze, Zo, Za. The A Cappella, Formerly known as the Koral Klub, composed of fifty-six students, mainly up- perclassmen, meets sixth hour every day. This group was highlighted at the Christmas concert, their repertoire including selections from Handel's Messiah. Impressive in robes, the A Cappella led the processional of all the choirs who carried lighted candles, a custom unused in recent years at BHS.

As each girl graduates, another is chosen to take her place. These girls have shown their musical ability at the annual Chamber of Commerce dinner, as well as at the concerts and other programs. La, Le, Li, Lo, Lu. The sophomore girls' sextette has shown an abundance of potential. These girls began their sextette this year and have sung at several pro- grams, in addition to participating in the Christmas and spring concerts. All of the vocal music groups at BHS are under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Reeves. The accompanists are students who also sing with the groups. They are: Dana Van Epps, Geralyn Lepart, and Bev Turner. lt is the fondest hope and, earnest desire of Mrs. Reeves that some day every student of BHS will be a part of vocal music, so that they, like those who now participate, may truly learn to pro- duce and enioy music, through work and fun'.

The annual Christmas decorating contest sponsored by the Student Council serves two purposes. It serves as a means of adding a festive air to our school. In this manner, class competition reaches a peak. The win- ner of this contest has first choice of con- cessions for the Council Carnival. Congrat- ulations to all four classes for a fine showing.

Willing student groups such as these help BHS run smoothly. BHS patrol boys keep the school buses safe for students . The office workers consist of iunior and senior girls who spend one period each day help- ing in the office and collecting absence slips. What would Miss Hinrichs and BHS do without the capable library assistants? Thanks to the junior candy girls, our craving for sweets is satisfied and the iunior treasury grows fuller and fuller.

These service groups keep the work at BHS rolling. Our five school custodians and two student janitors work hard and long to keep the build- ing spic and span. Student proiectionists really come in handy when things need focusing. Many students earn their meals by helping in the cafeteria. Of course, we couldn't do without our efficient cooks. li 5 as flat B5 41 Y, Q i 5 sg g,2Tf1':'l STUDENT PROIECTIONISTS: FIRST ROW: John Pearson.

The Freshman Reception welcomes freshmen to the activities and organizations of BHS. It is held at the beginning of the school year and all freshmen are urged to attend . The annual PTA New Year's Eve party ushered in the New Year in style. Brightly colored hats and noisy horns were given out iust before midnight to greet the new year. Mrs. Melchior and her marionettes presented us with an entertaining assembly. Congratulations and a small remembrance are given to the Senior players ata pep assembly for a wonderful Football season. As the students cheer louder and louder at an exciting pep assembly, the dying school spirit begins to rise. Mr. William Grady presents senior Football players mementos of their days at B, H.S. All await the 12:00 hour. Mrs. Melchior and her flirtatious worm enter tain all at a Student Council assembly. The spirit of Belvidere High rises again. Page 118 'Jhe peachea that teach ua. .

S In using the parts of an automobile, we have inter-related them with the many vital working ports of the school which are needed to make it go. We trust that you, in reading these pages aboutgr school, have enioyed it as much as we have taken pleasure in pres- enting it. A sincere thank you to Mr. York McClary, for his help on pho- tography, to Mr. Wilbur Mong, for taking the aerial view of BHS for the staff artist, to Miss Minerva Blackburn, for her patience, guidance, and sense of humor in advising us, and to you, the students of BHS for helping us in so many ways to make the BELVI a success.
