Cur first Homecoming was a real ball! Sharon Burton and Dave Curtis were elected as our candidates. Before we knew it, Christmas was upon us Our Nativit Scene brought us second place in the decorating, con- test. At the Council Carnival, Janice Bucklin and Bob Smith capped second place for our class. Heading our sophomore class were Richard Jacobson, Nancy Schuler, Bonnie Bowley, and Kathy Kiddell. We really flipped when Sue As- bury and Pat Johnson won second place at Home- coming. For Christmas decorations we depicted I2 Senior Class! a winter scene. Lynn Meyers and Bob Jones were our Council Carnival candidates. For a keen junior year our officers were four terrific kids: Mar Oakley, president, Don Swan- lund, vice-president, Bonnie Hopperstead, sec- retary, and Kathy Kiddell, treasurer. Homecom- ing that year was a cool iewel cuz Sandy Glass and Curt Tobin carried our class to victory. Christmas was the most, we won first place with Angels from the Realms of Glory. Officers for our senior year were four slick chicks: Judy Jones, Judy Summers, Bonnie Hopperstead, and Georgeann Gibson. With our last frantic Homecoming cam aign we cinched a tearful victory for our canclidates, Bonnie Bowley and Russell Wheeler. . accepting responsibilities .

SHARON BROOKS Secretary JUDY MASON President ALVIN FLETCHER Trea surer ELAINE BOTTEMA . Vice -President MISS HINRICHS and MISS BENNETT Advisors Guys and gals of the Junior Class, y0u're really hep! At last we were upperclassmenl Golly! lt didn't seem possible. No more were we looked upon as the in-between sophomores. Many of us got our drivers' licenses during the summer, and had a panic roddin' around town. But, like wow, school started, and our pleasant summer memories were left behind as we- were caught up in a whirl of activities. Our iivin' iunior girls sold paper and candy before and after school. They also sold goodies at the football and basketball games. Our officers for this year were terrific! Judy Mason, president, Elaine Bottema, vice- president, Sherry Brooks, secretary, and Alvin Fletcher, treasurer. Then up popped Home- coming. We bugged out and worked hard this year. Our candidates were really neat. They were Melissa Dunbar and Rich Alms. We looked forward to our first big bop -- the Prom, but we found out it was a lot of work. Even at the beginning of the year, we had to get movin' on ideas to make it the best ever. As upperclassmen, we were allowed to take the Scholarship Qualifying Test -- What a blast!! We studied frantically all year, espe- cially Latin and Geometry. Tons of fun but, we had to use the old grey matter too. We will never forget our super iunior year! What! A SENIOR in our midstr?

That Sophomore Class is really on the ball lt sure felt great to be a sophomore instead of a little green freshman. By now we were be- ginning to know our way around school a little better. We found we had a rougher schedule as far as subiects, homework, and all that kind of stuff was concerned. Our officers for this year were really tops! Diana Whitehead, president, Judy Malmassari, vice president, Vicki Neu- meister, secretary, and Kathy Jury, treasurer. We really worked like mad for our candi- dates at Homecoming. We chose Joyce Howe and Stan Jackson to represent our class. Since the Belvis didn't come out until the fall this year, this was the first one we received. They really shook us up. Now we felt pretty big because our 36 sophomore boys got to play the regular B. H. S schedule in football and basketball games. Our football team didn't win 'em all, but the fans were backing them all the way. At the end of the season the record was four wins out of eight, which we thought was pretty wicked. We also got to participate in the jazzy sophomore tournament. Our class had charge of the main decorations for the Tri- Class dance. We wanted to show the other classes that the sophomores weren't a bunch of squares, so we worked fast and furious to make the dance a success. Now we're looking forward to a fanta- bulous iunior year! a r I v 1 rg 2 B SOCIAL COMMITTEE: Norman Schuler, Ruth Lindaas, CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE: Front row: Bev Dittbenner, Marcia Rrchart, Bob Beu, co-chairman.

DIA NE BERRY Treasurer DICK ANDERSON President SHARON NEUFER Vice- President MISS JACOBS AND MRS, FORD Advisors Our Freshman year put us in a whirl! As we entered our first day of Belvidere High School, our minds were filled with many things: excitement, fright, new names, new faces, dis- may, and everyone seemed to be in such a hurry. Many times we didn't get the drift of everything and sometimes we goofed. Even though we were only little green freshmen, we soon learned the other students and teachers were very helpful and friendly. It wasn't long before we felt as if we were really a part of B.H.S. Our officers this year were really peachy. To lead our class we chose Dick Anderson, president, Sharon Neufer, vice- president, Toni Hoffman, secretary, and Diane Berry, treasurer. Then came our first Homecoming. We really got quite a iag out of it. We worked hard and were rewarded when our candidates, Sharon Brace and Larry Hopperstead, nearly won. lt seemed as if something new and exciting came along ever time we turned around: elec- tions, pep assemblies, Student Council programs, hikes, football and basketball games, dances, new friends and all the many other things that made our freshman year one we will never forget. We had two hundred and eighty kids in our class, which was the largest class that had ever entered B. H . S. I am sure that they will agree that B. H.S. is O. K.

Mathematics We train our minds with problems ?il55L -' Delbert Swanson gets the point. We all realize that more stress is now being placed on mathe- matics in every field of endeavor. The mathematics program in Belvidere High is complete, up-to-date, and flexible enough so that we can take all the courses we need. Soon after we enter high school, we are urged to investigate the mathematics requirements of the careers in which we are interested. With advise from the administrators and the mathematics teachers, we are then able to enroll in the courses best suited to us, We may earn a total of five credits in mathematics, although only one credit is needed for graduation, Three one year courses of general mathematics, beginning algebra, and plane geometryg and four semester courses of intermediate algebra, trigonometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra are offered. We can take more than f ssi. ff. one mathematics course in a semester. Through the study of math we develop a sound background for college, careers, and private life. is ,,wH!'4?!f1iU' Algebra addicts line up for a blackboard quiz. 58 is J fmi fxs hN'N'4i was 'Shi- Forceful, fascinating physics Generally speaking, science is fun, Science We meet the challenge of science The posterior end broke off! With space satelites circling overhead, and atomic-powered submarines probing beneath the polar ice cap, we are increasingly aware of the mysterious scientific forces around us. The training of scientists has become vitally important to our nation and to all mankind. The science curriculum at Belvidere High School lays the foundation for scientific analysis and accurate observation of the familiar world around us, In the required general science course we become acquainted with various fields of science, Biology offers us the study of living plants and animals. We acquire the feel for quantitative relations and explore the fascinating concept of atoms in chemistry class. We study mechanics, heat, light, magnetism, and electricity in physics. Perhaps the most important part which science courses can play is leading us away from fear of the unknown and opening the door to eager acceptance of the promise of the future, if 1 ffilsl 3 Carson's creative chemists 59 Qi We ecome proficient Despite the popularity of television, telephone, and telepathy, the written word is still important and a comprehension of the skills of reading and writing is required of all of us. lI,lIl, IV, and contemporary literature.

We learn more details of grammar in Spanish II and speak only the Spanish language in la clase espaTi'ola.

To fully understand the obligations which accompany this privilege, we must have a' knowledge of the organization and history of our government. The required courses in civics and American history and the elective courses in current and social problems supply this basic knowledge and develop patriotism and appreciation of our rich heritage. As citizens of a rapidly-shrinking world, we must also have an interest in international affairs and strive to overcome blind prejudices against races or countries.

We who enjoy producing music participate in Belvidere High's exten- sive music program. We take part in instrumental music by playing in the first hour Concert Band or the third hour Cadet Band. We perform at the home games, lead the holiday parades, and present an annual spring concert. As part of the vocal music department we sing in one of five choruses. Three of the classes consist of only girls, while the other two classes have both girl and boy students. Many of us also belong to special choral groups. We devote much of our time and effort to the yearly Christmas and spring concerts. We entertain our fellow students or school programs and display our talent to the community at club meetings and churches. Some of us take a course in music appreciation. We learn to recognize instruments and to understand and admire good music. 63 ls this a French horn or half note? ads... N. Memorization and- ------ dictation Is cash an asset or a liability? Business Education We plan for careers in business To many of us, our high school course is a quick means to a livelihood immediately after graduation. Courses in office practice, bookkeeping, shorthand, and typing prepare us for employment in the business world, or encourage us to a further study of executive and secretarial skills. In office practice, we learn to perform certain office duties, compose business letters, and use various office machines. Shorthand I and II enable us to take dictation at a reasonable speed and transcribe this material into correct form. Some of us take these courses to build practical skill for personal as well as professional use. We progress from jf jf jf to business letters, term papers, and tabulated reports. We master the principles and procedure of bookkeeping that aid us in managing our own finances and prepare us for accounting jobs.

Vocational Arts We acquire vocational skills We, the food growers and dairymen of the future, develop competent rural leadership and confidence in our work through three courses in agriculture. Included in our courses are the study of animal production, animal and land judging, machinery repairs, and farm management. Through classes in woodworking, drawing, metals, and electricity we become interested in industry. Also, we develop an appreciation for fine workmanship and an understanding of tools and industrial processes and problems. Homemaking I and II teach us the fundamentals of sewing, cooking, interior design, and child care. The family living course prepares us for marriage and parenthood by encouraging a mature attitude toward money management, family and 1 community responsibilities, and infant care.

The Bucs opened the '58-'59 season with a de- feat at the hands of Dixon, 24-6. The young Belvidere team lacked experience in their first game. ln their second game the Bucs lost to DeKalb, l2-7. A second half rally put the Barbs in front to stay. The following Friday proved to be a different story. That night the Bucs were hosts to St. Thomas. With the score tied l3-l3 and IO sec- onds to go, the Bucs climaxed a drive with a pass play to win the season's most exciting game, T9-l3. The crippled Bucs put up a gallant stand a- gainst Marquette of Ottawa only to lose 28-7 in the season's fourth contest. The Bucs dropped the four remaining games of the season to tough opponents: Harlem, Edge- wood, Marmion, and Rochelle. Though the Bucs had the lowest number of victories in many years, the inexperienced squad, which had only seven seniors on it, shows promise for the future. 70 Front row: W. Otto, B.

The following week they swamped the West Rockford B team, 53-0. After a loss to Harlem, they outlasted the Beloit gridders in the Homecoming Game, 20-l3. Marmion proved to be too much for the Little Bucs to handle as they were whipped, 40-O.

This year's squad was composed mostly of sophomores and juniors. Among the leading iuniors was Dick Thornton who, during a practice session, ran the course to set a new school record.

After dropping one to Honnene- gah, they defeated St. Charles and Rochelle. The fourth meet with East Rockford ended in a tie. Though the grapplers were unable to win any more meets during the season, they gained valuable experience from wrestling with su- perior teams. This year the team consisted largely of sophomores with only two seniors. With prac- tically the whole team returning, opposing - teams next year should find Belvidere a tough team to beat.

DAVE CURTIS Jur1i0r F0rward Senior Forward 77 N 'r' The Belvidere Bucs opened the season strongly, winning four out of their first six games. They took the opener against Hebron, 50-45, where the keynote was inexperience and lack of teamwork. In the second game the varsity showed great improvement as they trounced a tough Sycamore team by twelve points, 62-50. The West Rockford Warriors invaded the Community Building next and handed the Bucs their first defeat, 59-48. They lost their second straight when they traveled to Freeport where they absorbed a 49-32 licking. Belvidere rebounded from their losing ways to whip an unbeaten St. Thomas squad, 67-43. BILL WILSON Continuing in their role as spoilers, the Bucs knocked off another unbeaten Junior Guard team, Stillman Valley, 71 -67. The Bucs fared badly in the holiday tournaments, winning only one game out of three. At Harlem, Sycamore revenged an earlier loss, 58-53, to eliminate the Bucs. Belvidere did salvage the St. Thomas game, however, with a 68-50 decision to place third in the tournament. At the DeKalb Holiday Tournament the Bucs were beaten by Downers Grove, 67-49. The Belvidere quintet then lost two more games, to East Rockford, 68-40, . and to Harlem, 61-57.

The Bucs then went into a mid-season slump which saw them lose five straight games. The first of these was to St. Charles by a score of 54-48. They lost a heartbreaker to Rochelle, 72-70. Two free throws in the final three seconds provided the margin for the Hubs. The Bucs also lost to DeKalb, 81-47, to Mar- mion, 75-59, and to Genoa-Kingston, 89-60. The Belvidere five finally topped Harlem, 67-48, in the Community Building to end their losing streak and make up for an earlier loss. The E-Rabs defeated Belvidere again at Rockford, 81-66. In the final quar- ter the Bucs closed the gap to four points but were unable to sustain their rally. The Bucs beat St. Thomas for the third time, 63-6l , in a real thriller in STAN PATRICK and which Chuck Byers made a layup just as the game ended. RUDY CHAPK0.

The Little Bucs opened the season with a victory over a tough Hebron club, 35-26. Two weeks later the team lost a heartbreaker to West Rockford by only one point, 37-36. Near the middle of the season, the Belvidere quintet chalked up their second win of the year with a hard fought victory over Stillman Valley, 52-5l . With three-fourths of the season gone the Belvidere five won their third victory by defeating Marmion, 53- 46. Belvidere's fourth victory was the most dramatic of the season. The Little Bucs played a previously unbeaten Dunbar quintet. The game was a see-saw battle with the Bucs winning by a slim margin, 47-40. ln the final game of the season Belvidere showed their superiority over Marmion as they again defeated l'l'1e Cadets by G SCOl'e of 43'-35.

The freshmen had a respectable record this year winning eight games and losing only three .' They won their first five games before failing in an attempt to make it two in a row over Freeport. The frosh then went on to win two more games, one in which they edged Sycamore by only one point. Toward the end of the season they dropped their two other games to DeKalb and Sycamore. Each of these teams revenged earlier losses. The final game of the season was a return engagement with Marshall in which Belvidere added another victory to its string. The freshman team is divided into two squads each of which plays alternate quarters In this way more boys are able to receive experience in competition. lf the freshman team continues to improve, they should develop into a really strong team.

They worked diligently at their duties which were numerous and time consuming. The managers hand out equipment, take care of minor first aid problems, polish the balls, and record statistics at all games. When an out-of- town game is scheduled, the managers must pack the uniforms, towels, and the balls. Their day starts right after school at 3:30 P.M. and may not end until 7:00 P.M. The manager's job is performed mostly behind the scenes and he usually does not receive all of the credit due him. His iob is not well publicized but the effects of it are felt in many ways. With- out him the team would not be able to work efficiently. -1 ,ol I 'ff , svn: fs 1 foggy Q I Homecoming weekend. . . Clweering the Bucs. . .

We are the Bucs Who's working before the game tonight? These words often were spoken by president Jake Jacobson at many B-Club meetings last year. To continue membership in the club, the boys have to earn six credits. This is done by working at the concession stands before and during all football and basketball games. Although the senior boys did not receive black and white jackets this year, they did receive a letter costing not more than two dollars. Only the senior boys who earned one of these letters could buy black and white jackets. Every year the club, under the supervision of Joe Lewis, sponsors a project. This year the club furnished two permanent basketball hoops in the Belvidere park for public use. B-Club Ushering---a B-Club member's joy. What'll you have? 88 Go - Bucs - G0 When's Homecoming? The answer to this question, asked early in September, started the ball rolling. The officers, advisory board, and advisor, Miss Werth, spent many long hours planning the activities for October 16, 17, and 18, which were highlighted by a pep rally, football game, and coronation dance. Amidst the whirl of the homecoming festivities, the advisory board pushed the sale of programs, pom poms, and pennants. In the Spring, attention was focused on honoring all the participants in spring sports, cheerleaders, and managers by sponsoring an informal dance. Throughout the year, members of the largest organization in B. H. S. devoted time to arousing school spirit and encouraging good sportsmanship among the students.

SUE ASBURY is typical of the group saying that her most mem- orable experience was being elected a B.H.S. cheerleader. Her favorite jump is the split jump and she likes competition yells for really rousing spirit. Cheerleading is SHARON BURTON'S favorite and most relax- ing activity. She likes the victory jump and competition yells, her favorite being, Freshmen, are you with us? Bumping into a referee, exclaimed KAY STEINKE, was her most embarrassing moment. Our team will fight, is Kay's favorite cheer and she prefers the back jump. MELISSA DUNBAR likes competition cheers, especially, Hey, have you got that spirit? She likes the split jump and was ex- cited to be selected as a varsity cheerleader. RUTH SULLIVAN, who came from Monroe, Wisconsin, as a sophomore, likes the victory jump and the cheer, We're going to RUTH SULLIVAN Junior fight. Miss Werth is the cheerleading advisor. 90 A salute to the Belvidere Bucs! M A11 set. .....you bet! ifiteglfi 'Wi ' s, ' 5 5' 5 553, filo.

The annual Christmas concert, representing countless hours of practice from over 240 Vocal Department members, was over, and ever one took a deep breath and began stumbling through new songs for the spring presentation. All the behind the scenes work for the two concerts had taken place in the daily classes of the five choruses under the direction of Mrs. Reeves. First hour consisted of freshman girls, while the second hour was a mixed freshman group. A new group had been formecl during third hour from sophomores, iuniors, and seniors whereas sixth hour was primarily upperclassmen. During the last hour of the day, upperclass girls rehearsed . This year the vocal department sold candy as a special money raising project, and, with the profits, purchased a piano, a set of chimes, and new robes to add to the organ and robes attained in the previous years.

We are the eighth hour songsters. What did ou say the note was? Hail ! Hail ! The gang's all here. Two new choruses have evolved from the vocal department this year. The Holly- berries, girls who volunteered to take part in an all girl ensemble and to practice in their spare time, were the first addition. Fire engine red sweaters and black skirts, accentuated by angora headbands and snowwhite muffs covered with silver spar- kle made the Hollyberries a big hit on the stage.

Promoting mutual interest in the principles of modern industry formed the basis for this year 's Industrial Arts Club, noted the advisor Mr. Wagley. To achieve this goal, the regular meetings featured many talks by industrial personnel. Anyone who was or formerly has been enrolled in Industrial Arts classes was eligible for membership which could be retained by earning credits through the sale of club products. The boys learned to become more proficient at their particular jobs by attending the state and regional dis- trict leadership conferences. Their interest was encour- aged by many field trips to various conventions and fairs. Foremost among these were the State convention at Springfield and the Student Project Fair at Northern Illinois University, DeKalb.

The parents of six iuniors and eighteen seniors received a letter from the Tri-M, a national music honorary society, informing them that their son or daughter had been invited to join. To become full fledged members, those nominated had to pass a test requiring knowledge of the society's constitution in addition to maintaining a C average and being enrolled in music classes for at least one semester. This society, advised by Mrs. Reeves and Mr. Harned, met once a month during activity period and sponsored a special initiation ceremony for new members.

Seniors Work hard to produce captivating comedy Class Play l just mention it, says the woman ofthe world Maudie, main character of the play, Men are Like Streetcars. The play revolves around the problems of the Mason family, which consists of Mother, Dad, Sylvia, and Maudie. Alix, Julie, and Lysbeth, Maudie's girl friends, have one interest in common - boys. Joy, Maudie's cousin, starts following Maudie's boy-catching technique, with startling re- sults. The handsome men who add a romantic touch to the plot are Davy, Chi, Ted, and Jerry. Margaret, the family maid, and Mrs. White, Mrs. Allen, and Mrs. Day help make this an enjoyable comedy. Directors of the play were Miss Joan Jacobs and Miss Sharon Rehberg.

'I29 How will it ever get done? This was the cry which was familiar to all G.A.A. members as spring ushered in a flurry of activities. Prominent among these was the annual Mother- Daughter Banquet which celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. Over 50 alumnae and past officers returned for the event and saw many awards given to members for activity points. The Rosemary Zvonar Memorial was pre- sented and the following officers were announced: Dale Dewane, president, Dodie Dooley, vice president, B. Sue Moss, secretary-treasurer: Joyce Howe, junior assistantp Mary Kay Artlip, sophomore assistant. In order to augment the sadly de- pleted treasury, the G.A.A. members all contributed to a city wide bake sale. TRACK TEA-M: Front row: T. Stenerson, D. Maitland, K. Pearse, E. Kelly, G, Schultz, P.

Track Thinclads Build For Next Year The track team, though they didn't place first in a meet, never showed a lack of spirit or stamina. Composed mainly of underclassmen and a few returning lettermen, the team's scoring power relied on several outstanding individuals. Glenn Adamson, sophomore lf2 miler and hurdler, named most valuable, and Bob Ashley, sopho- more sprinter chosen as team cap- tain, captured the maiority of team points. The team showed improve- ment throughout the year. Next year the thinclads with the return of veteran members should be tough er to beat. l ., 'If-..' is George Nelson and Dick Thornton come GOLF TEAM: Front row: l-l. Thompson, G.. Simons, T.

The tennis team had a record of one win, five losses, and one tie. Each of these teams lost several meets by very slim margins. The first two men of both teams will be returning next year. In each case the first two men got most of the points for the team. Both teams showed a lot of spirit and desire to win, and their records do not do justice to their performances. I. Chamberlin. I.

The Bucs, defending Rock Valley Conference champions, had a 5-6 conference record to place fifth. This is the lowest they have finished since being in the conference. With one excep- tion the Bucs never lost by more than two runs. Belvidere had the two top conference hitters in Richard Smith and Jack Chamberlin. Smith finished with a .360 average and Chamberlin had a .346 average. This year's team had only four seniors on it so the team will be returning strong next year. They should find some excellent replacements among the Frosh-Soph team who compiled an impressive record of eight wins against three losses. f. .U A, .4 ' XA So near-and yet so far.
