However, to the Class of '56 it has become a very real thing. We are living in a world where empha- sis is placed on progress. Unfortunately, we take very little time to think of making this world a safer place in which to live. Therefore, we, the members of the senior class, dedicate this yearbook to the ideal of safety in the future with the hope that Belvidere High School will never again be touched by tragedies which can be pre- vented with a little thoughtfulness. twig To help and guide us if ,A CQ I ADMINISTRATION ' We do- AND STAFF l V . i ,, M n I we M ff Q W-.. 4 . fn Seated, left to rightg Mario P.

TO THE CLASS OF 1956: Parents, guardians, and other citizens of a community, through their Board of Education, continually strive to provide the best possible administrators, teachers and other educational facilities for the education of the young people under their iurisdiction. Collectively these ele- ments form an institution of learning called-school. Every school takes a keen interest in the progress of its pupils and in the careers of its graduates. The interest arises from two sources. First - the school, particularly one the size of ours, comes to know its pupils as individuals. Therefore, the school takes a friendly interest in where the graduates go, what they do, and the kind of lives they live. Second - the school as an institution of learning, is interested in the impression it makes upon the pupils who enter, and after four years, graduate from it. Someone has said: The nature of a school is known to a considerable extent by the quality of the future lives of its graduates. We, the members of the Belvidere Board of Education, believe the Class of l956, as graduates, will contribute in large measure to the success of Belvidere High School. To each member of the class we wish a life of service, success and happiness. HARRY L. ACKERMAN, President Board of Education ot the Town of Belvidere Superintendent It has been said that there are two edu- cations. One teaches us how to make a liv- ingp the other how to live. My wish for you has been that during your days at Belvidere High School you have availed yourselves of all the physical, men- tal, social and character development pos- sible of that which has been offered you. Good luck to you as you leave high school and face the greater problems, responsibili- ties and opportunities which lie ahead. MARIO P. GRIPPI Superintendent of Schools' A R A always there with understanding 154: Principal Throughout your school days you have been told many times that you were being prepared for your future. l hope you realize that graduation from your high school or even from a higher institution of learning should not end your preparation for tomor- row. All the years that may stretch out be- fore you, live them fully by concentrating with your intelligence and abilities on doing today's work well. That is the best possible way to prepare for the future. FRED J. VOWINKEL, Principal S' x. I r 2 l I 7 46' ,J '-. i 2 ,A . , V7 3 I i. A I .

R OBERT NOLAN Other Executive Committee Members: Kathy Watchorn, Bonnie Lehr, Larry Kern and Mike Echevarria. Class Advisors: Mr. Dominick Colangelo, Miss Ruth Williams Miss Sara Andrews Mr. Jesse Taylor Mr. Kenneth Raessler Head Advisor The Class of '56 got off to a roaring start in September, 1952, when we elected Shirley Knerr our capable president, Barbara Vannatta, vice-president, Bette Smith, pencil pusher, and Johnny Melchor, keeper of the cash. Now that we had our oflicers, we set out to establish our- selves in B. H. S. with the help of our advisors, who were: Mr. Colangelo, head advisor, Mrs. I.ibbey,Mrs. Galloway, Mr. Vowinkel, and Mr. Schnieber. Our first big money-making scheme was to sell candy at the home basketball games. We also took part in various school functions, including dances, plays, sports, and the Student Council. The following fall we had firmly planted our roots and were enioying our roles as Sopho- mores. Our new leaders were John Duimstra, to preside over us, Don Osmun, to assist him, Carol Brodka, to take the notes, and Bob Nolan, to keep the books. To guide us through the year we had Mr. Colangelo, head advisor once more, Mr. Vowinkel, Mrs. Libbey, Mrs. Sims, and Mr. Mchlale. The financial highlight of the year was the sale of the popular Belvidere High brace- lets, which did much to fatten our growing treasury. The dramatic highlight, however, was the presentation of the Broadway musical, Lucky in Love and our class was well represented in it. ln September, 1954, we became upperclassmenl Shirley Knerr came back to the helm for a return engagement with George Van Horn at her elbow. Carol Brodka and Bob Nolan each retumed to their posts of secretary and treasurer respectively. Also doing a repeat performance were our head advisor, Mr. Colangelo, and his able assistants, Mr. McHale, Mrs. Libbey, Miss McManus, and Mr. Colonius. We set to work early and increased our bank account by selling refreshments at the foot- ball games. This was also the year of a second wonderful musical, Seventeen , in which many of us participated. We were certainly holding up our end of the dramaticsl Of course, who could ever forget our beautiful Junior-Senior Prom? Months of hard paid off when the night for Moonlight and Roses finally arrived. Then came that red-letter day, our first school day as Shirley Knerr, once more our president, Don Osmun, still on hand to tally the funds was Bob Nolan. were Mr. Colangelo, head advisor, An important change former supervising and R Albert Harfung and Fred Von Scofen Did Mos! for B.

EIGHTH GRADE The Eighth Grade class activities this year have consisted of three skating parties and an assembly program. Our skating parties were held at the Villa Roller Rink at Broadway, N. J. On each oc- casion we met at the school and a few of the teachers and parents took us to the rink. On the way home we stopped to eat and talk about the wonderful time we had had. Our assembly program was a comedy play about Thanksgiving Day in an average Ameri- can home. We hope everyone enioyed seeing it as much as we enioyed presenting it. Academically we have also been quite busy this year. We have studied the wonders of the world of science, learned the everyday uses of arithmetic, stumbled through the essentials of English, and have studied many interesting things in social studies, including our state of New Jersey. Besides these we also have had daily classes of reading and spelling. Now that we have finished this year, we ore looking forward to next year when we will be freshmen in Belvidere High School. SEVENTH GRADE We, the Seventh Grade, being new in the high school building, found it an exciting ex- perience, At first the halls, periods, and bells had us a bit confused but before long we were quite used to it. We studied South America in Social Studies and took a trip in the spring connected with it. The seventh grade is the largest of the elementary grades, so our room is filled to ca- pacity. We have a forty-minute activity period three times a week, one of which is a club meet- ing. This club is called The Seventh Grade Activity Club. The officers were elected as fol- lows: President, Eddie Burd, Vice-President, Kathy Hawes, Treasurer, Ricky Buckenmeyer, Secre- tary, Carol Cross, and Program Chairman, Sharon Kauffman. Kathy Hawes represented us as Senator in the Student Council, Ricky Buckenmeyer was our class Representative the first semes- ter and Raymond Sipple the second semester. Eddie Burd was our newspaper man who wrote our column in the Scarlet Scoop, our school newspaper. He also served as our Clarion repre- sentative. This year at B. H. S. has been pleasant and worthwhile. We sincerely hope that all of our high school years will follow the same pattern.

In addition to our Marching Band, our brand new Dance Band entertains us upon many occasions. Each class has a chance to show its musical prowess in in- dividual closs choruses whose big event is the annual Christmas musicale. Last, but not least, are our spectacular Springtime Musical Comedies. Our director, Mr. Kenneth Raessler and musical combo provide the music. ln May, l955, the musical Seventeen was presented. Humor, peppy dancing and all types of songs earned for Seventeen a niche in the B. H. S. Hall of Fame. Lola shows the boys it's only polite to reciprocate.

SNOWBALL One of our big annual social events, the Snowball, proved a big success again this year. Dancing to the music of Ken Brader, Jr., and his orchestra, a good time was had by all. The Snowball is put on by the Student Council with everyone participating in the decorating. This year's theme was Silver Bells carried out with silver bells hanging over the entrance and orchestra. A huge Christmas tree in the center added to the effect to make this one of the most beautiful Snowballs B.H.S. has ever seen. . . . Couples dance in the snowy setting.

We had worked on the decorations since early December and we were extremely proud ofthe results. Our theme, Moonlight and Roses, was beau- tifully depicted by a moonlit garden surrounded by a rose-covered picket fence. In the center was an old-fashioned wishing well. The climax of the wonderful evening came with the crowning of the King and Queen of the Prom selected from the graduating class.

Always o big treat, the East Stroudsburg State Teachers' College Demonstration Team entertains us. Aviator Tony Echevarria and The Telltole Telescope are surrounded by the class of l955. A few days before graduation, that wonderful occasion of make-believe, known as Class Night arrives. The Class of '55 was making its farewell appearance to the stage, and whenever we think of these graduates, we will remember The Telltale Telescope. This was the theme of their Class Night. An aviator with a magic telescope re- vealed to the class their past and future. The evening was highlighted with comedy, dances and many original songs, performed by the entire class.

For the first time in three years Belvidere High fielded a winning eleven. We won four and lost three, two of ou' losses being at the hands of State Championship teamz.. In his second year as head coach, Dominick Colangelo pro- vided the necessary training and conditioning that proved the team successful. Though not an outstanding season, we felt that this year's team was a credit to Belvidere. High. Sparked by many seniors, we are certain their loss will be felt next year.

Coach Mark goes over final instructions before an important game. 72 Under the helm of our new coach, Andrew Mark, Bel- videre started oft the season with what was considered a fair-to-average team. Things held true in the first four games as we won only one. Then the team suddenly caught fire, and as the season ended, Belvidere wound up with a l4-5 record -the finest in Warren County. For the first time, Belvidere went into the New Jersey State Tourna- ments. We walked away with Group One, Section One honors, but were finally defeated by North Arlington at Seton Hall in the semi-finals. Even though the team lost, we considered it an honor to play there and now that wehave had tournament experience, we feel sure that our future teams will meet with success.
