At that time the classes theri known as the 5-B and 5-A were joined into the Fifth grade. One Fifth grade was taught in the Field school and one in the Rodgers building. In the Seventh year these two grades were joined at the Rodgers building. From the Seventh grade the majority of the present Freshman class entered the Eighth grade. Here 15 boys and 8 girls stopped school, while a good many were added to our number. There were 13 boys and 28 girls who graduated from the Eighth grade, and of this number 13 boys and 22 girls entered the High School. Since entering the High School many have been added to those who came from the Eighth grade. The enrollment for the beginning of the Freshman year was 60. At the close of this year we have 48 belonging, showing that 12 have stopped during their Freshman year. Five out of the 12 who stopped were those who graduated from the Eighth grade. Of the number who are now in the Freshman class 20 live outside of the city. Out of the 20, 5 hare always at- tended school in Beloit, and 3 more attended last year. Our class nas always been noted for the good conduct and good work of its members. Our class contains several of the best athletes and a great number of the best students in the school. We have covered all the work required and are now ready to enter the Sophomore class with a shining record. Whenever a really good class is wanted let your selection be the Freshman class of B. H. S. in 1901-2. MITCHELL COUNTY COURT HOUSE

as successful as was this class in its class fights. Some way or other, even if they met with temporary defeat, they always came out ahead, with their colors proudly floating beside the Seniors, who were their allies. Toward the close of the year the school saw that the class held several geniusesg some talented in singing and sketching and others in elocution. It is sufficient to say, that with a few allowances, the entering class of 1900 had progressed rapidly through their two years' work. The class all hoped when they left school for vacation that their success in the future would be as good. So they are pro- moted from the second year to the Junior year.
