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

V' 1 S Drawing in the Grades 3 Prominent among the several forms of expression in educational develop- ment, is drawing. Notwithstanding the fact that this form of development highly important from the artistic and constructive point of view, yet it is one of the branches of study most often wholly neglected, or is handled in such a lifeless and perfunctory way as to make it of little practical or psychological value. Although the schools of Beloit have had drawing as a regular feature of their course of study for many years, yet little enthusiasm was manifested in this branch until about two years ago. A special effort was made at that time throughout the various grades to create a greater enthusiasm in this direction, and the results of this effort were a very noticeable advancement in the subject and the election by the school board in June, 1901, of Mis.. Viola McNutt as special supervisor of drawing for the ensuing year. Miss McNutt, whose natural taste and whose training amply fitted her for the position, took up the work earnestly and systematically, and under her careful supervision the pupils, during the past year, have made wonderful progress. Crayon work was first begun in all the grades and mass drawing was taken up. Almost from the beginning the pupils were taught to draw from the ob- ject and not from a copy. The development was from the single object to ob- jects in groups. Color work and silhouette work were begun later in the year in several of the grades, and pen and ink sketching was done by the Seventh and Eighth grades. A number of the pupils in these grades dei iped a sur- prising aptitude for outdoor sketching, sketching of objects and 1 caricature work. The cuts given in another place in the Annual are taken from p' itographed copies of original sketches made by pupils in the various grades. NWN, Lx .
