It is a position that entails much work and worry, both by day and by night. In it a man may become a mere grind, a slave, a machine. When the Beloit High School opened this fall, a new principal greeted us. J. L. Mickey, of Larned Kansas, became our new head, and if the school board of Beloit never did another wise thing, they deserve re-election for securing this man Mickey for the Beloit schools. This man Mickey impressed us on Hrst sight by his earnestness and fairness. He early let us lqiow that Seniors were human be- ings and not wild beasts. This man Mickey became manager of the track and football teams. An old athlete himself, he realized the utter lifelessness of a school without athletics, and knew the estimation in which it is held in others places. He successfully managed both teams and was throughout, the friend of every boy, not only on the teams but in school. This man Mickey made the Insurgent possible. His co-opera- tion and encouragement of those in charge had much to do with the success with which the annual has met. This man Mickey made the class play, The Private Secretary, possible. His ability as an actor himself allowed him to put his whole soul into the matter, and above all, he insisted that the Senior class should have the play they wanted, and they got it. To this man then, not only the Senior class, but the whole school owes much. The class of 1911, upon leaving the Beloit High School, wishes deserved success and prosperity to their principal, counselor, but above all, their friend, john L. Mickey. , - .-,. 9 ,..

H. '11 OR a year and a day do high school students bask in the glow of the beloved Faculty's wisdom and rest serenely under the sway of its gentle hand. They grow from smart Freshmen to august Seniors under its kind, liifigmi-715155 unerring guidance as the vessel rises on the potter's wheel. From the faculty mechanism of the high school are turned out diplomats and artisans to be, upon flowery beds of ease and with garlands of praise and sunilowers. Under the tender, easy rule of the faculty are formed many manly and womanly characters that savor the entire community, fblessed be thegfacultyj but great is the chagrin of its members when they find one of these noble students deviating from the narrow way of conservatively adhering to text books, during school hours, and wandering into the for- bidden realms of dreamland. Few and far distanced are the rules of the faculty. Calm and peaceful is the countenance of each one of this group of our guiding stars, for their troubles are light and of short duration. There is a great diversity of character among the faculty mem- bers despite the fact that they are so much alike. The difference is in both the inherent and educated make-ups. There is Ger- man, Irish, English, Scotch and French blood in the faculty's veins. Some are college educated and some are otherwise educated. But each is a professional in his or her particular line. Some have more than one special line, and some have string attachments. This string attachment is quite beyond the comprehension of the average high school mind. Mr. Mickey had one once, he still has it, he is married now. Why should a teacher attempt to flirt with anyone but a Freshie? Our teachers never do. 'None but Miss Moore and Miss Wilcox- son are so inclined. Miss Loomis and Miss Harlan are too old maidish to smile at any one. But the Misses Moore and Wilcoxson are sure to enjoy themselves. If their fun derived from attending faculty parties and taking auto spins with a gentleman friend is not sufficient, they sometimes pass as members of a show troupe. Mr. Loop and Mr. Swift are strikingly alike in many respects. we INSURGENT ' Each is able to raise the roof with his sonorous voice, but he never does. The same may be said of Mr. Gregory but it is best not to say it. Each of these three men in his own slow steady way can rush his classes through more work in a month than a battering ram could exert upon a stone wall in six weeks. Mr. Loop and Mr. Swift are seriously contemplating bald spots and their relation to skating rinks. - John L. Mickey. Authority on shortest line between two dis- tancesg but still he has missed his calling, he should have been a great singer. Lelia Z. Moore. Linguist, especially in the language of the flowers. We can not find her, for she is buried, in a book. Blanche Loomis. She loves the lovely love stories of the most lovable Germans. That is another old maidish trait. Myrtle Wilcoxson. Renowned in the search for Xerocrates, the acrolomnum of the Second Century. He was the first man to advertise for a wife. Maude L. Harlan. Expert at finding the way to a man's heart through his stomach or by any other method. A. R. Loop. He is fast becoming a part of science. Some day he will blossom into a full Hedged botanical specimen that deals with light as the angled spar, or gives forth myriads of electric sparks, or speaks of the countless geological strata of the under- world.

K. '11 Altogether now, Are we it? Well I should guess. Seniors '11 B. H. S. 'C LASS, did you say? Slightly! No classier class ever crossed the threshold of an institution of learning since 1 old Elihu First founded that home for the feeble-minded, Yale. The Seniors of 'll could give pointers to this year's Harvard output and you can stow that in your meerchaum whoever you are. The B. H. S. was a mere maudlin aggregation of unorganized nynkompoops when we entered it. It will be worse now that we have gone. We penetrated that estab- lishment and illuminated each remote corner like a ray of sunshine piercing the black walls and lighting the obscure darkness of some old what-you-may-call-it, revealing each little grain of dust with our beams. Now and again we were called upon to decide some weighty problem concerning the politics and best interests of this knowledge-factoryg and anon, I think it was anon, we settled it to the advantage of all concerned. The rules were strictg we took a holiday. The grounds were unadomedg we painted each separate square of the cement walk with the initials of our classmates. Our class furnished three fourths of the football team, four fifths of the basket ball, five sixths of the debaters and twelve ninths of the base ball squad. Oh no! we were not the whole cheese. We were the smell thrown in. Q In the first place we simply couldn't help it. It was in us and it was bound to ooze out, like the noise of a small boy. Look at our composition, study our make-up, surely the most remarkable combination that ever harassed the tortured soul of a nerve-ridden facultyg ten Irish, nine Germans, three English, two Dutch, two French, one Welshman, one Scot, one Pole, one Swede and two mongrels who come in handy as errand boys. Think of it! Thirty two free-born Americans and line students all 'of them, if the teachers would only realize it. This class didn't spring up all at once. Not a bit of it. It takes time to form an aggregation like ours. Rome was not built in a I . CLASS CHRONICLES day. Away back in the dim, forgotten eras which preceded the present bright dawn, about the year 1898, I believe, little Hazel Mead and Davie Sorgatz, hand-in-hand fpresumablyl entered that mysterious edifice which the big brothers knew as school. Do not smile. It was a small beginning to be sureg but, as Vergil says, a little flea makes a deuce of an itch sometimes. About the same time, Fred Williams and Noel Keys, realizing the advantage of an education, enrolled in the Field building, while Wilbur Walls and Elizabeth Koch had iust taken it upon themselves to enliven the First Ward with their presence. It was this fall also that Francis Daily, Clara Bollman and Frank Finnigan at St. John's, began to learn what a troublesome combination the dog and the ralnmay be: especially when, as the book expressly states the dog sees the rat. To be sure these were not alone in their troubles fthe pupils we mean, not the rat, but the also-rams are of no consequence to this chronicle. Needless to say, the undertaking flourished and for some years this class was one of the most absorbing interests of the towng we can remember that much. For eight years we were sorted and chosen until in the Freshman class, when the different bands were united, anyone could see that this class had a great future. To be sure we were not always distinguished by our scholarship. No doubt the textbooks were to blameg and then, the first few months were pretty well occupied in finding out where the next recitation occured, don't you know. Even our veteran stoicism and intrepid assurance were not always equal to an encounter with the strenuous Mr. Downs when found wandering helplessly about the hallsg and our unfathomed knowledge did not always measure up to the requirements of the redoubtable Miss Battey. Certain base defamers can even be found to testify to seeing whole ranks of Freshmen going into a state of nervous collapse when called upon by Miss Kreamer. But calumnies of this sort well merit the oblivion into which they have fallen. Requiescant in pace by all means. ' In spite of these obstacles however, the lime-light which now beats so bright about us was already beginning to turn our way. Our fame got abroad and pupils came from far and near to swell our ranks. The Baker kid heard of us and came all the way from Asherville to join us. The Conroys moved in from Ionia that their 'UC INSURGENT daughter might have the advantage of our society. It was this spring that the Freshman boys took the April Fool holiday which so stirred the wrath of the dignified T. P. Shortly afterward we elected class officers and held the usual class picnic where we dis- tinguished ourselves by tossing the teacher in a blanket, to the disgust of Prof. Alexander. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, by a special dispensa- tion of Providence aided and abetted by the school-board, Miss Kreamer was succeeded by Miss Lelia Z. Moore who has acted in the role of guardian angel for us ever since. Under her leadership we brought Caesar safely through the Gallic warsg which were, however, not half so exciting as the more realistic contests of our Ancient History class under the late esteemed Supt. Hall. During this term we were also treated to an imported novelty in the per- son of Mr. Roy A. Brown, Esq., who was, to say the least, much addicted to girls, curls and candy, not to mention his deportment note book. May day saw the Sophomore girls tastefully dressed in the class colors of blue and white, while the boys appeared becomingly arrayed in overalls and white sox., ' The junior year found thirty-four faithful candidates of the sixty- iive who had enrolled two years before. The speakers in chapel were now more positive than ever that eternal glory awaited those of us who held out. It appeared that they had just come from the office of certain large manufacturers who were on the lookout for some capable young men to assist them in the management of their concerns. The salary would not exceed S5000 per as a starter, but if the boy were a high school graduate, this would doubtless soon be remedied. Other speakers, it seemed, were intimately acquainted with various titled young millionaires who were on the still hunt for eligible brides. Only high school graduates of less than two hundred pounds fnet weight, need apply. We said nothing, but spent live minutes longer than usual that day in deciphering why the sporangium of Pteridophytes was nonadiathermanous or the other thing, and just what is wrong with Ego est. As spring drew near, however, even this exciting research began to pall. At best it seemed a roundabout and uncertain course to fame. We must find a shorter cut. The May-day sun, in conse- quence, shone forth upon a schoolground brightened and adorned by frequent liberal applications of red paint in the form of such in- L I P CLASS CHRONICLES scriptions as Juniors '10, Seniors '11, juniors ' 10, Seniors' ll, etc., etc. The effect was both striking and artistic, and revealed a pleasing originality and variety as to subject matter. But what was our reward? Did the faculty say thank you? Did they so much as offer to defray the expenses of the paint? Did they even,---but it is useless to procrastinate, they did not. The superintendent, encouraged by a hard-hearted school board ordered us, yes actually ordered us, to remove the decorations or name the artists. Think of it! Did we do it? Hardly. We knew our rights and we stood upon them. Not in vain had we read Patrick Henry. We would die first, we would insurge. And insurge we did for ten long days to the delight of LaFollette and the shades of the aforesaid Henry CTO quote Hoenshell we would learn him. . But now 'tis night. The distant owl, etc Long since has A.P. found a troubled rest. The worthy school board is wrapped in slumber and sundry bedclothes. Then hark! a bell is heard. What means that ghostly radiance now Which dimly lights the school house walks And makes the darkness seem the darker still? ,What mean those forms that restless flit With sound of chisel and the splash Of hose? Can they be human souls To whom the night has lent no rest P You bet they can. They are the junior boys striving with hose, prussic acid, chisels, brooms, knives, hatchets, steel-brushes and other means to efface, wash off, or otherwise erase or obliterate the inscriptions so proudly blazoned there. Meanwhile the bell tolls sadly on to warn the sleeping citizens of fair Liberty's demise. The Senior year started off with a whiz and incidenta!ly, a volley of class meetings. The school board after due consideration had deemed it advisable to provide additional courses in printing, man- ual training, domestic science and domestic art as safety valves for our pent-up energy. The plan took well. Type-lice were substi- tuted for insurrectionsg fritters and cinnamon balls took the place of great-souled Freedom, and all was content. The year has been a busy one for most of the Seniors. The lecture course was a decid- '56 INSURGENT ed success. The class pins which arrived in December are very attractive and have served admirably to distinguish us from the common herd of lower classmen. After a few more class meetings for which we are famous, it was decided to issue an annual and the editorial staff was elected. It has since been voted to have a play for commencement and The Private Secretary was the one selected. The mid-term examinations proved a walk-away for our so- phisticated intellects and all the Seniors came thru with flying col- ors. At this point we were joined by George Eresch and Ick Wilburn from the ranks of the Juniors who brought our full quota up to thirty-two, the second largest class ever graduated from the Beloit High School. - But in the words of the prophet, Enough's enough and too much is plenty. ,The time is drawing near when the class of 'll will separate and pass on to become the subject of jests by future class orators. Ten years from now, one of us will doubtless be President and others secretaries of the cabinet, though it is not unlikely that the majority of us will be occupying humbler positions, such as governor or United States Senator. Some of us will prob- ably be hanged, others married and still others in the penitentiary. But whatever we are and whatever our vocation, it is not too much to predict that we will always remember with pleasure the years of our sojourn in the B. H. S., our teachers and our classmates there, in spite of the cruel oppression and tyrannical treatment which has been ours, we have little doubt that the time spent here will rank in after years as one 'of the most enjoyable periods of our lives, so V .

'12 'fl N September, 1908, there came to the B. H. S. about sixty young men and women desirous of becoming N ,V Freshmen. Their distinction of being the greenest appearing bunch of Freshies ever in high school is chal- lenged only by the Freshmen of '07. As graduates of the eighth'grade they numbered thirty-nine. Twelve of them did not enter high school at all. During the vacation preceding their entrance into high school, one of their number was taken from their midst. ,Miss Mable Sanders was of a bright, cheery disposi- tion, loved and admired by all her class-mates. Her presence was sorely missed by every one during the following school term. The remainder of the Freshman class was composed of outsiders. At this point Margaret Stoner, Ben Hill, George Kirgis, Edward Thiessen, Ruth Thierolf, George Eresch, Lyle Scheck' and Lola Sloan were newly enrolled, all of which are now members of the 1910-'ll Junior class. After a few weeks of harrowing trials and tribulations, the Freshies learned that it was not for their best interests to whisper under the vigilant eye of Miss Moore, that it would not do to talk back to Prof. Downs, that Roy A. Brown ,proved to be very adept in wrestling, and that it was time to quit their foolishness when Miss Battey stomped her foot. Besides these discoveries they also learned what to do with their hands and feet and when and where the various classes recited. The most important incident during the Freshman year was the geology expedition to Solomon Rapids. On the trip homeward the hay rack was overturned and Prof. Brown did more than his share in restoring the girls to their upright positions. Anyway Curley was noted for his gallantry and attentions toward the fair sex. Brown also had a sweet tooth, and very frequently treated his girl understudies to chocolatesg but it was noticed that he never udivvied over any to the boys. As Freshmen they filled two positions on the champion girls' basket ball team in the persons of Ollie Wilburn and Esther Bel- knap, besides furnishing excellent second team material. On the JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY second team were such stars as June Ebey, Rebecca VanAtta, Sylvia Cline, Lois Williams and Mable Jones. However, this Fresh- man class did not cut any figure in other branches of athletics. Toward the end of the second term in the Freshman year, the death of Lloyd McKimpson was recorded. The following lines, written by Miss Lita Battey, in commemoration of Lloyd, are familiar to nearly every studentg but are worth repeating: Two weeks ago---and can it be, The boy stood here and talked to me? And now,---he's gone! and Oh, the woe, To know it always must be so. A manly strength that feared no storm, A heart the size to fit his formg A cheery smile that seemed to glow--- Alas, my boy, we'll miss you so! Our hearts are sad and all our fears That we have felt, are lost in tears. For he has passed away, and Oh! We'll miss him so! We'll miss him so! The Sophomore year found nearly the same crowd back. This year a new superintendent filled the High School with his presence. The Sophomores soon learned that it wouldn't do to assume an attitude under him, and also that it would not do to return his frown. They also bumped into Miss Loomis as English teacher, and found the going rather rough. At the end of the first term, Miss Wilcoxson arrived, and took up the history department left vacant by the late lamented Miss Rice who had a brief, but busy sojourn at the High School. Again the Angel of Death descended among their ranks and this time Miss Esther Belknap was borne away. This left a vacancy in the class that could be filled by no one. Esther was loved not only by her classmates, but also by everyone with whom she came in contact, and her death was mourned by all. At the end of the first term their beloved mathematics teacher Thomas P. Downs, decided that it was time for him to seek another vocation. His place was taken by Prof. Matthews, but at the end of the term the professor moved to Boston to further his musical education. 'UE INSURGENT In the spring a Sophomore picnic was held out south of town in a large, new barn. The Sophs were barred from dancing by their august chaperon, the English teacher. May day was a red letter day for the Sophomores as well as for other classes. Each class had its colors exhibited upon everything near the school building. However those decorations were not admired by every one. To at least one, these ornaments of class enthusiasm were particularly offensive and in opposition to his ideas of artistic taste. Accord- ingly, he desired them to be removed: but it is needless to say that his request was not complied with willingly, though they were removed. At the end of the Sophomore year it was discovered that a large number had fallen out of school, and others, although they still remained, had fallen by the wayside in one or more subjects. In September, 1910, the remnants of the former Sophomore class assembled at the old familiar building on the hill as Juniors, all thirsty for more knowledge and yearning. for the opportunity to display their long pent up wisdom. This time a special room was assigned to them in recognition of their work of the past two years. Only nineteen of the old Sophomores were welcomed as juniors. At this point Clara Polhemus, Alexander Marrs, Minnie Motes and Rose Heller joined them. At the beginning of the second term, it was found that George Eresch had acquired enough credits to entitle him to become a Senior. The class lost a very valuable member in Pete . Upon counting noses, it was found that only eleven of the thirty nine illustrious eighth grade graduates could be mustered within the junior inclosure. Again they found a new teacher awaiting them. Prof. John L. Mickey descended among them to 511 the vacancy in the mathe- matics department. Since his advent into the High School, he has become famous for his little red spelling book, and also his speeches on reasoning and accuracy . Miss Maude Harlan was the new teacher chosen to take charge of the Domestic Science and Art department. Along towards the end of the first term, the class was again called upon to mourn the death of another one of its members, Tom McCall. Although Tom was not a member of the class at the time of his death, yet he was counted as one of them. Asjuniors, this class furnished four girls for the basket ball teamg JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY J une Eby at first center, Rebecca VanAtta at second centerg Ollie Wilburn at guard and Sylvia Cline as substitute at center. During this year an incident occurred that was not at all expected. The president of the class, a staid, dignified, old-maidish person, was sent into the office during chapel exercises one morning. I At the close of this, the last term, the junior class numbers twenty three faithful students. They recognize the fact that this junior class is one of extraordinary brilliance and one of the best ever in High School, even though small in number, yet greater things will be expected of them in their Senior year. . 4 And now their Junior days too, are drawing to a close. A few more days, a few more recitations, and they will leave for their last vacation. For three long years they have run the race on the various courses of education. In the vernacular of base ball they are rounding the third base station, and are' racing at full speed towards home plate. One or two may become exhausted and drop out, but their ranks have already been depleted of the weaker ones and the majority of them are expected to race across the plate with high educational honors. Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither justice nor freedom can be permanently maintained. Garfield ti! Education is our only political safety. H. Mann' Ji' Education is A better safeguard of lib- erty than a standing army. ' Everett w A1 THE JUNIORS R. V. '12 Our purpose in this is simply to say How our members look and act each dayg So don't take offence for we're only in fun And we'll hand you all slams before we are done. First let us speak of some of the girls Two shy young maidens with pretty brown curls, Of course you can guess at once whom we mean, Why! its Mamie who giggles, and Minnie serene. Now we will praise two gallant young lads, Who are steady and studious and never have fads For our friend Alexander is surely a worker And if George is slow he's never a shirker. Next on the roll are two fair haired lasses, Whose jolly good nature no other surpassesg Our Rose is a German with good old Dutch smiles And Ruth's jocund laughter is heard miles and miles. June and Rebecca and our good captain Ollie We fear indulge in many a follyg Sure their hair is and their eyes are blue, And they're basket ball fiends of the deepest hue. Next on our list we find Lulu and Sadie Each of these girls is aperfect lady, For they are not fickle but very sedate And excellent grades are always their fate. Next are two boys who are witty and bright Who ne'er were known to stay out late at nightg Now surely you've guessed who these two must be, For its plain to be seen its Ralph Morris and Lee. Muriel and Margaret are algebra fanatics And have quite a time discussing quadraticsg But we only are jealous because they are smart And really admire them right down in our heart. A, ,WA - rs.- at avr- -Y W- ' Y THE JUNIORS T Ben is the boy whom the girls all adore, Try as you will you can't make him soreg For Lola confessed and her word's good as gold, But sh! don't tell for we don't want it told. Jerry's a favorite for he always is game And Sylvia adores him or else its his name. Now Tweed is his name and most all of us' feel There's a reason why to her this name does appeal. C1ara's a girl of the most graceful features And's a favorite pupil with all of the teachersg Anna is shy with a voice soft and low She noiselessly glides through the hall to and fro. Edwards a boy from the sunny old farm He's a terrible flirt but he means no harmg Last but not least is our good classmate Lyle Whose thoughts always are fixed on the style. When the roll is called there are twenty three voices Who answer present , and each one rejoices That he is a Junior and can sit in Room Three Where Miss Loomis's smiles are hearty and free. So here's to the class each one and to all May we take in the sweet and keep out the gallg And here's to the teachers who to us have been kind A more gracious faculty one scarcely could find.

In this way the coming of the class of 1913 in the fall of 1909 marked the com- mencement of a very great epoch in the annals of the Beloit High School. Fifty-one brilliant students, who had passed Grammar School examinations with surprising success, that year graced the west side of the assembly hall. The excellent work they did quickly won for them the favor CPD of the faculty. They also gave a great deal ofimaterial to athletics, and in these ways they soon became popular with all. Some people made the awful mistake of calling us green but if we did possess an emerald tinge it soon wore off, and we followed the call of the gong far better than did our Senior schoolmates. . In due time, we, or the majority of us, became Sophomores. We have been a lively bunch as becomes Sophs. We are noted in the Beloit High School for worthiness of conduct, beauty, foot- ball, basketball and track team stars. Now the members of this class are not bookworms but they in- tend to leave behind them an example for their struggling success- ors to follow, that they may know the ways of the wise and be constrained to walk therein. There is nothing more to be esteemed than a manly character. I like a person who knows his own mind and sticks to itg who sees at once what is to be done in given circumstances and does it. Hazlilf IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllIIlllI'IIIIllIIlIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII I SOPHOMORE PROPHECY K, N the year 1925 I made a Hying trip to the city of Beloit. It was only by mistake that I alighted thereg my aero- leiifificqv plane being punctured by the flag pole on the Mercer CQ, Williams Cachoo Factory. Upon investigation I YQZ5? '- found that my machine was so badly damaged that I would have to await repairs from New York. I found Merc and Spiv to be just as good entertainers as they had been in the old days of High School. Merc took me out home for dinner. Of course I was not much surprised to find another old classmate, Grace presiding over the household. Naturally the dinner conversation drifted toward school days. It seemed as though very few of the ol'd forty-three had strayed very faraway from their native land. Eva Bundy, however, was studying music in a German conservatory at Berlin, Alta Reeve had never given up basket ball and was at that time a rising mem- ber on the state team. Very much to my surprise I learned that Grace Holbrook and Fern Bibler had both made a hit on the stage and were at that time travelling with Little's Wild West Animal Show. I must tell you of some of the other old Sophs. Earl Willmeth Merc told me, was giving lessons in voice culture and enioying a very prosperous business. During the evening Mr. and Mrs. John Cavanaugh fMrs. Cavanaugh was no other than my old school- mate Mable jonesl dropped. in having heard of my untimely arrival in town. john was at the time the teacher of Geometry in B. H. S. They were on their way to a Teachers' Association and so left after extracting a promise that I would visit the High School before my departure. Mrs. Mercer told me after they left that john married Mable simlpy because she had so much sympathy for the subject of his heart. Ringling Brothers' Circus was to show in the city on the following day. Spiv and I went to the performance. I be- lieve the greatest surprise I had on my visit I encountered there, Sylvia Plake was taking the position of the fat woman in a side show! Tom Conroy was also employed by the company, he was the acrobat who performed stunts on wires. As we rounded Fifth Street and Hersey Avenue, on our return we came face to face with a big red automobile and seated therein were Pug Sheahon 'GE INSURGENT and his old steady Tot. Pug had made his mark in the world by becoming a star player on the Plum Creek Base Ball Team. There were rumors that he was boasting that next month he would be old enough to take unto himself a wife. He insisted that we take a spin around town in his car. Some of the signs I saw displayed surprised and even amused me. In what was known as Beauty Block were displayed four plac- ards in gaudy colors. The first one bore, Madame Ewing, Hair Dying a Specialtyg the second one, Reid Houghton, High Grade Manicuring Done Cheaply . The next one really was more surpris- ing than either the first or second had been. It boasted, Mesdame Swartz and Benham, Famous Fat Reducers . The girls had be- come living testimonials of their sign. just as we rounded the corner a great gust of wind approachedg at the same moment Bessy Benham stepped out of the building and was immediately carried away. The fourth sign displayed Ethol McKeeman's old talent, Making a complexion. In a more busy section of town Charles Byrd was publishing The Daily Gimlet a very newsy sheet gMyrtle Tarvin, I was told, was employed as Society Editor for this establishmentg Blanche Armington was setting type and Mary McKellips was the religious editor. About three blocks East of the Gimlet Ollice, Lloyd May- nard held forth as a tonsorial artist. It did not surprise me greatly to iind that Lloyd had taken Georgia Rowe as his wedded wife Cyou know how thick they used to be in Sophomore daysj We dined at the Walker Cousins' Hotel. Carl was out of town during my sojourn in Beloit but I had a long talk with Olin. Here, somewhat to my astonishment, I found two old Sophs. Edna Swartz and Cecelia Finnigan were putting their knowledge of Do- mestic Science, gained in High School, into practical use. They were employed as chief dish and bottle washers at this hotel. Spiv thought of all the classmates I had not already seen and thought it best that we should go to L'Grande Theatre which was managed by Ward Shurtz and Lloyd Sheck. It is superliuous to tell you that Ward and Florence McCall had struck a match. But before I forget it let me tell you what we did see on the way to the theatre! As we passed Seventh and Mill Street, we ran on to Flossie Spatz, Lola Bozell and Lillie Wiser. Much to our con- stemation they were wearing the apparel of Salvation Army leaders. SOPI-IOMORE PROPHECY At the theatre we found Parthene jerrnark as pianist, Mrs. Evea Tweed-McDonald Cyou all know herj as soloist. Persis Crietz and Vera Dixon were two of the members of the High Class Orchestra which played there. The next morning I fulfilled my promise to john Cavanaugh and visited B. H. S. There I found Sherman Swift succeeding his father as janitorg Lawrence Gregory was also following the ex- ample set by his father, being employed as Superintendent of the Beloit Schools. I was told that his beloved wife Katherine Walsh- Gregory, however, did most of the managing. I found Nora Pat- ton still an industrious student in the High School. She had grown to use the Latin tongue so fluently that I did not attempt a conver- sation with her. There also I found another Soph: Monico Arreola was a prized member of ,the faculty. His chief occupation was tutoring in Spanish. . When I came into the assembly hall for chapel exercises I could not keep from saluting the carpet on the rostrumg it seemed to say, Men may' come and men may go but I stay on forever. I spent the greater part of the morning visiting the old haunts. Upon applying at the express oilice at noon I found that the neces- sary fixtures had arrived on the 11:59 Fast Express. That after- noon I spent in having my machine repaired and in the morning, having very important business ahead, I flew. Every person has two educations- ' one which he receives from others, and one, more important, which he gives himself.

It seems that this particular class was born to blush unseen and waste its sweet' ness on the desert air. Few there are whose blush is very readily seen when there is any cause to blush. When all seemed lost we were glad to welcome our former president Roscoe Laff who it is sad to say left us soon after he attained this office. However, we now have as good if not a better president, Shorty Lievan. He is one of those individuals whose resonant voice car- ries to the most remote corners of the assembly roomfB. H. S., at the numerous class meetings. From our earliest ages we were in- structed in the gentle art of using our vocal organs. Music it is said, hath charms to soothe the savage beast, but mighty few savage beasts have we soothed with the pitiful sounds which some are pleased to call Music. In the Fifth grade Lyman Dale Cook joined our ranks from Iowa. He greeted us with that gentle smile of his that would make the most savage beings become calm at once. Severance joined us. He came from Hutchinson. Of the old guard we have Puss Robinson who is small in stature but large in brain and oral capacityg and numerous feminine characters too numerous to mention. In the sixth grade we came upon a few stragglers left from the preceding class. These we took in and now they are some of our strongest characters. In the seventh and eighth grades we were made more seaworthy by Miss Araminta Carhill. She helped us to receive our diplomas and to cherish them more for having been made to work for them. And now gaze up- on us. As full fledged Freshmen who can defy us? In athletics we have rendered up some of the best. Shorty was a good end and Griz plays baseball. In class we are ---- but ask the teachers. In study we are very industrious. In conduct we rank Do we not deserve some praise for having gone so far? And yet we may go still farther, we may still hope to reach and even to gaze upon the flowery realms inhabited by our most notable superiors the Seniors. Can we not accomplish what others have accomplished ? Where others have trodg there may we tread also, and may we have a mighty step! g fha fi ..1,l . . ,,,,,, Nt ,,,, P x In fr Qu-nu.

'11 i fi ECOGNIZING the lack of opportunities for the cultiva- sa , . . ,P tion of the free and natural use of the English language, ,X X of clear and logical reasoning, and of self possession and at gf f : G: easy delivery, two years ago Superintendent Gregory 51435-s satisfied this need by establishing a series of literary programs to be given by the members of the high school. And perhaps the most universally popular event on the weekly program is the Friday afternoon rhetorical program, universally popular because everyone has to participate. When Mr. Gregory first presented his plan, he said that everyone must partici- pate in the rhetoricals unless he was physically unable, and could show a doctor's certificate to that effect. This plan seemed a good one, but when the certificates began to pour in, Mr. Gregory decided that he could diagnose a pupil's health better than a mere physician, and immediately pronounced all in perfect health. As a result, everyone was forced to take part in the rhetoricals, and although some were so bashful that their voices would blush when they used them, with a little practice they soon forgot their foolish fancies and would perform their parts with the composure of a Socrates. The Freshmen with their recitations and essays, the Sophomores with their essays and debates, and the Juniors with their debates and orations far surpassed all expectations with the production of their pens and the eloquence of their lips. In addition, musical numbers, more or less classical were given. Last September, the names of the students were taken as they came upon the school register, and divided into two societies, which eventually chose names for themselves as the Literati and Belles Lettres. The plan was to create a spirit of rivalry by rewarding the society which won the greater number of debates during the year, with a silver loving cup, bought by both societies. This division of the school has truly done a great good, in inspiring a new interest in this kind of work, and the results have been fru-itful. The cup was finally won by the Belles Lettres society, that side winning by a large majority. LITERARY SOCIETIES Each society drew up a constitution at the beginning of the year and elected officers for terms of one month, thus practically con- ducting the programs themselves. Among the additions to the programs this year were the Current Events number, by some student, in which local and public events of the week were reviewed, and the Criticism of the program by some member of the faculty. we . ff GQ, fl 7 -1 v ,2 ,. 4 if !

D. c. 'll LTHOUGH me Beloit High schooi has won laurels for Piss 1 itself with its basketball, football, and track teams annu- . Ai' 'qu ally, this is the first time in recent years that it has 214,392 competed with other schools along oratorical lines. About a year ago at a meeting of high school super- intendents and principals, it was decided to encourage the art of debating by dividing the state into districts, corresponding to the congressional districts,a representative of each of which was to com- pete at Lawrence for the State Championship. In order to deter- mine the strongest team within each district, the schools Wishing to debate were divided into groups of two's and three's. Debates were to be held at each of the schools of a group on the same even- ing between the affirmative team of that school and a visiting nega- tive team. At this meeting Supt. Gregory was recognized as a leading man in work of this kind by being elected director of the sixth district. ' In this district Beloit, Logan and Phillipsburg were placed in one group, Stockton and Hill City in another. At a try-out in which each debater worked his side of the question without reference to what his colleagues had prepared, the members of the team were determined and later divided as follows: Affirmative, Mary Wil- burn, Mayme Conroy, Noel Keys, Negative, Margaret Stoner, Claude Wilburn, john D. Cooke. The question for debate was, Resolved, That Nations should reduce their armaments to the minimum necessary for police duty. Material to be worked up was obtained through the State University, and information on the subject was received from Con- gressional records, current magazines, and pamphlets received from the World's peace societies, etc. The various phases of the quest- ion were discussed. On the evening of December sixteenth, our negative team debated at Logan with its affirmative team and lostg our affirmative team debated at home with Phillipsburg's and won the unanimous decision of the judges. In thecontest between Stockton and Hill City, held on the same evening, Hill City was successful. Later Logan and Hill City debated. Hill City won and debated with a seventh district team and was defeated..

S., '11 ,HE season of 1910 was a successful one for the Beloit High School. At the beginning of the year it looked like no team at all, the line being weak and the back- iield being slow. But after the games with the Old Stars and Jewell, the team gradually rounded into shape with but one setback, on November 5 at Smith Center, and reached its zenith when Stockton was defeated here the week before Thanksgiving in the hardest fought game of the season by a score of 5 to 0. Beloit was justly proud of the men who gave Beloit such good football and liberally supported the team in every way. The boys tried hard to win all the time, and to the leadership of Captain-Wil- burn and the hearty co-operation of Fred Williams who was field general, the success of the team throughout the season was largely due. Eight of this year's squad will graduate this spring, and next year's captain, Harold Williams, will have no easy task in assembling the eleven cogs of the machine which is to uphold the honor and reputation of the game that has made Beloit known over the state more than anything else in the past ten years. This year's record is as follows: . Beloit 14 Alumni 0 6 Jewell 0 ' 3 Concordia 0 12 Ionia 10 ' 3 Smith Center 20 ' 5 Stockton 0 35 Concordia 0 The players this year were: Ends: H.

'll , H 5 HE Girls Basketball Team of 1910-'11 was composed of girls from all but one class in the High School. The Sophomore class was represented by Tot Chubbic and Alta Reeve, the Junior class by Ollie Wi1burn,June Ebey and Rebecca VanAtta, and the Senior class by Leona White. The Freshman were too timid to enter into any of the contests although a certain girl did help out in practice several times and almost disabled one of the girls. We hope that their timidity will be overcome next year and they will furnish some good players for the team. The 1910-'ll team did not play as many games as previous teams because of a lack of enthusiasm at the beginning of the season. The only game played before Christmas was with Concordia, in which Beloit won. The team then was not the same as later however. After the Thanksgiving game there was no attention given to basket- ball until the first of February. Then our manager, Miss Harlan, called a meeting and suggested that the girls think about getting a coach. Everyone deemed Mrs. George Blood, the captain of the champion team of 1909-'10, the most competent to train our girls. Then the team began in earnest to play scientific basketball and prepare themselves for future games. ' The first game played after Christmas was with Belleville, which resulted in a glorious victory for Beloit: The score was thirty-one to one. The victory was a joyful surprise and gave the girls con- fidence in themselves and in each other Calmost too much howeverj. When the teachers wentto Salina to attend the District Teachers' Association the basketball girls accompanied them as far as Abilene and from there took the Plug to Chapman. The team almost lost their manager in Abilene but after saving her from the clutches of a --------- man, arrived safe and sound in Chapman. In this game they were defeated and although it was a great disappointment to the team and to all Beloit yet it was not without its good effects. It destroyed that superfluous amount of self-confidence. That night the girls took the ten o'clock train from Chapman to Salina where they played two games, one with the GIRLS' BASKETBALL 'Ge INSURGENT Salina High School and one with the Kansas Wesleyan. In these games they were victorious. They arrived home on Saturday evening and have not played basketball since. The financial standing was insufficient to send them to Lawrence and the girls seemed to lose their interest in the game. But we hope that there will be a good, strong team next year and fully be- lieve that there is sufficient material for another champion team. 'N t .

S., '11 HE revival of track work in the Beloit High School is egg: still young, and as yet, there has been little done in that ' line that is really worthy of notice. Several good men have been developed but there have not been enough stars at any one time to make up for the weakness in other events. The Beloit High School was represented at the fair last fall by a very good aggregation, and succeeded in winning more laurels than any other school in the county.

'll ' ,HE Beloit High School is uncommonly rich in school yells and songs, and this year many new yells were developed under the leadership of Ward Shurtz, oflicial cheer leader. The cheering at the games was more organized and effective than ever before. Miss Harlan succeeded in organizing a rooters' club of girls which soon made up the deficiency in songs that had existed heretofore. ' Strawberry short cake, gooseberry pie! V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! Are we right? I should guess! Beloit High School, B. H. S. Back in the days when the girls' basket ball team was the state champion the above yell was originated and used by the girl rooters. Later it was used by nearly all of the teams. One October day last fall, Beloit and Jewell were lighting on the gridiron. Beloit had just made a costly error and was at bay, with the ball six yards from her own goal line. The Beloit line yielded like paper for two yards and the Jewell captain had just called on his men for a touchdown. On the side line a new yell was born: ' Hold that line! Hold that line! Beloit High School, Hold that line! I Beloit held. When Jewell left the Held, the wailing cry arose, M-mamma, m-mamma, Jewell wants their m-mamma. Another one characteristic of the boys was the following: ' Rick-a-chick-a chess, Rick-a-ckick-a chess, Anheuser, Budweiser, - B. H. S. Two weeks after the conflict with Jewell, Ionia played here and before the end of the first half, with a team outweighing Beloit twenty pounds to the man, the score was 10 to 6 and the teams HIGH SCHOOL YELLS AND SONGS were fighting in the mid-field. All of the third quarter the score remained the same. Then the rooters began the song: Rah, rah, Beloit, Beloit must win, Fight on to victory, Never give in. You do your best, boys, We'll do the rest, boys, Fight on to victory. Thirty seconds before time was called H. Williams scored the touchdown that won the game. q A song that is used with great eB'ect indoors is the wail . It is sung in a minor key and is: ' B-E-L-O-I-T. A 4 The cadence rises, culminating in a long drawn out T at the end. But even Beloit sometimes meets with defeat. One time coming home from Concordia after a track meet the following was given at the different, towns: Rip Van Winkle had a bow-legged pup, He always got licked but he never gave up. Did we get beat? Well, yes. But one yell is the yell of yells. It originated in the dim long ago, so far ago, that man reckons not the years since it began to exist. It is the yell of the challenge, the yell of the battle, the song of victory, the solace of defeat. May it live long in the Beloit High School! May it ever be held in reverence and be given with all lung power: Razzle! Dazzle! Zip, Boom, Bah! B. H. S. Rah, Rah, Rah! B-E-L-O-I-T! Beloit.

'11 A woman bossed the job. She stood with ears erect. His voice got stuck in his jaws. Baucis hastened to set the table with tucked-up skirts. Acestes runs to welcome them, roughly clad in javelins. The angry women tear the oxen to pieces with their horns. Tears overflew his face and his voice slipped from his jaws. Standing thus, the raging Aeneas slung his eyes around Troy. Having said such things with his mouth, Aeneas turned on the tears. The dying queen revolved three times upon her couch with wan- dering eyes. Turning, he gleamed from his beautiful neck and smelled divinely from his perfumed top. THE SUBSTITUTE E. S. '11 Wait, wait, wait, On the cold, gray lines wait weg And each one asks the other, Will they ever call on me? O well for the husky half back, As he hurls himself into play O well for the mighty captain, As he rallies his team at bay. And the lighting team moves onward To the goal, like waves from the sea, But O, for the beck of the captain's hand Giving again the signal for me. Wait, wait, wait, On the cold gray lines wait we, But the fleeting chance of a day that is dead, Will never come back to me. REMEMBRANCES Elms I remember, I remember, Where first I went to school, My mother said she sent me there, To learn the golden rule. The little pine desk where I cut My trademark with a knife, And the lecture I received for it I'll cherish all my life. I remember, I remember, The teachers stern and tall, But there was one, an Irishman, The sternest of them all. He used to scare me half to death, But then that wasn't all, He'd talk till-he was out of breath, Then slam me 'gainst the wall. I remember, I remember, The back seat where I sat, When first I entered High School, That seat is standing yet. My spirits flew in feathers then fThey'f1y much lighter nowl Ten-pins and pool, could hardly cool My aching for a row. I THE SENIORg It seems in the book that there's sompin' a lackin' Some names is left out that had ought to been ing And if they speak up them as has done the backin' I'm sure none would think it could be a great sin. They seem to forget all the patchin' and sewin' The plannin' and rustlin' and hustlin' I lowg They don't count the hickrys that stopped in the growin' To make that there youngster just what he is now. And they disremember the long nights of nussin,' The care and the effort to keep him aliveg The book-bills and shoe-bills that Dad kept disbursin' While workin' the busiest bee in the hive. And then all the trainin' to teach table mannersg To say , please and thank you, and make his best bow. But the work paid big dividinds we are all a thinkin' When we see that there youngster just what he is HOW. JJ' SONG OF THE SECTION HAND UEARSH Each morn I leave my pleasant couch, I take my dinner pail, And hie me to the section house While wintry winds do wail. It's Jim ahead and cinter back, In fair and stormy weather, For trains may come and trains may go, But I go on forever.

In Feb- ruary, after a lengthy discussion, the class voted unan- 13 imously that the commencement exercises should take the form of a play. An executive committee was chosen with Noel Keys as chairman, and after careful consideration of a number of plays, The Private Secretary was selected as most likely to please. The parts were assigned and practice began the last of March. The piece is an English farce in three acts by Charles Hawtrey, which was rendered with striking success at the Emporia- State Normal last spring. The class was exceedingly fortunate in secur- ing for coach the services of T. Marion Crawford of Salina Wesleyan, a lecturer and dramatic artist of considerable note, who will spend the week preceding commencement in drilling the cast for the pro- duction. The players have applied themselves diligently to the mastery of their parts and have done all in their power to justify the faculty in their selection. The ten leading roles are as follows: ROBT.

Now the May Day came as it usually comes, that is to say once a year. Some of the present classy strolled out on that evening with the only available paint, since de- scribed as light blue, and dark white, and spread it on everything available, especially the Fullerton fence. Thus the Senior colors were afterwards adopted by the class, and until this day the colors which were contained in two cans of stolen paint remain the colors of the Senior class.

But he debated on and on, he could pile up the facts until the Congress- ional Record and Rules would look small and then lose the discussion. I Mr. Morris got to be the real easy money in the debate line. Finally his opponents were willing to debate against him with gags in their mouths and stay down town while he was giving his arguments. All of which troubled Mr. Morris exceedingly. At length a great light dawned. He used slang and shocked the Faculty. Accompanied by his stock of language he could not break into the se- lect company of winning debaters with a jimmy and an axe.
