While the many balloonists of Beloit High School were making their various trips up into the unexplored regions of the stratosphere to gain much valuable information for the science of B. H. S., there was a group of students busily working in room 109. This was the journalism class who, under the efficient leadership of Miss Gertrude Kirtland issued the bi-monthly bulletin, The B. H. S. Life, which gave reports of every stratosphere flight that was made. The journalism class revived the school paper which had been absent from Beloit High for one year. Because of the lack of sufficient funds, the paper was reduced to four columns instead of the five column paper which had been printed previously. The B. H. S. Life is a member of The National Scholastic Press Association and is privileged to use their crest on the editorial page. The students who served as editors of the B. H. S. Life were: Maxine Lagle, Bill Pfautz, Dorothy McClanahan, Frances Cole, Claude Baker, and Mary Beryl Miller. As the last semester was drawing to a close, the journalism room was always the scene of uproar. Two girls sat at a long table in the corner amid paste pots and pictures. Another student pounded the poor model T typewriter with such fervor and fierceness that there was danger of the roof coming down on a great many unsuspecting heads. A harrassed looking lady whose hair was prematurely turning gray, was sitting at the teacher’s desk trying to answer fourteen different questions which were being asked by fourteen students. Two other people were sitting at desks trying very hard to come in contact with an idea. They scribbled, chewed their pencils, and all but tore their hair; and still that particular idea which would have fitted the situation wonderfully evaded them. No, this was not an institution for the mentally unbalanced. It was only the journalism class preparing the senior year book, The Trojan, for the publishers. The Trojan carried all the important data gained in the whole year’s flight. Besides studying the different styles and ethics of good newswriting, the class took up creative writing the last semester. Each step of story creating was studied and practiced. Each member of the class wrote different types of stories and stories for readers of all ages. The journalism class has earnestly tried to uphold the ideas of good newspaper and literary writing.
