OKe TROJAN RIFTS IN THE CLOUDS FLIPPANCY MODERN CHIVALRY What care I, tonight? I’ll go my way, I’m free. You go the earth ways or air ways, What care I ? It’s little it matters to me. 0 would that youths today like olden knights Still rode their steeds to battles fierce To win a lady’s hand and overcome his plights And bravely faced a sword that might him pierce In arm, or thigh, or maybe bleeding heart. He rescued frightened maidens so distressed; What care I, tonight? I won’t be there to see If you win your fight or lose. What care I? It’s little it matters to me. Tonight, I'll cut the cords That held for years and years. You’ll hear no sigh with my goodbye; You’ll not find me in tears. And armor strongly built in every part Was worn on stalwart figure stately dressed. Hut carefree lads today in checkered suit Are driving ancient antiquated Fords To catch their favorite with just a toot, And masterpieces played on ukes in chords Are used instead of serenades of joy. Now cash not bravery endears a boy. —Maxine Lagle. What care I, tonight What you will do or be. I’ll tear my life from yours, And what care I ? It’s little it matters to me. Tonight, I see you go. Tomorrow brings a tear, And with a sniff, I wonder if We’ll meet again next year. EVOLUTION One day when I was very young In fact I was a freshman I dreamed I was a stately man Like all those Seniors in command. And as I leave this worthy school —Frances Cole. Where I have learned the golden rule And worked with head and hand and tool I find that I am still a fool. —Howard DeShazo and Harold Mercer.

THE PILOTS —Howard DeShazo The Hi-Y is an upward step of which eleven seniors have taken advantage in the preparation for that long, uncertain flight into that ethereal region, generally known as the stratosphere, upon which about sixty students will embark at the end of the senior year. The wind is rising —the ropes are taut—the time is drawing near. The balloon is practically ready and the gondola almost completed. The final preparations are being made. It has taken twelve years to make ready for this flight. Those twelve years have been spent in order to make this flight a success. The Hi-Y is one step that is designed to fill in a wide gap between all the others. In order to be able to do this more fully, it has adopted a policy known as its purpose. It is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Mr. P. V. Imes has sponsored the organization during the year 1933-34. The cabinet officers who assisted him and those elected for the next year are: 1933-34 1934-35 President ......Bill Pfautz Billy Birch Vice-Pres........Eugene Tice Paul Hannah Secretary ....

The first Hi-Y club in Beloit High School was organized in 1920 bv Principal F. L. Owen. The club started out with seventeen members. The small membership didn’t stop them. That first year, through the co-operation of every member, the club had two banquets and held several debates, extemporaneous speeches, and talks on vocational guidance. This year the club had forty members. This was not the largest membership the club has ever had, but it has been one of the most successful years, as far as accomplishments are concerned. The organization took part in many outside activities. After school on the evening of September 18, the club had the annual watermelon feed for the boys of the school. The forty-nine boys who attended somehow consumed more than six hundred pounds of various varieties of the large, green fruit. A Hi-Y district conference was held at Sean-dia October 4. Beloit was represented there by Harlan Rees, Homer Spain, Bill Pfautz, Keith Keeley, Harrison Honderick, Billy Birch, Paul Hannah, Myrle Fairchild, Don Emmot, George Fittell, and Mr. Imes. Junction City held the state Hi-Y conference on November 24-25. Harlan Rees, Homer Spain, Bill Pfautz, Keith Keeley, Harrison Honderick, Billy Birch, Paul Hannah, Myrle Fairchild, Don Emmot. George Fittell, and' Mr. Imes represented Beloit. The big event of the year—the Hi-Y Father and Son Party—was held December 12 in the high school gymnasium. The Program Committee offered the club a variety of programs this vear.
