STANDING ARE: Roger Giddings, vice-president, Mr. Lane, and Mr. Harrison. C ass Histor T957--a year that will be fondly remembered by the sevent -fifth graduating class of Beloit High School. Years from now, these alumni will be recalling the fun--and work--of producing a class play, and the never-to-be forgotten feeling of nervous excitement on open- ing night the moment we know the audience likes it---the wonderful class parties--the hopes of winning a prize as a clever float is built--the responsibility of leadership when the goal of being seniors is reached--the rousing class discussions--the cramming for exams--games played our best, win or lose--homecomings--the realization, as each annual event passed so quickl YI that we will not be part of it again. And at last, the solemn occasion of graduation exercises -- h I 0 o 0 0 o t e ast farewell to a way of life we experienced for four years in the now familiar halls of Troy. 1957-fthe year of rock 'n' roll, of more world crisis, of drouth, and, for each senior, a f year o fu fillment.

The sophomore year was marked by selecting as officers Cathy Barber resident- Deanna McKinnie, vice-president, and Robert Tripp, secretary-treasurer. A classlslzating pdrty was en'oed tC cl. B ' I y a ourt an . lt was a year of greater particnlpation--a girl s basketball team was organized, bo s were playing on the varsity teams, ta ented musicians were emer in 9 9' Then, at fast, we were upper-classmen. We produced our first play, Seventeenth Summer. We ordered l ' d ' ' c ass rings, an gave a successful banquet for the seniors using the theme Toyland a fitting climax to a busy year.
