HAIIII - NIILTON HAER VELENTHOL ALMACK NELLIE DANIELS CENTRAL BUILDING THE BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL. American education, planted in the common school, has its elementary class in the modern high school. Of late the impor- tance of a good high school training is beginning to be realized by the American people as a whole. Not even a country school system is now considered complete without a good accredited high school in it. The object of a high school is virtually a pre- paratory object, and it may be preparatory in a number of ways: Firstly, if the student does not intend to get higher education, he is not, in this advanced age, prepared to decide what his vocation may be until he has had a high school training. Secondly, with a common school education only a man is not prepared suiii- ciently to meet the competition which he needs must come in con- tact with, since the rising generation does not stop with the grades Thirdly, the world demands men with well developed minds to do her work. Fourthly, a university training cannot be had without the former preparation offered by the high school. In planning the work ofthe Beloit High School each of these four ends is kept in view. Since the Beloit High School was founded, in 1881, it 'has gradually become noted as a high school can. In any line of work you may iind graduates of the Beloit High School, and it will be well to note that they all have made or are making good names for themselves as a result oi their high school training. Her ath- letes have made national records, her musicians have made note- worthy 1'eputations. She has reason to be proud of her alumni, and there is not one member of her alumni who does not honor the Beloit High School. The motto of the Beloit High School is 'f1n1IIiSecUnd11s. Her ambition is to send out men and women who will be able to compete with graduates from any other high school. W. J. KEYS, VICE PRESIDENT. ' H. BAER A. B. COTTON. E. E. BREWVER, PRESIDENT. J. W. MFCALL, SECRETARY. A. E. JORDAN TI-IE BOARD OF EDUCATION. The Board of Education of the city of Beloit, portraits of whose several members appear on the opposite page, is at present composed entirely of representative business men of the city. V Messrs. Baer, McCall and Keys are the presidents of the New York Store Mercantile Company, the McCall Mercantile Company and the Keys Clothing Company, respectively, all being promi- nent business firms of Beloit. Our police judge, A. B. Cotton, is a civil war veteran and past commander of G. A. R. Post, N o. 147, and formerly a prosperous farmer and liveryman of the county. He was elected mayor of Beloit in 1899, and filled that office with credit. The president of the board, Dr. E. E. Brewer, has practiced his profession successfully in this city for the past fourteen years, and has acquired extensive interests in various county enter- prises. Dr. Brewer and Mr. Jordan taught school in this county for several years and both served as members of the county board of examiners. All of the members of the present board are old settlers except the youngest member, Mr. Jordan, who, however, was born in Mitchell county and is at present a practicing attorney at law in our city. The record of this board is certainly worthy of comment. The efficient management of the schools during the years 1905-06 is evidence of their work. In the last year the city has been saved 2114270 by the refunding of certain of its school bo11ds, whereby a reduction of interest on the same from 6 per cent-. to 434 per cent. was saved. Over 1151500 of school bonds have been paid off, thereby reducing t-he school bond indebtedness to its lowest point in years and placing the city's public schools in the best condition financially in their history. Besides reducing the bonds, several substantial and permanent improvement-s have been made, and by a timely levy sufficient funds are now ill the treasury to completely re-roof the central building and make other improvement-s now in contemplation. De Omnibus Rebus et Quibusdam Allis Dear reader, do you wish to know What in this book resides ? There-'s a little bit of everything, And something more besides. Department I . . THE FACULTY.

HISTORY. Contrary to what many people are inclined to think there is, perhaps, no one study that will be more effective in giving a per- son a thorough, comprehensive and just View of men and of the world than will a proper and thorough study of history. President Eliot, of Harvard Uni- versity, has well said: Ulf the humanity or liberality of a study depends upon its power to en- large the intellectual and moral interests of the student, quicken his sympathies, impel him to the side of truth and virtue, and make him loathe falsehood and vice, no study can be more hu- mane and liberal than history. Many. people are inclined to look upon the study of history simply from ,the standpoint of chro- nology. This is a very narrow J. o. HALL, and unjust view, for historical facts by themselves are not his- tory. They must be elaborated and combined 3 'they must be organized, that is, be brought to- gether and integrated with reference to their relations. Since his- tory is m an-picturing, as geography is earth-picturing, the study of history serves as a proper exercise of the powers of representa- tiong but it does more than this-it serves a valuable discipline of the thinking facultiesg and still further-the historical knowl- edge of the student becomes his moral knowledge. Unlike the method in the so-called exact sciences the method of forming judg- ments in history is very similar to the method employed in the problems of practical life. In the transaction of human business we accumulate data, weigh the force of opposing evidence, recon- SUPERINTENDENT OF' CITY SCHOOLS. DEPARTMENT OF' HISTORY. cile contradictory views, and at last reach probable conclusions. This is true of the merchant, the manufacturer, the farmer, and others. This same method is used in forming historical conclu- sions, and helps make history one of the most practical of school studies. It has been said that the most important gift of acitizen in such a profession as politics, or law, or medicine, or teaching, or war, is ability in the selection of the premises from which the solution of the various problems of life are to be extracted, and that soundness of judgment and clearness of perception in collect- ing and arranging these premises is a large part of each m an's or wornan's workin the world. The proper study of history gives practice and insight into the solution of these problems and de- velopes this ability. As a knowledge of facts is necessary before a proper interpretation can be given to those facts, the earlier years of historical study are given almost exclusively to the ac- quisition of facts. By the time a student reaches the high school he should be able to do some work in interpreting facts, and dur- ing the high school course much practice should be given in this kind of work. The American Historical Association has recommended that the course of study in history in high schools be: First year, Ancient history to 800 A. D.g second year, mediaeval and modern European history, third year, English history, fourth year, American history. This plan has been accepted by nearly' all the colleges and universities in the country, and is strongly recom- mended by the University of Kansas. At present the Beloit High School oiiers two years of this work. The work in ancient history is given in the Sophomore year and the American history in the Senior year. So far as is practicable under existing conditions the plan followed is a combination of the library and thetext- book methods. The high school library is very well supplied with reference books and books for collateral reading. A certain amount of collateral reading is required of all students. In each ofthe courses each student also makes a series of historical maps illustrating the growth and development of the country he is studying. At the end of the course he then has an historical atlas of his own making. This is in accordance with t-he latest and most approved methods of historical study. It may be said that it is perhaps within the range of possibility that an additional year's workin history may be offered in the Beloit High School by next year. , SCIENCE. The work in the Science department includes five subjects, three of them, chemistry, botany and physics, being carried for a full year each, and the other two, physical geography and geology, being combined to make one year's work. All of this work is required of the regular students, with the exception that in the Junior year they have an option of taking either botany, which is in the Latin-Science course, or chemistry, which belongs to the German-Science course. The work is arranged to meet the demands of the college 9114 trance requirements, but in amount is much more than that demands, and serves to give the student a very good introduction J, H, ADAMS IPRINCIPALJ, to severaldepartments of science. The headquarters of this depart- ment are in a room in the basement of the high school building. This has been fitted up as a laboratory, and is used for ai recita- tion room as well. Tl1e equipment is very good for a high school course. The former teachers are to be commended for their work in preparing the fine, large collection of specimens i11 the museum, which aid very materially in illustrating the work in natural science. There is a fine collection of mounted Zoological speci- mens, although no course in that subject is offered in the school at present. There is also a large collection of minerals, fossils and other geological specimens for the use of the geology class, and this class goes each year on an excursion to the Blue Hills, about twenty-tive miles southwest of here, to hunt and collect specimens and to observe the structure and formation of the hills and the SCIENCE AND GERMAN DEP 1's. many other facts of geological interest which can be observed there to good advantage. The equipment for work in chemistry and physics is intended for the demonstration of principles and theories by actual experi- ments by the instructor, and by the students themselves wherever practicable. The work in botany emphasizes particularly the laboratory method of studying the subject. Each student plants seeds of various kinds of plants, studying the process of their germina- tion and growth, and the various phases of plant life are studied from the plants themselves. In the spring the text is laid aside almost entirely, and the work is devoted to studying t-he develop- ment, arrangement and structure of the various organs and parts of the plants as they appear. Each student is required to collect, mount, describe and classify a number of plants as a part of the permanent collection. The object of the course is to make the student familiar with plants instead of with a text-book. GERMAN. Two years' work is given in German. It is arranged to cor- respond with the work required and outlined for college prepara- tory work. The first year is taken up mainly with a thorough drill in the grammar and translations of easy exercises illustrating the various constructions. A reader is begun in the second term of the first year, and conversation based on the work is attempted t-o accustom the student to the spoken language. I11 the second year the grammar is reviewed, the reader finished, some short classics are read, and in the last term Schiller's masterpiece, Wilhelm Tell, is read. Throughout the work the students practice conversation and commit to memory many selections of poetry and patriotic songs. The time given to the study of German is not expected to make a student a master of the language, or even proficient in the use of it. If t-he student is able to understand the underlying principles of the language, appreciate some of the beauties of its literature, get a better insight and understanding of his own lan- guage through comparison, and can make himself, even imper- fectly, understood by the use of what German he has acquired,-we feel that the time is profitably spent. LATIN. Latin has been and always will be the indispensable basis of the literary course in all high schools, and it is because the value of its study has beeen thoroughly proved. A few years ago one of the principal reasons for studying Latin in high schools seemed to be that of preparing students to en ter the universities and colleges of our country. This is nolonger true, since the requirements for entrance into these schools have been changed. Now it is possible to enter and get an A. B. degree without any knowledge of this subject. From this fact it would seem that the per cent. studying Latin might diminish, but sta- tistics for the last few years show anincrease of 20 per cent. taking FLORENCE MONTGOMERY, the Latin course in our high schools, which shows that this was not the real reason for studying Latin. Three-fourths of all the words of the English language are de- rived irom Latin. Then to be able to understand our own lan- guage -we must have some knowledge of Latin. Another impor- tant reason is, that through the Latin we get the only accurate knowledge of Roman history. The Beloit High School offers a four years' course in Latin. The first- year consists of the regular beginner's work, as offered in Smiley and Storke's Beginner's Latin Book. During the three years following, sixteen books of Latin are read, divided as follows: Four hooks of Caesar the second year, six of Cicero's Orations the third year, and the first six books of Vergil the fourth year. Prose composition is studied once a week through- out the three years, constituting a Very thorough high school Latin course. 1 DEPARTMENT OF' LA TIN. ENGLISH. The chief function of English is to develop the power of self- expression. Self-expression is the medium through which all knowledge is communicated,and through q which that invaluable something, indi- viduality, asserts itself. The English co u1'se in the Beloit High School comprises three full years of text book, classics and research work. Classes complete a text book and' six classics in a year, sometimes more.A An endeavor is made to select such literature as is adapted to theimmediate need of a class. A love for good literature means a love for nature, for humanity, and for Wholesome, helpful living. Tl1e reading habit, rightly formed, means the ability not only to read books, but to read life with an unfaltering trust in the opti- mistic idea that life, clean, busy, pur- poseful life, is worth while. The Freshman class this year have made a study of the typical novel, Silas MARY B- NELSON' Marner,J' thus gaining a' standard by which to judge all novels. It is dangerous to read at random, without some established method of criticism. The Old Greek Folk Storiesw make a good preparation for further lit-erary work because literature teems with allusions to mythological char- acters. Scott's Lady of the Lake, a narrative poem, makes a most interesting and profitable introduction to the study of poetry. g In addition to these, the Freshman class have studied the historical novel, Tale of Two Cities, outlined biographies of scientists, orators and philosophers, and completed The Great Stone Face, a model short story. They are an enterprising, in- dustrious class and have shown a marked improvement in origin- ality during the year. h DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH. The Sophoniores have accomplished an unusual amount of individual research work, becoming acquainted with various authors and their distinguishing characteristics. They have readily interpreted Milton's Minor Poems, which are usually not attempted before the third year. Ro1nola, Crawford,l' Lays of Ancient. Rome and Bryant's Sella have likewise beencompleted. For the provincial type, t'Colonel Carter, of Cartersville, was studied, while Irving's Tales of a Traveler furnished many charming bits of hum or. Impersonations, charac- ter sketches, and debates have been written. The Sophomores have a special aptitude for literary work and always perform any amount with a good natured smile. They have their own way of doing things and it is almost invariably a good one. The Juniors have made a special st-udy of the different periods in English and American Literature, the Greek, French and Eng- lish Drama, and the development of the Arthurian Cycle. They have made a critical, detailed study of Tennyson's Idylls of the King, outlined Sophocles' ' Antigone, ' completed Hawthorneis Mosses from an Old Mansef' read 'iCyrauo de Bergerac, and made a philosophical study of Shakespeare's Macbeth. They have proven themselves worthy of their place as the most ad- vanced English class by their progressive and wide awake spirit. The hours spent with the English classes have been most en- joyable ones. Together we have studied and striven, toiled and laughed 3 together we have learned many lessons which are daily proving themselves practical. ' MATHEMATICS. Another year has rolled itself around. Another class looks backward, not forward, to the four long years of high school work on the hill. During these four years the present graduat- ing class has had the constant company of some member of the mathematical family, except for about eight weeks which was spent on a review of civics. The real duty of the teacher of mathematics lies, not so much in the teaching of the solution of the equation, the rules and methods of factoring, the application of the four fundamental signs, etc., as it does in the development of the spirit of individu- ality and investigative research in t-he students themselves. From the very beginning of algebra in the high school the teacher should insist upon accurate, concrete and logical reason- ing, for without this mathematics has no more strength than a chain whose links are divided. Then, if accuracy i11 reasoning is developed, the next essential and inevitable step is the corre- lation of the various branches of mathematics found in the cur- riculum. Algebra is simply the upper story of arithmetic, while geom- etry is the foundation and the tower oi the structure. Then, since the whole makes one com- plete structure, why is there a tendency to make of them three distinct and separate units? In the words of Professor Slaught, of the University of Chicago, Algebra should take its root in arithmetic and arith- metic should find its fruit in al- gebra, otherwise the study of al- gebra to the beginner is a con- fused juggling with symbols. Separation of the two is abso- ' '1'-P- DOWNS, - ., DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS. lutely fatal. . Elementary algebra and geometry should be correlated with arithmetic far back as the Eighth, or even the Seventh grade, and if this is not done the duty of the high school teacher becomes all the more difficult. To overcome a ditliculty such as the one just named the teacher must lead out from the known into the unknown, always keeping the land in sight. Professor Slaught still further adds to his previous figure when he says: The stu- dent must constantly hold fast to the shore line of arithmetic while he ventures out into the unknown sea of algebra, so beset with the hidden rocks of abstract diiiiculties and so befogged with the mists of destination. Although mental development is a prime essentiallof high school mathematics, still we must not forget the utility side of the subject. A large part of the problems of the average text- book of algebra are not at all practical. As in days gone by our ancestors labored incessantly over the alarming fact that three cats caught three mice in three minutes, so we today are wrestling with figgers to find out the alarming fact that the tail of afish happened to be six inches more than one-half the length of its body, and that its body was as long as its head and tail together. Also, we are quite busy in determining how many leaps a hound will have to take in order to catch a hare which has the start of one hundred leaps, each one leaping as they can. So, in the year two thousand, we may guess that, keeping pace with t-he times, the problems will consist in determining the speed of automobiles and flying machines. That such may not be the case let us invoke t-he assist-ance of this mighty power fthe Seniorsj who are 11ow going out into the world to do good. MUSIC. It is impossible to estimate, even approximately, the success of this first year of special musical instruction in the pu blic schools, or to even venture a guess at the amount of benefit which may accrue to the pupils and patrons through its introduction. The director has reduced music in the grades to a system which is consistent, one grade with the others, and yet- compre- hensive, regarded as a concrete course. In the primary grades no effort has been made to crowd the young minds too far with an unreasonable and injurious amount of technical work, but rather the endeavor has been to instill into them a healthful and natural love for singing, reserving the more mature idea of not-ation al- most entirely until the more advanced years. And the teachers of the primary rooms testify that the children in their grades learn their note songs far more easily than formerly. In the intermediate grades, up to and including the Eighth, a great deal of time and effort has been spent in cultivating the practical knowledge and ability of singing new songs at sight, by means of reading the notes, unaided by any musical instrument. No organs or other instruments have been in use in any rooms, with one or two exceptions. Thus the pupils have learned to de- pend solely upon eye and ear in singing, literally, 'Sat sight..'l The coming year, should the music course be continued, each grade will be advanced one year beyond the work done by the same respective grade this past year. In this way each grade will soon begin doing the work which naturally should belong to it. It is probable that a dif- ferent system of text-books may be introduced also. In the high school almost the entire time has been devoted to actual chorus practice, the prac- tical experience necessary to fin- ishing the system of singing taught in the lower grades. A new chorus-book was introduced after the Christmas holidays, and a renewed interest on the part of GEORGE vp, MATTHEWS, the pupils resulted, DEPARTMENT or Music. As a whole the year's work has been eminently successful. Old Sayings. Mr. Hall- I would like to call attention to one of the rules ofthe board of education.

We have no historyg we are like Topsy, just growedf' As yet no startling facts have been accomplished by us, but we are leaving a blazed t-rail in our wake. Just wait until we enter the arena of life, and then there will be a history worth recording in the archives of time. We began o11r existence as Freshmen with a class of fifty-four members, but in the struggle for existence only the choice of nat- ural selection have survived. In the youthful glamor of fresh- manship we imagined that we might some day be the largest graduating class to leave our alma mater. Everyone knows that wise men sometimes change their minds, fools never,'i and this explains why we 11ow hope to be the smallest class. In the be- ginning we numbered twenty boys and thirty-four girls, and now four boys and half the original number of girls remain true to their colors.

All our teachers will refer you to the- Junior class as a model of deportment and studiousness. We, like the Greeks, are noted for our originality and versa- tile minds. We are firm advocates of woman suffrage, as our having a girl for president would indicate. Then, instead of giv- ing each other valentines, in accordance with that old fashioned custom, we presented our principal with a whole boxful, as a token of our love and respect. We are the only class in school that can boast of never having a tardy this year. No other class has ever had a holiday, and if the early bird catches the worrnj' the laurels will surely be with us. Look for our motto, emblazoned on the escutcheon of fame, Labor omnia Vincit.

What a wealth of knowledge and foolishness, joy and sorrow, is blended in that one word. However, we can say for our thirty-two members that our Sophomore year has been rather fuller of knowledge and joy than of sorrow and foolishness. We have the reputation of being the hardest working, most will- ing and most orderly class in B. H. S. at the present time. flf you don't believe it, ask the facultyj Our conduct is ever receiv- ing praises, and our works and ways are ever held up as examples and goals for the verdant West Sidersf' This is the most respon- sible position we have: that of assisting those queer young Fresh- men to dull their dazzling verdancy, for, as a rule, Freshmen are green. QWe were the exception to that rule.J Besides our great work of reforming Freshman prodigies, we are rapidly working our way to the front. The progressive spirit of our classis widely known. Nothing we attempt is left unac- complished. In two more years we shall leave our high school for a broader work, carrying off more honors than any previous class. If you feel we are exaggerating, wait until 1908, when we can and will prove to you that all we have prophesied is true. Ode to the Freshmen. See the Freshmen! happy all, Playing till their teachers call g Then they start and go to work, Quickly like a lazy Turk. Teacher sits serene and stark, And her frown looks very dark.

Before considering so important and inexhaustible a topic as the Freshman class, I wish you to fully understand, as you shall later, that I am not a Fiske nor an Eggleston. This is merely an attempt made by an amateur. In my estimation our class is just a little bit superior to any previous Freshman class in the history of the institution. During the year fifty-six students have been enrolled, but some 'having stopped, the present enrollment is forty-three. One thing that makes this a remarkable class is that it has more girls than boys. They are a wise and ambitious little set, and are the idol of the Latin teacher's heart. They are also noted for their remarkable ability for working algebra problems. They were very successful in getting a president for the class, and managed to get a little fellow of influence and of very, much importance, and they also secured a good secretary. We cannot say very much about the vice president, because she has not fig- ured very much in the class business as yet. But she will get there, never mind, and so will we all, and the term of nineteen hundred and seven will find us enrolled as Sophomores, with our colors flying, and a determination to excel in that class as we did when Freshmen. Adieu. . - Good-bye, good speed, dear Seniors, We watch you sad and sore, , Your boat now glides into the stream- We're standing on the shore. You're free to go, your tasks are done, And we work three years more. One year your sweet example This class has tried to heed, But we must part and someone else This little band will lead.

There is no association or society which touches the life of the student body as closely as a well organized and well conducted athletic association. The energy and activity of a school can well be judged by the interest and enthusiasm aroused in the sup- port of clean athletic sports as a part of the school. There is no exception to the above statement, for however small a school may be, or under however many adverse circumstances it may be laboring, there is something wrong somewhere if the local pride and school spirit- of the institution will not assert itself in the event of SOIUB fair athletic victory, even though it be only afoot race for a sack racej. On the other hand, there is a grave responsibility resting with a school athletic association and its management. The purpose of establishing such an organization in a high school is indeed commendable, and if well organized and conducted its presence becomes almost indispensible to the best interests of the school. Since this association must stand before the public as a repre- sentative of the cream of the school, it behooves each and every member to see to it that the principles set forth in its con- stitution and by-laws shall be such that shall stand open before the public without fear of adverse criticism. It is also the duty of each member to see that the letter of the law is complied with by the student body as well as by the officers. V It is not 'at all necessary to state that the Beloit High School. has not lain dormant in regard to the promotion of athletic en- terprises. We venture the assertion that no other high school in Kansas can boast of so much notoriety in the field of athletics as can that of Beloit. During the past season there were three teams organized under the B. H. S. Athletic association, viz.: The foot ball team, the girls' basket ball team and the boys' basket ball team. Too much cannot be said of the management and success of the foot ball team during the past season. Each of the boys de- serves especial mention for the part they took in making the team a success, for the work of a team is shown in the work of the in- dividual members. The team could not have been in the hands of a better director than it was with Captain Sloan. He ex- emplified the fact that it t-akes something else besides bones in afoot ball gameg it takes nerve. We challenge the state for a better high school foot ball man. With M. D. Baer as manager the team had the entire attention of a young man who knows how to do things. His superior executive ability was brought into good play this year, and it is to him that the credit is largely due for tiding the team over its financial difficulties brought about as a result of extreme bad luck in having several rainy days when games were scheduled on the home field. At the close of the sea- son the team was about one hundred and thirty dollars in debt. At present there is no indebtedness. The team was particularly fortunate in securing Mr. A. Brumage as coach. Having gradu- ated from the B. H. S. and later from the State University of Kansas, Mr. Brumage was in a good position to throw his ener- gies into his work and render most eifective service. Without a good coach no team can do effect-ive work. We may judge Mr. Brumage's ability along this line by the splendid success which crowned his labors. At the close ofthe season of sport the following oiiicers were elected for the coming season: Captain, B. E. Brineyg general manager, M. D. Baer. Under this supervision the team cannot do other than prosper. The outlook for an exceptionally strong team for next year is as good at tl1e present as it has been at any time in the past. We are already beginning to look forward to the big event at Thanksgiving, at which time our high school team will play Iola on the home field. Basket ball is a comparatively new thing in the Beloit High School, but it bids fair to become equally as strong as foot ball, providing we may be so fortunate as to have the teams made up of as good material and under as good management in the future as they were during the past year. The girls' basket ball team organized with Miss Mary Home as captain and Miss Montgomery as general manager. The boys' basket ball team organized with H. Kaull as cap- tain, and G. H. J ermark as general manager. On the fourth Friday of September, 1905, the Athletic asso- ciation met and elected the following officers: President, H. Kaullg vice president, Leo Bozelleg general manager, T. P. Downs. Since there were many parts of the old constitution which were objectionable and ineffective, at a special meeting on Febru- ary 2, it was voted by the association that we shall not abide by the constitution. As this act virtually destroyed the association, at the same meeting a motion was made and carried that a com- mittee be appointed by Chairman Kaull for the purpose of draft- ing a new constitution. The committee consisted of the following parties: Miss Mary Home, G. H. J ermark, E. Williams, H. Sloan and T. P. Downs. The committee 'igot busy, and at a mass meeting on April 23 the following constitution was adopted. The plan of procedure, as outlined below, is a step in the right direction. All it needs is the hearty co-operation of students, teachers and school board to make the Beloit High School Ath- letic association a thing of beauty and a joy foreverf' Constitution of Athletic Association.

S. foot ball team of 1905 began practice in Septem- ber, when about twenty players responded to the first call of Cap- tain Sloan. From that time on a full team was generally on the field every evening, and by the excellent work of Coach Alpha Brumage the team was soon in good shape. The following are the games and scores: September 30, Asherville at Beloit, - 29-0 October 14, Clyde at Clyde, - - - 24-0 October 2, Concordia at Beloit, - 60-0 November 4, Clyde at Beloit, - - 23-0 November 11, Asherville at Asherville, 39-0 November 25, Hays Normals at Beloit, 6-0 November 28, Iola at Iola, - - - 0-27 'Qs , 1 xi' get!

The girls showed their ability in t-he game and had a very successful season. The team of 1905-06 matched several games, but they were called off on account of the smallpox scare. Finally a game was matched with Simpson. The resulting score was 5 to 6, in favor of Simpson. There is no reason why Beloit should not have a first-class girls' basket ball team next year, as there are some fine players in the school.

But with all his gymnastics and his gazing around, When his eyes rested on us, hefd not make a sound. And that is the reason, 'midst trouble and care, That we worship so dearly the old rostrum chair. He seldom got fussy, and never got mad, QAt least no one knew ity which was indeed sad. But now we must leave him, peace be to his shade! And may he forgive us the mischief we madeg For a gentleman truer could never be found Than our Principal Adams, good fellow all 'round. Yes, we love it! we love it! and who can dare To chide us for loving the rostrum chair? The gates fgaitsj by which the Seniors approach celebrity: Ida Lowry-Self reliance. Nellie Troutman-Joyousness.

SCENE I-The hall and stairway of the B. H. S. just after chapel, when the lines are marching to class. Capt. Brum.: Now line up, you gang, and make the rush when Miss Montgomery steps into room 4,5 the girls will all be down stairs by that time. Bones fviewing the linejz 4'Get in line t-here, Coxieg ain't you game? Flannelrnouth fstealthily stepping outirom the rearj: 'f Break ranks, quick, the enemy Downs is slowly approaching the left flankg don't let him suspect anything. fDowns walks up, stops and looks at everybody a few min- utes, and since nobody seems concerned about him, he decides that everything is all right and walks back.j Capt. Bruin.: Come on, everybody, and line up as you start down stairs. Amos: Get in line there, Billg what are you foolin' around out there for ? Shag: Keep step, everybody, right, left, right, left, now that's the stuff. Bones Cat the foot of the first flight of stairsl: What do you devils mean by walking so easy? You step like you might be walking in a graveyard instead of going to physics class. Now come on and make a little noise as we go down the next stair- way. Capt. Bruin.: U Shut up, Bones, you phoolg can't you see Mr. Hall watching' us over the banister? You never did have no sense. Flannelmouth Cexcitedlyjz Hurry up there, gang, Mr. Adams is coming. p fThey approach the second stairwayj A Bones: Make all the noise you can as we go down the next stairs. V Capt. Brum. fat the foot of the stairsj: Halt, everybody! Now break ranks here and go into the laboratory on the run and grab the first thing you see and turn it up-side-down. Bones: 'CCOITIG on. Shag, we'1l lead? fThey make the rush, but on entering the door Dr. Brewer is seen sitting in the front of the room. Afew utterances ofthe word jigger, and the fun is over.j True Bra very. The professors of our high school Are noble brave and grand. Oh! surely they must be the flower Of all the Kansas land. 'Tis said, in someone's book, a boy Wrote a profane expression, And one professor did attempt To punish the transgression. The boy rebelled against a lash From that small tube of rubber, The teacher was obliged to get Assistance from another. Oh, was it not a noble act, - That these two brave men did, In iniiicting corporal punishment On one small Freshman kid? THE RADICAL. Mr. Hall- Now, can anybody tell me who discovered America? ' Hazel B.- What? Oh, I know 3 it was Geo. Washington. OUR TEACHERS. , Miss Smith, of the editorial board, has been in coimnunication with the several teachers who have taughtthe present Senior class in the high school. Mr. Rose, Mr. Rummold, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Shively and Mrs. Ada Thomas-Kempthorne are those who have had the honor of teaching the class of '06 before they were Seniors. To our great surprise, they do not seem to have .for- gotten us, and their letters even indicate that they are concerned about the fate of the class Qwhich is very uncertainj. We take this opportunity to mention our pleasure on hearing that each and every one of them have been given higher positions than they had when teaching in the Beloit High School. We have all been in either direct or indirect communication with the teachers of 'O6. We have, at times, had misunderstand- ings with each of them. But now, as we look back over the past year, we can see where we have been in error when we thought that any teacher was imposing on us, we see that the fault was ours, and that the instructors' intentions' have been to see us all graduated from the Beloit- High School. The unmistakable impartiality of Mr. Hall, the unexampled marks of a perfect gentleman about Mr. Adams, the womanly gentleness of Miss Montgomery, the ladylike stateliness of Miss Nelson, the true interestedness of Mr. Downs, have all taught us to honor our faculty and to look upon them as our friends. Our associations have been pleasant, and it is with sincere 'regret that we pass from beneath their guiding hands. Dear friends, we thank you, one and ally We hope that yours was not a grievous task 3 Just read our advertisements through ,T P This is the last of favors which we ask. -THE Enrron.

Henry- Is it known, sir, whether Euclid personally bore the character of a trustworthy man, careful of his statements? Mr. Downs- Well, I cannot say that his private life is a mat- ter of historyg but- P Henry-H But from his writings, sir, would you say he was to be depended upon 'I Mr. Downs- Ah-yes, certainly I should.
