AN APPRECIATION SHE principalship of the Beloit High School is a busy man's position. 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 ,..
