Our Faculty Predominant in the minds of those who contemplate entering High School is the question: “What Courses are taught?” Then, quite naturally, they wish to know how many teachers are employed and what qualities they possess. Following these come innumerable questions of the same character. For the benefit of those who intend entering B. H. S. next year we will try, to the best of our ability, to answer what we consider to be the more important of these interrogations, relying upon our experiences in High School as a source of information and authority. At the present time one may take either the College Preparatory, Commercial, Normal Training, Domestic Science or Manual Training Course. The school is well equipped to teach all of these branches. And the student may, if he so desires, take studies in two or more of these courses at the same time, in that way studying not only the Languages, Mathematics and Sciences, but also gain some very valuable information as to the methods employed in the different lines of the business world. For this reason we would advise anyone finishing the Grades to finish High School as well. They will afterward be amply repaid for all the time they so devote to the pursuit of knowledge. Of course we naturally think that we have the best High School in the state right here in Beloit, and we know positively that no better teachers are to be found in any other institutions of learning. The students of B. H. S. may indeed be proud of the faculty they have to work under, and may with all truthfulness and sincerity say that it is a pleasure to study and associate with each and every one of the teachers. On account of the small amount of space allowed us in this Annual, we cannot go into the character and merits of each teacher in detail, but will hurriedly sketch through as many of them as is permissible. In our Superintendent, we find a true man in every respect. He is a lover of clean athletics and all good sports, as well as strong Academic work, and is always working for the benefit and welfare of the students. In truth, he may be called one of “Nature’s Noblemen.” Everyone is familiar with Mr. Loop, and knows that he has been directly connected with the Beloit Schools for a great number of years. This last year was Mr. Loop’s first year as Principal, and we think that he is to be complimented upon the success that has thus far crowned his efforts. Miss Carpenter is Assistant Principal, and there are none of the students that can say one word against her as a teacher. She holds the love and respect of every student in the school. She teaches the English classes and has indeed proven her qualities as an instructor. Mr. McCluggage is a man of mighty intellect and broad views. He has astonished the entire Senior class by the way in which he can absorb “History,” and the perfectly horried examinations he can give in that same subject. This is Mr. McCluggage’s first year in the Beloit schools, and he is certainly a teacher the schools can ill afford to lose. Miss McHendry teaches the science of mass and energy, and is certainly proficient in that art. Besides proving herself a very valuable teacher, she has won the hearts of the entire school by her ready wit and bubbling good humor. She comes from Missouri University, and if M. U. has any more like her Beloit ought to induce them to come to Kansas.
