We are first in everything else but we are next to the largest class that has graduated from the Beloit High School. In our very Freshman year no class can claim the honor of having excelled us in greennessg for positively we admit we were the greenest set of youngsters that ever crossed the threshold of the old building. About half of our number were rec1'uits from the country districts of the county. The little village of Victor alone furnished live of the brightest young people. They are James and John Farrand, Gladys Swinton, Mabel Mehl and Frances Baldwin. Edith Prewett hails from Ash- erville, while Ethel Hewitt, Golda. Underhill, Cecilia Ellwart and Edna Belles grad- uated from the district schools south and west of town. From north of town came Elsie Rathbun, Herbert Harrington, Glen Gordanier and Forrest Jones-the two latter mentioned being from Jewell County. From St. John's School we have Mary Steele, Gertrude Clark, Helen Graff and Will Conroy. Carl Hartman is from the Scottsville country. Dial Nolan and Lester Shamburg have spent only their Senior year in our class. Charlotte Thomas came to Beloit from Woodston just before the beginning of her Freshman year, and likewise Alma. Nieman from Colby and Bernice Randall from Stockton. And last but by no means the least are those from the city schools of this city. They are Thelma Stack, Blanche Brooke, Vernon Keeley, Lasette Flowers, Roy Simpson, Pearl Sparks, Welton Knarr, Zola Lesley, Tom Smith, Ruth Scholten, Donald Blair, Ruth Noah, Florence Koch, Hollis Keys, Charlotte Burkhart, Ellen Horn, Helen Marrs and Edward Scholten. Considering the above mentioned names do you question my first assertion? On that eventful day, our first day in the High School, each one was trying to lock wiser than Seniors, but with no success. As all children do. we soon outgrew our disorderliness and organized, choosing for our president, Hollis Keys, and for treasurer, Will Conroy. During that whole year, however, we never outgrew our shynessg for not one party did we give, we enjoyed, however, a picnic at Tolley's Ford, which event was our only social function, As Sophomores we were even more progressive than in our Freshman year, if we may accept as true the statements 'of our students of Psychology, that we make most progress when fewest results are seen. As Sophomores we surely advanced by strides and bounds. A mild spirit of disunion had pervaded all our class efforts when we were Freshmen. But the next year when we commenced to organize and launch upon undertakings requiring combined efforts, we soon came to the sad realization that the Demon of Discord had full sway in our class. Reason had not entirely fled, though, for we displayed excellent wisdom in choosing for our officers, Will Conroy, president, Vernon Keeley, vice president and Tom Smith, secretary and treasurer. Since we do not wish to boast, no mention will be made of our numerous social suc- CGSSBS. II E i l THE ALOHA OE 1917 By the time we had entered upon our Junior year we had dwindled in number from one hundred to forty-five. Perhaps among the most popular ones that left our ranks to enter other schools may be mentioned Delilah Johnson, now attending K. U. and Bob Smith, now living in Clarinda, Iowa. The results of our progressive Soph- omore year were a long time coming to the surface when we were Juniors. But come to the surface they did. We did not organize until we had to, but when we were called to order for re-organization by Will Conroy as chairman, a mysterious something was already in the air. Nearly all the members were present, no factional divisions were to be seen and all were satisfied with the class decisions. The result of the class election was Tom Smith, president, Mabel Mehl, vice president and Charlotte Burkhart, sec- retary and treasurer. In February another class meeting was called for electing someone, to furnish literature from the Juniors for The Annual. Everyone regarded this as a matter of course, but, strange to say, for the first time in our history we actually accomplished the task required of us. Was it mere chance that brought this about, or was there a little spirit--let us call her the Good Fairy, Concord, who scattered broadcast among us her gold-dust of harmony and chased away the Demon Discord, spellbound and helpless? Whatever was taking place, it was going to endure. Class meetings became more frequent and better attended. A short time before St. Patrick's Day we met again and changed our class colors from the barbarous combination of pink and blue to green and white, all agreeing to keep the affair a secret and to blossom forth in class colors on the seventeenth. Although Mr. Hamilton frowned with disapproval upon this p1'oject, it had such an exhilarating effect upon us that almost every Junior at- tended the Leap Year class party that evening at the Club House to which each girl escorted a Junior boy. The affair was so informal and democratic that soon everyone, even the shyest was fairly bubbling over with fun. Before we had recovered from this party, we planned and commenced work on the Junior-Senior Banquet, a by no means small undertaking, the very mention of which caused us to quake with apprehension of almost certain failure. Contrary to our expectations, every Junior was loyal and we acquitted ourselves very creditably indeed. The elevator to success is not runningg take the stairs. Not an inch have we been lifted by any elevator, but we have climbed the stairs to Success, step by step -not an easy task. We have slipped backwards many times and the time lost in re- gaining our footing seemed at the time to have been wasted. But looking back on those reverses, so heroically met and overcome, we concluded that they were only a part of our training to give us strength and to make us appreciate the successes awaiting us when we have reached thc top step of the Stairs. Hollis Keys, who was our Freshman President is now our Senior President, while Gladys Swinton, not es- pecially noted for herhonesty but for her excellent business abilities, Is looking after our financial affairs. Nothing very extraordinary is taking place among us this winter. We have been a success socially this year and as for our mental attainments -0 well, take it for granted that we are intellectual prodigies. Please, do not con- sult our instructors about this, as it wouldn't do to know too much about us any- way. We are very proud of the fact that six of our Senior boys have played football this year. They are Will Conroy, Tom Smith, James and John Farrand, Forrest CIE? 'IMI f N THE ALOHA OE 1917 Jones and Hollis Keys. Three of the girls, Pearl Sparks, Blanche Brooke and Helen Marrs have made their mark playing basket ball. After all, perhaps, the things that count most, are the habits acquired, things accomplished and things experienced. So we may say All's well that ends weIl. May God be wi' ye all. -JOSIE STERLING.

E 1917 BS. CI K ,I ll, .I THE ALOHA OE 1.917 Senior Weenie Roast On the evening of October 11th, the Senior Class left the High School grounds about seven o'clock for Solomon Rapids. Six cars carried the class and Misses Bozell and Conroy to the picnic grounds. , In a short time all the party had arrived except one car which was sitting in the road about two miles from the picnic grounds. About half an hour later it arrived., members of the class having come back and rendered aid. All were in time to receive their share of the buns and roasted weeniesf 'After supper the time was spent in toasting marshmallows and singing songs. After starting home we found the moonlight so alluring that we decided to take a joy ride. All went well until we reached Smith Porter's place when-bump-well we arrived home in one less car than we started in. Twelve o'clock found all the merry makers home and glad the accident occurred coming home and not going out. -T. S. and B. B. Hallowe'en Party Just as it grew dark a few curious looking people were seen gathering at the Club House in the Park. Soon the dark and gloomy place was lighted with a mysterious glow. At eight o'clock the guests commenced to arrive. They were met at the door by a ghost with a cold, clammy hand of welcome. Another ghost escorted them to the dressing room. When the wraps were removed, each person was escorted to the witch's den. Here the witch crooning her song in a dull monotone, the skeleton in the corner, and the black caldron containing the fortunes enclosed in nut shells. made a very weird scene indeed. After each one had learned his fate, the lights were turned on and the ghosts unmasked. The room was decorated with shocks of fodder within which were jack- o-lanterns. Various Hallowe'en games were played. Finally all were seated about the fireplace and a delicious luncheon was served consisting of hot chocolate, sandwiches, pumpkin pie, cake and ice cream. - M.

A profusion of lilacs, potted plants, flags, pennants, class colors and rugs lent a spirit of gayety to the scene which was soon manifested in the gay time the young people were having. The Seniors had prepared a very pleasing program-the most enjoyed feature of which was the shadow play entitled, THE BALLAD OF MARY JANE, which was staged in the Assembly Hall. Out in the Reception Hall the Old Maids' Repair Shop caused a great deal of merriment because twelve old maids regained their freshness of youth. ' Aftr the program, refreshments, consisting of pineapple sherbet and two kinds of cake, were served by the play cast. To the great relief of the class there was a plenty of refreshments although some unknown culprits made a raid on the kitchen during the program in the Assembly Hall and made their get-away with some of the cakes. Punch was served throughout- the evening by three Freshmen girls. --J. S. Class Song . lTune, That Moaning Saxophone Rag. We are going to tell you all about our class, And just how each Senior manages to pass, We get the teachers on our own side, And put on the brakes so they won't let us slide: We think our class ranks first above the rest, And these Seniors leaving are about the best, Of all the classes that have left Beloit High, So we're going to laud our colors to the sky. CHORUS: How we love you, Old Beloit High! The orange and black are never shy, The green and white, so very bright, They come next for they're all right. Now just listen while we tell You our very best class yell: Razzle! Dazzle! Zip boom bah! Seniors-Rah! It was in September, nineteen thirteen, That we as Freshmen entered, O, so green: But quite a transformation took its place, And now we want you to look us in the face. And tell us frankly what you think of us, For we think we are just about the stuff That this building should put out each year 'Cause we think it is so very dear. -J. S. I k 'HHS f X THE ALOHA OE 1917 Senior Yell Hike, O-fike, 0-feek, 0-five We're the brightest class alive! Crickety! Crackety! Sis! Boom! Bah! Seniors! Seniors! Rah! Rah! Rah! Ram it in, cram it in Children's heads are hollowg Slam it in, jam it in Still there's more to follow. Rap it in, tap it in, What are teachers paid for? Bang it in, slam it in, What are children made for? Club it in, rub it in, All there is of learning, Scold it in, mold it in, All that they can swallow. Hold it in, fold it in, Still there's more to follow. Now I lay me down to rest, 'Cause I hate to study for a testg If I should die before I wake, I'll not have the exams to take. Ijlll MKII THE ALOHA OE 1917 Senior Line Party The Senior Class of the Beloit High School had a very successful party. The entire class and most of the faculty met at the home of Elizabeth Chubbic. Promptly at eight o'clock the lively crowd started for the Grand, where their presence was made known by their giving Class yells. Later the guests went to the High School where entertainment had been pro- vided for. Progressive Rook was played in the library which we found to be a very pleasant room. We also went riding in flying machines. Ask Miss Bozell. The guests were very graciously escorted to the lower hall where a delicious oyster stew had been prepared. The president of our class, Hollis Keys, presented Miss Conroy with a large bouquet of carnations, as a token of our respect and good wishes for her in the future. After refreshments we went to the Assembly Hall where we made ourselves merry with song. At a late hour the guests dcpal ted all having enjoyed themselves to the utmost. K. U. Club Banquet The members of the 1917 Senior Class were very fortunate to be the guests of the Mitchell County K. U. Club at an elaborate banquet given at the Avenue Hotel December 29, 1917. ' Besides the members of the club there were over fifty guests who assembled in the hotel parlor, which was profusely decorated in the K. U. banner colors of crimson and blue. At 8:30 o'clock the guests were ushered into the dining room where a bounteous five course banquet was served. The choice eatables that were spread before the guests gave evidence of the hospitality of the club, both as to quantity and quality. All du1'ing the evening Kelly's Orchestra furnished delightful music much to the pleas- ure of all present. After dinner, came the toasts which were a source of much interest and amuse- ment, Walter Gill serving very effectively as toastmaster. All the talks by the mem- bers of the K. U. Club were encouraging to the guests to join them at K. U. next year.. Charles Walsh opened the season of toasts with a few pointed remarks on permanent income for a college education. Miss Bess Bozell gave the guests an idea of K. U. by recounting her first impressions when she entered college. Mr. Frank Lutz, one of the oldest graduates in the county, was a prominent speaker of the evening. His well chosen words explained the need of a more efficient education ang the advantages THE ALOHA OE 1917 thereby obtained in all lines of business. Mr. Charles McKinnie, a graduate of the Pharmaceutical department in 1898 was present and gave a splendid toast on Edu- cation, Mr. Al Hicks gave an interesting toast on Football, which was responded to by Will Conroy representing the Beloit High School football team. After a toast by Nellie Graves Evans, in which she expressed her regards to K. U. and its students. Hollis Keys, president of the Senior Class, spoke in behalf of the class thanking the members of the K. U. Club for the interest shown and their hospitality on this occasion. R. N. ,1,l.m-l-- Senior Party of April 2 The Seniors had a party on April 2 at the High School, the first Senior party of the second semester. The entire High School was in use for the evening. The Fac- ulty and Seniors were admitted through the east gymnasium door to listen to the im- ported orchestra, which April-fooled us. They were then ushered to the main building where the fool's caps and wands were distributed to them. The building was gayly decorated fitting to the occasion, with unique signs, Christmas decorations and every decoration which was out of season. Various games which consisted of fishing ponds, top spinning, ringing canes and matching pictures were started, four persons at a table. To the winners were given bells to reward them for their diligence and perseverance. Some of the more childish were sent to the second floor to amuse themselves in the sport of chair racing. James Farrand was unanimously chosen winner of the sweepstakes. Later the orchestra arrived and we were favored with a few selections, such as the Rosary and other high cl.ass numbers. ' Partners were found by matching napkins C'funny papersl and refreshments were served to the guests, including the Board of Education who chanced to be hold- ing its regular meeting at the High School. Mr. Jordan, representing the Board, then favored us with a few comments and if Mr. Jordan's remarks hold true the cooks were duly paid for their hard work. After the refreshments we all went to the Assembly Hall and joined in sing- ing a few patriotic and popular selections accompanied on the piano by Miss Gladys Swinton, after which we all tendered a vote of thanks to the committees and sponsors for our evening's entertainment and adjourned to our respective homes. -T. S. ,..l.l-ll- Junior-Senior Banquet May the twenty-second, nineteen hundred and sixteen, is a night that will be remembered byethis Senior Class as one of the chief occasions in their social life in the K 'll f N IEE i ii THE ALOHA OE 1917 High School. This was the date when we as Juniors led the graduating class of last year, armed with their diplomas, and the Faculty, lprotected by umbrellasj through a torrent of rain, to the Masonic Hall, to banquet them. After a very short reception in the waiting room, we proceeded into the dining hall and sat down to tables artistically decorated with ferns and red and white car- nations. Eleven of last year's Sophomore girls served the banquet which was prepared by the Eastern Star. Late in the evening, or rather early in the morning, they gathered again in the lodge room first to hear Miss Hughes sing two very beautiful songs. Toasts were given by Hollis Keys, Tom Smith, Will Conroy Corrie Keeley, Superintendent Hamil- ton and Professor Loop. A violin duet was played by Gertrude Gladow and Frances Baldwin accompanied by Goldie Frceman. Gladys Swinton ended the program with a piano solo. The happy Seniors of the ycar nineteen seventeen, the new members of the B. H. S. alumni with their fond teachers, returned to their homes in plenty of time for breakfast. -G. S.

H. S. We were very green but the frost of that fall did not destroy us. Our class began with an enrollment of eighty-seven. At the first meeting we elected the following officers: Jay Roberts, president, Ruth Cook, vice president: Doyle Gilbert, secretary .and Hurd Douglass, treasurer. In that memorable year we had a very interesting social event, in the form of a tacky party. We all were dressed in funny costumes and snapshot pictures were taken of the crowd. During this year we were called to mourn the death of Gladys Martindale, one of the popular Fresh- man girls. , In our Sophomore year we had learned some of the ways of High School life and considered ourselves quite smart. That year we enjoyed ourselves laughing at the green Freshmen. However, we began our work in an industrious manner and elected our officers in the beginning of the year. We elected Lynn Smith, president, Hurd Douglass, vice president, Cecil Ammerman, treasurer and Hettie Leslie, secretary. We showed our class spirit that year by giving a masquerade Ha1lowe'en party. This was a great success from start to finish. ' This year, after we have gone through the trials of belonging to the lowest classes, we have reached a higher class, namely the Junior. Since next year will be our last year we are striving to master our English, Botany and other subjects. We enjoyed a very delightful feast in the Domestic Science room one noon for the purpose of writing this history. But after enjoying ourselves eating and taking snapshots, the noon hour passed before our history was Writteng so we had to wait for another time to produce this masterpiece. We really think that ours will be the most brilliant class ever graduated from the B. H. S. and that it will be the pride of teachers and pupils alike. -0. H., M. E. and L. S. A Junior Myth One day in the middle of one of our Summers, a man was working with a Lyster in a Green field. His horse stumbled, and the farmer noticed that the animal had lost a shoe. That afternoon he took his horse to a Smith, whose shop was located in a Lowe part of a small village. As he left the forge, a boy rode after him and led him to an Underhill cave, where a Cook was bending over a kettle preparing the meal. Other people were in the cave, Pag was cleaning the lamp Wicks in a corner of the cave. Pag-ett an Olive and the Cook told him that if he did not escape he would be robbed. Suddenly a Byrd who had Ruth for him flew into the cave bearing a leter. Eag- Zlli f ill THE ALOHA OE 1917 erly our friend read it and at the same time, with a Schmeil, looked up at the sky. An aeroplane was coming toward him, and when it descended to earth he climbed into the seat. The captain said that he might Steere the plane. He could not do this very wellg for he saw that it was Fuller than he had expected. The men were fighting and Scholten each other, and in their fight several fell overboard. One man lighted in a delightful garden, without much injury excepting to his Pate. Here the Jay was flying about and the Phoebe was singing a Marie lay. However he needed the aid of a Leach and in his delirium he exclaimed: Where am 1? Was it a fairy, I just saw? I shall Hunter, by George! If I do not find her I shall Rita letter to her. O, Pfaff! it was only a man Widriglwith a rigJ. Our friend left almost a-Llelone in the aeroplane, was talking to a man by the nime of Jo, and suddenly the former exclaimed: Jo-sie! What is the matter with that man in the corner? They found out that he had taken a soothing Pill and was fast asleep. The aeroplane descended to earth and after our friend .alighted he went home a Freeman. -MARIE ERESCH. ,ii-l--ii The Junior Party The Junior Clas of the Beloit High School chose Friday evening of October 27, 1916 for the time of t eir first social gathering, which was a Hallowe'en Masquerade Party held in the Gy aslum. After those present had discovered who the queer and weirdly dressed figures were, the young people unmasked and played Progressive Witch. ' In spite of a robbery which took place in the kitchen that night, the oyster supper served in the lower hall of the school building was a success. The Misses Carpenter and Bozell, the class sponsors, acted as chaperones.

First, let us speak of the head of the class, 'Tis Forrest of course, who never takes sass. Next comes Birdie with hair so red Which she wears fluffed on the side of her head. Here's Laura and Merl, to parties they go With powdered noses and hair just so. Hale and Carleton, bashtul lads so big, We're trying our best to 'give them a dig. Clemence so fair, with skads of brown hair, When called on in class up jumps Herman so rare. Pretty LaVelle who thinks he's so smart With little specks, but a great big heart. Fern so short and Ruth so tall, In any game they can hold the ball. Long-legged Douglass, with colors so loud But he can talk politics with any old crowd. Lucile and Wilma unusually smart Who know their lessons it seems just by heart. Next Eula and Pussy, to dances they go Or once in a while to a ten cent show. There comes Dan, our football star To find his equal you'd have to go far. Next comes Pat so very sore Her grades she surely does abhor. Floyd and Delmer, who live north of town One thinks he's a sport, the other a clown. Beryl and Hazel who do not like to work In all their studies they never shirk. There's Henry, Lawrence, Swartzie and Sparks Who step out each day like four gaysome larks. Louise and Kate good cooks they'll be, If you doubt my word, just wait and see. Whitewheaded Gansel and black-headed Guy, Who never were known to tell any lies, Doris and Christie with cheeks so red, But with little hair on the top of their heads. Harry and Merton, two very good friends, Who never cared to be around the old hens. Gertrude and Gladys, two country lasses, Eillli iillil THE ALOHA OE 1917 Who get high grades in all their classes. Simp is a very happy boy, Always running over with joy. Ruth and Arden with giggles so silly Though they're very good friends of little Billie. Olive and Nettie with golden hair, When put together they make a sweet pair. Harvey and Lawrence, two football boys, Who are prized by the class as expensive toys. Ira and Lester, brothers they are They love The F'atherland in the hills afar. Edna and Zella, so winsome and sweet, The nicest girls one would want to meet. At last, comes Evan and Earl so small, It is sometimes thought, some day they'll grow tall. Now, we have told you the facts you implore And please, for our sakes don't get sore. Don't feel like you're hurt, just consider the source, For two Irish maidens wrote this of course. -G. B. and M. C. I K lm f N THE ALOHA OE 1917 Sophomore Class Histo September 2, 1915 will always be a day remembered by the Sophomores, foron that day ninety-five of Mitchell County's sturdy Freshmen strode up.the walks to the Beloit High School. We endured on that day all kinds of slams from the Juniors and Sen- iors about our greenness. We roamed the large halls hunting class rooms, we tried to pick our divisions in the classes from the schedule, which looked to us as a map of lines, but three-forty finally brought our first day's trials to a close. It was not many days until we were on the business as well as anyone. As we were rather bashful 'Freshmen it was about the middle of the first sem- ester before we had our class organization. At this time we elected Ruth Baird as president, Orwan Simpson as vice president, Forrest McMann as secretary and Fern Broadbent, treasurer. At the end of the year the majority of the class joyed over their examinations. Last fall we enthusiastically began our Sophomore year. In our turn we laughed at the blunders of the poor Freshmen, who reminded us. so much of our own exper- iences. We are sorry to learn that some of our members could not be with us again, but we still number sixty-six. The second week of school we had our class organization, at which we elected Forrest McMann, president, Gladys Baird, vice president, Harvey Mayo, secretary and treasurer, and chose orange and blue as our class colors. We' have had one very suc- cessful class party this term, at which most all the class members were present. Our class is well represented in athletics, the captain of the football team for next year having been chosen from our ranks, and the captain of this year boys' basket ball team being a Sophomore. Also the Sophomore's team was victorious in the boys' bas- ketball tournament. We survived the finals of the first semester without injury to our reputation as students. We are now striving to maintain that coveted goal of ninety per cent or ur- pass it if possible. We are looking forward to the dignity of being classed as Juniors next fall. M. C.. C. T. and D.

We then felt that We were the objects of much amusement of the higher classes but we have now entirely overcome that feeling. There were about ninety members enrolled in our class. At our first meeting, Lynn Williams, a very efficient young Freshman was elected president, Clifton Francis, vice president and Ted Smith, secretary. Our treas- urer is Ella Severance, for you see it is most important that our money tif we happen to have any on handy should be in good keeping. The Freshman class had a party on Sf. Valentine's day in the High School Gym- nasium. We considered it an important social event which indeed it was since every- one enjoyed himself. Our class had a line party to one of the basketball games. We surely did our share of cheering and rooting. You can see why 'Beloit won the game. We have had hard times mastering our lessons such as working Algebra prob- lems and translating Latin. English, at first seemed to be a great obstacle twriting themes, for exampley and General Science was a peril. But we have mastered all these studies and have come out victorious. Now we think that is quite well for a beginning. However we shall strive to do better each year as we proceed in the pursuit of knowledge, and we cherish high hopes that at the end, our labor will be crowned with success. Had a Party The Freshman Class party was held on Wednesday, February 14, in the High School Gymnasium. As it was St. Valentine's day the decorations were suitable. The time was spent in playing games and listening to music from the Victrola. Re- freshments were served at long tables in the hall. The party proved to be very success- ful as everyone enjoyed himself. Line Party at the Game The Freshman Class had a line party at the basketball game held in the High School Gymnasium January 19, with the Boys' team of Minneapolis High School. There was a large attendance on the part of the Freshmen who showed their loyalty to the Beloit team by much rooting.

H. S. Miss Carpenter spent about six weeks in giving dictation on the essentials of Exposition and Argument. About March 14th, the class decided to debate the following question: Resolved that the United States should own and control the telephone systems. Frances Byrd was chosen chairmang The debaters on the affirmative were: Thelma Stack, Viola Lyster and Ruth Biblerg and those on the negative were: Lynn Smith, Phoebe Kaser and Margaret Summers. ' n These people spent about two weeks in preparation with Miss Carpenter as coach for the negative and Mr. Oak as coach for the affirmative. The class debated the ques- tion in Chapel, March 30th. The decision was given in favor of the affirmative. The debating class thanks the coaches, Miss Carpenter and Mr. Oak for their un- tiring aid in making the debate a success. -T. S. ,K 5 urn fffr N K ' I TH 17 X E ALOHA OE 19 Football The Beloit Football squad started practice during the first week of the school year. At first the squad consisted of about twenty men, some of these falling out through the season. After about three weeks of hard, systematic practice the sea- son opened with a game with Barnard on September 29. This game proved the be- ginning of a new interest in football. A large crowd was in attendance and the root- ing was unusual for a Beloit crowd. That Beloit had a fast ground gaining team was shown by the first down of offensive play which netted a fifty yard run. It was soon evident that our coach had developed a football team that could play together. The first half of this gzme showed a score cf Beloit 21, Barnard 7. The last half was played in about the same manner and the final score was, Beloit 47, Barnard 14. The next game was with Minneapolis during the Mitchell County Fair and was witnessed by hundreds of people. Beloit again held their old rival down to defeat by a score of 66 to 0. In- this game Dan Conroy and James Farrand held the half-back positions, as Williams and Keys each had an ankle badly sprained the previous week and were still crippled. Williams alternated the remainder of the season as end and half and Keys was given the responsibility of the center position. The third game of the season was played on the Mankato gridiron against the Mankato H. S. team. It was a heavy team, cutweighing our boys by ten or twelve pounds to the man. This size was overcome by Beloit's speed and nerve and we came home with another victory, Mankato 0 and Beloit 13. The next game was scheduled with Osborne but owing to snowy and stormy weather they called the game off the evening before. By this cancellation Glasco was the next victim on our gridiron. It was hard for the Beloit back field as they had to do so many fifty yard dashes without rest. In this game D. Conroy, T. Smith, F. Jones and J. Farrand in the backfield played splen- did interference. Keys did well on goals. One kick was forfeited and out of the eleven others he secured nine points. Score, Glasco 0, Beloit 81. In the next game with Osboi ne the first half netted Beloit 24, Osborne 0. In the last quarter a, fumble gave Osborne the ball and resulted in a touchdown for them. Final score, Osborne 7, Beloit 24. Beloit journeyed to Minneapolis the following Friday. Here some rough hand- ling was given our boys but they kept their tempers unruffled and scored three touch- downs during the game. Beloit was penalized and had ground stolen from them that would amount to at least 100 yards. The score was 20 to 0. Beloit in two games with Minneapolis scored 86 points to their goose-egg. A The next trip was to Glasco. The Beloit schools closed at one o'clock and a great percentage of the school accompanied the team to Glasco. This was another walkaway and the goat which they had on the grounds was quietly led away. Score, Glasco 7, Beloit 60. In the games with Glasco we had scored 141 to their 7. Mankato came again the week before Thanksgiving. In the first quarter Keys recovered a fumble and carried it for a touchdown. In the third quarter three touch- CINE illfj THE ALOHA OE 1917 downs were scored for Beloit. Mankato scored a touchdown in the second quarter and a safety in the last quarter. Score, Mankato 9, Beloit 27. The final game of the season was on Thanksgiving day. Beloit met Ada on the Beloit gridiron before a record-breaking audience. From the first whistle the game was hard fought. It was a clean, fast game and the best held in the town for several years. The Ada team scored a touchdown in the first few minutes, Tom Smith soon scored its mate for Beloit, and Keys tied the score with a good kick. The second quar- ter gained nothing for either team. In the third quarter Williams missed an Ada run- ner and at the end of the quarter the score stood, Ada 14, Beloit 7. In the last quarter Smith scored another touchdown and again Keys tied the score. After this the Beloit team was running away with the game when the final whis- tle blew. At the close of the game Beloit had four yards to go and three downs re- maining. Final score, Ada 14, Beloit 14. This closed an undefeated season for the Be- loit High School football team. The Beloit team scored 352 against their opponents' 50. The following people with the help of a strong line and good defense were able to make touchdowns: T. Smith, Doc Jones, D. Conroy, J. Farrand, Keys, M. Jones and C. Williams. To the excellent handling of the team in action by Captain Jones and the sup- ervision and instruction of Coach McGinnis in practice, who, though a new man. soon won the confidence of the entire squad, to the backing of Superintendent Steen and the support of the school and the business mcn of the town we owe, in a large measure. our success, The team after eating toast and milk for Thanksgiving dinner were royally en- tertained the following week by the faculty and Mrs. E. N. Daniels at the home of Dr, and Mrs. Daniels. Mrs. Daniels had been a loyal supporter and consistent fan during the entire season. The following men graduate this spring from the line-up: Doc Jones, T. Smith, Keys, Jas. Farrand, Jno. Farrand and Will Conroy. To all of these men may be given honorable mention as individual stars of the season along with D. Conroy, L. Rouen and Evan Park of the under classes. The season's line-up was as follows: Keys, cg M. Jones, rg, Park, rtg Rouen, reg Jno. Farrand and M. Fuller, lg, W. Conroy, ltg Williams and Daniels, leg Smith, qg Doc Jones, fg Jas. Farrand .and C.

A Short Sketch of the Basketball Girls as They Are in the Game Ruth Baird, right forward, is the star of the team. If Ruth's first trial does not send the ball through the goal, it is the second that is sure to, for all it lacked was the jump which is her chief characteristic in goal shooting. Mildred Doyle, guard, is always on the alert and when she gets the ball it is sure to go clear across the court, for she surely has some swing in her right arm. Harriette Dunham, guard, whose hands always seem to magnetize the ball, has sidetracked many a ball which was on its straight course to the goal. Mary Morrell, jumping center, has learned to hold her own. Although it is un- mannerly in most instances to take advantage of the small, it was the good luck of the team that they left that rule out of our book. Mary's opponent, in most instances, was smaller than she, and many are the balls she has rescued as they soared above and sent them to her forwards. ,Fern Broadbent, running center, although our smallest member, is alert to all signals, even those of the opposing team. Furthermore, as a forward she is certainly fine. Just when you least expect it, and how she does it no one knows, but she will throw over a tall guard from the edge of the court and the ball will go through the goal just as though it were being guided by an invisible hand. Her ability as a for- ward was shown only in the class games and in practice, as she was a necessity in the center during matched games. Blanche Brooke, sub, had many opportunities to show her ability as a guard. It often looked as though she might have springs in her shoes to keep her bouncing so she might have her forward under control. Ruth Cline, sub, is glad to be included in the team. Even though she hasn't yet played in a game, we are looking for three years good playing from her. Like Fern, she is small and a reliable running center. Pearl Sparks, captain and left forward, is certainly proud of her team and has only two regrets for her basketball course of three years: One is the defeat at Man- kato and the other is that she will not be there to enjoy the real sport next year. TEAM WORK WHICH IS OFTEN CARRIED OUT IN FULL IN A GAME. Ball thrown up in center, Mai-y tips to Fern, Fern throws to Ruth, Ruth to Pearl and Pearl puts it through the goal. - Ball thrown up in center, Mary tips to Fern, Fern throws back to Mary, Mary to Pearl, Pearl to Ruth, and before you know it, the referee blows his whistle and holds up two fingers, and of course you all know what that means. Individual points in the games were as follows: Baird, 175. Sparks, 128. l I Ill ' THE ALOHA OE 1 RESULT OF GAMES Beloit ..... ,.,4 ,,,,,,, 2 9 Mankato , Beloit ...., ....... 4 8 Clyde .,...

SOPHOMORES Although the Seniors were outclassed, they did their best and would have made a better showisg if they had not worked as experiment with ether that afternoon. It seemed to make them sleepy. FRESHMEN VS. SOPHOMORES This was a very interesting game and much enthusiasm was shown on the part of the FRESHMEN boys. It ended with a victory for the Sophies and as the Juniors could not hustle up a team, it left the Sophomores champions of the B. H. S. inter-class games. H 0 i V It J f .IDI THE ALOHA OE 1917 The Boy's Basketball Team Harry Schroth, captain and guard on the team is always so intent on getting the ball that he is not always as graceful as he might be, so personal fouls are not unknown to him. Nevertheless he is a match for the best of them. Dial Nolan, forward, is the star of the team. He is surely swift, and the yell from the opponents when he gets the ball is usually Get him boys, for they know he is a sure shot in open field. Jay Roberts, forward, has fooled many of them by showing them that the best is not always done up in large packages and has made the score grow. Merton Fuller, guard. 0, No! He is not playing Pussy wants a corner. I-Ie just likes that corner real well and gets his share of the balls that come there even if he does have to rough 'em up a little. , Earl Treaster, center, just the one for the place, out jumps them all. When the ball is being played he takes his place near the goal and rolls the balls in as fast as he gets them. Lester Shamburg, sub. Here he comes and there he goes, never still, alw.ays where he ought not to be so the opponent thinks. Fred Sparks, sub, is Fritzie on the spot to help them all when in a tight place, and ready to pass the ball on a little nearer its destiny. A Vernon Daniels, sub. Well! maybe by the time he is a Senior he will be over his stage fright, Though he is small, he would not let even Jewell City's big center bluff him. RESULT OF GAMES Beloit ...... Beloit ......

Both men are boosters in every way and especially in athletics. Mr. Steen has stood back of our athletic department and brought athletics in closer touch with our school work. Through his care our finances have not suf- tered and our athletic department has become a paying proposition. Coach McGinnis has been in direct charge of our sports and has certainly made good. He is on to his job .and a wideawake fellow. His real interest which he takes in sports makes him invaluable as an athletic instructor. Both Mr. Steen and Coach McGinnis have sought the support of the student body in promoting our sports. They have awakened a real, true, school spirit which will not die. Too much credit cannot be given these men. They have made firm friends of those who occupied positions on the various teams and we sincerely wish that when our '17-'18 campaign starts they will again be in command. -L. S.
