THE CROW HISTORY OF THE BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL The history of the Beloit High School could be made a long d1'3XV11 out story of a.ll tl1e events and hardships it has gone through before it became the well established institution that it is today. But we will make the long story short and formulate some -of the most important events which are of interest. In 1879 the school was held in a small building, located about the same place as the present one. The course consisted mostly of ancient lithographs, called history, combined with a little physics and psychology to make it more enjoyable. The students, who went through this course, recommended it so highly to others that the enrollment greatly increased and the call came for more space and teachers. This was readily granted by tl1e generous people of Beloit, and bonds were raised to the amount of S20,000.00.. A building' was erected, known as the central building which served as a nucleus for further additions until tl1e up-to-date building of 1914 was completed. From this time on Bel-oit High School was honored with the ranking of o11e of the best.high schools in the state of Kansas. It has maintained this rank despite the fact that Beloit only enjoyed the use of its modern building for the period of four years. On September 21, 1918, to the sorrow of a.ll the citizens and students, this building was completely destroyed by fire. The shock lasted only a short time, until the forces were recuperated under the noble supervision of Superintend- ent XV. O. Steen, who was able to meet any occasion. School was resumed in the various churches, which were willingly given for the development of higher learning. Plans were immediately started for a larger and more modern fire- proof building. The neccessary funds were raised and erection was started in August, 1919, under the supervision of M. E. Brady, a local contractor. Owing to the war, scarcity of labor and material, completion was delayed until April 4, 1921, but this allowed the class of this year to graduate in one of the very best and most complete High School buildings in the state.
