The purpose of the student council is: first, to promote all student activities, second, through cooperation with the faculty and administraion of the school to secure a hig'h standard of high school life, third, to create and maintain a school spirit by giving opportunity through the council for student sentiment to express itself for the good of the school. The recommendations and suggestions made by the council for the good of the school will receive the careful consideration of the principal and faculty. This year the student council has regulated the prices for admission to games and through cooperation with the administration secured a Hobo Day, similar to the one observed last year. This was an all-school holiday and a time for general celebration. During the past year the council was composed of 16 members. The officers were: Kenneth Wehl, presidentg Ronald Fleck, vice-president, Beulah Wills, secretaryg and Charlotte Bartleson, treasurer. The members and the organizations they rep- resent were: Beulah VVills, Ronald Fleck, Senior classg Charlotte Bartleson, Tommy Smyth, Junior class, Louise Lins, Roland Anderson, Sophomore classy Nelda Trout- man, Ernest Deschner, Freshman class, Edwin Shurtz, Hi-Y, Louise Cooke, Girl Reserve, Wilmer Colby, Athletics, Leo Gaston, B.

Q-FE-3 HEN the Beloit High School opened its doors for the school term of 1923 and '24 there were admitted one hundred twenty-six of the greenest freshmen who had ever entered B. H. S. Although they were green, they were quick to learn the intricacies of high school life. For their leaders in this period of learning they chose Kenneth Creitz, presidentg Rex Troutman, vice-presidentg and Bertha Heiman, secretary and treasurer. In this year the activities of the class were rather limited, as the Freshmen were busy learning the things expected of them. During the Sophomore year the class made itself known through its activities in music and athletics. The officers of the class this year were James Dean, pres- identg Maxine Shaffer, vice-presidentg Louise Green, secretary- and treasurer. The Sophomores had two social events during the year, the party given at the Club House in the fall, and the picnic at Solomon Rapids. Although the class became well known during its Sophomore year it was through its activities in 1925 and '26 that its fame was well established. For this eventful year the officers were James Dean, presidentg Evelyn Eustace, vice-presidentg Maxine Shaffer, secretaryg and Bernese Smith, treasurer. The Juniors gave for their play, And Home Came Ted, which was a very great success. In the spring of the year they were hosts to the Seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet which was given at the Christian church. Besides these accomplishments the class was well represented in athletics, and music, in fact, both leads in the operetta, The Belle of Barcelona, were members of the -Junior class. These parts were taken by Neita Henderson and Kenneth Creitz. As a crown of the four years of high school life, came the Senior year, in which the class excelled even its former excellent record. Some definite contributions the Seniors made to the school life were six football letter men, five basket ball letter- men, five debaters, and all but two of the characters of the operetta. The Seniors also gave their play, The VVhole Town's Talking, and made a very decided success of it. Another success for the Seniors was the reception which was given for the Juniors, March 26, in the high school building. The Commencement exercises were held in the auditorium May 19. The officers for this closing chapter of the high school life of the Senior class of 1927 were James Dean, presidentg Bertha Heiman, vice-presidentg Maxine Shaffer, secretaryg and Rex Troutman, treasurer. To the classes who will take our place in the life of Beloit High School we issue the challenge to equal or surpass the record we have made in our four years in high school. kx - L-ABHS-A EMMA ARMOUR General Course G.

The games with Jewell City and Delphos were indeed disappointing from the standpoint of scores but the new and green team showed marked improvement after each game. Not until the Osborne game did the boys find them- selves and we won 24-0. The next week we met the strong Glen Elder team, undefeated for two years. It was a hard fought game. The Glen Elder boys showed wonderful team play. Beloit deserved to win, with more yardage and a tighter defense. Charles Brooks broke into the limelight with a 50 yard run through a broken field for-a touchdown. Shurtz kicked a drop kick for a mere 45 yards to beat them 10-0. Then came another blow. We journeyed down to Minneapolis and found that our trick plays proved to be the best play they had and Minneapolis won. The bitterest of all-was to lose to our old rival, Concordia. With Shurtz and Gotschall both on the hospital list and facing the best team Concordia ever had, things looked very dark. But even with these odds against them Beloit displayed a fighting spirit that will Never say die. With a few minutes to play and Beloit leading 7-6, Concordia completed a pass to win 12-7. . We defeated Belleville 30-0 in a game that was more one-sided than the score indicates. Beloit gaining 325 yards to their 90 yards. ' The tie game with Smith Center was indeed one of the outstanding features of the season. Smith Center, considered to be one of the best teams we met, was expected to beat us 30 points, but with our defense at its best, Smith Center failed to score. Smith Center was saved from defeat in the second half when the referee recalled a pass that had gone for a touchdown because some of the crowd had pushed out on the field. Lincoln was next. They had a big team with a good full back. In the second half they couldn't stand the gaff any longer and Beloit smashed over a touch- down. In this game Colby completed six consecutive passes. On Thanksgiving Day Clay Center beat us 9-0. With their team averaging 175 they could not push over a touchdown, so had to resort to place kicking and they kicked three goals for nine points. Most of the team were Sophomores and Juniors and of the seventeen men who earned their letters ten will be back, so the prospects of a winning team next year are three times greater than this years. Shurtz, captain and quarter, bore the brunt of the offense. He is a half back but of necessity shifted to quarter. With the exception of Colby and Shurtz the entire team will be back. W0 JBHS- l J - as as I so I I IKE CAUGHEY CHAS. BROOKS EDWIN SHURTZ LEE GOTSCHALL WM. FINNEY Center Right Half CAPTAIN Fullback Left End - Quarterback Q IKE CAUGHEY. Ike played a hard, steady game and always had the chatter. He was an accurate passer and was strong on defense. When the opponents sent a play through the center of the line Ike usually stopped it. Since Ike is a Junior he will be back fighting hard next year. CHARLES BROOKS. Brooks showed unusual ability in maneuvering behind the line. He was a good tackler and a good pass receiver as well as a broken field runner. Ask him what he did in the Glen Elder game. He will be here next year. EDWIN SHURTZ. Ed was a natural leader, a gentleman at all times and possessing a world of ability. He was willingto take a chance and never'saved himself. Because he is a three year man Qtwice captainj with a good passing arm, a wonderful punt, and uncanny run which made him a good broken field runner, he will be greatly missed as we lose him by graduation. LEE GOTSCHALL. Gotschall, playing his third year at full back, was one of the strongest factors of our team. His line smashing and interference running was goodi He was good at backing up the line, and was a passer as well as a pass receiver. His ability in the backfield was a great help to the team. He will be back next year. K WILLIAM FINNEY. Finney, captain-elect for 1927-28, was chosen by an over- whelming majority. He has plenty of power, speed and ability to lead. He played a good game at end this year. Great things are expected from him next year.

Bunch had a habit of getting in the way of every play the opponents sent his way'. He always played a hard, steady game and was a force to be reckoned with. He will be missed next year. EVERETT BROWN. Brown had plenty of power and ability. He would manage to break through the opponents' line and tear up their plays. Brown is a Junior so we are looking forward to his accomplishments on the gridiron next year. V FENTON McALLISTER. Mac, football, basket ball, and track coach, deserves much credit for our successes in all athletic achievements. We are proud of our teams but back of them was a hard working- promoter, a real coach and an efficient manager. During his two years in B. H. S. he has gained much popularity among his teams. This is one of the greatest signs of appreciation that could he given him for his untiring' efforts. Kenneth Wehl. Wehl helped make our line strong by serving in the capacity of right guard. He was a fearless and powerful player and when the play he backed was called we could always count on a gain. Wehl is a player who will be hard to 1'eplace. GLEN PAGETT. Pagett, the only Freshman on the squad, proved to be a ball lugger, good safety man and a good punter when he was called on-. Great things are expected of him in his next three years on the gridiron. .ABHS-4 . ORVILLE GASKILL ROBERT STEWART WILMER COLBY DARWIN KISSINGER Sub Guard Left Guard Right Guard Sub Center ORVILLE GASKILL, Gaskill was a good man who could be put in at any time at either guard or tackle position. When he was fighting, no small man could block the line like he could. We expect much from him next year. ROBERT STEWART. Robert was always in the plays. Although not so large as some, he could play a good game in the line. He was a good tackler and was fast. He will be back next year. WILMER COLBY. Colby was a speedy one. He could always be counted on to snag a pass or break up the enemy's interference. The fact that he was small accounted for the enemy's frequent lack of judgment when they sent plays around his end. Colby graduates this year. DARWIN KISSINGER. When Darwin was in the game, either at guard or center, he always played well. When he hit an opponent, that man was stopped. He will be back next year.

Kenneth was a good sub for end, he was fast and Acould be counted on to receive passes when they came his way. Although he did not have a permanent position, when he got into the game he played hard.

Briney, although just a sub, played a good game, when he was given a chance. He was fast and if he ever got loose, the chances for a touch- down were good. Watch him next year! w TOMMY SMYTH. Tommy, although small, was an able substitute for either end position. He was fast and a good tackler. He will be playing next year. .ABI-ls-C BACK ROW-Coach McAllister, Azrthur Tice, Edwin Shurtz, Lee Gotschall, Kenneth Wehl, Ralston Culp, Wilmer Colby, Kenneth Creitz SECOND ROW--Everett Brown, Glen Pagett, Herbert Knox, VVillis Lobdell, Harold Conley, Stewart Barker. , FIRST ROW-Lyle Briney, Ralph Kern, Bill Owen, Rex Pagett Varsity Basketball Beloit had a fast aggressive team this year and had a good season. The schedule was rather torn up, due to the epidemic of scarlet fever and mumps, which in turn had its effect upon the team. The two defeats to Asherville were the outstanding events never before accomplished by Beloit. In the game with Asherville Bud Culp played his best basket ball of the season, displaying wonderful ability at hitting the basket and passing. We took our defeats from two towns and one of those was Concordia. P Wilmer Colby was the outstanding player of the season, both on offense and defense. Shurtz and Gotschall formed a defense that was hard to penetrate. At the District Tournament we won from Belleville and lost to Concordia in the semi-finals, 24-18.

He was an accurate goal shooter, had good floor work, and his passing and dribbling was a hard combination for the enemy to solve. Bud is a Senior and will be greatly missed next year. - Lee Gotschall, Captain of this yea1 s 'basket ball machine, has made one of the best records as a guard in this part of the country. Lee had plenty of speed and skill in handling the ball which was a great asset to the team. His excellent defense accounts for the low scores made by the opposition. Lee is a three letter man and will be with us again next year. Edwin Shurtz, running guard, was an all 'round player. Ed's accurate goal shooting and floor work made him a valuable man to the team. Ed played a stellar game at guard all season and was always feared by the opponents' offensive players. Ed is a Senior, whose place will be hard to fill next year. M-BHSM Kenneth Wehl Wilmer Colby Kenneth Creitz ' Guard Forward Center Kenneth .Wehl, guard, played a stellar game all season. His defense was a valued cog in Be1oit's machine.

Wilmer Colby, forwardg a fast, clever boy, with a wonderful pivot and a deadly shot. His passing and floor work is excelled by none. He has won the admiration of all and conceded to be the best forward in this part of the state. We'llxmiss him. Kenneth Creitz played the center of the floor and in team work he was not surpassed. Ken had a dead eye shot for the basket and always had the fight of B. H. S. He was a fast man going down the floor and always bothered opposing guards. Ken graduates this spring. -ABHSL Fenton McAllister, Willis Lobdell, Bill Owen, Glen Pagett, Ralph Kern, Harold Conley, Rex Pagett, Stewart Barker. Freshman Squad This is the first year that Beloit put a Freshman team in the field and played a schedule. The Freshmen are indeed in a class by themselves. They won two games from Lincoln, one from St. John and lost one to Concordia. Besides their games they played in second team games and were often' substituted in varsity games. The most outstanding players were Pagett and Conley. They were possibly second only to Colby in passing and speed-on the court. Pagett is an exceptional floor man and Conley a good shot. Barker, Lobdell and Kerns are developing into classy guards. . .-4Bl'lS- E l Wanda Lee Stack, Alma Gotschall, Margaret Wilson, Miss Chittenden, Margaret Morris, Helen Louise Smith, Kathryn Stewart Efficiency Meet For the first time Beloit High School was represented at the Physicial Efficiency meet at the Kansas State Teachers College at Hays, March 26, 1927. Competing with sixteen other teams placed 5th, which was an excellent showing at the first attempt. ' The purpose of the Efficiency Meet is to encourage the promotion of healthful and recreational physical exercise among all high school girls. This meet was arranged last year to take the place of a girls' basket ball tournament which has formerly been held at Hays every year. Miss Mary Chittenden, physical instructor in B. H. S., directed the team of six girls in preparation for the meet and much credit is due her. The team was Wanda Lee Stack, Margaret Morris, Kathryn Stewart, Margaret Wilson, Alma Gotschall and Helen Louise Smith. The events in which the girls took part were spirometer test, basket ball race, stunts, folk dances and co-ordination tests. ' It is hoped that B. H. S. can continue to be represented in all the future meets of this kind. -ABHS-a Track C513 ECAUSE the year book goes to press before any of the inter-scholastic track meets, we have only the results of the class track meet on which to base our predictions of a successful track season. The class track meet was held April 6 and was won by the Seniors. The Juniors, Freshmen and Sophomores ranked second, third and fourth respectively. Lyle Briney, a Junior, scoring 19 points, was high point man. The prospects for a successful season are unusually good. Brooks and Briney are working good. Briney's running broad jump of 20' feet 4 inches in the class track meet shows that he will be hard to beat in that event. Creitz, captain, is showing up well in both the half-mile and mile, while Colby in the high jump, 100 and 220 yard dashes is displaying much ability. The point winners in the hurdles, discus and shot-put are Ellis Creitz and Kenneth Wehl. Two Freshmen, Conley and G. Pagett, show much promise. Conley took first place in the 50 and 100 yard dash, while Pagett took first in the pole vault. These two men will develop into track men of great ability.

At the beginning of the debate season Miss Jeanette Peery, coach of the debate teams, conducted a class for all students interested in debate, preparing them for the league debates. Although part of the class did not take part in the debates, they are to be commended for their assistance and support of the teams. The debate question for 1927 was: Resolved, that there should be established a Federal Department of Education with a secretary in the President's cabinet. The affirmative team was Bernese Smith, Louise Bardrick and Herbert Knox, and the negative Robert Fulton, Charlotte Bartleson and Ronald Fleck. The schedule for the league debates was: Concordia Affirmative-1 Beloit Negative-2 Beloit Affirmative-0 Concordia Negative-3 Beloit Affirmative-0 Mankato Negative-3 Washington Affirmative-2 Beloit Negative-1 Besides the league debates, the two teams debated Downs, Formosa and Lebanon. having no decisions.

It has an active membership of forty-nine girls. Membership in the athletic association is open to any girl who has earned one hundred points in either of the various sports: soccer basket ball, base ball. volley ball, tennis, hiking or dancing. In order to earn one hundred points in each of these, one must attend three-fourths of the practices and play one-fouith of the games. When one hundred points have been earned, an emblem is awarded by the school. After five emblems have been earned, they can be exchanged for an official athletic UB . The purpose of the association is to encourage indoor and outdoor sports, to promote good sportsmanship and give every girl in school a chance to keep herself physically fit. Miss Mary Chittenden, physical training director, accompanied a team of six girls to Hays, March 26, 1927, to take part in the Efficiency Meet. The girls chosen to go were Margaret Morris, Wandalee Stack, Helen Louise Smith, Alma Gotschall, Margaret Wilson and Katherine Stewart. The board of advisors of the athletic association is composed of three faculty members: Miss Chittenden, Miss Matney and Miss Gifford, and the officers, who were Telva Gholson, President, Dorothy Butler, Vice-president, Opal Clanin, Secre- taryg Fern Johnson, Treasurer. ! ..-BHS-.

Life Before 1919 there was no B. H. S. Life. However, small pamphlets were used to publish the news of the school and to advertise its activities. That year A. R. Loop called together the teachers to decide on a permanent school paper and its name. The result was the B. H. S. Life, then only a four columned paper, instead of the present five columns. All the news was collected by class correspondents and the teachers supervised the work. For awhile it was published in magazine form. All work was done outside of school hours. In 1924 theAJournalism class was organized for the study of printing styles, newspaper methods of writing and anything con- cerning journalism. In preceding years the B. H. S. Life has always been entered in newspaper contests. This year during March the B. H. S. Life was entered by the staff in the Kansas High School newspaper contest of K. S. A. C., the Rock Mountain High School newspaper contest of the Colorado University, and the All-American news- paper contest of the Minnesota University. The Journalism class of 1926-27 was organized differently from previous classes. Each member of the staff had a new position every six weeks, thus adding variety to the paper and giving experience to the staff members. The class has published the Life very successfully during 1926-27 and they leave a standard for succeeding classes to live up to. ' ...........-.4.BHS si...-.....

Jails- ' The Class Prophec Q. ,ff L Y 'J 1' U CHOOL was out and ,little Bud Culp tripped lightly down the street, his heart was light and his mind was free from school and all its trouble. Never again was his mind to be burdened with such things as school for he had his hard earned diploma under his -arm, and at last he was free. I To celebrate the grand occasion he decided to take a little, tramp into the woods, for he was in his usual high spirits and was just as energetic as ever. He walked briskly along and Jgot several miles away from town before he realized he was slightly fatigued. So he found a nice grassy spot beside a babbling brook and unwound himself beside this pretty little brook and settled down for a little nap. ' f The day was quite warm and the walk had tired him more than such things usually did, so he soon was fast asleep. How long he slept he knew not, but when he awakened he could hardly believe his eyes. The pretty babbling -brook was gone and in its place a mighty river was rushing by. This startled Bud and he began to look around further. He looked for his prized diploma and it was nowhere in sight. He was horrified when he glanced down at his own clothes, and found in place of his beautiful new suit a tattered and ragged and dirty affair. He blinked sleepily and looked around, stroking his chin as he did so and to his surprise he had a full grown beard upon his face. Well, all this was too much for poor Bud and he started to run, but his joints were so stiff and sore that he stopped immediately. However, he finally succeeded in finding the road and started in the direction of Beloit. After walking for several hours he came to a little village which he thought surely must be Asherville but cn Inquiry he learned that it was his old home town of Beloit. He asked the time of day of some one and also found out that it was June 1, 1940 and then he realized that he had had a little longer nap than he had intended to take. Nevertheless, this did not seem to worry him, but he was interested in finding out what had become F5 il Clif-S: -.,s ga- px of his old classmates who had suffered with him for four years.
