Class History) XN the year of 1925 we were organized in that noble institution, Beloit High School, as a class of students so young, so tender, so awkward and so blushing that it was apparent even to ourselves that we were Freshmen. Nevertheless this did not prevent our having a year of successes. We chose for our class officers Isaac Caughey, president; Helen Walker, vice-president; Margaret Freeman, secretary; and Rexford Hodler, treasurer. There were two social functions during the year, a picnic at Wood’s grove and a party in the gym. In our Sophomore year, the class distinguished itself in musical and athletic lines, in fact four of the operetta cast of “The Belle of Barcelona” were chosen from the Sophomore class. The officers that year were John Eresch, president; Ben Leonard-, vice-president; Loraine Gregory, secretary; and Wallace McKinnie, treasurer. There was one social event during the year, a picnic at the club-house. We, as Juniors, having withstood the sneers hurled at Freshies, and having won in our Sophomore year a prestige unrivaled in the history of this institution, entered the year ’27 a strong, well organized body, with Ben Leonard, president; Lila Mc-Gaughey, vice-president; Emma Jeanne Cole, secretary; and Earl Fletcher, treasurer. W’e gave for our play “Am I Intruding,” which was a great success. In the spring of the year we were hosts to the Seniors at a banquet of true pirate fashion. In addition, the Juniors had an enjoyable Thanksgiving party. At the end of four years we find ourselves “Seniors”—That cry rings like sweet music in our ears. When we were Freshies, that seemed to be the highest attainment in life, but now we are here clad in the full glory of our wisdom, with the solemn prestige that hovers around one of our position, we have carried away the highest honors in football, debate, basketball, scholastic work, music and dramatics. We have entertained the Juniors at a reception, have given a play “The Judsons Entertain” and made a decided success of it. The commencement exercises were held in the auditorium May 20. The officers for this last year of our high school life, as the Senior class of 1928, were Ben Leonard, president; Lyle Briney, vice-president; Mary Jordan, secretary and Tommy Smyth, treasurer. To the future classes of Beloit High School we issue the challenge to equal or surpass the record we have made in our four years of high school life.
