Miss Bollman, and Miss Kirtland CLASS HISTORY In 1927, about forty-five green and gawky Freshmen entered the portals of B. H. S. We were those Freshmen, starting out upon our high school career with hope in our hearts which was not dimmed by the many taunts we received from upper classmen. Dan Morris was elected president of our class, Charlotte Olson, vice president, and Josephine Cole, sec retary-t reasu rer. But we soon overcame those obstacles with which all Freshmen are afflicted and became Sophomores. This year we celebrated our advent to this position with a picnic at the park. Our officers were: President, Robert McClelland: vice president, Maxine Pet-terson, ; secretary-treasurer, Mildred Lummis. Our third year in high school proved to be a great success. The Junior play, The Manacled Man, received much favorable Oi comment. We entertained the Seniors at a rainbow banquet. The class went to Downs for a picnic. The officers who so skillfully engineered this year were: President, Marvin Peden: vice president, Arnold Heiman: secretary-treasurer, Dale Shurts. Now we have arrived at the position called Seniors. We look back over four years in B. H. S. and find them extremely happy ones. Our officers this year were: Dale Shurts, president; Charlotte Olson, vice president: Mildred Lummis, secretary-treasurer. A reception was given for the Junior class members in the gymnasium in Japanese style. Sneak Day was celebrated in a most satisfying manner. The tale is told, and in the words of Omar the tentmaker: The moving finger writes; and, having writ, moves on.

The club has worked together this year for the purpose of promoting pep and creating a school spirit. The costumes of the pep club are cleverly designed in the school colors. The leaders wear black trousers and bolero jackets with orange shirts, and the regular members wear white trousers and shirts with orange and black ties. Each member is supplied with a megaphone printed with letters, “B. II. S.” Members were chosen by school authorities to represent all classes and organizations of the school. The duty of each active member is to attend all games possible and promote good sportsmanship. EDITOR ........... JOSEPHINE COLE LITERARY EDITOR . CHARLOTTE OLSON SPORTS EDITOR .

GERTRUDE KIRTLAND One day upon opening the door of Room 109, 1 was immediately confronted with the sight of people tearing back and forth across the room and all talking at once. One person was giving orders to all, and noticing that nobody heeded them, she repeated them more loudly. Two people were seen pasting snapshots crooked on a piece of cardboard to give a modernistic effect, which was a blessing, because they could never have pasted them on straight. In another corner a wild eyed youth was adding the sums of the deficits aloud, while someone else, evidently interested in sports, was recalling some of the spectacular plays of the season. Behind a history map two frightened people were trying to draw pictures. Various others were pounding typewriters, talking and writing—helping to create the general peaceful atmosphere. At the front of the room sat a woman in a state of nervous collapse, who seemed to be in charge of these terrible people. Insane asylum? Why no—I had merely walked into the room where the annual staff was preparing copy for the “Saga.” The annual staff was chosen at the beginning of the school year from the Senior class members. At its first meeting, it was decided to publish the book with a modernistic theme, and this idea was carried throughout the book. This book was made possible by the splendid cooperation of the staff and students. TOP ROW: Robert McClelland. Paul Tuck: r, Robert Annan.

Are all the papers delivered?”—“No, here are Miss Brown's papers and I can’t find her room.”—“She has art this period. You’ll find her class in Mr. Iiees’ room downstairs.” The bell rings just as the last papers are delivered. The commotion in room 109 stops for only a while; then the newspaper reporters return to see if all the papers were correctly delivered; if there will be any particular assignment for the coming day and lastly to deliver the outside subscriptions. This is all a picture of the journalism staff on the Friday evening the paper comes out. The B. II. S. Life published its first edition in the year 1919, and since that time has been the bearer of the official news of the events and activities of the Beloit High School. A Journalism Class was established in 1924. The Journalism Class publishes the official school news every two weeks. The feature copy of this year’s journalism class was issued at Christmas in magazine form. f A? V PRESIDENT .... RACHEL DONABAUER FINANCE CHAIRMAN .. OLIVE GENTRY VICE PRESIDENT .

WINIFRED LESLIE MISS MILDRED GUARD GIRL RESERVES The (Jii l Reserves Club ot the Beloit High School, which is a sub-division of the well known national organization, the Y. W. C. A., was organized in 1921. Since that time it has been very successful in creating a true friendly spirit among the girls. The blue triangle, which is their standard, represents the social, moral, and physical sides of life. This organization meets every Friday afternoon. The program is devoted to the discussion of some particular part of the code. Some very inspirational services are presented by the Girls’ Reserve, such as the Installation ot Officers, the Christinas and Easter Services, and the Senior Farewell. These programs are made beautiful by the G. R. candle service which is very impressive. The Girl Reserves calendar usually includes two social events. The fiist social this year was a joint IliA and G. R. picnic, and the second a . Iotheis and Daughters Banquet. Both socials were very successful and added to the friendly spirit of the organization. Every girl in high school is given the opportunity to become a G. R. member and once she becomes an active member of this organization it is her duty “To Find And Give The Best.” vs HI-Y PRESIDENT .... ROBERT McCLELLAND VICE PRESIDENT ..

This club has grown until it lias a membership of fifty-nine boys. In each of its four ideals, that of spiritual, physical, mental, and social development, the Ili-Y Club has met with splendid success and its influence has been felt throughout the school. Early in the fall the Ili-Y enjoyed a joint picnic with the G. R. Later in the year a Fathers’ and Sons’ Banquet was given for the purpose of giving the fathers an opportunity to understand the character and work of the club. Each Friday the Ili-Y holds its meeting. These meetings are given to the discussion of current topics, and the members are often addressed by men who are interested in the work of the club. The Hi-Y has also sponsored several very interesting chapel programs. Any boy, who will sign the pledge of the Hi-Y with the purpose of fulfilling its requests, may become a member of the club.

It is the story of three girls who try their hands at managing a tea room. The complications which result are both thrilling and amusing, but the play turns out happily after all. The cast chosen from the Junior Class showed extraordinary talent and ability in their performance, but much credit should go to Miss Doris Ilun-dertmark, who coached the play.

The plot concerns the adventures of a young man, Jerry, who tries to win the heart of Hulda. He meets with immediate success as far as Hulda herself is concerned but many complications arise before the happy ending is reached. The chorus was very large and well-trained and helped to make the operetta most pleasing. Maxine Petterson accompanied the group. A feature of the entertainment was a dance by Maxine Young and Dorothy McClanahan. SENIOR PLAY •GETTING SANDY” (Cast) Sandy McNabb, an invalid ................

Harold Scoggan The Senior play, “Getting Sandy,” was given May 12, in the high school auditorium. The play chosen was a tliree-act comedy by Ida Reid Preston. The scene was laid in a living room in the home of Sandy McNabb, who lives in a small New England village. When the curtains part, Sandy and his sister, Martha Watkins, are arguing about Sandy’s sweetheart, Debby Green, who has gone west to take care of her brother's children. We learn that after sin- left Sandy became ill and through the efforts of his sister and her scheming husband, has grown steadily worse. His condition now is such that Martha and her husband have compelled him to deed all his property to them and are now merely waiting for him to die. Their plans are frustrated however, when Nan Stillman, Sandy's niece, arrives and decides that he is not going to die. With her aid and the aid of Debby, who also arrives, Sandy is put on the road to health and every one is happy. The play was given under the capable supervision of Miss Winifred Ober. - TOP ROW: Margaret DeShazo, Alma Wiese, Warren McGee, Thayer Carmichael, Raymond Ward, Rachel Donabauer. BOTTOM ROW: Ralph Jordan, Winifred Leslie, Boyd Finney, Alice DEBATE Late in November, ten interested and enthusiastic students organized a debate squad. Immediately each member began preparation to debate the question, “Resolved: That chain stores are detrimental to the best interests of the American public.” This question is of current interest and each debater found it interesting to work upon. In preparation for the debate tournament, debates were held with several neighboring schools: Lincoln, Salina, Minneapolis, and Smith Center. During these debates each member of the squad was given an opportunity to debate. For the tournament debates Rachel Donabauer and Winifred Leslie were chosen to debate affirmatively and Warren McGee and Boyd Finney, negatively. At the tournament Beloit ranked high enough in the rounds of debates to be admitted to the finals. There the squad ranked fourth. PRESIDENT ...... DOROTHY LEONARD VICE PRES........

A. A. was organized in Beloit High School in 1925. This organization was created for the purpose of promoting an interest in girls9 athletics and to offer a variety of sports in which all girls are asked to take part. Each girl who earns five-hundred points out of the possible six-hundred is awarded with a “B”, bearing the initials, “G. A. A.” To earn these five-hundred points a girl must participate in five G. A. A. activities, attending ten of each practises and always displaying good sportsmanship to the best of her ability. All high school girls are asked to join G. A. A. and may become members by paying a small fee. Each girl after becoming a member, is expected to attend all practises possible and join in the fun and jollity of the organization.

Though only one-third of the games played resulted in victories, Coach White and his men are to be commended on their sportsmanship and clean play which prevailed throughout the season. This season’s team suffered the loss of many of last year's letter men and good progress was made in training men to fill these vacancies. This season was valuable in experiencing first year men, and much promising material is available for next year’s eleven. t 3 A GERALD WALLACE Q. B.—2 Years “Wallie” was a fast, heady player who always played a hard frame. He made B. H S a good quarter-back, and was an important factor in the aerial rame by his accurate passing. We lose “Wallie” by graduation. n HOWARD THOMPSON (Capt. R. T. 2 Years Howard proved an able leader of this year's squad, and a great football player. His enthusiasm kept the men fighting through every game, and when Thomnson graduates this year, B. H. S. will lose a player whose place will be hard to fill. DALE SHURTS L. T.- i Year Red” made a good linesman for Beloit and held that position most of the season. He is noted for his spirited playing and Beloit will lose a fighter when Dale leaves this year. ERNEST DESCHNER L. E.—1 Year Although only his first year, Ernie landed the end position and held it by playing a steady game all season. He had plenty of size and could be counted upon for his part in every play. Deschner will graduate this year. PAUL TUCKER L. T.—1 Year “Tommy” came to Beloit from Lawrence as a letter man in football, and held the right tackle position until he sustained a broken jaw in the Ellsworth game. Tucker played a hard game and was awarded a letter for his services. Graduation also takes him from the lists. MARVIN PEDEN R. H—3 Years When working at half back, Jim” was a fast, shifty man who could be depended upon for consistent yardage. He was a clever runner and could always be counted upon for his part in every play. Beloit loses a good backfield man by his graduation. Y WENDELL WOOSTER C.—2 Years “Pete was one of Beloit's best linesmen and could be counted uj on to stop any advances made over his position. He could also boot the oval deep into the opponent’s territory on the kick-off, and served in this position throughout the season. When Wooster leaves B. H. S. this year, Beloit loses a real football player. ARNOLD HEIM AN F. B.—1 Year “Hi was one of Beloit’s most valuable backfield men and one of the best in the league. His line plunges and end runs brought gain after gain and his punts brought Beloit out of many tight places. Heiman played his fin t year for Beloit and will graduate this spring. EDDIE G1DDINGS L. H.—1 Year Eddie was the lightest man on the Beloit team, but made up for his lack of weight by good running and ability to snag long passes. Many of these passes resulted in long gains and touchdowns for Beloit. Gid-dings has another year to play for Beloit. ROSCOE WRENCH R. G.—1 Year Roscoe held a part-time place on the team at right guard, and although small, he had plenty of fight. When Roscoe tackled a man, he knew he had been hit. Wrench has two more years of football. PAUL WHITE R. H.—1 Year Paul was a steady player whose ability at running and passing was valuable. He was one of the most willing men on the team, and should land a permanent berth in the back field on next year's squad. HAROLD TROUTMAN R. E. 1 Year “Trout held the right end job this season, and was noted for his hard playing. He was one of the fastest men on the team, and a run around his end always met with opposition Trout will be missed next year. MAX WRENCH L.

S. and will be in line for a place in next year's team. LEROY BR1NEY C.—1 Year Leroy was one of the largest men on the squad. He has two more years to play for B. H. S.. and he should develop into a valuable linesman. WOODROW WOLVERTON R. T. 1 Year Woody showed up well at right tackle this year, and his hard tackling should return him to next year's line-up, as he was valuable in breaking through to stop many of the opponent's plays. FRANK JORDAN L. G.—1 Year Although a Junior and his first year of experience, Jordan played good football, and showed that he would be an imi ortant part in next year's eleven.

The season was unsuccessful, but the defenders of the orange and black put up a good fight. The greatest benefit of the season was the deveopment of future material. The men who played with the reserves are especially to be commended, as they gave Beloit a strong second team which made a good showing throughout the season. A COACH “MORT WHITE Coach “Mort“ White has been director of athletics for Beloit High School for two years. His 1930 football team won the league championship, and the basketball ttam of that year tied for first honors with Manhattan.

The faculty play, “It Won’t Be Long Now,” was given April 15 before a large and appreciative audience. The play which was directed by Mrs. Allen Clark, was a comedy drama in three acts. It was extremely well-chosen and provided genuine entertainment. The plot of the story concerns a young man, Robert Preston, who changed overnight from a grasping hard, money seeker to the true Bob Preston. He is told he has only twenty-four hours to live and he sets about making those hours the most profitable ones in his life. The leading roles, those of Bob Preston and his sweetheart, Anne Winston, were taken by Thayer Carmichael and Mildred Guard. They both acted very naturally and lent an air of reality to the play. The part of Vivian Darrell, a lisping flapper in love with Preston, was played by Miss Ober, who was a “scream.” Darrel Hinkhouse gave a very realistic interpretation of the part of Dobson, a hard-boiled political manager. John Morrell and Paul Imes served in double roles; Mr. Imes taking the part of a clerk by the name and nature of Meek, and also that of Frank Cullen, of the People’s party; and Mr. Morrell acting the part of Thomas, a butler and an Irish policeman. Mr. Chestnut took the part of Dr. Walter Talley, a phvsican, who figured greatly in the plot. Doris Hundertmark was Bob Preston’s stenographer. Her line of chatter was realistic and her part well-acted. The brogue of Olga, a Swedish cook played by Viola Brown, sounded very natural. Lorene Smith took the part of Frances, a French maid and did it well. Rev. Dr. Coring of the playground center was Fred Rees in disguise. Each member of the cast was remarkably well-fitted for his part, and the play was a great success. The members and faculty very generously gave of their time and talent for the benefit of the Saga staff. The staff wishes to express its sincere ap- tf prciation to the members of the faculty for their cooperation. w v ) . €X ■ ' ' 1 ■ — 1 1 l 1 — — —' ■ ■ ■ The charter to the National Honor Society was granted to the Beloit High School, May 5, and in accordance to its regulations, the following Seniors, Josephine Cole, Robert McClelland, Winifred Leslie, Rachel Donabauer, and Maxine Petterson were elected members of ihe organization and installation services were held in a special chapel, May 13. The emblem of the National Honor Society is the keystone and the flaming torch bearing the letters S. L. C. S., which stand for the four cardinal principles of the organization: Scholarship, leadeiship, character, and service to the school. Those eligible for election to the National Honor Society were the upper 15 per cent of the Senior class in scholarship. Secret ballots were cast by the faculty and the votes were counted by a committee, the five highest being elected. Letters were then sent notifying their parents and inviting them to the installation services. The organization of the National Honor Society was founded in 1921, by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. It was the outgrowth of various high school honor societies, the first founded in 1900. There are over 1,000 active chapters of this organization in the United States, sixtv-six of which are in Kansas. The membership, as stated above, is based upon four qualifications: Scholarship, character, leadership, and service to the school. This organization is to the high schools of the nation what the Phi Beta Kappa and the Phi Kappa Phi are to the colleges except that the National Honor Society takes into consideration four qualifications where the college organizations consider only scholarship. The National Honor Society develops leadershp, scholarship and service which combined make character. Scholarship, the power of the mind to dispel ignorance and superstition through scientific investigat'on of truth: Leadership, the power of personality; Character, the composite of all the common virtues; and Service, the beginning and end of education are thus embodied as vital factors in the ideals for which we strive.
