This was in 1883 and in 1033 we celebrate the golden anniversary of the first graduating class. There were only two girls in this class, Emma Long and Mabel Barnes. This year there are sixty-three students graduating class. Picture a little red school house up on whose two stern teachers rule the pupils, on the long awaited day these two modest maidens of '83 eagerly sweep across the platform in their long and lacy dresses to receive their diplomas. Then picture a red brick schoolhouse on a hill with a beautiful green lawn. Inside you see a great many teachers. They aren't stern any longer, they are friendly and congenial with the students. Then the same as before the long awaited day comes and sixtv-three dignified seniors walk across the platform to receive their diplomas just as eagerly. But BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL.

There is a contrast. They both have the same vision, to leave school, and to meet people, gain friends in the outside world, and make the best of their education. Although the teachers have been changed a great many times, tlie same spirit and desire to work for the school has remained. This undying spirit which can be found in each student is the reason Beloit High School has progressed. The graduation program of 1883 was interesting with its recitations, debates, and the Valdietorian, Mabel Barnes, who gave a long oration on “Women in War. Such orations have been, discarded long ago. That program must have lasted nearly two hours, while the program today is just as impressive but it is shorter. Here you can compare the program of 1883 with that of 1933, just fifty years later. (Hiunmrurrnirnt program FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY MAY 22. 1933 HIGH SCHOOL A EDITOR!

S. for the past ten years. During the first four years at B. H. S. he taught vocational agriculture. For the next three years he was the principal of the High School. He assumed the position which he now holds, superintendent of Beloit city .schools, in 1930. Mr. Morrell earned his B. B. degree at Missouri University. He took post graduate work at Kansas and Chicago Universities. Mr. E. M. Chestnut has been our principal for the last three years. Before coining to Beloit he was instructor of civic history in th? Manhattan High School. Mr. Chestnut received his A. B. degree from Kansas University, and his M. S. degree from Kansas State Agricultural College. Mr. Chestnut was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi honorary scholastic fraternity. Page Six ay 1933 E. M. CHESTNUT Principal � O JUkiLV 'l We TROJAN Oracles of Delphi bq BETTI} HAMPTON jT is a good thing that this is a year i book or people would wonder where all the good looking men and women came , from. They do not look like the teach-i ers of old, but they are the kind of instructors that the youth of today needs and understands. Miss Bollman is the little lady standing in front of Miss Woolverton. She teaches us the art of commercial work. Miss Woolverton teaches the pupils to be good teachers like herself, and instructs youths how to use their brains to work mathematics. Miss Brown is the teacher who is always ready for everything and anything. She teaches Art and Freshman English. She also is the beloved sponsor of the G. R. Standing with her, is “Merry’’ Mary Carnahan. She may be small, but she is mighty; she teaches us how to warble sweetly. Miss Tinkler and Miss Green—the two smiling “pals.” Miss Tinkler’s favorite word is “time.” She tells us how to use our fingers to a greater advantage than just to twiddle them; you can guess she is our typewriting teacher. Miss Green, the Home Economies teacher, tells us that there is more than one way to a man’s heart, and you can have three guesses to what that is. “Good Cooking.” Three ladies on a step, each one full of “Pep”. They are Miss Kirtland, the teacher of Shakespeare to the happy Juniors; she also teaches Public Speaking and Journalism. Miss Schmitt teaches such deep subjects as Latin and French; she di- rected the very successful play, “It Happened in Hollywood”, and Miss Annan is the Clerk of the Board of Education. Although she is called upon for help from everyone, she is always ready and glad to assist. “Two blonds” together, both small. Miss Miller is the director of girls’ athletics. Besides her gym classes, she teaches Physiology and English; she also is the director of the G. A. A. and the “Peppy” pep club. Miss Pratt is so small you have to look twice to see her. She has just been at Beloit High School one year, and we all hope she will stay. Algebra and Plane Geometry are the •subjects she teaches. Mr. Isaacson and Mr. Hinkhouse are the two “dark men”, of the faculty. “Ike” is our coach of athletics; he is the coach of hearts as well. Ilis hobby is to call upon people to make speeches. Mr. Hinkhouse teaches Manual Training and has charge of the Intra-Mural sports; all the girls want to take Manual Training for no reason at all. “Three Musketeers” of different fields. Mr. Carmichael’s special field is American History and Civics. He is also debate coach and head of the tennis team. Mr. lines has charge of the Science Departments; lie is the reason for all the “odious” odors in the halls. He has sponsored successfully for six years the Ili-Y Club. The Vocational Agricultural room would never be the same without Mr. Rees. He supervises the F. F. A. and teaches our boys to become excellent farmers. i Page Eight May 1933 t$e TROJAN Troian Triads bq LUCILLE DENDIJ THE ANNUAL STAFF Editor-In-Chief ------------------------------ Henry Lins Assistant Editor-------------------------------------Ruth Howe Business Manager-------------------------------Wilma Rees Art Editor________________________________ Eunice Armour Snap-Shots_____________Betty Hampton and Howard Leslie WAY back in 1924 the first Journalism i lass was organized. Before this time, a paper of tremendous size was published. This large paper consisted of four columns of news which was collected by a ss correspondents. Since that time, the Journalism class lias grown in its activities and its work. The B. II. S. Life, a bi-weekly paper, was published from 11)24 to 1932. Due to unsettled conditions this year, we published a quarterly magazine in the place of the paper. The material was written by the members of the elass themselves, and all the work was done by them that was possible in publishing the magazine. The first edition of the magazine, “The Trojan ’, was published in October, after much worry and physical labor. The printing was done with a “Rotospeed” machine, secured by Miss Kirtland. our sponsor, and those who rail the machine became inky as any printer. Our December issue was a masterpiece. Tom Ilurlev designed a picture of a jack-in-the-box and a rag doll, and the class painted each separate cover in bright rhristmas colors. We labored many nights to get this issue out before Christmas vacation started. Tn the windy month of March, our third issue was published. The cover of the magazine was in keeping with St. Patrick's Day as well as part of the writing. The cover was light green in color and bore a picture of Pan playing his pipes. Our last issue was published in April and surprised the unsuspecting students with an issue on sneak day. The last publication of the elass of 1933 was the Senior Year-Book, “The Trojan. Henry Lins held the position of editor of all our magazines. This year's Journalism class was much smaller than the preceding classes, and each member had much more work to do. Besides working for material for our magazines, we published a weekly column in each of our local newspapers. The column consisted of high school news. In publishing our Annual, the greatest difficulty was found when it came to finances. We started a •.ales campaign early in the year, but we didn't sell enough magazines to pay for the cover of the book, so we were forced to sell them on tin installment plan. This made it difficult because we were not sure at that time that we would have an Annual. We are giad we tried something new this year, (ilad because it was different from what the preceding Journalism classes have done. If it had not been for the help and cooperation of the faculty and the students, we could never have hoped to make a success of the magazine. But all were behind the publications, and we hope that they enjoyed reading the magazines as much as we did in publishing them. The members of the elass feel that they were given a great privilege when they were enrolled in the elass. They will never forget the happiness and satisfaction of printing their own writing by their own hands. Their comradeship and feeling of oneness was broken hut once when Howard Leslie, assistant-editor of the quarterly magazine and snapshot editor of the Annual, became ill with pneumonia and died on March 25, 1933. We wish, in conclusion, to thank the faculty and the students for their support of our publications. May 1933 Page Nine We TROJAN Ju Utmortam OWARD Leslie, friend, schoolmate, worker, and a gentleman, lie was all of these and more. He was a steadfast friend. He never failed a friend, and p2 ! he never lost one he desired to keep. His loyally was of the finest. Win or lose, he always stayed on his chosen side and held on. If his friend lost, he never offered too much sympathy. He merely said, “Too bad,” and helped him go on and try again. A better schoolmate could not be found. He was a good partner, always willing to do his share of “lab work or any other task. A worker is valuable in any undertaking, and Howard was one of the most valuable. His help was to be had it it were only requested. He was willing to co-operate and always did his best. However, anyone who sinks his whole life in work grows dull and is good only as a worker. Howard was not one of these. lie enjoyed sports, and when he played, he played with his whole heart. He enjoyed good times and had them. Il was active in school activities. He played football; he was interested in music, he was a member of the Journalism Class; he was an officer in the Hi-Y, and he was active in the activities of his class. lie had a sharp and true sense of right and wrong, yet lie was not a prude. He was tolerant, and lie was fair. He had his opinions and refused to change them until he was certain that another’s were better. He never changed his opinion of a person’s character because of the reports and tales told by those who did not know. He formed his opinion by actual knowledge. There are some who must have something to stand on, something to back them up. Without this they are worthless. Howard was not one of these. He had the courage, tin self-confidence, and the independence to do things without such support. If he fell, he fell. It was not that he didn’t care if he failed, but he was not afraid to. He was not afraid to start again. lie was not one to stand back and tell how things should be done. He was always in line and working. If he had a suggestion to make, he did so, and then helped to carry it out. He was kind and never bullying, yet with his kindness was a temper that tolerated no trampling on his rights or the rights of others. He was always a gentleman. Ilis conduct was that of one who is full of life and enjoyed that fullness, yet he never made his presence other than pleasurable. It is not often that one is honored with the friendship of a person like him. If one is so honored. the friendship is treasured and jealously guarded. When they are gone, the memory of that friendship cannot In wiped out. Those who were close friends of Howard know and treasure such a memory. They will not forget. Those who were not such close friends will remember him as a schoolmate who always did his best. During his life, he was never too proud of his achievements, yet he enjoyed victory as much as anyone. He was modest but not to too great a degree. He was still a boy when he left, a boy with a man’s ideals, a man’s courage, yet with the heart of a boy. He would have always had a boy’s heart, no matter what his age. He is gone, yet this memory of Howard will always be clear and precious.

Page Twelve We TROJAN Trails to Troy fall of the year, 1020, ninety-Freshmen entered Beloit High School and looked forward to four years of worry, examinations, and assembly programs. In the fall of that year, the market crashed, and prosperity be-a memory. It has been asked from time to if the two catastrophies have any connection. During our Freshman year, we learned to call the instructors by their last names, how to go against traffic without being bawled out, and the correct way to voice your worry over your grades. In that year, 1929-30, we chose Alfredo de Gracia as our president, Lewis Daniels as our vice-president, and Wayne Moran as secretary and treasurer. Twas indeed an august and sage group to guide us though those twins of terror, the first and second semesters. On the first Monday in September, 1930, we again entered the portals of B. II. S., this time as Sophomores. Having become steeped in our own wisdom and capability during the summer, we elected Fima Babbit as our president; Agnes Peden as vice-president; and Florence Crown as secretary and treasurer. In that year, our class took its first and feeble crack at dramatics in presenting the one act play, “Imagination” in an assembly program. In that same year, Junior Giles fell into a role in the operetta. “Ilulda of Holland.” We held a Halloween party that year, and everyone cam0 in as horrible a costume as he could obtain. In the spring of 1931 we held a picnic and proceeded to collect chiggers, mosquito bites and poison ivy. Then, after two years of labor and suffering, at last we were Juniors, and time had rolled around to 1931. The class of ’33 elected Henry Lins as president, Jane Mehl as vice-president, and Thelma Slate as secretary and treasurer. The class presented the play, “Better Than Gold” on the thirteenth of November, 1931, and proceeded to sell out every seat. When the prof- bq HENRlj LINS its were figured, it was found that the Seniors would be fed the following spring, and there was great rejoicing. This was not at all surprising since the play was presented on the lucky day of November 13. The cast of the play will not soon forget those short and hectic two weeks of practice and the thrill of playing before a full house. The Seniors played host and entertained us that year in a garden setting. It was a pleasant scene, and the program put on by the Seniors carried us back to the gay nineties. They even had a bicycle built for two. In the spring of 1932, we began to work on the Junior-Senior Banquet. Mile after mile of colored paper floated through our dreams, the Washington Bicentennial seemed a nightmare, and we purloined milk and made cocoa in the church kitchen. After weeks of work, the big night arrived and we moved through scenes of two centuries ago. The last event in that year was the picnic. By various conveyances we moved in force to Solomon Rapids and proceeded to mess up the landscape. The only mishap came when Betty Hampton lost, the battery out of Lawrence Bunch’s roadster while tearing around a pasture in it. Then another page of history flutters down, and we enroll in 1932 as dignified and learned Seniors. Dale Spaulding was elected president because his curly hair was a lure to the feminine Seniors, Eunice Armour was elected vice-president, and Thelma Slate was elected secretary and treasurer. The class meetings during the past year have often been the scene of hot argument and bitter sarcasm. After eloquent speeches and barbed retorts had been exhausted in one meeting, the class voted to wear caps and gowns during Commencement Week. In January, we devoted our time and energies to entertaining the Juniors. The reception was held in the Rose Room, and the decorations were in keeping with winter. Henry Lins was chosen class valedictorian and Ralph Jordan class salutatorian, for the class of ’33.

OR twenty-two years the girls of Beloit High school have been earnestly striving to “Kind and Give the Best’’ through the Girl Reserves Club. The Girl Reserves Club is a junior organization of the National Y. Y. C. A. The emblem of the Girl Reserves is the letters G. R. enclosed with a triangle and encircled. Each side of the triangle represents one aspect of the three fold life: Social, moral, and physical. The circle symbolizes world friendship which the club promotes. Every girl who joins pledges herself to live up to the high purpose of the Girl Reserves Code. The membership this year includes ninety-two girls. Wilma Rees and Ruth Howe represented the Beloit Girl Reserves Club at the first session of the Camp Wood Conference for Girl Reserves last summer. Work for a successful club year was started during the summer when the cabinet met several times. Through these cabinet meetings a “big and little sister’ campaign was initiated. Each Senior member was given the name of a Freshman girl to whom she was to be a “Cheery Chum.” Service was rendered to the students through the G. R. Book Store, during enrollment week. Through this book store an exchange of second hand books enabled the students to purchase the necessary books at a very low cost. This service was greatly appreciated during this time of depressed economic conditions. On the evening of September 14, the cabinet entertained the girls of the high school at a lovely lawn party given at the home of Wilma Rees. Merle Witham was pianist at the District Conference for Girl Reserves held at Jewell City, October 21, 22, 23. Mrs. Thayer Carmichael was conference song leader. Miss Brown and five other cabinet members also attended. They were: Agnes Peden, Elma Babbit, Margaret DeShazo, Ruth Howe and Wilma Rees. A Christmas assembly play, “More Blessed”, was presented by members of the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves Clubs. The play was followed by a beautiful white gift ceremony. The white gift ceremony which was first used in Beloit High school in 1931 gives each high school student the opportunity to give a white wrapped gift, something which he no longer needs or uses, to charity. The mothers of the girls were entertained at a St. Patrick Mother and Daughter Banquet, held March 17th. Each committee raised the sum of five dollars to help pay the community quota. This quota is a minimum sum of thirty-five dollars which every Girl Reserves Club sends yearly to state headquarters at Wichita to defray state administration expenses. A town sponsor and a faculty advisor were chosen for each committee this year. To Mrs. Frank Lutz, who is the general town sponsor, we owe a deep debt of gratitude for the years of cooperation with the Beloit High School Girl Reserves Club. The town sponsors and faculty advisors were: Mrs. Murray and Miss Green, Membership Committee; Mrs. Rees and Miss Tinkler, Program Committee; Mrs. Lagle and Miss Pratt, Social Committee; Mrs. Chestnut and Miss Newton, Devotional Committee; Mrs. Witham and Miss Carnahan, Music Committee; Mrs. Isaacson and Miss Miller, Finance Committee.

Principal Owen founded this organization, and each year since then Beloit has strived to keep the organization functioning. The purpose of tin club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The secretary has read a list of names totalling forty-nine during the year ’32-’33. Many special activities were carried out by the Hi-Y during the past year. The fall Officers Training Conference was held at Jewell City. Five cabinet officers, Charles Johnson, Harold Mercer, Garold Humes, Roscoe Miles, and Billy Pfautz, attended. The annual State Hi-Y Conference was held at Topeka during December. Haldon Howse, Willard Dean, Harold Mercer, George Fit fell, Wendell Dean, Robert Mercer, Harrison Honderick, Max Shea, (diaries Johnson, Billy Pfautz, and Harlan Rees were representatives from Beloit. March 8, 1933 was a big event for the fathers of the Hi-Y boys. The boys entertained their lathers at a party where games were played and refreshments served. The fathers were not so very efficient at the games, but they could put away the refreshments with speed and neatness. Before the membership campaign was closed, the cabinet olficers issued an invitation to all boys in school to a watermelon feast. It brought many boys and also some faculty members. Scraps of watermelon littered the landscape for a considerable distance, and the participants dug seeds from their ears for days. A Go-To-Church campaign was staged by two opposing teams. The losing team was to treat the winning side, and, by special arrangement, the losing team gave a wiener roast to the boys on the overnight hike. Friendship letters were written by each member of tin Hi-Y. lie told the person whose name he drew about his good points and bad points with suggestions as to a remedy. A basketball tournament was held in the spring. There were four teams in the tournament. They were captained by Roscoe Miles, Bob Mercer, Harold Mercer, and Max Broadbent. Miles’ team won the tournament. Bob Mercer’s took second place, Harold Mercer’s took third, and Max Broadbent’s took fourth.

Their goal was to make the offensive as strong as the defensive but to lie continually making the de- fensive stronger. The only letter men out to strengthen this year’s team were: Harold Mercer, Melvin Williams, Lewis Daniels, and Roscoe Wrench. Lewis Daniels, who played the position of end the first of the season and later played fullback, was chosen captain. Beloit met their first opponent on the home field September 23. After struggling hard during the four quarters, the score was (i-0, in favor of Lebanon. Beloit met Lincoln on October 14 and amid the shouting and excitement made her first touchdown of tin season. The procession from the school house to the football field was led by the Lincoln Pep Band, which was followed by the Beloit Pep (’lid) girls who were wearing their orange and black jackets for the first time. Beloit played Smith (’enter Armistice Day. It was a cold and windy day and after fighting hard Beloit again lost 30-6. The boys played two night games last season; one at Osborne and the other at Clay Center. Thanksgiving Day was cold and clear, but the snow was all ready on the ground. The Trojans were aecompanied to Concordia by the Pep Club, who rode in tin Beloit Milling truck. Beloit never won a game during the season, but showed expert training by continually improving their playing during the season. The Pep Club under the direction of Miss Miller did much to keep the students “ginegar” going. Merle Wit ham composed three pep songs at the request of Mr. Isaacson to aid in keeping up the school spirit. Nineteen boys received letters this year. They were: Claude Baker, Gerald Bassford, Clyde Bean, Maxell Broadbent, Lewis Daniels. Marion File, Joe Gansel, Lawney Giddings, Junior Giles, Ralph Jordan. Lewis Knarr, Harold Mercer, Robert Mercer, Ray Thomas, Wayne Walker, Donald Walsh, Ronald Walsh, Melvin Williams, and Roscoe Wrench. A boy was not awarded more than one athletic letter during the year of 1932-33, but a smaller letter was used to designate the sport in which be won it. The G. A. A. girls were treated by the football boys to a watermelon feed early in the season, and the Pep Club Girls entertained them with an oyster supper, November 8. Prospects for the fall season of 1933 include the following boys: Harold Mercer, who has bad three years training, plays tin position of right guard and will be out for next season. His brother. Boh, with just one year less training, will lx right on bis heels at the position of right end. Donald and Ronald Walsh, who already have two years experience, will add greatly to the strength of next year’s team. Maxell Broadbent, who has two years experience is fast and lias another season to play. Wayne Walker plays halfback and is fleet as a deer. Three Freshmen will no doubt see service on next year's team, Lawney Giddings at half back; Ray Thomas, halfback: and Lee Sprenger who trained for the positiin of center. Joe Gansel lias two years’ experience and lias a chance to lie one of the eleven. Several hoys who have not earned letters but have had experience will probably get “to hit that line” next year. They are Leo Nelson, Kenneth Weins, Roger Weltmer. Billy Pfautz, Duane Miller, Earl Grecian. Allen Fowler and Roy Covert.

Its purpose is to create enthusiasm, develop cooperation, and encourage higher standards of sportsmanship. The officers are: President--------------------- --------- Jane Mehl Vice-President ___________________— Mary Beryl Miller Secretary-Treasurer ------------------- Doris Sherrard In order to raise money for jackets, the Pep Club had an ice cream social on September lb. The high school lawn was attractively decorated with Japanese lanterns. Tickets were sold for fifteen cents. At noon on October 7, there was a great commotion. The jackets had arrived—bright orange trimmed in black and fastened by the convenience of a zipper. There was much cheering which aroused the enthusiasm of not only the Pep Club, but also the rest of the school. Hot dogs, pie, cake, candy, coffee, and gum were sold at tin stands run bv the Pep Club at the football games to complete the payments on the new jackets. October 13. a pep rally was held in the high school auditorium. Interesting stunts were given. A stuffed gunny sack to represent Belleville was displayed. Everyone then went to the north side of the high school for a bonfire. As Belleville went up in smoke, the crowd cheered. Superintendent Morrell, Miss Miller, and Coach “Ike’’ Isaacson gave short, enthusiastic speeches. On November 8, the Pep Club entertained the football team and faculty men with an oyster supper. after which the girls sang the school songs and gave school yells. One of the highlights of the year was the trip to the Concordia football game on Thanksgiving Day. The girls travelled the thirty-two miles in 4he Beloit Milling truck, arriving home tired and very dusty. On January 28, the Beloit “Trojans’ played the Junction City “Blue Jays”; the second team played the Glen Elder first team. After the basket ball game, a banquet was given for the four teams. The decorations were carried out in the school colors, orange and black. Merle Witham gave a reading. The new radio also helped to entertain. The Pep Club has provided programs for pep assemblies including an operation by Doctor Brink-ley; the wedding of Miss Elusive Victory to Mr. Johnnie Mae Beloit; a football game, an interpretation of the new basket ball rules, and many others. They also provided stunts for between the halves of basket ball games letter formation, tap dancing, trapeze stunts, flashlight letters, and others. Merle Witham, a member of the club, composed three school songs. They are ‘‘Proud of Our School,” “City of Troy,” and “Pep and Ginger,” She also composed words to the tune of “Over There.” Helen Thurston, Xelda Owen, Shirley Spaulding and Merle Witham were elected cheer leaders. They have done splendidly in leading in the pep and enthusiasm. There are thirty-five members of the Pep Club. They are: Mary Annan, Barthena Broadbent, Ruth Mercer, Margaret Caughev, Mary Ellen Stewart, Merle Witham. Hazel Johnson. Kathryn Tngram, Martha Hansel, Thelma Root, Felicia Ann Sherrard, Rosemary Higinbotham, Justine James, Ruth Heck, Emma Hicks, Betty Tweed. Bernadine Sehellinger, Katherine Crawford, Dorothy MeClanahan. Marvel Conn. Bernice Myers, Elizabeth Gould, Elizabeth Smith, Shirley Spaulding, Veda Brinev, Maxine I.agle, Helen Thurston, Xelda Owen, Eunice Armour. and Ruth Howe. We wish to express our deep appreciation for the spirit which prompted the organization of our Pen Club. Their purpose is accomplished to develop cooperation, create enthusiasm, and encourage higher standards of sportsmanship. Beloit High School has reason to be proud of the efforts of these thirty-five girls in accomplishing the task which they started out to accomplish. May 1933 Page Nineteen W?

Following his last year's plan, Coach Isaacson divided this group into two groups, the “A and “B squads, according to the ability that the boys displayed. The squad made its first public appearance on foreign hunting grounds. On December 20, the Trojans played the Lincoln team at Lincoln. The Trojans lost 21-12. The next battle was fought on the home court. Glen Elder was on the losing end of the score. The Trojans then left the protection of home and journeyed to Marysville. They lost this game 19-6. From Marysville they went to Belleville and again met defeat. The score was 18-11. The next game was played against Lincoln on the home court. The defeat given the Trojans earlier in the season by this team was avenged. Lincoln was defeated 23-11. Jewell, the ancient enemy of the Trojan cagers, defeated our warriors on the Jewell court 17-14 in a close and exciting game. The following night we lost to Junction City 24-111. Clay Center next invaded the walls of Troy and defeated our cagers 18-lb. The Trojans then sallied out to attack Concordia, but they were repulsed by a narrow margin. The score was 14-13 for Concordia. Marysville next tried to scale our walls Page Twenty and succeeded after a hard battle and two long distance attacks. The score was lb-14. The Trojans repulsed the next attack made by the Jewell team. The score was 22-20 for Beloit. Following this successful defense of their own walls, the Trojans invaded Clay Center, but were defeated 18-15. From this defeat, the squad tried a comeback at Osborne but were again defeated 22-5. The last engagement of the season was in defense of the home court. The Concordia Panthers succeeded in scaling our defenses after a hard, close fight. The score was 26-25 for Concordia. The Trojans followed the official season by entering the state regional tournament held at Concordia on March 17 and 18. We lost in the first round to Marysville. The score was 23-10. The North Central Kansas League championship was won by the Junction City team. They played clean, fast basketball and are fit champions. Although the Trojans did not win a majority of their games, the team did well. Almost every game was close and exciting. The team received the support of the town people and the students throughout the season. Prospects for the coming season are bright since the second team made a good showing against larger teams. Those who were awarded first team letters were Gail Reiter, Ronald Walsh, Donald Walsh, Max Broadbent, Harold Mercer, and Wayne Moran. Donald Walsh was chosen captain. Those who were awarded reserve squad letters were Kenneth Wiens, Roscoe Miles, Donald Murray, Hugh Bussell. Roger Weltmer, Bill McMann, Carson Hansen, Boyd Christoffel, Allen Fowler, and Robert Mercer. Reiter, Moran, Miles, and Hansen will not be back next year, but the majority of these boys will be back to defend the Trojan court and to storm the defense of other schools. May 1933 I III WTROJAN Daughters of Atlanta by UERA PONTON EM I NINE shouts from locker rooms on the lower floor after four o’clock are an indication that the G. A. A. is to be jn session. This organization, the Girls’ . 11 Athletic Association, is perhaps one of the most active at B. II. S. It is under the supervision of the state athletic association, and it is sponsored by Miss Nadine 'Miller, the high school gym teacher. The purpose of the organization is to create and promote interest in girls’ athletics and to offer a variety of sports in which all girls are asked to take part. Last fall the girls played baseball and volley ball. In the winter, basketball was the main sport, and in the spring they played soccer. There has been an average of thirty girls in the G. A. A. each semester. Their activities are divided into two classes. The first group is known as organized activities, and must be done under the supervision of the physical education teacher. Included in this group are, basketball, volley ball, soccer, baseball and folk dancing. The second class is called unorganized activities, and may lx done outside of school hours. These include such activities as roller skating, bicycling, and horseback riding. The results of the riding become rather painful. The group is divided up into five team '. aiH a cbiss representative manages each team. The Freshmen won the baseball tournament, the Juniors, the volley ball tournament; and the Freshmen the basketball tournament. On March 24. the Beloit G. A. A. was a guest of tin Kansas Wesleyan University at Salina, for their annual Play Day. The twelve girls who represented Beloit included the six who won the basketball tournament and the six Junior-Senior Tro-janettes who were on the runner-up team. The winning team were: Mary Barthena Broadbent. Ger-Lvncli, and Isabelle Chris-team included: Elizabeth Gould. Maxine Lade, Dorothy McGlanahan, Esther Donaldson, Jane Mehl, and Mary Beryl Miller. girls who were on the Annan, Ruth Mercer, trude Golladay. Bertha toffel. The runner-up Tn working for points for awards, they get 6 points each hour for organized activities and 3 points an hour for unorganized activities. The first award for ( 00 points is a G. A. A. pin. The second award, ( ()() points more, is a school letter. 400 points additional earns the third award, which is a state letter, and the fourth award given for 400 points more is a gold “K” state pin. There are three girls who will receive “K” pins this year. They are Jane Meld, Elizabeth Gould, and Maxine Lagle. The G. A. A. has skillfully arranged social activities as well as class activities. They had a very successful Halloween party in the country, following a hilarious truck ride. Last fall they went on a sleepless overnight hike. The main feature of this hike was the appearance of a group of sere-naders, who turned out to be Coach Isaacson and his football boys with watermelons for a watermelon feed. After the feed, the girls proceeded to go back to their second childhood by playing leap frog at midnight. The officers of the G. A.

HOIPE HE greatest privilege that can come to any boy or girl, is to be permitted to learn of the world they live in. How well they learn the ways of the world is a mark of credit for them. This privilege is provided for them by our schools and we therefore gauge their education by the credit marks which they receive. As a further recognition of their work in taking advantage of this privilege granted them, the high schools of tin United States organized the National Honor Society. This society allows one-third of the senior class to receive such additional credit marks. The National Honor Society was organized in 1921 by the National Association of Secondary Principals. It was the result of various high school honor societies, the first founded in 1900. There are over 1000 active chapters of this organization in the United States, sixty-six of which are in Kansas. Beloit High School made application for membership in the National Honor Society in April, 1931. Membership in the National Honor Society is based upon four qualifications, scholarship, character, leadership and service to the schools of the nation. This organization is to the high schools of the nation as 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. Those eligible for election to the National Honor Society were the upper one-third of the senior class in scholarship. Election of members to the National Honor Society is by the members of the faculty of the high school. Not over fifteen percent of the graduating class may lie elected to membership in the society, and the full fifteen rarely are elected. The emblem of the National Honor Society is the keystone and the flaming torch. At the base of the keystone are the letters, C. S. L. S., which stand for the four cardinal principles of the organization, scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The charter members of the Beloit High School chapter of the National Honor Society were: Maxine Petterson, Josephine Cole, Winifred Leslie, Rachael Donabauer, and Robert McClelland, graduates of the class of 1931 ; Mary Agnes Hicks, Opal Moran, Paul Ilodler, Paul White, and Boyd Finney graduates of the class of 1932. The officers of the National Honor Society are: President ------------------------- Mary Agnes Hicks Vice-President ___________________________________ Opal Moran Secretary ---------------------------- Winifred Leslie Treasurer _________________________ Rachael Donabauer On March 1. 1933, seven new members were initiated into the society. They are: Elma Babbit, Florence Crown, Agnes Peden, Maxine Eagle, Wilma Rees, Martha McMahan, Ralph Jordan. Mary Agnes Hicks, president of the National Honor Society, administered the oath, to which the new members responded with the pledge of the society: I pledge myself to uphold the high purpose of the National Honor Society to which I have been elected: I will be true to the principles for which it stands; I will be loyal at all times to my school and will maintain and encourage high standards of Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. May they always live up to the pledge!

The play was directed by Miss Gertrude .Kirtland. Jane Melil was business manager, and Mr. 1). E. Ilinkhouse had charge of the ticket sale. Through the cooperation of the class as a whole and the Senior sponsors a large ticket campaign was carried out and the play was presented to a full house. The scene of the play was laid in a college town, Harrison. Erica Nelson, a Norwegian girl, was ashamed of her nationality. She tried to hide it, but her home was very plainly Norwegian, and Ole Halve son, and his “Yeneral Manager,” Sigrid made it much more evident that the home was Norwegian. Erica set out to refurnish the home and teach Ole and Sigrid to speak like Americans. Thelma Slate very capably carried the role of Erica, who changed her name to Christine, because it did not sound so much like a Norwegian name. Rosemary Prewett, who played the part of Mrs. Nelson, Erica’s mother, was an example of patience. She let Erica do as sin pleased about rearranging the house and teaching Sigrid and Ole to talk correctly. The parts of Sigrid and Ole were talken by Elma Babbit and Junior Giles, who played them exceptionally well. Sigrid knew her rights and had them. She concealed few opinions, and it was her policy to share them with the world. Ole was fair- ly dominated by Sigrid, and he was the type that needed directions, and Sigrid did her best to give them to him. Virginia Lindlev and Helen Stone are two college girls who are “Alphas and who consider Erica as a candidate to their society. They went to her home for an evening, and according to previous instructions Sigrid, Ole, and Mrs. Nelson were not to speak, for tear they would reveal their nationality. Everything seemed so queer at the Nelson home, they suspected the family as being a little insane. Robert Lindley was an athletic star, beloved by everyone. He was very much attracted by Erica’s charm, Jack Dunn was the life of every party, and he was a very good friend of Robert Lindley. Dorothy Nichols was a girl who proved to be a very good friend of Erica and admired her very much. She didn't have a square deal socially, but she didn't worry about it. In the Nelson family, generations before Erica, a young Norwegian bride, whose lover was shipwrecked, became the victim of melancholia. Erica was very much alarmed when her mother became rather despondent, and she feared that her mother was also becoming a victim of the disease. Sigrid told her that she was the cause of her mother's grief, so Erica changed her ways. In the living room was a beautiful chest, in which were many old Norwegian treasures and costumes. Dorothy persuaded Erica to put back the Norwegian pictures which had been taken down and fix the room as it had been. Robert Lindley, in search of costumes, stopped to see a picture of an old Viking, and Erica showed him the costumes she has. They proved to be the very ones he had been looking for, and his sister Virginia and Helen came in to see the costumes. They also see Erica s true character, so they ask her to be an Alpha. The amount of money received from the play was one-hundred and fifty dollars. This money wiil be used to pay for the senior year book, the Trojan.

Today there are young Demosthenes in nearly every school. They take up the question the state has prepared and debate with other schools in their league. The question for debate this year was the subject practically every state legislature brought up this year. “Resolved: That at least one-half of all state and local revenues should be derived from sources other than taxes on tangible property.” Those out for debate were: Wilma Rees, Henry Lins, Claude Baker, Ralph Jordan, Billy Pfautz, Billie Birch. Rex Quakenbush, and Merle Fairchild. Mr. Thayer Carmichael is the debate coach. The only debate the entire student body heard was a chapel debate between Henry Lins and Claude Baker, affirmative; and Ralph Jordan, and Billy Pfautz, negative. Henry Lins’ wit appealed to the students more than Ralph Jordan’s maps, as they voted almost unanimously in favor of Henry and Claude. The League tournament was held February 25th at Clay Center. Our debaters were Henry Lins and Claude Baker, affirmative; and Billy Pfautz and Ralph Jordan, negative. Each team debated th ree times that day. Other towns in the league were Manhattan, Junction City, Marysville, Belleville, Concordia, and Clay Center. All eight out for debate received letters, which gives five lettermen for next year. Five lettermen with the “pep” and “ginger” of these five should bring the cup to Beloit next year and prove that Demosthenes is really right here on earth among us. MUSIC Euterpe, muse of the harmony of sweet sounds, has been found in the music classes for the past nine months. She has brought forth new musicians and helped those who wanted success. Euterpe came down before Christmas and helped petite Mary Carnahan, the music supervisor, put over a musical program, December l(i.

The tennis squad and the gym classes contributed toward the courts, also by working on them during class hours and after school. On the night of May 10, the halls of the high school were transformed into an ice-cream parlor. Local people and high school students were invited to attend. This affair was sponsored by the Girls’ Athletic Association in order to finance the tennis courts. The outstanding members in the squad this year consisted of Gail Reiter, Kenneth Wiens, Donald Murray, Donald Schulz, Claude Baker, Henry Lins, and Santiage Alejo. There are several others who show promise of becoming successful players next year. Tennis is one of the most popular school activities this year, and a large number of students are greatly interested in it. The squad has had two matches so far this spring, but on account of the unfavorable weather, it is not certain whether or not they will play in the tournament to be held at Russell, May 13.

Wiens and Baker won in the doubles match and Schulz and Lins, lost. In the singles Murray won, Wiens won, Baker won, and Schulz won. BASEBALL This year for the first time in the Beloit High School, a baseball team was formed. No competitive games were played, but much experience and fun has been enjoyed from the games between the high school boys. The boys started practicing on Tuesdays and Thursdays the first week of May, but so much had to be done when the end of school drew near, that no schedule could be followed. May 1933 Page Twenty-five We TROJAN Troian Carniuals bg EUNICE ARMOUR ITH the air filled with the smell of spicy pine needles, icicles everywhere, designs Jack Frost had painted on the windows and snowballs on the lights, opened the scene of the first social event of the year. This gala occasion was the Senior-Junior Reception, January 7th. which was held at the Rose Room of the Avenue Hotel. The program consisted of several tap dancing numbers by Thelma Root dressed as a soldier, two piano solos by Merle Witham and a vocal solo by Agnes Peden. The refreshments which were served by some of the freshmen girls who were dressed as snow fairies were cocoanut snowballs and lemon cocktail with a floating l a 11 of pineapple ice. The next event in the senior calendar was the Senior Sneak Day which caused a great whirl of excitement among the students. The journalism class secretly published a Scandal Sheet, which was distributed to the under classmen early Wednesday morning. May 3. All the seniors, except Max Wrench, who had to be pulled out of bed about seven thirty, left for Brown's Memorial Park at Abilene soon after seven o’clock. The weather wasn't ideal in the morning, but shortly after every one had finished his lunch and started to town the sun came out and brightened things up. The afternoon was spent playing tennis, buying souvenirs, and visiting the radio broadcasting station where a song was dedicated to the two seniors who were ill that day and were unable to go. All the Seniors enjoyed the day, and their only regret was that they could have only one Sneak Day. That is every one except one hoy who forget about the traffic rules in Salina. May 5th was the date of the Junior-Senior banquet. The theme on International Economic Conference was interesting and unique. Each place card had the silhouette of a girl or boy of one country, Holland, Italy, Spain. France. England or United States with the flag of that country on it. The program covers were maps with the outstanding features of each country drawn on them. France had the Eiffel tower, United States had the Statue of Liberty, Russia the Kremlin building and Italy was represented by gondolas. The favors were chocolates covered with gold paper which looked like money hoarded in gold net bags. The interesting program is as follows: Invocation ..................................

N. Daniels. The program consisted of a song by Ruth McCall, Ruth Davis and Charlotte Smith. A short talk by Mrs. Lutz about the two essentials, a sense of humor and courtesy, needed in life. This was followed by several games. Punch, ice cream and cookies were served. The spacious lawn and lovely music which the orchestra played from the balcony made a lovely setting for this last party to be enjoyed by the Senior girls of Beloit High School. Page Twenty-six May 1933 TROJAN Council of Themis UR system of government is founded upon democratic- ideals; so is the stu-Ic dent council of our public schools. Its three-fold purpose is: First, to promote jail student activities; second, with cooperation of the faculty and administration of the school system to. gain and maintain the highest standards of high school life; and third, to create a school spirit by having the students voice their sentiment. There Inis been a student council in Beloit High School since 1924. The first six years of the student council they were chosen from the classes and organizations. For the past two years the members have been chosen from the spelling classes and each organization in the school. When there is any business to be brought before the students, the members of the council bring a report to each spelling class where they tell the business and it is discussed pro and con. At the next council meeting they take up the students attitude of the matter and proceed in their favor. During the past two years the student council has had a regular meeting once every two weeks. The students have learned the importance of having a student council and realize the benefits gained through it. Principal E. M. Chestnut is the student council sponsor. The student council is a non-partisan body and tries to help any organization when it could accomplish its goal with a little aid. Early in the season the Debate Squad and Hi-Y were planning to give the play, “Poodles”. The council joined them and furnished what they didn’t have including tin girls of the cast. Early in the school year it was found that. Beloit had several modern conveniences, but it would profit much by the addition of a radio. The student council considered the ways and means of bq TREDA TUMDDELL. DEL FORREST IFINN earning enough money to purchase one, and soon radios were being brought up on trial. The radio was formally presented to the school by the President, .Miss Opal Wells. Every Friday morning from 10:20 to 10:50 music students enjoyed the Walter Damrosch music appreciation hour. The student council sponsored the preparation and sale of the student activity ticket. The'student council had a lunch counter at the Horse Fair in the fall. After having to race the Plymouth up Mill Street to get to the next class and using all the loose dirt near to keep the gas stove from burning and exploding, the council came out at the better end. The student council assisted by the debate squad and Hi-Y presented the play, “Poodles,” November 9th. The members of the cast chosen from the council were Opal Wells, Frances Cole, Dale Spaulding and Thelma Slate. The play was coached by Mr. Carmichael and Mr. lines. Other of their activities have been a campaign to free the halls and near the building of waste paper, having a candy counter at the games, or leasing it to another organization. The council had a committee to meet athletes and visitors from other communities. The council financed the purchase of the scholastic awards and placing the members’ names of the National Honor Society on the plaque. They also defrayed the expenses of the twenty pupils who entered the scholarship contest at Concordia, April 29. Members this year were: Opal Wells, president; Claude Baker, vice-president; Kathryn Ingram, secretary and treasurer; Frances Cole, Billy Birch, Howard DeShazo, Gerald Bassford, Betty Tweed, Ronald Walsh, Lawnev Giddings, Paul Hannah, Catherine Crawford. Charles Jordan, Rosemary Prewett. Dale Spaulding, Robert Mercer, Thelma Slate, Ruth Anna Tindle, and Leo Nelson.
