 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
