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. May 1933 Page Thirteen
