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. May 1933 Page Seventeen

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.

We TROJAN :• Trojan IParriors by TREIM TUMDDELL September 23 September 30 October 7 October 14 October 21 October 28 November 3 November 11 November 18 November 24 Lebanon 6-----------------Beloit 0 Junction City 32 Beloit 0 Belleville 13 Beloit 0 Lincoln 6 I------------Beloit ' Osborne 13 Beloit 6 Hunter 39 Beloit 0 Clay Center 19 Beloit 6 Smith Center 30 Beloit 0 Manhattan 27 Beloit 0 Concordia 12 Beloit 0 HIRTY-OXE Trojans answered roll call, when Coach Ike' sounded the ougle for football practice on the fifth uay of September. 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. PaEighteen May 1933
