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

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.

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

Aides of Artemis bq RUTH E HOIDE Razzle, dazzle, zip, boom, bah— B. H. S. Rah! Rah! Rah! B-e-l-o-i-t! Beloit! HIIO are these frills with so much pep and enthusiasm? They are none other than members of the Pep Club. The Pep Club, sponsored by Miss Nadine Miller, was organized and officers elected in September, 1932. 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.

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
