Most of those freshmen knew also that there were persons who would plan for their educa- tional opportunities-the board of eduea- tion. The fan-ulty has taught us to be eourtc- ous, to be punctual, and to Strive for high- er ideals. Through their understanding and interest in us they have won our ad- miration both in school and in outside activ- ities. The boarcl of education through their knowlerlge of an ideal education have made our school one which we shall look hack upon with a swelling in our hearts. To show our app1'eeiatio11 for what you, the faculty and board of education, have done For us, we the seniors of nineteen hundred and thirty-five, repeetively dedi- cate the Trojan. Roberta File . .

Facultq In our small city -of Troy we Trojans are taught by a group, not with rods in their hands, but with patience and encouragement-the faculty. In the cominercial section of -our city Miss Tinkler teaches us to employ our fingers in type- writing I-Il and Ill-IV, and Miss Bollman instructs us in bookkeeping, pennmanship, and stenography I-ll, III-IV. All of us want to be opera singers so we vent- ure into the musical part of the city. Here we are iiistructed by Mr. Tllompson in glee club or in orchestra and band. ' Bend clown sister was practiced in the play room of our city, Miss Miller directing' until March l. Then Miss Edelblute continued to make the sisters bend down. .XVe can't. leave Troy without learning who Sliifkespeare was and to say aren't for ainitn, so we begin with Miss Schmitt, a.nd Miss Eclelblute, in English I-II, then advance to English III-IV under Miss Brown. Lastly, we proudly march to room 109 for finishing touches by Miss Kirtland. Miss Brown also teaches us to draw, paint, and print i11 the artist section. In the northwest corner of our city we learn about great heroes from Mr. Carmichael in Amer- ican History, constitution, and economics. He is aided by Mr. Chestnut in American history, and Miss Edelblute in modern history. M ay, 1935 Many learn how to sew, and take care ot' babies, under the instruction of Miss Green in clothing I-II, fo-ods I-II, and hoine living. f Ill a queer loking district of Troy stands that tall, solemn Clocking-J gentleman, Mr. Imes, suc- cessfully guiding our minds in the scientific chan- nels. Art teaches us to analyze bugs in biology, 311Cl Mr. Morrell teaches us-how to live in sociology. lVhen we go down what looks like a blind al- ley of our city we find ourselves in a workshop, managed by Mr. Rees in vocational agriculture. That young 1112111 with the hoylisli expression is Mr. Lawrence, who, with Mr. llluck, coached foot- ball and basketball. Mr. Lawrence also instructs boys' ,Q'ymna.siu1n. Mr. Muck tries to pound all the geometry, algebra, and advanced mathematics he can into our heads. ' 'tHink , or Mr. Hinkhouse, that handsome sheik of Troy, instructs manual training' I-II and III-IV and mechanical drawing. Down another alley of -our city, we come to that jolly little room 109. Here i'Kirt produces great Trojan orator-s and dehaters in public speak- ing. She also teaches journalism. Vlfhen we climb to the top of the hill Hlld look back upon our city with its busy streets, alleys, and st-ores we shall never forget that happy, courteous, punctual, and helpful group-our faculty.

M a y, 1935 Seniors Go Shakespearian- Mau 7, the '35 seniors presented their plan, Rollo's lDild Oat -proceeds helped pau or the '35 Trojan andthe new curtain in the auditorium. Rollo 's XVild Oat,'l a three act comedy, was wonderfully well presented by the senior class un- der the direction of Miss Gertrude Kirtland the evening' of M-ay 7 in the high school auditorium. The scenes of action shifted from time to time instead of occurring all in one -setting. Starting' in a New York apartment where all the major characters are brought together in prep- aration for the presentation of the Shakespearian tragedy, Hamlet, the scene shifts to a New York theatre. There the two major characters, Rollo XVebster and Goldie MacDuff, appear at an impressive candle lie-ht scene. Rollo has come to New York against the wishes of his grandfather, Horatio VVebster, to start ia career as a Shakespear- ian actor in Hamlet, while Goldie, a. beautiful hut timid actress, was chosen to play opposite him. Later they both rushed from the stage and to the home of Rollo 's ,e'randfat.her in response to a fieticious tele,e'ram sent by Mr. lVebster to draw Rollo away from New York. There the romance spring'ing' up between them ends with her accepting his proposal of marriage. 7 The conclusion of another romance woven into the play between Lydia, Rollo 's sister, and George CAST fLeflf to Righty Lydia, RolIo's sistcr...Justine James Whortley Campei-down, an actor... ......................Donald Walsh Thomas Skitlei-ling, an actor ....... ............,........Kenneth Wiens Mrs. Park-Gales, an actress .......

Three lyeeuni numbers were finaneed by this '0l'g'il.1llZHll0I1. The hall nionilor system which was started in 1933 was continued this year under the direction of the Student Counuil. Mr. E. M. Chestnut, principal of the high svhool, is sponsor of this organization. Learning to be journalists and having fun while leariiiug-more confusion-more hurry-- issue after issue-inches short-a story lost- no headlines-the B. H. S. Life in the making. Finally the issue was out and 110l'Illill life settled over the journalism ela-ss again and' quiet pre- vailed. Miss Gertrude Kirtland, junior English instruetor, sponsors the publication. Under her direetion the staff has tried to make the paper a representative of the entire school. 'lloward the end of the school year eanie a time when we recalled the happenings of our sehool lite illltl the outstanding events of the year-the task of editing the Trojan was before us. She walks and lo a trail of light appears. Seeing the beautiful aiming towards the best the Girl Reserves niarch on and ou. New girls and new ideas but always striving for the same ideals. Miss Brown, sophomore English and art instructor, has guided the organization during this year. Noisy, Nosey, tflatteriug, Cll?ltlOl'll1g-tll8,l',S the juniors. They are active in everything, they do ihings well. Gun-Shy , the name of their 1-lass play, is just the opposite of what they are. Their class president, Bertha Lynch, left Be- loit High Sch-ool on February 26 to attend school in Oniaha, Nebraska, and Shirlie Allen was elect- ed to take her place. The class sponsors of the year were Miss Solunitt, ehairnian, Miss Green, Mr. Hiukhouse and Mr. Tlionipson. Go 'llrojans Go yelled the pep club and with a niighty eff-ort the Trojans' bones rose again to victory. Since its organization in 1932 the pep elub has added spirit to the games and envouraged the rest of the student body to show more enthusiasin toward both football and bas- ketball games. To balance the boisterous juniors we have the quiet and sedate sophomore class. They are learning and they show it. They know how to have fun though as was shown by their class party on October 22. The class sponsors of the year were Mr. Muck, ehairnian, Miss Brown, and Mr. Rees. lVith the largest nienibership since the pros- eut sponsor, Mr. lines, eanie to Beloit High L6'l papal- MADNESS I School, the Hi-Y Club -of this year has been active in both a soeial and business way. The purpose of this organization is to ereate, maint-ain, and extend, through-out the school -and eonnnunity high standards of Uhristian eharaeter. The officers elected to direet the elub next. year are Paul llannah, presidentg Leonard Plott, vieg-presiden1'g Addison Pfautz, seeretraryg Ray Thomas, treasurer: Donald Schulz, world broth- erhoodg Manriee MeDonald, devotional chair- niang Harlan Rees, serviee ehairniang Roger lv0lllll0l', publieity ehairnian. liayly the little freshmen trooped to school. The cubs drifted along until they learned the ways and ineans of l1igl1 school, and until they eould take their part and earry it along in the proper inanner. Their first party was held on October 229, and then the joy of living really be- gan. To get -away from study and get to loaf together was a real treat. Learning to do and doing to learn is one olf the niottoes of the creed of the Future Farin- ers of America. which is a state and national or- ganization. Each lllelllllfll' is kept busy because of the erop and livestock projeets which each has to maintain. The real enj-oyinent of the -organ- ization eoines for those who are ehosen as judges at the Kansas Agricultural College at Manhat- tan. A dash of blue and then it is gone, and somewhere in the halls a. voiee is heard, Go'in out for G. A. Af! Many people are said to be gun-shy, and it proved true with Paul Hannah, alias Junior Drake, in the junior play, Gun-Shy . The setting of the play was most unusual with furs and guns in every nook and eorner. The play was snappy and held the attention of the aud- ienee throughout. The stage managers were Mary Annan and Ruth iflm-1-1-. The cast in- eluded: Mr. and Mrs. Drake.

Driving the wee balls through the noted Kansas dust storms, Paul Hannah, Orvis Pooler, Lee Sprenger, Roger lveltiner, and Donald Vet- ter took their daily exereise in playing golf. The boys were eoaehed by Coaeh Muck. They traveled to Belleville, April 27, and received fifth plaee in the league ranking. Banging through without a defeat in the tournament the te11nis squad eleared six points toward sweepstake honors. The tournament was on the loeal eourts Saturdav.

The biq parade this qear included a crustal ball, a banquet Hawaiian, Helen of Trou in the hospital 'carnival and other colorful events. NVhether it is school clothes or formal dress, tacky day or banquet night, Beloit High School has wh-at it takes to give the social side of school life its fullest Hlld most colorful meaning. In leafing through the first pages of these memories let us visualize once more the joys of those carefree days. The air is filled with tense excitement. Girls ga.ther in small groups here and t.here, chattering eagerly about how they look, as girls do. Deep voices strike a masculine note of app1'oval. The swish and rustle of yards of taffeta, the contrast of dark dress suits, the gleam of candle light on glis- tening crystal and airy silver balloons add a note of formality to the affair. Now you remeinber-the Senior-Junior Recep- tion given at the Rose Room on M-arch 9 that you had stored away in y-our box of memories. Those first formal occasions! The invocation was given by Ronald WValsh, senior class president, and the response by Bertha Lynch, jluiior class president. What does the Future Hold, a song composed by Merle lVitham, was sung by the girls' trio, Merle WVitham, Vir- ginia Ballard, and Helen Golladay. The trio also sang WNinter Wonderland. The program closed after David Ebey forcas-ted the futures of several students present while gazing into a crystal ball. There comes a time in every personis life, it seems, especially when 0119 is young, when the de- sire to sow wild oats is heeded. Thus it was witih the seniors of Beloit High School. 'iRollo's XVild Oat was the title of the senior play which was given May Tth at the high school auditorium. A large, responsive audience attended the play, and it was a financial success. O11 the wings of haunting Hawaiian music let us be carried back once 1ll01'C' into a setting of exotic Hawaiian grandeur. As we tu1'n another page of our memory book let us again visualize the Junior-Senior Banquet. given in the Methcplist Church on May 14 as it appeared to us them. ' Hawaiian fern and potted palms, tiny fresh pineapple and orange candles reappear as if by magic throughthe portals of memory. Dark palms in silhouet-e decorate the menu cover. Inside is found the menu in true Hawaiian style.

Xvise fools we were called, and with our wiseness we galloped gaily along, carefree Sophs ------- and another year glided by. Perhaps last year has taken its tolls from those carefree ranks, for i11 the fall of 1933 only ninety- three were enrolled as juniors. This year new re- spo11sihilities were heaped upon our shoulders.

The med- iocre, the indifferent, the -half-done have no plaee in the lives of eur most alert Trojans. This page displays only a few of the many specimens of per- fection in various fields, attained by students through the careful tutelage of the faithful di- rectors. The Smith twins are attired in what the well dressed senior should wear. 'lllirough long hours of labor Miss Green has taught them to dress to suit their personality and be attractive. The next pieture shows Ruthie Mercer in an attractive pose. Ruth has succeeded in learning' how to keep the home neat and tidy. lVe can als.: give Miss Green credit for her remarkable instruc- tion in this field. CNote the expression -on the face of the rug'-shaker. NVe wish to relieve Miss Green from all responsibility for that. Ruthie did that all by herselfj. And in the background Mary Annan portrays the ideal athlete. Miss Edelblute has reached the acnie of her teaching eareer in the marvelous re- sults she has attained by her emphasis on posture. Mary stands out among both Pep Club girls and G. A. A. girls for perfection in posture. ln ease you donlt know correct posture when you see it--- it must radiate energy, grace, vigor, and alertness. XVhether at work CJust try to catch Mary at itj or at play Mary demonstrates ,these qualities. lVhi1npy XVhorton has learned how to be a good sport beeause we can see that he is almost ready to give Miss Annan a blipp on the back. The question is how sporting will Mary be when she receives said blipp on said back. Always keep your eye on the ball, Paul , in- structs Mr. Muck when he takes his golf team for their airing. The photograph shows that Paul has followed Mr. Muck's instructions very earefully. fNote the position of the ieft hip-this was Paul 's idea--not Mr, Muc-k's.J Never could the Trojan pliotographers have found a more beautiful scene for a hackgrrounil than is shown in this picture. Miss Kirtland has stressed the fact that the baekgrrouiul is as import- ant as the person in the picture, and this certainly proves it. David Ebey. Rollo to youse guys, is a mere incident in this lovely photographic study of baekgrounding.

Losing gaine after game deadens the flame -of enthusiasm, but it was fanned into life again with the arrival to Beloit High School of Mr. Arthur Lawrence, former eoaeh ot Holton, Kansas, and Mr. Dalton Muck, formerly of Athens, Kansas. Spurring the boys to life with their genialness illltl good fellowship, they put a new spirit into the football squad. Cooked and primed, the newly resurrected Trojan bomb exploded on Downs, 19-0, Minneapolis, 13-0, Lincoln, 6-0, Belleville, 19-U, Osborne, 37-0. The remainder of the Trojan's schedule was a eombination of thrillers and heart-pullers. Beloit outfought Clay Center for a 18-7 win. The next gganie with the Junction City Blue Jays was Very close. Beloit eking out a 13-12 victory. Amid a record crowd the Smith Center Indians suirapped the Trojans string by winning 21-0. Be- loitfs next ,game was with the unfortunate Milton- va.le team who lost the services of their coach and some of the boys, and eonsequently were beaten very badly by Beloit, 43-0. Beloit then advanced on the lair of the Panthers of Concordia to play for the league ehainpionship. The Trojans ran wild the first half scoring fourteen points, but Concordia came back in the second frame piling up thirteen points. The final gun sounded as Concordia was on the verge of another touchdown, Beloit winning 14-13.

Pop came to Beloit in the year 1920 and has given his servi-ces to Beloit High School ever since. He has had only a few days off duty, and that was because of poor health. Pop stays at the school all hours of the clay, snatching only a few minutes off for meals, an-cl stays at night to allow play casts to practice.

These essays were on What Needed Im1prov'emeu'ts Would Make Beloit An Ideal City for Youth . Taking the ideas of the students the P. E. 0. is trying to develop them. Different mem-bers also gave teas for the junior and senior girls, offering them a 'place to meet community leaders, therefore we nominate them to the Hall of Fame. THE WALSH TWINS, because they are good -examples of Tro- jan warriors, and because of their sportsmanship, we nomin- ate them t.o the Hall of Fame. The twins, Ronald and Donald. all throufgh their four years in sports, football, basketball, and track, have never been guilty of any not unsportsmanly lor any unfairness. They have trained and .practiced hard and' have earned tour stripes apiece and also Donald two -stars for being captain and Ronald one.

March 8, the team played in-ii' last game with Concordia at Concordia. The game will be one lo n g - remembered-- mostly for the lark of real basketball- playing andthe at- titude of the crowd. Beloit won by the score 24 to 30. The boys will long remem- ber the regional tournament held at Concordia, March 15 and -16, not because Lincoln beat them the first ,night but because -of the blinding dust storm that eaused them to stay in the school house all night. Many have wondered .what happened that night. So, the basketball season ended for 1934-35, with the Trojans adding another eup to the trophy CEISG. The boys finished the basketball season with one reg'ret-that was that they had played their last game for Beloit llig-h Sehool.

Sometime during the year of 1935 there will he a national .observance of the three hun- drcdth anniversary of the American high school. In many high schools there will be ex- hibits showing the progress of the high school in these three hundred years. The anniver- sary of the first high school has prompted the celebration of the ter-centenary of sec- ondary education of the Uni- ted States.

In February, 1919, i'li25,000 bonds were voted to build an addition to the high school building. which had been tot small for the number of stu- dents attending. This was al- so completed in a year. On September 21, 1918, when the building burned, school was held in Beloit churches, the court room, and the city hall. The new building, which is now the Beloit High School building. was completed hy 1921. The new high school of- fered the Smith-Hughes course in vocational agriculture. Since that time Beloit High School has progressed in every field. striving to uphold the ideals of the institution.
