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
