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.

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

Troians Cn Parade .... 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.
