Beloit High School - Trojan Yearbook (Beloit, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1937 volume:

THE 5EHIER EEA55 EELEIT hFeH SEHEDL BELEIT, KANEAE HIT Since 1931 the only yearbook Beloit High School has published has been exclusively a senior annual. This year the staff has attempted to publish an all-school annual showing the activities of, not only the senior class, but also the other classes and the school organizations. The staff believes an all-school yearbook creetes greater unity among classes, organizations, and faculty members. If this has been accomplished, Beloit High School will profit. EXECUTIVES ”Now,eh-eh,did I ever tell you about my operation, well you see it’s like this------” Mr. Morrell has thus entered into one of hia lengthy speeches which concerns one of his sev- eral hospital visits. Superintendent John Morrell holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Kansas University and Chicago University. Amid his own vicinity, Mr.Morrell taught two years in rural schools and has been teaching in the Beloit High School for the past sixteen years. He enjoys to see a contented school faculty and he dislikes very much to undergo major operations. Mr. Morrell’s hooby is the investigation along social trends. Just a few announcements”-you guessed it—Mr. Chestnut has stepped into the spot light. For seven years, Principal E. M. Chestnut has worked loyally in the City of Troy. Before coming to Beloit he taught for two years at Esbon,Kansas,then seven years at Senior High in Manhattan.Mr.Chestnut attended K. U. at Lawrence and K. S. C. at Manhattan, tie nas an A. B. and an M. S. degree. His favorite hobby is playing golf. Always in his spare time one can see him going to the golf course to indulge in this sport. Mr. Chestnut loves apples and always has some with him. Conversation and staying at home are his favorite pastimes, his dislikes are disorder, doing nothing, and slang.

The Future Farmers of America is a state and national organization composed of members of vocational agriculture classes. This -organization believes farm life is enjoyable and profitable. One of the alms is to raise the standard of living of the farmer through organized efforts. A member is first initiated as a Green Hand and receives a bronze button. After a year, the Green Hand is initiated into the organization as a Future Farmer and he receives a gold button. The organization has regular monthly programs and recreation periods. A watermelon feed was given this fall for the new Future Farmers. Money to pay state and national fees was raised by helping run the concession stand at football games. Each year a stock judging, team goes to the state contest at Manhattan. FEETEAEL Top Row: Anderson, Ireland, Weir, Hamburg, Porter, Olson- Middle Row: Ass t Coach Muck, Quick, Maynard, Conn, Ra.

Although handicapped by a lack of experience and weignt Coach Prentup built a speedy, fast charging football team to represent the City of Troy in the 1936 season. Captained by Kenny Schmitz the Trojan footballers defeated Downs and Minneapolis in two non-league tilts, ran away from Belleville in their first league game won from the fighting Osborne Bulldogs, and continued the winning streak to five games by winning their second league game, this time from Clay Center. Outweighed and playing in a Kansas windstorm, the lighter Beloit team, broke their winning streak by a defeat at the hand of Concordia.Stinging with defeat the Trojans then took the undefeated Lincoln hi team. Playing their best game of the season Beloit held to a scoreless tie the highly-touted and undefeated Smith Center Redskins. In the final game of the season the Trojans were thrown for a loss by Junction City, who won the league with this victory- Opp—Beloit Downs 0 14 Minneapolis 0 — 13 Belleville 7 29 Osborne 0 — 12 Clay Center 0 13 Concordia 14 13 Lincoln 6 — 12 Smith Center 0 0 Junction City 21 — 6 Indicates League EAEKETEALL Top Row: Hiner,Ri.Michels, R.Briney,Conn, M.Maynard,File, Center Row: Coach Prentup, Maxwell,Jelinek, ( .uick,Weir, H.Emmot, Beard-more, Wagper principal Chestnut.Bottom Row:Olson,W.Emmot, White, Plott, Ra.Michels, Smith, Hamburg.

Although small, the Trojans never gave up. This was characterized in the game with Junction City which Beloit won 30-27 after the half ended 15-3 in Junction City s favor. Beloit won the regional tournament at Concordia by defeating Lincoln, Smith Center, and Marysville. The Trojans were defeated by a tall Topeka quintet in the first round of the state tournament, but remained to see the rest of the tournament. The Trojans pulled many surprises in their b.attles on the maples—such as defeating Marysville on their home courts, and whipping the undefeated Osborne Bulldogs. They were the first boys team to represent Beloit High at the state tournament. All in all the Trojans won 15 games and lost 8 in the seasonfs play. TFF1CK Top Row: Coach Prentup, F.Wagner, T.

' Track is an individualistic sport in which the success of the team depends entirely upon the individual and his coach. Unlike football or basket-ball, the team succeeds through each man!s own individual initiative. Although track hasnft obtained as much publicity and praise as other sports in Beloit,it is gaining popularity among the students and local sport fans Beloit has had in the last few years, good track teams, and as this article is being written, prospects for the 1937 team look exceptionally fine. ,Jelinek shows real improvement from his 1936 record in the quarter mile; Houghton promises to be 'a 1ine quarter miler and Richard White proves his skill in handling the shot put. The team of 1938 should also be a good team due to the fact that only two members, Hylas Smith and Markley Case, will be graduated this spring.

Not new to the sport world, but new to b.H.S. are golf and tennis. Two years ago the school built three fine new tennis courts which were put to use instantly. That team was coached by Mr. Carmichael for two years and his vacancy was filled by Mr. Hines. Prospects look good for our 1937 team. The first golf team was coached by Mr. Isaacson in 1934. The team proved successful for 3 years and the present team under the direction of Coach Muck looks equally as good. Mr. Muck reports that the team is doing fine work so far and looks forward to a successful sea- son. Top Row: Coach Hines, Earle, Farrow, Mehl, Shadowen, Wenger, Quakenbush.

Aileen Hackett, our secretary-treasurer, is so gloomy that she has no frenz. With all our klass dues, 2. Carleo Giles is so rich he duzznt need 2 take a bath. He goes 2 the kleeners. At leest he sed he got cleaned the other day. He informs me that he was matching pennies at the time.

For to-day I go to graduate! I told my Ma I wasn't well, She said, You go straight to school. To-day you dare not to be late For to-day you go to graduate! I bent over to tie my shoe. I tore my pants and cussed a while or two. Who, me? I'm not angry at my fate, For to-day I go to graduate! Much adn about everything-- The Seenyurs get the dickens. If we aren't thu smartust in skule we get heck; if things rote with white wash appeer on the sidewalk the seenyurs get hanged; if the Junyurz happen to stuff the ballet box the fond public sez, It's a wonder it wasn't the seniors. It's a grate life if you kan stand it. Nevurthuless, kepe pushin onward, upward, straight ahead, push------well, make up yore mind wich way yore going 2 push!
