ate 1939 TROJAN BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL BELOIT, KANSAS FOREWORD In a time when world peace and individual security is being threatened by racial hatred, bloody pogroms and religious bigotry, when individual liberty is being threatened by the ruthless hand of dictators, we the Class of 1939 dedicate this small book to the glorious spirit of peace and democracy, trusting that we, as citizens of the United States may serve our country in these trying times and help preserve the ideals of freedom for which our forefathers fought and died.

Wc, of the annual staff with the aid of Miss Kirtland, have attempted to capture the elusive quality of school life and record it herein so that you may keep its memories in the years to come. We have attempted to accomplish this by snapshots of school life, photos of activities, and stories about many things connected with school life. In the calendar you will find a complete resume of the years activities. We are thankful for the help of Miss Tinkler, who balanced the annuals budget and Mr Nightingale, who helped with the artistic arrangement of the pictures.

SENIOR SPONSORS: Miss Tinkler, Mr. Hinkhouse, Miss Kirkland ‘ To graduate or not to graduate” was the question in the minds of 71 little “freshies” four years ago. They started out with plenty of zip and only lost three members during the year. They were George Charboneau, L. W. Norman, and Junior Brown. All the remaining members returned for work the ne-xt year and found that they had risen one point in the minds of the upperclassmen. They added one more member during the vacation—Connie Lytle—making the class evenly matched. To keep things even they lost three more members— Raymond Duley, Charles Petterson, Helen Geisler, and gained one, W’arren Smith. By the next school term they found that they had finally been accepted into the school and so they, as “snooty juniors” began to lord it over the lower-classmen. They presented a very successful play “Spring Fever” under the direction of Miss Schmitt and in the spring entertained at the Jr.-Sr. Banquet with the theme of the ‘End of the Rainbow’ which was a gala affair. The year was marred by heavy casualties, for they lost eight students. Those missing were William Casleman, Jerry Hummel, Leona McKeage, Harold , Stuewe, Vernon Wagner, and Gertrude Goodrich. During the latter part of the year they gained three members— Merrium Stevens, Virginia Metzler, and Leo Schmidt. The next year was the long anticipated one. They had finally become “dignified seniors” with the aid of Miss Kirtland, Miss Tinkler, Mr. Hinkhouse, and Mr. Imes. January 4, they honored the juniors with the reception, using the theme of ‘The Lambeth Walk’. Merrium Stevens dropped from their ranks the first of year and Vernon Wagner rejoined them. During the latter part of the year Virginia Metzler moved to Topeka and Lola Baxter to St. Francis, Kansas. The remaining seniors are thankful that they have spent four successful years of school life in the City of Troy without serious mishap. PAGE 5 C. M. BALLARD JR.

You can’t tell any of the 13 members of the B. H. S. Life staff that it’s an unlucky number. Their class consisted of 13 members from beginning to end, and their year proved very successful, as well as enjoyable. It seems that some of the staff are just “chips off the old blocks.” Alan and Hardin Houghton’s dad is the editor of the Beloit Daily Call and Vernon Fairchild and Delmar Wicks’s dads are make-up men for the “Call.” Don Mc-Knight and Delmar Wicks are distributers of the “Call.” Hardin is the “wrapper-upper” of mailing lists for the “Call” and his brother. Alan, is the “Jack of all departments,” he helps any place he is needed. The object of the “Life” is to present the facts, and fancies, of the life of students in B. H. S., and to keep a permanent record for future years. The “B. H. S. Life” ar.d the “Trojan” were sponsored by Miss Gertrude Kirtland.

Creating school spirit, the fifty-three Pep Club members gave life and promoted loyalty to the school. Miss Turner sponsored the club, which is chosen by application for their pep, character, and scholarship by Mr. Chestnut and Miss Turner. Vested in their orange sweaters and black skirts they helped cheer our teams to victory many times. As a money making scheme the Pep Club organized a check room at the basketball games. They presented in pep assembly many original skits namely, Princess Beloit and the Eleven Trojans, The Old Apple Tree in the Orchard, Little Orange Trojan. Cheerleaders, elected by the club, are Lola Baxter, Virginia Beasley, and Joan Burkhead. Lola moved to St. Francis, and three new cheerleaders were trained this year, namely, Dorothy Wilson, Virginia Metzler, and Betty Lou Morrell. PAGE 17 G. R.

R. - Hi-Y Collaborate On Joint Program President, Dick White —Robert Ingram More than ever this year the Hi-Y and G.R. clubs have cooperated in having similar and joint events to make these activities more enjoyable. On October 10, our Hi-Y club acted as host for the annual district conference of officers. “Hot Copy”, directed by Mr. Nightingale, was the biggest event of the year. The G.R.-Hi-Y party was held in the gymnasium on the evening of November 22. Parents of the members of the Hi-Y and G.R. clubs were entertained with several banquets throughout the year; the G.R. Dad-Daughter party on February 19, the Hi-Y Father-Son banquet on February 22, and the G.R. Mother-Daughter banquet of April 11. Several times during the year the officers of the clubs have enjoyed cabinet suppers that were prepared and served by the G.R. in the Home Economics department. Miss Carol Pearson is the sponsor of the G.R. club, and Mr. Paul Imes and Mr. George Nightingale are the sponsors of the Hi-Y club. m OUR LEISURE TIME TOP ROW—Left to Right: Dressing Up (M. L.

The question “Resolved that United States and Great Britain Should form an Alliance” was discussed five times by Beloit debaters in the course of the year. The first debate took place at Belleville, on November 19. Although the debates were not judged, the Beloit squad gained valuable experience. Then Beloit went to Lincoln on December 8 for a practice debate and Lincoln came to Beloit on January 5. On January 21, Beloit’s squad participated in a tournament debate at Lebanon which included a huge territory of schools with the boundaries being Lincoln on the south, Hastings, Nebraska on the north, Concordia on the east, and Russell on the west. Two weeks later on February 6, Lebanon came to Beloit for a practice debate. The Grand Climax of the debate season came on February 11, at the Clay Center League Tournament at which Junction City won and Beloit tied with Clay Center and Belleville for fourth place.

The purpose of this year's council was to express student opinion and make suggestions instead of rules. Another change was the reduction of membership from two to one from each home room so that other organizations could be represented. A new school creed was adopted and presented to the school at the initiation assembly for the freshmen which the council planned and presented. Altholigh the members voted to meet every other Monday, only three meetings wrere held this year; however the activities of arranging lyceum programs, selling activity tickets, and helping other student organizations were carried out effectively under the new plan.
