In the editcr's uneasy chair sits Rebecca Vallette, after sewing four years on the staff. Joan Power, a staff member for two years, handled the Trojan's finances, as business manager, and also did her s-hare of the writing. Cartooning is second na- ture to Margaret Gurley, who served three years on the staff, and was appointed art editor in 1942. Work on this book started last summer, and the staff has toiled away all year to make this annual the best yet! 'rep new-Phyllis Clark, 'rheda Norris Front Row-Margaret Gurley, Earl Shurtz, Bob McCall Without the help and persistent drive of our sponsors, Miss Gertrude Kirtland and Miss Kathryn Reynolds, the Trojan wouldn't have gone to press until sometime next summer. Clipping and mounting the pictures has been the tedious work of Phyllis Clark and Theda Norris, who have really come through. Although only several are pictured on this page, Earl Shurtz, Bob McCall, Betty Lenington, Carl Gildersleve, Jim Jones, and Rachel Young have completed the writing for the book.

December 7, 1942--Pearl Harbor-Japanese Treachery no more tires-sugar shortage-World War II-headlines and news flashes scream momentous news! The school year of 1941-1942 has been one of national importance. It has also been one of importance and achievement for the seventy-one graduating seniors. Trojan Field and the Football Queen-Regional Basketball Tournament - a semi-formal reception - sneak -Senior Play-Commencement-these are but few of the high- lights that '42 graduates will remember. Clifford Houghton, elected by classmates as their leader, proved an excellent choice. He was also president of FFA during his senior year, after serving two years in the club. Other activities in which Clifford partici- pated were Hi-Y, Student Council, Football, and Basketball. Edwin Cooke successfully executed the duties of vice-president. His work in Hi-Y entitled him to his Cabinet position for junior and senior years. He was a member of the Life Staff and Student Council, and ap- peared in the All-School Play, The Hoosier Schoohnaster. Harold Hubbard, capable treasurer of the senior class, gave a repeat performance of his freshman year, when he was elected as class secre- tary and treasurer. Musically, Harold has contributed greatly as a mem- ber of band, orchestra, clarinet quartet, woodwind quintet, and as clarinet soloist. He served in Hi-Y, Student Council, Debate, Tennis, Track, as School-Party Chairman and Reception Program Chairman. As Dr. Yen, he played in Relatives by Affection. Barbara Sherrard efficiently accepted the position of class Sec'etary. She also gave her time and talents in the following activities: GR, GAA, Pep Club, Chorus, Band, Archery Club, Masque and Gavel Club. She appeared on the high school stage in Why the Chimes Rang and Relatives by Affection. ' 9+ wlnoopsl f X I'o ' r Q'-vwf i JACK E.

'That 'was just what the Beloit High seniors dished up last night in the form of Oliver Go1dsmith's im- mortal, 'tShe Stoops To Conquer, a comedy in five-acts, which was pre- sented at the Beloit high school auditorium before a large apprecia- tive audience. The time of the play was around 1773 when Goldsmith's play was first produced at Convent Garden, London. Colonial costumes with all their lace, wigs, etc. added to the plays reality. Most of the action takes place in the drawing room of the Hardcastle house. Other scenes take place in' the Three Jolly Pigeons alehouse and in the garden of the Hardcastle Estate. The s-tory begins where Squire Hardcastle informs his daughter, Kate, that he has chosen her future husband and that he is enroute to their estate. The chosen husband- to-be is Young Marlow, son of Sir Charles Marlow, an old friend of the Squire's. Young Marlow was described as a handsome, well-edu- cated, but also a very modest chap. During their journey to the Hard- castle estate, Young Marlow and his companion, George- Hastings, become lost, and wonder into the Three Jolly Pigeonsn Squire Hardcastle discovers the identity of the travelers, but they. believing him to be an inn keeper, treat Hardcastle quite rudely. Con- stance Neville, sweetheart of Hast- ings, arrives at the house and in- forms Hastings of their mistake, But it's too late to warn Young Marlow. Marlow shows his dual person- ality when he timidly ,meets his bride-to-be. As the result of Mar- low's shyness of modest women, he fails to glance in the face of Kate. Mistaking her later as a bar maid, he makes love to her, which further complicates the proceedings. Finally told of his mistake, Marlow feels like a cad and begins to leave at once. Sir Charles Marlow arrives at the sceneg Squire Hardcastle and Young Marlow reach a better un- derstandin-g and the play ends with everyone happy but Mrs. Hard- castle. The Squire informs his step- son, Tony Lumpkin, that he has be- come of age and his days of taking orders from Mrs. Hardcastle have ceased. Lumpkin promptly refuses to go through with marrying Con- stance Neville, as planned by Mrs. Hardcastle, and places the way for Constance and Hastings to wed. Earl Sihurtz as Young Marlow and Bob Biddinger as Tony Lumpkin were the outstanding actors of last night's production and showed plenty of dramatic talent. The leading feminine roles were taken by Rebecca Vallette as Mrs. Hard- castle, Joan Power as Kate Hard castle, and Bob Jelinek was cast in the diffi- cult role of Squire Hardcastle, and handled this part masterfully. Paul McKeage as George Lumpkin also handled a leading role in fine fash- ion. Clifford Houghtonls part as Diggory, the Squire household ser- vant, put this. comedy role over in fine shape. Minor roles, but nevertheless im- portant ones. were taken by Harold Hubbard as Sir Charles Marlow and Aminadab, Milon Axtell as Roger, Bob McCall as Stingo, Jack Adams as Slang, Jim Jones as Mat Muggins, and Louise Williams as Maid. The job of caring for the proper- ties was handled by Barbara Bock and Wilma Powell. Programs and posters were under the sponsorship of Miss Tinkler and her students, Margaret Gurley, Phyl- lis Clark, Charlene Minges, Chan'- lotte Hunt, and Margaret Caselman. Bob Collison and Barbara Sher- rard were the make-up artists. Mr. Hinkhouse had charge of the ticket sales campaign. The class was especially grateful to the Raleigh Furniture Company for the use of their solid furniture collection. The quartet of Charlene Minges, pianog Frank Creitz, cellog Monte Gaines, violing and Nadine Adams, flute, provided the music between acts. ' ?

With the membership roll call topping all previous records since way back, the Girl Reserve Club began the '-11-'42 year in earnest. As in former years the school book exchange was managed by the G. R. This, as well as sponsoring the refreshment stand at athletic events, served as a means of financing the club 's yearly activities. A Trojan Etta-Kett book, explaining the do 's and don ft 's of high school life was begun alld partially finished, but with the change of World events more time was given to community and Red Cross work. Proving that girls can forget lipstick, angora sweaters, frilly hats and men, they went all out for relief work by knitting, piecing quilts, sewing layettes and making bandages. The fall conference at Minneapolis was attended by ten girls who brought back a certificate honor award for outstanding organization wo1'k. At the end of the first semester Miss Brien, G. R. sponsor accepted at teaching position in Wyoming and left Miss Turner to assume her duties as advisor. 20 an of hr X A 6 , an 0 e'.a- ,fijifjh N x v if ,.

But as the progress of this yearls club is recorded there is one realistic effort that will stand out. This is the waste paper campaign waged by members of the club in the interest of National De- fense. Many tons of old newspapers and magazines were collected and sold to factories which remade them into defense products. The proceeds were donated to the Red Cross. Although handicapped by the loss of our sponsor, J. Boyd Finney, who accepted a civil service position in the army air corps at the close of the first semester, Mr. Hines and Mr. Chestnut stepped into his position and finished the term. The Hi-Y cooperated with the Girl Reserve club by sponsoring a sweetheart party during the Valentine season and in operating the concession stand at the football stadium.

H. S. Life reached a new high in success. A list of over forty downtown subscribers added to the twenty-six mailed exchanges gave the Lifey' a wider circulation than ever before. Fifty per cent of the All School Play proceeds went to the Journalism department, and they in turn undertook the play's advertising campaign. A policy of courtesy was adopted, the staff endeav- ored to express and stress within all four pages of the paper every phase of courtesy which would be more attractive for high school students to possess. A special effort t-o give equal publicity to all school activities and organizations, not bending over backwards for a select few, was another yearly policy adopted by the staff. The Life served not only as a 'source of enjoyment a.nd in- formation but also, which is of greater importance, :is a permanent record for future years. This is, perhaps, the only accurate statement of school life available in years to come. . No account of the Journalism department would be complete without mentioning the help and advice which Miss Kirtland, sponsor, gave for the betterment of this yea.r's paper. Through thick 'n' thin she slaved as hard as the staff to put out the reputable paper that the B. H. S.

They were: Pres., Verna Helmbrechtg Vice- Pres., Ilah Burkheadg Secretary, Mildred Cole, Treas., Char1ene'Beldeng Program Chairman, De- lores Cables, Song Leader, Betty Morrell. The Second Semester's major activities started off with a bang when thirty girls suited up for basketball.

' 'V The Future Farmers of America is a national organ- ization of two hundred and thirty thousand farm boys studying vocational agriculture. The Beloit chapter of the F. F. A. has a membership of twenty-eight boys Who practice their national motto of Learning by Doing by combining their head and hand-training to do useful things. The purpose of the F. F. A. organization is to develop leadership, character training, cooperative ae- tivities, and create a love for rural life for the farm boy. The Beloit chapter is proud of the new farm shop building and the Work they are doing for the defense of our country. Our F. F. A. Chapter is helping in the de- fense prognam by farm machinery repair, con-struction of farm buildings, the increase of livestock and crops by our farming program, the planting of Victory gardens and the buying of defense stamps. The total inventory of all programs this year was over S9000 with a borrowed capital of 353000. This made the average net Worth of each boy approximately 8225. y The F. F. A. boys believe that rural America can and will hold true to the best traditions in our national life, and they can exert an influence in their homes and community that will stand for their part in that inspiring task of national emergency. ' r 25 Way back in 1934 a bunch of blowers banded to- gether. To this banded bunch of blowers some drum- mers were added. Still later baton twirlers joined the ranks of the banded blowers and drummers and today they are known as the Beloit Trojan band. In the beginning these eight or ten tooters were or- ganized primarily as a pep band, whose sole purpose it was to add noise and excitement to basketball games. Later, as more members filed into the organization the noise and excitement gave way to music which made the band so important they were asked to piayinot only for basketball but for football and every other thing that came to B. H. S. In 1935 these pep band mem- bers grew restless of sitting every time they played so a second band was born-the Trojan marching band. 1936 brought a new music instructor, Mr. Fitch, to Troy who was soon to revolutionize the entire band set- up. Every other morning before school band members were called from peaceful slumber to keep step with the left - right - left - right drum cadence and blasting notes of brass horns. 1939 added new glamour to me band in the form of flashy orange and black uniforms. The twirlers carried out the Trojan warrior theme with shining steel hel- mets and shin guards, gold embroidered fish scale coats, and white satin pleated skirts. Beginning in 1938, Mr. Dungan stepped into the helm to bring the band up to a highly superior rated band. At district music festivals for the last three years Beloit has been given a high.y superior rating which made them eligible to participate in the national festi- vals. The most thrilling out of town trip was in 1940 at the national meet at Kansas City. Marching bands were judged as they maneuvered in the huge Municipal Aud- itorium arena. It was the first time the B. H. S. band had experienced parading in an enclosed building, but they marched off with a superior rating, nevertheless. At the national meet at Topeka last year they were also rated superior. h Members and their instruments are: Cornets-Phyllis Baker, Margaret Barrett, Delrna Giersch, Joan Johnson, Max Johnson, Betty Morrell, Richard Pickler, Lowell Scoggan, Phil Tice, and Margaret Wolz, Clarinets-Char- lene Belden, Noel Belles, Betty Briney, Richard Broad- bent, Phyllis Clark, Billie Eldringhoff, Max Fobes, De- lores Henry, Corlyn Holbrook, Harold Hubbard, Norma Kethcart, Betty McElwain, Betty McCormick, Faith Noah, Jane Pooler, Norma Quick, Phyllis Shehi, Mayola Sherbondy, Barbara Tice, Rachel Weaver, Louise Wil- liams, Flutes-Nadine Adams, Bonnie Chestnut, Ar- lene Mastin, Jane Minges, Barbara Sherrard, Izetta Weaver, French Horn--Orsena Case, Richard Holway, John Kindscher, String Bass-Donald Clark, Shirley Lundblade, Sousaphone-Bob Collison, Norman Donker, Baritone-Marvel Dodd, Gene Johnson, Joan Power, Saxophone-Virginia Duvall, Pat Jaggar, Maurine Mc- Donald, Snare Drum-Bill Howard, Betty Jack, Trom- bone-Pat Power, Bob Severance, Lloyd Pruitt, Bass Drum-Charles Donker, Cymbals-Junior Holway, Bas- soon-Lois Houghton, Oboe - Margie Kent, Piccolo - Rosa Lee Roquet, Tympani-Margie Underhill, Twirlers -Lillie Mae Axtell, Darlene Duncan, Gloria Earle, Patty Jaggar, Emogene Saindon, Rebecca Vallette, Rachel Weaver, Rachel Young, Betty Williams, Drum Major- Betty Lenington. t K , f , - : b X4 iw!

On Dec. 3, the curtain was raised for the first play of the year, The Ugly Ducklingj, a three- act comedylpresented by the Junior class. For the first time a box-set was used, and to give the audience even more eye-appeal the stage was charming with summer garden furniture. The plot was of the every day problems' of 15 year old Pat Holmes, whose life seemed to be unpleasant- ly clouded by a new step-mother, a movie-star sis- ter, and boy friend troublesg however, like most modern plays, the play had a glad turn in the end Including a record-breaking cast of twenty- seven characters the all- school-play, Hoosier Schoolrnasterf' was presented in the high school auditorium before a large and enthusiastic crowd, Feb. 25. Spelling bees, a trial, and life in Flat- creek, Indiana, in 1871, constituted the plot and scene for the play. The stage setting was complete from the old rocking chair down to the cider jug in the hillbilly's cabin, and from blackboards to wooden benches in the school room.
