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!

As that fascinating form of mayhem called football swung under way, Coach ''Weplayedamarvelousgaine'l Murry and the boys worked hard.

Stu-dents even worked up enough enthusiasm to elect Betty Lenington queen, and Margaret Gurley and Rachel Young, attendants, but they weren't so happy in old Troy that th-ey c-ouldn't rejoice when the Teachers' Meeting on Nov. 7-8 afforded them two days vacation-Around this period, they threw in several lyceum programs to keep us under control, until the All-School party on Nov. 25 .... with Thanksgiving vacation two days later, we had a busy week. e Mins Kirtland and Miss Reynolds' home rooms bright- ened the monotony of Wediiesclay assembly with a Gay Ninetie-s Program and a Peek into a Family Album.

Both semesters were punctuated by periodic editions of B. H. S. Life-edited by Joan Power. Joan also won a district award given by the Daughters of the American 28
