BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL BELOIT, KANSAS I FOREWORD ODAY, IN A NATION afrmed and fighting for her life and way of living, we are called upon to make apparent sacrifices that are essential to winning the war. RA TIONIN G-The Government pleas for cooperation with rationing, conservation of gas, rubber, s'ugar, coffee, shoes, and canned goods, and prevention of inflation. These are vital in the minds of our people. Our student life now has a certain added seriousness. The stepped-up tempo of tlze curriculu-ni, compulsory physical training, and outside work leave us students little time to waste. Many of us have received our notices to report for training after graduation and have seen friends desert civilian life for that of the services. In past years graduates either picked a vocation to follow and prepared themselves for a definite position of some kind when the opportunity arose, though it sometimes took several years, or were obliged to take the first position that was offered to them. This year work of all kinds is plentiful. Part of us will enter defense industries, filling clerical and machine positions. Mafny of us will go to the farm to assist with the operation of farm machinery during harvest. Those of us who do not enter some branch of the service will easily find work in the war effort. As each of us approaches graduation into this challenging world, we must pause to pay tribute to the courageous spirit of America which it is our privilege to share. May we cherish this spirit when we are called for our turn as the ones before us have done, and do our tasks as well as they. In liglzt of the things mentioned we, the seniors of 1943, dedicate this book as tlze United States Naval Academy did theirs, The Lucky Bag ' last year-- To peace which must be fought for from time to time. 2 f f 'A' 'k ' frames:-isa . .

H711 is wk 1 HROUGHOUT our nation, the schools have necessary to a rich, full life, while stressing temporarily curtailed cultural subjects, vocational subjects necessary to winning this war that we may have the freedom so vital to a life worth living. Our American schools are the pin in the hand grenade of the war effort, and American students have the power to pull that pin. Our school, during this period of war, not only provided instruction in the ways of democracy and the means of preserving it, but also rendered serv- ices which are essential to a total war effort. This is true for the registration services conducted by the school and for the rationing of commodities by the Gffice of Price Administration. Upon the recommendation of the VVar Board, the Board of Regents requested that the departments of physical education and athletics give a physical conditioning, non-credit course conforming to Army and Navy requirements. Our school conformed to this requeSt without hesitation. Seventh and Eighth grade stu- dents produced model aircraft projects. Since there is no regular geography class in the schedule, the Rotary International speakers aided the students immensely in international fields. Many of our teachers have left for armed forces, war work and war industry, those at home took up the extra load. Wfartime activities during school hours-stimulat- ing war bond and stamp sales, salvage drives, Red Cross drive, which totaled 317422, shop classes repairing non-obtainable home devices free-of- charge, American History students kept up with the news by listening to Boake Carter and Sidney Mosbley broadcasts, a new subject, aeronautics, was added, and journalism students furnished many wartime editorials and news items. The other aspects in education related the changing of the curriculum for post war needs. The school can be depended upon to contribute services through the use of its personnel and equipment for the promo- tion of a total-war effort. These war contribution and sacrifices may seem slight, but the combined effort of 31,000,000 teachers and students who constitute the schools of our country is a force of enormous power. The part students play is necessary and great. This is the group of our total population that constitute the hope of America tomorrow. Not only will students help win the war but they will undertake the responsibilty of constructing a new and better world. 3 Wir Q iililti ig A . J Mus? 1.

H. S. Life sponsor. Page editors were appointed in September and have changed during the year: These editors as- signed material to reporters and outlined their page dummies which served as patterns for the make-up man at the Daily Call, printers of each issue. The first month of school was spent in acquainting students with leads, news coverage, editorials, and news, sports, and feature stories. The first issue rolled from the press, Sept. 29. Writing faults were detected, and were amended accordingly in following issues at two weeks inter- vals. Six issues were rinted the first semester i-1 ..- Particular stress was placed on the war effort with stories on war bonds and stamps, scrap drives, tire, gas, shoe and food rationing, model plane building, defense trades, paper campaign, physical fitness, taxes, and the armed forces. Several scoops were spied and printed. On two occasions when all copy was at the printer and being set up, a Troyite was shot in a hunting accident. Athletics cavorted on the fourth page-football, basketball, and track. The Beloit Regional Basketball Tournament cap- tured page 1 prominence. After a heated senior class meeting, the jour- nalism class accepted the duty of editing the 1943 Trojan. Work formally began on Feb. 22, and each class member crammed all spare time towards year- book production for the remainder of the semester. Faced with a time shortage, they pulled into a stretch with this twenty-two page Trojan-a book written and printed for everybody's enjoyment. p .... four 15 in. by 10 in. pages in each, except the initial publication which had a two-page insert. Nearly every. issue had a Scholastic Roto insert which was edited by the National Scholastic Press Association. weak 3 lacy ' we 1 geo wwe wfgo naw ,A W' ov., 90 5960 aoxbto ' . 1'8- gtoqqexws 5939600 6v,a'f1X5l1q.a'XX9 Y we 02602 NWS -We 050 'S-W twb- qu?

A rleta Weir Vice-President .... Norma Kethcart Secretary ..... .... V irginia Harlow Treasurer .......................... Joan Gaddis What does the pep club really do? This is 2. question that is asked many times, and the answer is the same as always, practically everything . Who puts on the pep assemblies? Who peps up the football or basketball teams and shows them that we are really behind them, win or lose? Who hollere the loudest when we make a touchdown or a basket? Who sings the most eagerly when 'we sing our school songs? Who sighs the hardest when we are defeated? Yes, it is our pep club! Florance McGinnis and Arleta Weir, seniors, have completed their third successful year as cheer- leaders and Betty Holloway, Beverly Eldringhoff, and Adaline Harbison are prepared to take over this important task for the next few years. on her splendid supervision and suggestions which have led to the growth and improvement of this organization. Due to the addition of the compulsory Physical Fitness program, Miss Morgan has had to shoulder an extra number of classes and discontinue the G. A. A. organization. The pep assemblies presented by the pep club have been peppy and entertaining. Some of the outstanding programs were: on Oct. 30 when Verna Helrnbrecht, midst ghosts, pumpkins, cats and corn- stalks, represented Madame Wodermexellkalam- azoo , and chanted in a weird voice predictions of the oncoming game with Lincoln, on Jan. 29 when an original Truth or Consequences skit written by Bob Collison, was presented, selected students were asked questions over the microphone and generally hilarious consequences followed. Then on Feb. 11 the pep band, pep club in orange and black sweaters, and some Boy Scouts, combined in the presentation of the flag and the singing of the national anthem and God Bless America between the halves at the Beloit-Mankato bout.

Stepping into the shoes Mr. Dungan left, Mr. Eugene Tice, returning to his alma mater, turned out splendid performances all year. His department included directing band, orchestra, boys' chorus, girls' chorus, mixed chorus, junior band and orch- estra, a class of grade school tonettes, and he also gave music lessons during every hour of the day. To start the baton swinging, the marching band, led by drum majorette Emogene Saindon, and clad in classy orange and black uniforms, performed at every home football game. In addition to football games, they played at three conventions. During basketball season a chosen pep band pepped the boys and audience. The band also started the N.C. K.L. track meet off with a few marches. Their big moment came when they presented their spring concert March 16, at the Municipal Building, which included a twirling exhibition and soloists along with the band. Girls' chorus and mixed chorus appeared in the Christmas program sponsored by both grade and high school. The orchestra, much improved in per- sonnel and ability, appeared at both senior and junior plays, and commencement. Junior band and orchestra appeared May 7, in the grade school program. To wind up a successful year, the entire high school music department presented their last pro- gram May 14, which included numbers by the band, orchestra, boys' chorus accompanied by the band, girls' chorus, mixed chorus, flute quartette, brass sextette, string sextette, and the girls' athletic department dramatized the Three Blind Mice novelty. Although there was no music contest because of rationing, several soloists appeared in auditions at Lindsborg during Messiah Week. A A We Q Top Row-R. Barrett, C. Colby, B. Frew, J. Jones, H.

For the first time in the history of B.H.S., fans witnessed the crowning of a basketball queen, who was Miss Charlene Belden. For the second year, Beloit was host to the State Regional Basketball Tournament. Beloit won the first game but fell before Osborne in the semi- finals. Frank Davies, captain, made a record by making 185 points for the season. Finishing his third year at Beloit High, Coach Murry has had a call to better hunting grounds.
