Among the following pages you will find comparisons of school life with that of the Army. For instance, the faculty members are desig- nated as lieutenant generals while the administration is under the head- ing of four-star generals. Senior class officers are the commanding offieers and the class members are known as lieutenants. According to rank, your junior friends are called sergeants, sophomores, corporals: and the freshmen, of course, are found under the heading buck privates. Other phases of life in an Army camp are presented in the guise of our school activities. VVar correspondents illustrate and describe the staffs of the B. H. S. Life and the Trojan. Camp Drama includes the casts of our junior and senior plays produced during the year. Physical fitness. which is stressed in the life of every soldier, is repre- sented on our five pages devoted to sports. The spirit of the American people is expressed in various ways such as on the Home Front page, the Food for America section, and among the Morale Boosters, known as the Pep Club. Representing the a'tainment of higher goals, the Army Specialized Training Program is the heading on the Hi-Y page. The G. R. is parallel- ed with the Army Reserve. Fort Troy Musicians are pictured in a two- page layout, the First Fitizens of Troy are pictured, a calendar depicting the entire school year is in the center of the book, scenes about the camp may he noted, and a map of the setup is on the last page. The soldiers of Fort Troy, like those of the United States Army, :ire moving forward with their eyes fixed on a definite goal-a goal far beyond the visible horizon of turmoil and confusion. Their objective is one of Victory First which must be followed by freedom from in- harmonious existence among neighbors. FURT TROY BULLE T I Generals ..... Lieutenant Generals Lieutenants ....

This sen- ior class of '44 will be the four- teenth graduating class to leave under t e principalship of Mr. Chestnut. Besides the many duties befitting a principal, he has taught two American History classes, headed student council, been active in the local Rotary organization and the Kansas State Teachers Association, and has acted as sports official in the surrounding community. Mr. Chestnut attended Kansas University and Kansas State Col- lege, and has his A. B. and M. S. degrees. Every student-who ever attended B. H. S. has that never- to-be-forgotten impression left by Us lgiendly advice and help cf .- SUPT. MORRELL . . . General Morrell, in reality our own Superintendent John S. Mor- rell, reigns at the head of the Beloit school system tor the tour- teenth consecutive year. Mr. Morre11's quiet, unobtrusive man- ners have made him familiar to every student, as he has seen class after class receive their diplomas. and go out to make their way in this huge, chaotic world. Mr. Morrell has been a promin- ent citizen ot the community for .years, having been connected with the executive councils of the Port Library, Community Hospital, Rotary Club, and Methodist Church, and has been an nctivc worker with the Red Cross. Supt. Morrell received his 'Bach- elor ol Science degree from Mis- souri University, and later took post graduate work at the Chicago and Kansas Universities. Lieut ,HQ . if Mr. Wlller Hlllu B. S.

Finney, B, lol: Food for America is the ultimate ami of the FFA, ml-'uture Farmers of America, which was designed to supplement opportunities for boys who are progressing toward the goal of establishment in a farming business. There are four degrees of active membership - Green Hand - Future Farmerf' - State Farmer and American Farmer. One advances according to the work done ln connection with the vocational agriculture program. The local, state and national officers are elected annually. he National Emblem is made up ol five symbols: the owl, the plow, the rising sun within the cross section of an ear of corn, which is surmounted by the American eagle. The Beloit chapter of the FFA led by Mr. Howard Bradley, consists of 49 members. There are 39 boys in vocational agriculture and senior boys have had t ree years of this subject. The FFA meets regularly once a month for a night meeting which usually consists of a business session, pro- gram, a recreational period, and refreshments. The net worth of this year's farming program amounted to over S10,000. The social events G! the year included a hafrrack ride, stag turkey fred George Washington party, and the parentls and son banquet. The ocal FFA chapter contributed to the Red Cross, United War Fund, Commun- lty Hospital, and have bought stamps and bonds regularly. , :iq 'gtigg wg HKLW I' OFFICERS Eldon Treaster .-- --- President Bill Wilson ..,. ,.....

The Camp opened September 8 and in three weeks 53559.25 in stamps and bonds had been purchased, almost as much as that sold in 'the entire year of 19412 and 1943. By the end of the Third War Loan drive, n flrand total of 84,824.20 had been reached. February 11 the stamp sales amounted to 81,667,603 the bonds, 554255 a total of S7092.60. During the Fourth War Loan drive, me Trojan Serenaders, under the direction of Bob Severance, and the Camp Pep Band journeyed to Asherville and Scottsville for bond rallies. The first major campaign of the year was the scrap drive, this attack. The objective was divided into seven districts and taken in one afternoon. The result was about 550.

This comedy of youth un- folded in the story of Susan Blake rArlene Mastinl, a career girl always getting into difficulties, and the trouble which beset those two loyal Inuslceteers, Johnny Clover flvlax Fobesl, editor of the High School Penguin and Spud Erwin tBob Severancet, his stooge, when Susan high-pressures herself into the position of assistant editor. Susan's innocent enthu- siasm almost banlcrupted the Penguin and made complications in the romance of the high school principal, Henry Quinn 'Lowell Scogganl, youngest high school principal in the state, and the journalism teacher, Martha Willard fMargie Kenti.

Slmmollml .Inst as thc urxny band at a camp raises the toxic of morale for the soldiers after long hikes, during recreation periods, and even in the midst of battle, our Fort Troy marching band fulfilled the same function for the Trojans. As in all battles, large or small, our side has not always been victoriousg yet the Trojan Band enthusiast- ically played stirring marches at every possible opportnnily-whether our team won or lost. Originality was the keynote of the band's ma- neuvers. A different and often unique program Director. Bonne Tire Drum Munn Pl! -llmnf with appropriate music was presented at the half of each game. The baud performed at various civic functions throughout the year. It alternated with the Camp Phillips Dance Band playing for the dedi- cation of the service board and bond rally. With facility the band turned to the less serious job of playing for the annual Halloween parade. Climaxing the year's musical activities, the band gave a spring concert. h The orchestra, composed of thirty-nine mem- bers and directed by Mr. Eugene Tice, did not get under way until the second six weeks of schoolg the first six weeks being devoted entirely to the marching band. Once rehearsals were started the orchestra had it successful season. The organ- izaliun made its first appearance at the junior play where it played before and between acts. lt also played for the senior play. The highlight of the your was a program pl-0. duced completely hy the orchestra marking the first orchestral concert to be presented by the Beloit high school. At Easter the orchestra joined the ehorugeg in presenting Handel's Messiah, now 1: lf. Jam. Jr., 1.. Brewer. J. Dlrlrlllrorr, c Luurnr, A. lllulin. c. Mlllrr. A. M. Torrey, Row 2: D. 1. Morrell.
