The man in charge of production in Beloit high school is Superintendent John S. Morrell, 'who has occupied the executive chair at the head of the Beloit school system for the fifteenth consecutive year. He started by teaching in a rural school; and eventually he attained the position which he now holds after teaching normal training and agriculture for three years and acting as principal for four. Mr. Morrell has been a prominent member of the community for several years, and has taken his share of the responsibility for the welfare of several civic organizations. At the present time he is busily engaged in making plans for the post war Beloit. Mr. Morrell received his A.B. degree from Missouri University, and later took post graduate work at Chicago and Kansas Universities. Executive advisor to Mr. Morrell is Principal “E. M.” Chestnut, who is now completing his fifteenth year in that capacity. Mr. Chestnut has spent a great deal of time and effort in compiling periodical news letters which are sent to all former Beloit high school students who are now in the armed forces. The popularity of these letters has been proved many times by the fact that the first thing returning servicemen plan to do upon arrival in Beloit is to go to the high school and visit “E. M.” Mr. Chestnut is a familiar figure to every student, not only because he is principal but also because he is willing at any time to assist one of his pupils. He received his A. B. and M. A. degrees after work at Kansas State College and Kansas University. 6

STARS The final re-take of the Trojan four year scenario has at last satisfied the directors, and the finished film is ready for public acclaim. The stars, under the able direction of Mr. Chestnut, each in his separate sphere, have distinguished themselves for the glory of the Trojan studio. Eldon Treaster, president, prompted the stars through their fourth and last year. Seventy-six starlets began the struggle for success in '41, but by elimination of one kind or another, approximately fifty stars have reached their goal—graduation. The two spotlight dramatic productions of the junior and senior years, helped prepare some of the stars for their future successes. Various extra curricular activities in which the stars were represented include orchestra, band, athletics, chorus, G.R., Hi-Y, F.F.A., and pep club. The assistant directors for this year’s stars— Miss Tinkler, Miss Ost, Miss Morrison, and Mr. Bradley—helped to raise the shining stars to the place they now hold in screenland.
