Victors over tlie forces that would deny us our free way of life, America stands ready to join hands with other nations of the earth to insure the peace which is so essential to the prosperity and happiness of a world community. Let us 'go forward with open hearts and minds that we may learn the creed of the unselfish—for that is the spirit of the peaceful. With the hope in our hearts that this spirit shall prevail among nations — we dedicate the ‘1946 Trojan” to the progress and security of future peace.

Now they have crossed that part of their journey and are gazing up the tracks that will take them to their places in the world. As they stand contemplating what tomorrow holds in store, the 1!)4G model of the B. II. S. Express appears on the horizon and rushes swiftly down the tracks coming slowly to a halt in front of the Beloit high school station. Agents Chestnut and Morrell are there selling tickets to those students just embarking on their round trip through school. After the graduating class steps off. the juniors take over the controls. Members of the sophomore class are acting as firemen; while tin freshmen assist as porters— the first step on the long journey toward assuming control of the engine. Conductors on this trip are the faculty who aid the passengers as much as possible. The journalism class acts in the capacity of publicity department for the line. Members of the Hi-Y and Girl Reserve clubs are located in the personnel department. Hard at work are the yardmen, usually known as the F. F. A. This trip entails several wonderful scenic views such as the junior and senior class plays and the music activities. The students do not realize it until they near the depot, but in their midst are two distinguished passengers, the first citizens. Other personalities familiar to all the passengers are the queens of the B. H. S. express lines. Members of the athletic squads do such necessary work as is found for the section crews. Not until the train lias stopped do the passengers fully realize what a worthwhile and truly wonderful trip it has been—what part it has played in developing and enriching their lives. 2 Os CO '°Q ■Good Only r� Coaahe? 1% a 3?jf C it j o- BtLS CXFRE . of SC thjflEXE to ?

Almatina ---------------------Jane Underkofler Olita------------------------------------ Helen Broberg Filmer---------------------------Edward Specht Ham Ellers ----------------------Jimmie Adams Mr. Little--------------------------Noel Vetter The Littles are a family with problems and opinions of their own. When Mr. Little calls his daughter’s friends “young hoodlums,” the fireworks really begin. Goody tries to please him by dating Norman Peel, who proves to be rather a bore—but not so to Henriette, Goody’s charming roommate from the South. Mr. Little is finally convinced that Ham Ellers is a regular guy and that the younger generation are good sports after all.

A comedv in three acts written by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, the play was pit sented on April 30 and May 1 under the direction o Miss Alma Morrison. The Cassell home, typical of most homes during t:. war, was reconverted to make an apartment to be rentec. It was occupied by Nina Cassell’s old friend, Major Todd ind his son, Newton. Nina understood her two girls, Tony and Scootie, but Major Todd could not understand Newton, mostly because of his desire to breed earthworms. Tony, her best girl friend, Pinkie Ames, and Genevieve Jones, the neighborhood nuisance, had date problems in connection with the Red Cross Benefit. The boys involved besides Newton were Dunk Doyle, King of the High School Wolf Pack, and Bing Hotchkiss, who had to get out of taking his sister, Eula. Eula, formerly called Hippo, did not fit her old nickname any longer. Spring Green was the name of her favorite but expensive perfume. A romance between Nina and Major Todd traveled a rough road as Nina could not agree with his trying to get Newton to give up his worms. But Dr. Blodgett brought good news of Newton's experiments which made things all right. By agreement among the boys, their date problems were also solved. 27 WoncUrHand Off we go into the Land of Music, provided by the Beloit high school music department, under the direction of Mr. Eugene Tice.
