Helen Pelton was chosen to lead the group and this she did well. The boys and girls were welcomed by the Rotary and Civic Club respectively. The next year we were led by Jim Widrig. Highlights of this year were the sophomore assembly and a class picnic. Bill Brown started us on a most successful year in 1946. The production of “Out of the Frying Pan” brought us up with the best of them. An exciting event began when we stepped through the bright red heart and were greeted by the seniors at the reception entitled “Valentines”. Adventure came to us all in the land of “Shangri La” with the seniors as our guests. That year school was dismissed in order that we might journey to Topeka to “see” our boys take second in the state tourney; for they were our boys, six of the tournament ten being from our class. And now the time has come for us to draw the program to a climax. Jim Gurley has the baton with Virginia Blauvelt, Vice Pres., Bob Newell, Sec., and Phyllis Walter, Treas.: behind them all in various part is the entire group. Highlights of the year were the senior-junior reception, the junior-senior banquet, and the looked-forward-to sneak. The performance is over and the cast is sorry to leave the City of Troy. We hope you have enjoyed the parade. lit is 17 QomCo i CLASS OF 1949 The juniors of 1947 headed by Vernon McKee have the distinction of being one of the most progressive classes that Beloit has had, in almost every club and organization a junior is to be found near the head. The outstanding event in the junior happenings this year was the junior play “Young April”. The members of the cast gave an impressive performance and received much praise. The juniors also excelled in athletics and music. With the abundance of talent that this class has. great things will be expected from them in the future.
