They restricted these dances to students and their invited guests instead of the previous plan of admitting all students and alumni. The council also collaborated with the Pep club in the general supervision of queen elections and programs. With its thirty members the council has rounded out a busy year. Each class, home room and organization in the school elected a representative for the council. These students, with the aid of the sponsors, help de- cide parts of the school policy. By Helen Young The organization sponsored lyceum programs, sold PGHCIIS, and. cushions, and awarded scholarship letters and pins this year. Several members of the council attended a confer- ence at Concordia, October 11. On February 6, the council was in charge of an all-school party. Officers this year 'were Don Widrig, president, Keith Shambvurg, vice-presidentg Joyce Jones, secretaryg and Barbara Kethcart, treasurer. Phyllis Struble, Robert HZTTISOII, J- B0yd Finney, and Prin.

S. pep club, had its second year of bad luck in carrying out plans for the 1951-1952 football homecoming. This year bad weather prevailed, preventing the pep club and band from marching. The queen was formally presented but the rest of the cere- mony was eliminated. In 1951 the game with Belleville was cancelled. The pep club helped carry out basketball homecoming ceremonies. The pep club formed two lines through which the queen and her attendants and their escorts came through. 'The club sponsored the homecoming dance. by Phyllis Bartlesvn Through the school year the pep cluib cheered their teams to victories under the leadership of Phyllis Bartle- son, head cheerleaderg Donna Humfeld, Verlee Watson, Dorinda Mears, and Mary Lou Holloway.

The chorus provided entertainment for the school and public, as well as a lot of fun and vocal training for the members. The first big event of the year was the choral clinic at Concordia November 19, where the chorus sang with five other schools under the direction of Professor A. D. Schmutz, vocal director at Emporia State Teach- ers College. The chorus spent another day away from home at the district contest held in Concordia, April 14. The mixed chorus, girls' glee club, freshman ensemble, octet. and madrigal singers all received ratings of I which entitled them to go to Hays to the state festival. At Hays the groups were rated as follows: octet I, By Ronnie Moore . freshman ensemble 1, and nladrlgal singers II. At the Messiah, April 9, the chorus was accompanied by the orchestra. The spring concert held May 9 closed the year's activities. The girls' glee club appeared in the spring concert as well as the district contest in Concordia. The madrigal group sang at the athletic banquet, spring concert, and district contest. Girls' double sextet sang at the Christian Church, H. D. U. banquet, Concordia contest, and Hays contest. The octet sang at the contest at Concordia and Hays. Miss Gaston said the group did a great deal of diffi- cult work and she felt that the program during the year was good.

Laurie Huntington, a college sophomore majoring in psychology, returns home for the summer vacation. Soon after arriving sh tries to use her psychology on her younger brother, Wally. Wally is infatuated with his father's chief competitor's daughter, Joan Wood. Joan and Wally arrange a blind date for Laurie with Joan's cousin, Mark Bradford.

As a result Mr. Wood and Mr. Huntington go into business together to the satisfaction of everyone. By Janet Boetlcher usl-:icldingn Was Fun Editor's Note-Janet was asked to write this article from the viewpoint of the insider in order that the reader could see a play from behind the scenes. The Trojan is grateful to its guest writer for preparing this descriptionj Acting has always looked like so much fun. I have always wanted to try it. When our senior class recently presented a three-act comedy, Skidding, by Aurania Kauverol, I was delighted to be given a part. At first opening night seemed months away, but four weeks of rehearsal soon vanished! During re- hearsals other members of our class gathered the props, searched for period furniture, and built the stage setting. Mrs. Clyde Lampert, our assistant di- rector, was in charge of the properties group. Skidding is an entertaining story with delightful characters. The story centers about the Hardy family, who lives in a certain town in Idaho. Judge Hardy Uack Abercrombiej, the main-stay of the family, hopes to be re-nominated to run for the district court of Idaho. His wife, Emily Uustine Wickhamj, is a good wife and mother, but she has a very difficult time understanding politics. Marion Hardy Qyours truly, has spent six years studying political science, and when she makes a speech to help her father and is asked to run for the state legislature herself, she and her fiance, Wayne Trenton III fDon Weaverj, have an argument and break their engagement. Mother leaves home when her two married daughters, Myra and Estelle fConnie Knarr and Pat Chancej, leave their husbands and come home because they are not happy. Aunt Milly lBeverly Churchillj, faces life as an old maid, but decides fate will not plan her life. Andy lGeorge Betzj provides some of the plentiful humor in the play. Wilbur Kent played and looked the part of Grandma, who brings a bit of philosophy to Marion. Don Widrig portrayed Mr. Stubbins, the Judge's campaign manager. The Judge is nominated to the Supreme Court when the party machinery collapses. Mother comes home after Myra and 'Estelle find that home has changed for them since they have been married. Marion and Wayne find that only together can they work out their problems. The four weeks of rehearsal saw the play develop from awkward movements and unrehearsed lines to a more polished performance. We of the cast, with the patience and very capable guidance of Director Alma Morrison, had made our play what it was. Opening night! No one completely calm! What will haopen on stage? VVill everyone remember his lines? Will I trip and fall? The curtain went up! No one forgot his linesg no one fellg the play was on!-The play was over. Presenting our play was a lot of fun. We were sorry when it was over. I, for one, will never forget it. 43 Basketball Queen Football Queen Betty Thiessen was elected by the student body to reign as the 1951-52 football queen.

They tied for second place in the league with Marysville with a 6-win and 4-loss record. The Trojans lost to the club from Lyons 48-47. That game decided who went to the Class-A state tournament. Five seniors, Bill Bergen, Gerald James, Don Widriz. J. Clark, and Harrell Guard, ended their high school cage careers this year. Although, the Tro'ans had a mid-season slump they came back strong at tournament time to win the sub- regional trophy and to capture the second place trophy in the regional tournament.

Black is the first F. F. A. member from Beloit to win this honor. Dewayne started out as a freshman in high school with 15 acres of land which his father loaned him. Today he is worth over S21,000, including 56,000 in cattle, 80 acres of land, machinery, a car, and other equipment. He owns at the present time 80 acres of ground, bu-5 farms in addition 40 rented acres for a total of 120 acres. Dewayne lives at home and assists! his father on his father's land also. Dewayne has not expanded as rapidly as he would have in peace time because of the possibility of being drafted into the service. Should it appear that he would not be drafted he will expand in cattle and continue to do diversified farming. Recent accomplishments include the purchase of a new Oldsmobile, conversion of an abandoned barn to an implement shed, and completion of a watershed in one wheat field. Black's wheat yield last year was more than ftwice the county average per acre. He credits extensive soil treatment for the result and believe that his land is much be-tter than when he first began to farm it. The pictures show some of Dewayne's accomplish- ments: 1. Dewayne surveys newly seeded waterway. 2. A combine is an expensive piece of equipment. 3. Contented cows indicate proper care. 4. A new car is a necessity for the modern farmer. Mechanical Drawing A practical course is offered to boys who enroll for Instructor Ed Miller's course in mechanical drawing. Shown in the pictures at the right and below are 'three steps in blueprinting arranged in clockwise order. First, Gerald James and Richard Bliss complete detailed drawings of the project to be blueprinted. Below right, a tracing of the drawing covers the blue- print paper which is being exposed to the sun by Jack Conn as Alvin Maynard times the exposure. As a final step Jack develops the paper in the picture below. Woodworking Both boys and girls are offered courses in wood- working' at Beloit high school. A major course in the industrial arts department, three years of work is offered by Ed Miller. At the left fleft to rightj, Myron Hackett, Jack Linder, and Roy Strawn adjust clamps on a just-glued project while Mary Gaskill hopes for the best. 'sv 'Hi W Home Economics One of the highlights in the year's work in the home economics department comes when the foods class selves a breakfast and luncheon to invited guests during the noon hour. This occasion is one where the guest is invited to criticize the hostess in a special form where comments can be made on the preparation of the food, the suitability of the decorations, food, and accessories, and on the courtesy shown by the hostess. The form is analyzed by Instructor Helen Gilmore, who grades each girl accordingly. Above right, Mary Hollaway removes a dish from the oven fit is either cold or Mary, without a hotpad, is getting burnedj as Janet Jones and Dee Ann Daniels care for other preparations. At the left the food meets the final test as a meal is served to student and faculty friends. Physical Education When spring arrives and the weather becomes warm enough that the students can survive without furs, the girls' physical education class moves out of doors to engage in spring sports activities. Each student is required by the state to complete two years of physical education for graduation credit and tennis is one of the'more pleasant activities of the program. Below is a sophomore foursome in a game of doubles on the Beloit high school court north of the building. At the left Sandra Morissette is caught off the ground but not off guard as she slams a hard return to her opponent. The girls' physical education program is conducted by Phyllis Struble. 57 English One of the most important of the skills taught in the English department is the abili-ty to make 0ne's self understood in oral communication. In an attempt to develop this skill in B. H. S. students, the speech class under the direction of Alma Morrison studies all phases of oral communication. At the right Jack Abercrombie steals a quick glance at his notes as the rest of the class listen in an effort to pick out Jack's weak points. A minor in speech and journalism may be obtained by a studcnt who enrolls in both of these courses in addition to the required major in English. Commerce Irene Tinkler, at the right, supervises Connie Knarr who combines practice with the dictaphone and electric typewriter, two machines which were made available to the commerce classes for the first time this year. Beloit high school offers courses in shorthand and bookkeeping fClara Bollman, instructorj as Well as in typing. A major may be earned in the commerce department.

Facing the camera, left to right. are Jack Henderson, David McDonald. and Justine Wickhamg in the fore- ground Max Miller and Barbara Motes try to find similarities between the text description and the actual leaf. The biology classes are instructed by Phyllis Struble. Mathematics Deanna Brooks, Dee Ann Alphin, Barbara Kethcart, and Janice Cheatham lleft to rightj ponder a problem at the board in Robert Harrison's algebra class. The studv, as nearly all B. H. S. students know, requires considerable homework as well as board-work and other exercises and explanations in class time. The course is required for those students who wish to earn either a maior' or minor in mathematics. It is an essential study for students who intend to go on to college. A...fR ,V Physics One of the most shocking pieces of apparatus in fthe physics laboratory is examined by Harrell Guard, Harvey Donahoo, Richard Bliss, and Bob Snyder fleft to rightb. The device is used to produce static elec- tricity and is capable of emitting huge sparks and definite jolts to the unwary. Instructor J. Boyd Finney teaches the physics classes for those students who are majoring in science or who need a laboratory coure for graduation. Termed a practical course by those who have taken it, the class answers a lot of whys for students interested in the world about them. - ' - ' Bliss.

While this Trojan may not receive a like award, it is the sincere hope of the staff that the students have found these pages an accurate portrayal of the places, personalities, and pleasant associations of the 1951-1952 school year-the year in which they were responsible for the traditions of Troy. The journalism staff would like to express its appre- ciation to the faculty and advisers, Beloit Gazette, Beloit Daily Call and Wichers Studio for their aid and cooperation. This year eleven journalism students published six- teen issues of the B. H. S. Life in addition to the 1952 Trojan. Advertising was carried in the Life for the first time in a number of years, By Mary Gaskill Receiving. letter award for outstanding performance were Connie Maag, Robert Householter, and Don VVeaver.
