C ass Histor T957--a year that will be fondly remembered by the sevent -fifth graduating class of Beloit High School. Years from now, these alumni will be recalling the fun--and work--of producing a class play, and the never-to-be forgotten feeling of nervous excitement on open- ing night the moment we know the audience likes it---the wonderful class parties--the hopes of winning a prize as a clever float is built--the responsibility of leadership when the goal of being seniors is reached--the rousing class discussions--the cramming for exams--games played our best, win or lose--homecomings--the realization, as each annual event passed so quickl YI that we will not be part of it again. And at last, the solemn occasion of graduation exercises -- h I 0 o 0 0 o t e ast farewell to a way of life we experienced for four years in the now familiar halls of Troy. 1957-fthe year of rock 'n' roll, of more world crisis, of drouth, and, for each senior, a f year o fu fillment.

The sophomore year was marked by selecting as officers Cathy Barber resident- Deanna McKinnie, vice-president, and Robert Tripp, secretary-treasurer. A classlslzating pdrty was en'oed tC cl. B ' I y a ourt an . lt was a year of greater particnlpation--a girl s basketball team was organized, bo s were playing on the varsity teams, ta ented musicians were emer in 9 9' Then, at fast, we were upper-classmen. We produced our first play, Seventeenth Summer. We ordered l ' d ' ' c ass rings, an gave a successful banquet for the seniors using the theme Toyland a fitting climax to a busy year. I I We, as students, have learned--to live in harmony with others--to study and work in order to reach goals--to use our talents to be leaders. We have graduated and already commenced 1 .

There are three Freshman classes, four sophomore classes, three iunior classes and one senior class. Three years of English are required, but for the first time senior English was offered. This is a con- tinuance of grammar and English literature. Besides giving the student more practice in the use of the language, it is a fine background for college work. The class of seven students explored many new and interesting Fields. Social Science is Foundation for Good Citizens Government is a required course, usually taken during the Junior year.

Student Council Has Active Year. . The l6 Student Council members were representatives from each organization, homerooms, and the journalism Staff. The Student Council, with the aid of the sponsors, helped decide certain school policies. These l6 members collaborated with the Pep Club in the general supervision of queen elections, home- coming dances, and programs. The organization sponsored lyceum programs, sold pencils, pennants, and bought a new soft drink vend ing machine for the students. The Boy and Girl of the Month calendar which was first used this year by the Council proved to be very popular. The boy and girl candidates were chosen by their classmates for their qualities of leadership. ln order to improve our school, several members of the Student Council attended a conference at Con- cordia, September 24.

Initiates Popular Calendar of the Month. The Calendar of the Month, sponsored by the Student Council, was begun last December. The purpose of this proiect was to recognize students who served their school well. Each month three boys and three girls were selected by various groups as candidates, with the student body then voting. Pictures of each month's can- didates were placed on a special calendar on the bulletin board. The groups selecting candidates for the respective months December through May were: Pep Club and football squad, Y-Teens and Hi-Y, freshman and sophomore classes, Home Economics and FFAQ B 8.

Kadel As we heard the stage manager's voice say, Places, on the opening night of our play, many thoughts ran through our minds. Those jittery moments before tryouts, our first hilarious reading of the play, the long, some- times tedious rehearsals, the feeling of readi- ness and anxiousness after the lines were finally learned--these weresa few of the thoughts. We discovered that plays are fun but also a lot of hard work for the director, the cast, and for all others participating in the pro- duction. There are committees appointed to have charge of the props, programs, prompters, lights and the other factors necessary for a V successful play. After a sleepless night the curtain opened on a vast, new experience--one we shall cherish the rest of our lives. And when we heard our stage manager say, Curtain, for the last curtain call, mixed feelings of relief and regret went through us for he had brought the curtain shut on one of the happiest exper- iences of our lives. ----Jim Beu Above is a scene from Dear Ruth.

Seniors Produce Sophisticated Comedy A senior play was to be presented in three short weeks. How can l ever learn my lines? Can we ever have it ready? l'm afraid! Asking questions and making exclamations such as these, ten diligent seniors began the first sketchy reading of Dear Ruth. As they rehearsed and worried, hosts of others were about building the set, finding props, and selecting costumes. Those weeks of preparation seemed to go by in a flash. Then it was opening night. As we stood blocked from the view of the audience by the stately maroon, velvet curtain, which had witnessed many such occasions, we began to feel a little shakey, for we knew that this was to be one of our biggest responsibilities in our senior year. The first night came and went, and then the second. As the curtain closed on that last per- formance we knew that we had shared an exper- ience which we would always cherish and remem- ber. ---Preston Bassford Dora ..... . . K.

One of the major achievements for speech stu- y dents in the two speech classes was the presentation of a program of one-act plays the evening of April 30. Each student was cast in one play in addition to being in his own backstage crew. Each play was also student directed. Mrs. Doyen, the instructor, directed the contest play, The Valiant, which was presented at the NCKL Drama Festivalp the district contest, wheres it received a highly superior rating, eligible for state competition, at Hays where it merited a superior rating.
