Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1976 volume:

BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL 1919-1976 „ , „ Vol. No. 74 Beloit, Kansas What can you say about a yearbook that covers an entire school year and the end of an era for the building which has housed students for 55 years? First, the staff planned and organized to come up with a memorable experience for everyone. We strived to find a cover design that would capture the feelings of our readers. This page serves as an introduction to the opening pages which are devoted to a compact history of the past. We randomly chose pictures and wrote copy that would tell this building's story. Special features this year include the seasonal division pages, the State pages, the Honor pages and an index. As you reflect on the 1975-76 school year, the staff hopes that you will be reminded of memories and happenings which made this year a very successful one. BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL It seems only fitting after 55 years of public education that we devote a few pages in the 1975-76 yearbook to giving it a brief history of those years. At seven o'clock on Saturday morning, September 21, 1918, the old high school burned. Defective wiring was the stated cause of the totally destroyed building. Classes were held in churches and other public buildings until April 16, 1921, when students and faculty moved into the Beloit High School on 5th and Mill. Originally, the Beloit Junior High was consolidated with the high school, until 1956, when they moved into the old Field Grade School. In 1967 they moved into the basement of the Municipal building until the completion of the new Junior-Senior High School. The School Board has authorized many improvements to our school system. In 1938, rights were given to the Works Progress Administration to build the Trojan Stadium. State officials also drew up plans for an addition to the west side of the school. Originally, it was used as a shop area but in its last days, it was used for the band and chorus rooms. Also, in the summer of 1944 the library and home ec rooms were remodeled, meeting the needs of the students. As 67 members of the 1976 graduating class received diplomas, a total of 3,576 will have graduated from Beloit High School. This High School on 5th and Mill will be remembered long after the building is gone. These memories of the past are left as a tribute to the many years of service our High School gave to us. 2 Mr. E. M. Chestnut came to Beloit In 1930 to become the High School principal. In 1958, he assumed the job as superintendent and remained in that position until 1964 when he retired. Ten years later he died on April 17, 1974. While principal, he established the annual Beloit Relays and was well known as a referee of high school athletic events in North Central Kansas. Mr. Chestnut has made many outstanding contributions to interschool activities and was honored by being inducted into the Kansas High School Activities Association Hall of Fame on March 20, 1976. For his many services, he will long be remembered throughout the community for years to come. BELOIT HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS 1917-1976 A. R. Loop 1917-1920 F. L. Owen 1920-1922 G. W.

BHS didn't face much of a parking problem in 1944. Formal dresses were a part of orchestra concerts in 1961 In 1924, Student Council was organized by interested high school students. When Y-Teens was first organized in 1921, it was called the Girls' Reserves. Both groups were branches of the YWCA, Hi-Y saw its beginning at BHS two years prior, in 1919. Journalism became a scheduled class in 1924. Before this time, press club meetings were held before school hours. Mort's Merrymakers was the original name given to the Pep Club in 1929, after football coach Mort White. Back in 1938, the boys helped out the girls in promoting spirit by forming their own Pep Club. In order to promote friendliness, Beloit and Concordia held a mass concert at the Beloit Municipal Auditorium in 1948. Linda McGaughey and J. C. Fuller at the 1962 Homecoming Dance.

This shadow of authority was Mr. Earl Guiot. A man who we no longer think of as a shadow but as the principal of our high school. Mr. Guiot graduated from McPherson College where he coached and taught. After six years he moved to Haven where he coached several sports until 1967. Then for three years Guiot sold insurance and learned much about young people while he and his wife were house parents for the Twin Oakes Boys Home in Hutchinson. In 1970, he went to Buhler where he taught and coached until he became assistant principal there. In the fall of 1975 he came to Beloit. Changes he instigated included dropping the sliding period for a fixed schedule, dropping the activity hour, and leaving the closed lunch hour. When asked what changes he would like to see at BHS, Guiot replied, I would like to see every student in attendance because they wanted to be here. I would like for students to develop the level of maturity which would bring them to realize that they must meet certain standards if they expect to be successful. I would like for students to recognize that just because you didn't get caught doesn't make it right. On Feb. 13, 1976 Guiot announced his resignation as Principal of Beloit High School. He will assume the position of Buhler High School Principal. Guiot did a lot for BHS and he will be missed. Guiot enjoys the Booster sponsored barbecue.

In addition to these projects, they organized a Community Appreciation Day to honor the State Football Champs. Mr. Clayton Williams gave a talk, tables were set up with trophies and pictures on them and refreshments were served.

The season started off slippery, with the first scheduled match against Concordia being cancelled because of rain. However, Sept, the 9th was as dreary as the 4th as the netters were defeated 12-3, by Ellsworth. The Jr. Varsity then travelled to Lincoln to defeat their Varsity squad 6-3. This being Lincoln's first year, BHS took only the B-team squad. The following Tuesday the netters fell to a superior Concordia squad. Turning right around the girls made a good showing Sept. 25 in a quadrangular consisting of Concordia, Abilene, Westmoreland, and Beloit. On. Oct. 2 the netters participated in another quadrangular at Ellsworth. Teams participating were Ellsworth, Sterling, St. John, and Beloit. Although the girls had a good day they were simply outclassed. On Oct. 9 the girls hosted Plain-ville. It was a close match all the way but Plainville came out victorious winning 8 of the 15 matches. Coming off their loss to Plainville, the netters defeated Salina South here Oct. 16. Beloit won 9 of the 15 matches. On a cold, windy Friday, Oct. 24, 4 members of the team competed at the regional tourney at Hays. Those playing were Michelle Guipre, Connie Olmsted, Marlene Heidrick, and Melissa Arnold. Connie and Michelle were doubles partners as were Melissa and Marlene. Both teams won their first matches but were defeated in the second round. To finalize the season the players had a party on Tuesday Oct. 21. They arrived at Mrs. Wirth's house around 5:00. They were served taco plates, homemade ice cream, and cake. Afterward they played games until 8:00, when they left. Summarizing the season, Mrs. Wirth commented We've had a young tennis team this year with 2 seniors, 3 juniors, 1 sophomore, and 4 freshmen. Experience wise we were also young. I did not see as much improvement as I would have liked to this year in our top 5 players. They improved more in strategy and positioning than they did in fundamentals. Our five young players began very slowly in developing good fundamentals but by the end of the season they had developed into good tennis players considering their experience level.

Under the direction of a new coach and with the largest squad in recent years, the Trojans were faced with a tough season, but faired well in the competition. After a slow start at Osborne the Trojans of Coach Bob Harrison moved up to seventh place at Minneapolis then on to fifth place at the Belleville Invitational. After slipping down to 8th place at Lincoln the long distance runners moved up to Fourth place at home at the Beloit Invitational. On November 25, the NK L meet was staged at Lincoln and the Trojans placed sixth. Beloit attended the regionals, but didn't field a full team. This year's lettermen were Jerry Adams and Mike Heidrick.

President Becky Berndt called the meetings to order with Vice President Loma Case helping. Mark McDonald, Secretary-Treasurer kept accurate records of discussions and Stu-Co's money. Meetings were held during hours one through six on an alternating basis. The first money making project was a Pop Bottle Drive in October. Stu-Co members went to houses and collected pop bottles which were redeemed for money. Following this event closely was a tour of the new school building with Jim Hunt, the head architect acting as guide. At Christmas time Stu-Co sponsored the Christmas Assembly with Santa, the BHS Singers, and Father Stier as speaker. By planning ahead on Winter Sports Homecoming, Stu-Co avoided last minute problems. Last of the year projects included the Legs Contest for Muscular Dystrophy with the Juniors winning, Spring Sports Homecoming plans, revising the constitution, reestablishing of the National Honors Society and election of next years officers.

Students spent class sessions investigating interview techniques, different styles of writing, (including news, features, editorials, sports) how to create headlines and how to layout pages. After the basics were explained, the staff members began working on material for publication. For each issue, story assignments were made, stories written, edited and taken to the Solomon Valley Post to be set. The copy was returned in galley form. Page layout was then completed by students. Several students contributed by shooting, developing and printing pictures. The first two issues were printed by ABD Printers, the next three by the Ellsworth Reporter. Rising costs prevented additional issues. Editors included Tim Chapman, Mike Earle, Jim Hewitt and Amy Ridgeway. Advising the group was Mrs. Candee Jacobs.

A cheerleader is a girl who is interested enough in athletics to spend a good deal of her time after school and on weekends planning pep rallies, cheers and finding ideas to pep up the boys for the weeks' events. All this begins in the summer prior to the school year. The squads get together to practice before leaving for a week of hard work at camp. Also during the summer the girls worked to earn money to buy new outfits and supplies. During the year, they led the crowds all the way from the State Football Playoffs to Grand State Wrestling.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty lets you slip into some of Mitty's daydreams as an Air Commander, surgeon, and super spy. 'Don't count your boobies until they are hatched,' was the moral for The Unicorn in the Garden. A man tells his wife that there's a unicorn in their garden, and when she thinks he's crazy and calls the psychiatrist, they think she's crazy and haul her away. 'Little Red Riding Hood' is the basis for The Little Girl and the Wolf, where a 'sexy' little girl out foxes the wolf and shoots him at Grandma's house. It's not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be, the wolf said just before he died. The Last Flower had a serious note to it. Presented with narration and slides, it showed man's indifference to man as he destroyed the world totally but for one single flower. As a man and woman cared for the flower, the world grew back, only to be destroyed again, except for one man, one woman, and one flower. The Wolf at the Door dealt with a family of sheep who lose their daughter to a wolf because the mother thought he was a Fuller Brush man.

The tip-inM opening pages were of the past history of the building. The staffers also voted to have a special bi-centennial section added to the book. The deadlines were much earlier this year and everyone worked hard to meet them. As Tami and Kelli, co-editors explained, Oar classes seemed to be more organized than last year and they worked well together. There was so much to accomplish and we feel we worked hard to do it. This year was different for us because we spent time checking pages and making suggestions for improvements. Each staff member had specific page assignments but when time was short, everyone chipped in to com plete the work regardless of the section. Besides their own pages to finish, some students helped take, develop and print pictures.

The Editors. THE FIRST 200 YEARS A knowledge of American history is an invitation to experience the accomplishment, drama, tragedy and hope of an infant nation struggling to grow up. Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industrialists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn't finished. You'll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history. Everything that is right or reasonable pleads for separation. The blood of the slain, the weeping voice of na-ture cries,‘tis time to part — 1 homos Paine. CHAPTERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY The Stamp Act of 1765 was an attempt by England to tax items that were wholly American. The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations. The first blood of the American Revolution was spilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United Slates found itself m a naval war over chipping lanes Fort McHenry was heriocaily held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trams loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West. The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built settlements and drove back the Indians The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication Agriculture was the wealth of the country. Amernan inventions of the time were often related to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers In 1848, James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coloma. California The lust to get rich quick ' was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever While gold rush fever gripped the country, states were increasingly more divided on the slavery issue Civil war broke out m the East. This Brothers War ' was bitterly fought and. though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished. Cities grew at an alarming pace; often without regard to the limits of safety. The great Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition But the pioneer spirit was not broken Chicagoans began rebuilding and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country The Iron Horse. carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country. The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit. Utah, on May 10. 18o9. American way of life The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys, automobiles. farm mac Winery, and bicycles, all the rage Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism. A World War called upon the nation s voung men to unite and fight After the war in Europe, the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again A carefree America buried war memories in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators stock market ticker tape machines, phonographs and a wealth of inventions from the fertile minds of its young inventors. Baseball became the national sport and prohibition was law Black Thursday. October 24. 1929, saw the Amerw an stock market crash to the lowest level in history. Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed The country was in its worst economic crisis Slowly, hut surely, the wounds of the rash, the dust bowl. ' and poverty healed. 2695r RATION STAMP NO. 47 The steel industry geared up for the revival while rumors were whispered in the Roosevelt administration of another impending war The nation s leaders scoffed, until December 7 1941 Pearl Harbor1 Industrial production reached a peak during the war years. Upon their return from four years of battle, the veterans forged ahead with an eye on a better life for everyone. Several moderate recessions in the 50’s and 60s reminded cautious citizens of past decades I - a. I m Huge strides were being taken in the scientific field. Television became a part of every family « life. National events were household topics while they happened — thanks to the new medium Individuals and groups were seen .� n the tube as they advocated new social reform, or justice, or special causes of their own. TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before Audio-visual journalism had made its impact. Nearly 100 years of strgglmg for civil liberties were realized when President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law The Ac! outlawed segregation in any form it The seventies shed light on a new trouble for the nation as it approached its 200th birthday The world's energy sources and natural resources were being used up faster than they could be replenished Americans once again waded into a new frontier The energy crisis and ecology were prominent words in the language. Ways to save nature from the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of natut -were the objectives of Americans across the country Earth s crises spurred Americans into further pioneering. This time outer space American astronauts were the first on the surface of the moon and the U S. was first to build a sky-lab for more scientific study American is still learning and growing after a mere 200-year infancy. The original determination of our forefathers was told again in the words of Neil Armstrong as he made the first step on the moon a small step for man. but a giant step for mankind - ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY OfflK FOR HAU ONE MILLION ACRES OF SUPERIOR FARMING LAND8, IN FAtlMS OK 40,80 A. 160 acres and upwards at from 98 to $12 per acre TIC MRS I,ANI� M A Hr.

With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and development of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in numbers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas. America became a haven for immigrants from every nation as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again' in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.

DRILL PWSS Without realizing it, England instilled in the colonists the individual purpose and ingenuity that necessity breeds. With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviving without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolutionary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper's 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation's most valuable citizen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far corners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phonograph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800's and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass-produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to fulfill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of discovery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of finding a way is ingrained in its people. The seeds of industrial America were sown by these inventors resulting in today's mechanized society.

Mudietmed by PtRRT DAVIS Si SOW Imagine buying that acre of land you have spotted for $1.25! Or. even at the higher price of $10. Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage settlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn't the most comfortable way to go. but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour Compare today s wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800's. A man earned 50c a day Of course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 182© was about 5C lb in the Midwest, eggs. 3c doz . corn 6C bu.. wheat. 25c bu.. and a cow could be bought for $5 With travel becoming the American tradition. you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile. And when you reached your destination. you could sit down to a 5. or even 10 course meal for 25C (Ladies 20c, in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800's could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1,500 A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists (blouses) were marketed for 49c to $3.50 with a whole dress pattern priced at 15c. Cookstoves. quality-satisfaction guaranteed. could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7.85. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroller) for the sum of $12.04. If you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles Ah. those were the days. Some of the current prices are reminiscent of those days, but at frontier prices, which were a whole different story Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too. And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper Those items were only 15c per pound back in civilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and during the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel ADAMS' PATENT ■WRt.l Itcnm iViudlnM Rftl riiHE itio | irt put la E ml t‘ r ««. im) by mm • ik b« tiled !!■ • ), ihi SMA'ki u k«| t craw M ak y xo ob'� f ib« f re il • any Pvnt cu'W4 ll.i Mai ( oili il H i) 8 ION bPKIKO 8£%T ROCKI V •!• ■, Trtr i� rcM a ad India Hltwb tacitly uf oinivrkii tad vial' Iia . ta teutiy n baud an I «ltat� i|� ii u rkf( t J tHk aaalj paub, by • |i� M det.va m Ward ‘J li iNClK'K A Co. 9 W ferae of I b« d i d Walbot e'rerl .
