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
