H, H s Vfrfr .nW..ff W..i1 FOREWORD For eighty-seven years the building at 220 West Grand Avenue in the city of Beloit has sheltered, educated, and recreated generations of students who have wandered through its doors. In 1908, the old building fwhose cornerstone was laid in 1863j had its face lifted, and was remodeled as the BHS we have known. But even now the work of building is not complete. A new and modern edifice to house new generations of future Beloiters is being erected at the corner of Fourth and Middle Streets. From the hallowed pages of the past, we, the Class of 1950, have depicted this last issue of the BELOITER to be published at the West Grand address, as a Memory Album. The administration and faculty have been represented as the Plans we have followed through our high school days. The seniors are pictured as Memories, holding fast to remembrances and acquaintances formed through their high school days. The juniors are seen as Hopes, breathlessly awaiting the day when they too, will graduate. For the sopho- mores, the day of graduation is still in the land of Dreams, but their time will come at some future date. From little red schoolhouses down to ultra-modern structures of today, School Days has been a recurring theme. This, coupled with our other endeared Memories when we were a couple of kids has been left behind, and the Class of 1950 is setting out to continue to grow in adult society, and take its rightful place in society.

DEDICATION XVe dedicate this issue of the BELOITER to Mr. F. N. Johnston our present Superintendent of Schools and our High School Princi- pal Emeritus. Though not the last Principal in our venerable building QGod rest its creaking joistsj, he was the last to serve a full term as Grand Master of these Hallowed Halls. In the campaign for ap- proval of the New Memorial High School, in the plans and ground- work for the realization of a new and modern Hall of Learning, his guidance was ever present. It is for reasons such as these, and because of his sincere interest in the youth of Beloit, that we, the CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY, respectfully dedicate this, the last BELOUER to be pro- duced wholly at 220 West Grand in the City of Beloit.
