Memories X SIINIOR CLASS OFFICERS Grin' Kuufxon, I'r'i'x.: Hull-1' Surlznuls, Si'1 y-T1'w1N.g D011 Mc'Clr'I1au, Vim'-1'rr.i. SENIOR CLASS AIJVISORS Mr. IVW, Mr. Pink, Miss RflL'IlOl1l' Mrs. Tesla: , We, the class of 1950, have every reason to be proud of the record weive left. Entering Beloit High School in 1947, we were a class of 400 excited and enthusiastic sophomores. Everything was different and fascinating. There were Proms, Clubs, pep-sessions, assemblies, a weekly newspaper, elec- tions, Military Ball-and, an annex! Even studies and examinations took on a new meaning as we real- ized we were preparing ourselves to take our places in a new and changing world. We elected capable Sophomore officers: President, Don McClellan, Vice-President, Gene Curtis, and Secretary-Treasurer, Joanne Morash. Our first Homecoming celebration was a big thrill, and also dur- ing that year we had our first all-school Carnival, Spring Round-Upn. There was the added thrill of winning the Big 8 Conference in football. In our Junior year, we chose jerry Lathers, Carol Kruse, and Joanne Morash to lead us. That year we chose our class rings and really felt a part of B.H.S. We won the football championship again and also the basketball Regional Tournament. The Junior-Senior Prom fulfilled all our wishes for a wonder- ful dance. King, Dean Phelps, and Queen, Pat Kleiner, were the happiest couple of the evening. Our never-to-be-forgotten Senior year was all we could have asked for. Gene Knutson was elected class President, Don McClellan, Vice-President, and Holly Samuels, Secretary-Treasurer. Kent Smith became Chief Hall Monitor. Vandy,' and SchultzieU edited the Increscent and Carol Kruse and Phyllis Everill edited the BELCITER, aided by a majority of the seniors. We took second place in the Big 8 in football and our super basketball team won the Regional and Sectional championships, and went on to the State Tournament to make a good showing. What senior will ever forget the fun during that tournament! We worked hard to present our class play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, which has added glory to the Class of 1950. The Junior-Senior Prom, Blue Moonn was a glorious success, with Gene Knutson and ,loan Bittrick as the happy King and Queen. When we were presented our diplomas, we had a feeling of pride in our days at B.H.S. and also a feeling of regret at leaving behind our friends and teachers who have liked and helped us so much.
