Vice President: Suzan Brownell, Secretary, Donna Chayer, Treasurer: Tim Meyers President. Our first year in Beloit Memorial High is completed and we find that, although we are looking forward to summer vacation, it will be hard to leave all our new friends. We re- member the first few Weeks of school when We were constantly getting lost and dodging upperclassmen because they were supposedly so aloof. Since then we have learned to admire them for the aid they have given us in adjusting ourselves to our new routine. Through them and helpful teachers we knew our way around in a very short while and learned to enjoy hf gh school life. One of the most important events of the year was the choosing of class officers. We proved ourselves capable of electing promising leaders when we chose Tim Meyers as President of our class, Jim Adams as Vice President, Sue Brownell as Secretary, and Donna Chayer, Treasurer. We are extremely proud of our boys who completed the athletic seasons with many victories. They have shown a great deal of potential in all the sports and we feel our chances in the future years are promising. All in all as we review this year we believe it has been a tremendous success. We have reached many goals and feel that We can be proud of ourselves and of our school. PAGE 10 ROOTLETS 432. - 1 ROW l-B. Lanning, E, Andresen, J. Lierman, L. Danks, Y. Hartley, E. Davis, D.

PAGE 18 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS E.-sf' -qfffwy' WE? r' xUt7l'1UK v'5B 4 1 As Juniors, it is hard to realize that we have but one more eventful year left at B.H.S. Even so, we feel that our past two years have provided us with many wonderful memories. In September, our class advisor, Mr. Hertenstein, helped us to carry on our election of class officers. When the final ballots were tabulated, Dwayne Berg emerged victorious as President. Jim Walker followed close behind to become our Vice President, and Mary Wong became our Secretary-Treasurer. In October, Cathy Mannino, Jim Luety, Shirley Davis and our officers met to select three rings that the entire class voted on. It wasn't until late in February that our rings came but they were sure worth Waiting for! Our contributions to the gala homecoming were many clever and colorful floats be- sides two pretty attendants who were Dena McCauley and Gloria Spooner. Dancing to the theme of 'Springtime in Paris our Junior Royalty consisted of King Dwayne Berg and Queen Carol Knutsen. Others in the court included Marilyn Niman, Jim Walker, Nancy Graham and Jim Ewing. We'd like to bid farewell to the Seniors. Here's hoping you succeed in whatever you set out to do. Yes! This is it Juniors. Let's gather together and make this last step truly memorable. Here we go-into the new role as the class of 1955.

Leaves of gold and amber . . . yes, the tree is in the height of it's glory, and we, the class of 1954, are ready to graduate from the halls of Memorial High School. In the Spring of our high school life, as sophomores, the tree was just beginning to blossom. It was green and so were we, however, it wasn't long before we became accustomed to tre ways and wiles of high school life. We chose very capable class officers in Fritz Grutzner, Presidentg Wes Mason, Vice Presidentg and Gerry Purnell, Secretary-Treasurer. Next came Summer, the tree blossomed, growing strong and proud, as we were juniors. Selecting our class rings for us were our class officers, Wes Mason, Presidentg Cliff Lamb, Vice President and Sharon Vogt, Secretary-Treasurerg and Tom Favour, Jon Jacka, Gerry Purnell, Diane Van Cleave, and Miss Dorothy Dunn, faculty advisor. We were proud of our boys when they won the Big Eight State Basketball Tournament in Madison. Wc'll never forget Junior King, Wes Mason with his queen Lois Wilcox, who reigned at the Junior-Senior Prom with their court of Jim Brabazon and Carole Ottow, Fritz Grutzner and Janice Holmes. At last came Fall and its leaves of glowing colors. We were finally seniors in the prime of our high school life. Again we were Big Eight football champs, this year sharing the honors with Racine Horlick. Queen Sharon Vogt and her court reigned over the homecoming game and celebration. George Wash - ington Slept Here was a success as the all-school play, with Carole Ottow in a leading role. Winning thc Sectional Basketball Tournament, our Saints again journeyed to Madison, only to be defeated by Stevens Point, eventual State Champs, and Waukesha, eventual Consolation titlists. Senior king and queen Cliff Lamb and Louise Whear of the Springtime in Paris Junior-Senior Prom will always be remembered with their court of Wes Mason and Marilvn Johnson, Ron Priebe and Marilyn Hazlett. Our Student Council officers were: Jim Maris, President, Marv Bandy, Vice President, Sharon Vogt, Secrctaryg and Louise Whear, Treasurer, headed our Senior class. Tri-Editors of our Beloiter were George Oetzel, Nancy Ford, and Elaine Tamblingsong the Increscent was edited by Gerry Parkin and Leigh Shaffer. As the leaves begin to disperse and scatter, so will we, the Class of 1954, drift from the halls of Memorial High and travel the various walks of the world. However, in the Spring there will be new buds to take their places, and new faces to replace ours. In parting, we'd like to wish them luck, and we hope that their high school life will be as full and rich as ours was. PAGE 32 DONALD ALBA .ll-,ann We who are quiet aren'z necessarily asleep. B.

Members of the Board of Education have devoted much time and energy to the task of providing improved educational facilitiesg this they have done without remuneration except for the fruit of satisfaction borne by evidence of progress. It is the fervent hope of the Board of Education that students have learned the three R's well as tools of further growth and understanding. There is an additional R , how- ever, which is definitely basic to our way of living: Responsibility. As students develop into adult citizens, it is essential that a rich sense of community responsibility be devel- oped to improve and preserve the American Way of Life. In this manner modern educa- tion represents our most effective weapon against those philosophies opposed to the freedom and dignity of the individual in a democratic society. Best wishes to the class of 1954! C. E. JONES April 15, 1954 PAGE 58 DEPARTMENT OF PUPIl PERSONNEL Miss Jessie Franzg Mr. Fred Bentig Miss Lucille Laird.

Interpreting the out of school environment of pupils to the school staff. 3. Helping parents to make use of available community resources for solving pupil problems. 4. Maintaining permanent cumulative records for pupils. 5. Providing a clearing house for part-time employment for pupils. 6. Helping pupils and employers to interpret minor labor regulations and issuing Wis- consin Industrial Commission minor labor permits to eligible minors. 7. Arranging transportation facilities for eligible pupils. 8. Arranging homebound instruction for pupils who cannot attend school because of poor health. 9. Make residence and Welfare investigations.

PAGE 60 l N ii i Di artmcnt of ADMINISTRATION ROYAL B. EVERILL OLE G. KVITLE Principal Assistant Principal To the Class of 1954: As members of the Class of 1954 you are to be congratulated upon the completion of your high school careers. You have established for yourselves a high record of scholar- ship, citizenship and service. You have now come to the time when your future activities will vary widely. Some of you will continue in school and others will take their places in the economic activities of the community. Your home community has provided for your education in the American way of life in order that you may be best qualified to discharge your new social, economic and civic responsibilities. In the words of Joy Elmer Morgan: You cannot separate your citizenship from the rest of your life. Truth is the summit of being, justice is the application of it to affairs. All individual natures stand in a scale. according to the purity of this element in them. Character is the determination to earn your own Way in the World by useful service, a personal interest in human welfare that seizes every opportunity to help others improve their lives, and a deep concern for good government combined with sustained study and action. Truly character is nature in the highest form-the Wdrld today needs you at your best with qualities as these. We as citizens must meet this great challenge. l OLE G.

Quill and Scroll is an international honorary society for outstanding high school jour- nalists. It corresponds closely to the National Honor Society in its basic requirements for eligibility. For a student to be eligible for membership in the society, the candidate must be at least in the junior year of high school, have sixty published inches of written or adver- tisement material or outstanding Work in editorial work. A recommended from the ad- visor of the publication in which his Work appears must be sent to the National Secretary of Quill and Scroll and the secretary in turn will approve it. The student must have maintained a B average in high school. The purpose of Quill and Scroll is to encourage and reward individual achievement in journalism. PAGES 89 INCRESCENT ED. 8. AD. The lncrescent, student life as students see it , is the school paper of Beloit High School. During the year it is the job of the staff to gather, through its reporters, the hap- penings of importance around B. H. S. The news is then placed by the Increscent editors. The ad staff working in conjunction with the editors set-up the ads for the paper.

PAGE S32 JUNIOR RED CROSS We believe in service for others, for our country, our community, and our schoolg in health of mind and body to fit us for greater service: and for better human relations throughout the world, We have joined the American Junior Red Cross to help achieve its aims by working together with members everywhere in our own and other land. Our Junior Red Cross Council in Beloit High School, has an active program throughout the year which carries out the principles stated above from the American Junior Red Cross Declaration of Principles. Leadership is an important part of the Junior Red Cross program. Last summer Ted Streseman and Gerry Parkin attended the Red Cross National Conventions held in Washington. D. C., as Junior dele- gates. A leadership conference held in Green Lake was attended by George Oetzel, Ted Streseman, Janice Holmes and Genrose Reichert. A spring workshop is planned for the hirers of all Junior Red Cross Councils in the Country. Service for others in our country, Community and school is another of the recognized contribu- tions of the Council. A school chest, and hundreds of gift boxes are packed and sent to the school children in many lands. Several boxes of clothing for local use as well as for the children of Korea were collected this year. Gifts, magazines, decorations and favors were made for the children's home and veteran's hospitals. Personal growth, and the furthering of human relations are developed through the exchanging of albums of typical school work, Tape recordings of the instrumental and vocal groups and art work. Council members organized work groups to help at each visit of the bloodmobile unit. They di- rected the work of the Junior High councils and added further to their accomplishments this year in helping to establish for the Clinton schools, a Junior Red Cross program. We believe that our Junior Red Cross council carries out the Declaration of Principles in theory and practice. Teacher sponsors for the Junior Red Cross Council are Miss Seaver and Miss Kanable.

LOWER THE BOOM What with the thirty-two booms fsteel bars from which are hung curtains and lightsl, the fifteen draperies, and the fifty or so spotlights that are on the stage of the Memorial Theatre, it's little wonder that our fine crew this year produced such unique productions as George Washington Slept Here , The Christmas Concertv, 'fPatience , and Pride and Prejudice , to say nothing of the many assembly programs that could not have been presented if it were not for the efforts of our stage crew. Although many people think that there is nothing for a crew to do for a play but to build a set and throw some light on it, if you were back stage you'd see differently. Some of the members of the crew have spent two and three years and longer studying different lighting and sound effects, set designs, and drapery arrangements, learning from books, pictures, other people, and most important, from experience how to produce a good play. Perhaps few people realize that there are dozens of different ways to open and close a cur- tain to create an effect, not to mention the hundreds of different lighting schemes that can be created from our light board and the lights that we have. There are some mem- bers of the crew that know as much about stage craft as do many professionals. The Stage Crew, to its members, isn't merely another club, but it's a class where the teacher is experienced and the first lesson you learn is co-operation. Under the expert direction of Mrs. Reinholz and the fine leadership of George Oetzel, Ken Scott, and Dick Torrence, the Stage Crew, this year, has taken a big step forward in turning out better citizens for tomorrow.

The club met every sec- ond week and compared photos which had been taken of a certain specified type, such as portraiture, unusual lighting and photos of special events. One of the most interesting meetings was an inter-club contest on table top photography, when excellent color, as well as black and white photos, were taken. After some special preparations the club succeeded in making a life-size photograph of its advisor, Mr. Wood. While some of the beginners were being taught the fundamentals of developing and print- ing, several of the advanced members of the club compounded their own photographic chemicals and made some of their own Hlm. During some of their study halls the members obtained permission to work in the photo-lab with its complete set of modern equipment and its extensive library of photo- graphic references. In the photo-lab the members processed many photos, both for their own personal use and for use in the school publications the Beloiter and the Increscent. The club had two national high school photographic salons this year. After the club had inspected these photos they were exhibited in the show cases in the halls. All of the members participated in the National High School Photographic Awards contest and some received honors for their photos. The club has worked diligently to stimulate photographic interest in the school and to supply photos of high quality for the school publications.

The Future Teachers of America was formed with the idea that it would promote in- terest in the teaching profession and acquaint its members with the principles to teach- in . gAt the beginning of the year, each member is assigned to a teacher who will be his counselor. During the year, he is excused from classes occasionally to observe and teach this teacher's class. In the meetings of the club, interesting and informative talks are given on various aspects of teaching. Membership is open to any high school student who is interested in the teaching pro- fession and would like to learn more about it. To keep his membership in good standing, a student must actively support the organization and maintain grades which indicate probable success in college.

The band spent the first few months of the school year in preparation for half-time shows which were given at the football games. At the close of the football season the band began to work on the annual concert. This work had to be accelerated when the band accepted an invitation to give the opening concert for the Mid-Winter Music Clinic in Madison on January 7. lt was an honor for Mr. Cuthbert and the band to be invited. Following the Madison trip, the band completed the work on the 16th annual con- ccrt which was given on March 21 and 23. The program was as follows: Fingals Cave-Mendelssohn Cowboy Rhapsody-Gould Liebestod-Wagner Calfskin Calisthenics-Bennett Perpetuum Mobile-Strauss Legend of Sleepy Hollow-Bennett Les Preludes-Liszt Arrangers' Holiday-Walters, Bennett. Yoder Thunder Song-Finlayson Intermission After the concert came the solo-ensemble contest, This contest helped to develop in- dividual and group musicianship among the band members. The band finished their year with several weeks of sight-reading.

Swanson Although they were few in number, the orchestra members carried on a vigorous schedule of practice and study throughout the school year. The string players met five periods each week. Two periods were spent on individual and ensemble practice. All of the strings rehearsed together for two periods a week also. The remaining period was used for an experimental course which proved to be very successful. In this course, the music survey class, composers and their works were studied and the works were analyzed from records. The orchestra closed the year with a recital and also participated in the solo ensemble contest. M. Gordon, T. Barber, C. Hyde L. Steffens, W. Clossey PAGE 116 DANCE BAND . . .

Members of the cast received their parts in Patience several weeks after Christmas vacation. Stage hands, construction crew, the sewing, art, and shop classes, and many other individuals pooled their efforts for the production. The cast had several rehearsals during Easter vacation so that the operetta could be presented on April 20 and 21. Patience , certainly one of the grade 'A' productions of the school year, went on stage as planned and brought the tremendous approval of the audience in both performances. Principles: P.

This year's varsity choir has been one of the up-and-coming organizations in the school. Progress has been at a maximum practically ever since the group's first class meeting. The choir's pathway to the success they attained held both the highlights and the 'little things' which will long be remembered. Another important group in the vocal department is the Girl's Chorus. The chorus met twice a week. The schedule prepared them for advanced work. The choral groups and dramatics department together presented the annual Christ- mas concert, which is shown on the opposite page. The choir appeared for other per- formances given both in and out of school. Following the operetta, which was given in April, the choir prepared a spring program, gave the Baccalaureate service, and parti- cipated in the solo-ensemble contest.

Military Ball. The annual R.O.T.C. Military Ball was held in the Beloit Memorial High School gym- nasium on the night of February 6, l954. The decorations consisted of a red, white, and blue canopy with a brilliantly lit column of crepe paper in the center, resembling the cloud of an atomic explosion. In the traditional receiving line were Capt. and Mrs. Peterson, Sgt. and Mrs. Kiper, Mr. and Mrs. Farestad, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. Noreen, and Miss O. Thompson. Chicago Tribune awards were presented to Battalion Major Wayne Sorenson and M,XSgt. Charles McClure. During the intermission, the McNeel Rifles, commanded by Major Sorenson, presented a Show' of precision drill that was thrilling to Watch. Man eo le worked hard to make it possible to dance tothe. music of Monty Hacker's Y P P orchestra that evening, and they deserve our thanks for their diligent efforts.

Beloit High School is certainly fortunate to have so many fine coaches. Many an ath- lete has left Beloit High School with a much stronger character, along with many lessons of victory and defeat which will last him all his life, thanks to their efforts. Although Beloit usually gets more than its share of victories, the emphasis is not put on winning, but rather on working hard and doing the best. Whether they have a Win- ning team or losing team, our coaches remain constant in their ceaseless endeavor to build strong minds and bodies. Hundreds of boys enter the life of the world with a great respect and admiration of these, our coaches. PAGE 134 - J Y X ffm gi 5 , me FJ , My 2 i r A o on o f we i y fi fy R of ....

Hard work, and the will to win were the by-words of this year's football team. Beloit did not have exceptionally good prospects at the start of the season. Danny Johnson and Marvin Bandy were the only men back from last year's regular team and when Danny was injured in the first conference game, the Saints were not figured as a number one threat ' th C f rence The team however was not ready to give up. Even though they did in e on e . , , not have a team of stars like the 1952 team, they had a star team. Under the direction of h Coach Currier and Coach Nee they racked up victory after victory. The climax came w en they beat Kenosha 18-6 and then ran over Janesville 27-2. Although everyone on the Beloit team was doing his utmost, a few individuals re- ll t hile ceived honored recognition. Jim Ewing was elected to the All-State footba eam w Marvin Bandy and Frank Gupton received honorable mention. These three were also l t d to the all conference team Frank was the first sophomore ever to receive that e ec e - . honor. Danny Ennis, who, along with Marvin Bandy, was Co-Captain of this year's team, ' T Ch ' was chosen on the second All-Conference team. Fritz Grutzner, Stan Bolen, om ris- toiferson, and Dave Spitznagle were given honorable mention in the election of the all- conference team. Beloit Wanted to win the championship just the same as every other team in the con- ference. By trying hard and building up co-operative team work, Beloit reached its goal. The boys that earned major letter awards were: Ed Ballou, Marvin Bandy, Dwayne Berg, Stan Bolen, Tom Christofferson, Jim Colby, Dan Ennis, Jim Ewing, Fritz Grutzner, P ' b Frank Gupton, Ken Hannaman, Dan Johnson, Joe Mayes, Russell Johnson, Ron rie e, John Robertson, Gary Scott, Dave Spitznagle, Chuck Vinke, Jim Walker, Ken Weeden, Gene Mahan, and Manager, Gerald Siefert. PAGE l36 FOOTBALL SUMMARY Here come the Saints charging out on the Held led by their Co-Captains, Marvin Bandy and Danny Ennis, they are on their way to another conference championship. The first contest for the green Beloit team was against a strong Rockford East squad. The main factors in this game were rain, and fumbles. Beloit fumbled eight times and found it hard to overcome this deficit. Rockford took the kick-off and went 60 yards for the first score. Beloit fought back to the seven yard line. Then Tom Christoffer- son passed to Dwayne Berg in the end zone. The play was called back by a penalty, so Ihristofferson tried it again. This time it was also good but a Rockford man stopped Berg in the two-foot line and the E-Rabs took over, East was held and Beloit gained possession in the 20 yard line. Three plays later Frank lupton slashed around his left end straight nto the end zone. The score at the half was S-6. The rest of the game was scattered with Seloit fumbles and Rockford took advantage if them to win by a 19-6 score. The next Beloit foe was Madison Central. Xlthough the team was still green it showed hat it had plenty of spark as it defeated Ientral 26-0. WHOOPS! WE'RE OFF The Downtowners received the kick-off and Beloit stopped them immediately. After Cen- tral punted, the purple advanced the ball to the Central 42 yard line where Tom Christof- ferson threw a pass to Jim Ewing for a touch- down. Beloit again stopped Central after the kick-off. Christofferson threw another pass. This time it was to Dwayne Berg for 40 yards and another T-D. The third touchdown was scored by Frank Gupton after a 75 yard march by the Purple. In the third period, Jim Walker picked up a Central fumble on the 34 yard line. Marvin Bandy ran over from the six, but a penalty called the play back. This did not stop Beloit, and the ball was again given to Bandy who crashed ll yards for the final score. Beloit suffered its only conference defeat at the hands of Racine Horlick. Racine scored their first touchdown in the Hrst quarter. With only two and a half minutes left in the half Beloit started to roll. Christofferson reeled off a 32 yard pass to Jim Ewing and Marvin Bandy scored the touchdown on a one yard plunge. Horlick scored twice in the third period and early in the fourth to lead by a 27-6 margin. This was no quitting time for Beloit, however. Christofferson passed to Ewing for an 86 yard touchdown. PAGE 137 Another touchdown pass to Ewing was good for 44 yards. The clock was not with Purple, however, and the game ended 27-18. The llorlick loss did not bother Beloit. for they bounced right back to smother Madison West 20-6 in a game played in Beloit. The first score came after a 65 yard march by the Saints, Marvin Bandy, Jim Walker and Frank Gupton all made sizeable gains in the march. The final plunge was made by Bandy on a 16 yard sprint. Une of the most memorable incidents of the season took place when the Purple stopped the Regents on four successive plays inside the Beloit ten yard line. To top it off. Beloit then took over on downs and made an unbe- lievable jaunt of 95 yards in two minutes and a half. The climax came with ten seconds left in the half. Tom Christofferson reeled off two beautiful passes, the first to Ewing and the second to Spitznagle. Smiley gained state recognition for the spectacular catch he made of Cliristofferson's pass in the end zone. The final Beloit tally came late in the third period. After a drive from their 37. Beloit scored from the Madison 26 on an excellent running play by Marvin Bandy. West scored in the middle of the fourth quarter, but they had no chance of catching the Purple. East was the next victim ofthe up and com- ing Purple who were now tied for second place in the Big Eight. The game started slow but suddenly ex- TAXI! PAGE 138 FOOTBALL SUMMARY LOOK N0 LEGS ploded in the second quarter when Franf Gupton went off tackle, cut back, and ran 6 yards for a touchdown. One of these spectacu lar touchdowns was not enough for Beloi' Marvin Bandy scored on a similar play tha was also good for 65 yards. The third scor came on an 88 yard run by Gupton. and th crowd went wild. The final score came in the third quarte after Kenny Hanaman intercepted an Ea: pass and raced 28 yards down the side line t the end zone. He then converted and the scor stood 26-0. The only East score came in the fourt quarter and the game ended 26-6. The hig spots of the game were the long runs b Beloit's all-conference half-backs who too excellent advantages of the gaping holes tl Purple line made for them. Danny Ennis als played an exceptionally fine game. By the time the final gun sounded after tr Racine Park game, there was no doubt th: Beloit meant business. The Saints rolled ove Park by a 33-13 margin, and remained tie for the number one spot in the conference. Park was the first to draw blood as the marched 41 yards for the initial tally. Tl' lead did not stay with Park for long, howevc Frank Gupton raced off tackle for 63 yard his first of four touchdowns of the evenin The next score was made by Marvin Banc on a blast through center that carried for ' yards. The third score of the second peric came on a pass that Jim Ewing deflected in the hands of Frank Gupton. FOOTBALL SUMMARY The second half started much the same as the second quarter. Gupton smashed off tackle for a 47 yard touchdown. Jim Ewing recovered a Park fumble on the kickoff and this enabled Gupton to score for the fourth and Hnal time of the evening. VVhen Beloit and Kenosha met something had to give. Each team needed the victory to remain tied for the top spot in the conference. The Kenosha game will always be remem- bered by all who Watched or played in it. The Red Devils put us on the defense im- mediately. They marched from their own 36 yard line to a touchdown the first time they had the ball. Beloit was determined to get back in the game. The ball had been ex- changed several times when the Purple gave the mail to Bandy, who with the aid of good blocks ran 47 yards for the score. There was no scoring in the third period as both teams put up terrific defense. In the fourth period Ken Weeden punted to the Kenosha four yard line. An inspired Beloit defense held them and forced the Reds to kick. As the ball was kicked the Purple line smashed through and Jim Ewing blocked the punt to give Beloit the victory by an 8-6 margin. Chuck Vinke who captained the Purple played a great game. There was much at stake when Beloit met Janesville. The outcome was a 24-2 victory for the Purple, and it meant a tie for the championship with Racine Horlick. The scoring started with a 59 yard run by Frank Gupton. Later in the quarter Gary Scott intercepted a pass and Beloit marched within striking zone. Bandy scored with a line plunge. A pass from Christofferson to Ewing was good for another tally. The final score of the season came after a 66 yard march. Tom Christofferson went over on a quarter-back sneak. This was the end to a season for Beloit, which truly showed the validity of the state- ment, Where there is a will, there is a way. REAL GONE l PAGE 139 JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL LEFT TO RIGHT!

Grady, Coach Haglund. The junior-varsity football team enjoyed a very successful season. They won five games and lost only one. Coaches Cliff Hertenstein and Roy Haglund had different material to work with in nearly every game. The fact is that there were only seven men that won varsity letters that hadn't at one time played in a junior-varsity game. The chief purpose of the junior-varsity team is to train men for a varsity position next year. If this year's junior-varsity record is a sample of what is to come, we should be in pretty good situation next year. The minor letter winners were: Ron Christofferson, Craig Capps. Jack Freeman, Leonard Grady, William House, Phil Licary, John Lorts, Jerry Mekkelson. Bill Nehles, Dennis Noto, Paul Padilla, Hall Payne, Larry Rosenthal, David Schneider.

The sophomore basketball team coached by Mr. Dodge had a very successful season. Their total record was thirteen wins and five losses. They ended the season with ll-3 con- ference record, which was good enough to give them first place in the sophomore division. The scoring on this year's team was led by Jim Adams, Joe Padilla and David House. Other leading players were Larry Pohlman, John Nelson, Paul Brom and Terrell Nitzsche. With a fine sophomore team like we had this year, it looks like Beloit will continue to have good varsity teams.

V. BASKETBALL There actually was no junior varsity team, as such, this year. At times the team was made up of seniors, juniors and sophomores in all combinations. The team won five games and lost six. Some of the juniors and seniors on the Jay V's were: David Schnieder, Jim Colby, Garry Scott, Dennis Noto, Bucky Goodrich, Darwin Grover, Jerry Mikkelsen and Jack Reimer. Minor letter winners this year were: David Schneider, Jim Colby and Garry Scott. PAGE 142 VARSITY BASKETBALL nlwmnpiivu-C. Lamb, W. Waterman, W. Mason, J. Ewing, C. Schultz, G. Seifert. STANDING-Coach Roy Melvin, W. Hanewall, D. Berg, D. Spitznagle, R. Priebe, A. Podwell, Coach Barney Barkin. The prospects looked fairly good for this year's basketball team. They had five returning lettermen from last year's state tournament team plus other material. The weakness seemed to be the lack of height. Dave Spitznagel and Dwayne Berg were both six foot th ' ' ree and a half but it was uncertain what would happen when they met up with some of the teams that had men six feet five and over. As the season wore on, the height problem was not as great as it might have been. With the com- bin t' f ' ' a ion o masterful coaching by Roy Melvin and hard work by the entire team, the Saints were able to defeat teams which had seemingly insurmountable height advantages. The Saints ended th . y eams in the past they started slowly and came to a peak in the post-season tournament games. The team's conference record was nine wins and Five losses. This was sufficient to give them a tie for second place. It is interesting to note that even though the tea t k m oo second place in the conference, they beat Janes- ville, the Conference champions, two out of three times. One of the games that will probably be remembered for years to come was the one in which the Saints defeated Janesville to capture the regional title. As the buzzer sounded to end the game the band rang out with Wh h ' ' ' ' en t e Saints Come Marching m. The gym was a bedlam of flying banners and ringing voices. e season with a record of sixteen wins and eight losses Like man Beloit t Another memorable contest was the overtime tilt waged against Jay Shauer and Company from South Milwaukee. Sh All- ' ' ' ' ' auer, American as a Junior, was held to only 23 points as the Beloit team put itself one step away from the state tournament. The Saints lost both of the games at Madison, but they lost to good teams. After beating Beloit, Stevens Point and Waukesha went on to win the state championship and consolation championship respectively. Even though Beloit lost to Waukesha they set many state tournament records. The records were for th h' h ' ' e ig est losing score, the highest score by both teams, and the most field goals in a state tourna- ment game. Chuck Schultz set a record for the highest shooting percentage for an individual. It it Htting that the Saints set these records for we will certainly remember the t'54 team for years to come. The tournament team and varsity letter winners were' Wes Mason Ch k S . , uc chultz, David Spitznagel, Cliff Lamb, Allen Podwell, Jim Ewing, Bill Waterman, Dwayne Berg, Ace Hanewall, and Ron Priebe. A special note of gratitude should be given to Coach Ken Currier who stepped in to take Roy Melvin's position during his absence. PAGE 143 BASKETBALL ' 1.01131 ff' , . 9 ' 5 , Q .1 .

He broke the conference free throw record by 38 points and placed second in the total scoring. Wes also was named on the all-conference team and was given hon- orable mention for the state tournament team. Although he received many honors the greatest was being elected as captain of this year's fine Beloit team. It will not be easy to forget Wes's', un- orthodox set shots and impossible lay-ups. During his three years at Beloit Wes scored nearly 900 points. CLIFF LAMB Cliff will long be remembered for the three points he scored during the overtime to put the south Milwaukee game on ice. It was not unusual for Cliff to score, for he was a constant scoring threat through- out the season. At the half way mark of the season Cliff was right behind Wes Mason and Gene Suppelsa in the scoring race. Cliff was elected to the second all-con- ference team and was voted the most valu- able player of this year's team. BILL WATERMAN Bill no doubt would have seen much more action if he hadn't played behind standouts like Mason and Lamb. When ever Bill got in, he made a good showing. He was one of the top men in the Junior Varsity games that he played. Bill has always been a good defensive player and became a scoring threat also. PAGE 148 CHUCK SCHULTZ Chuck was the spark-plug of this years team. He was in the iight all the way and played as if every minute was the last. Although he is only five feet seven he got a surprising amount of rebounds. There were few of our opponents that tried to out dribble him and even fewer that got by with it. Chuck did not shoot very often but when he did it was nearly always good. He scored seventeen points against Waukesha at the state tournament as he set a new percent- age record by making 63.6777 of his shots. Chuck received honorable mention to the all-conference team. DAVE SPITZNAGEL Dave did a terrific job as a relatively small center on this year's team. Jay Shower said Dave was one of the best de- fensive men he had run up against. In the Lake Geneva game Dave brilliantly scored sixteen points and also controlled the boards in spite of two taller opponents. Dave played at his peak when the chips were down in the Geneva game but he was a standout in every game. AL PODWELL Al was a tremendous offensive threat for the Saints this year. Time and again he came in when things were bad and brought the score back to the Beloit side. He scored twenty points in the second half of a Madison Central game, to cite an example Al was always fighting for rebounds also. He was another of Be1oit's relatively short men who took a lot of rebounds from the big boys . INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS RON PRIEBE Ronny did not see much action this year, but he still worked hard. Coach Melvin could always rely on Ronny to come in and do a good job if the situation demanded him. Ronny was out for basketball three and was always willing to give his best. He became a fine rebounder. JIM EWING Jim was one of the finest defensive play- ers of this year's team. In the latter part of the season he became an offensive threat also. He scored twenty one points in the final game of the season against Waukesha. Jim is a real fighter on the basketball fioor and he usually comes up with the re- bound if it is near him. He will no doubt be a mainstay in next year's team also. SEASON'S SUMMARY ACE HANNEWALL Ace didn't join the team until the middle of the season. He worked hard but he had a difficult time when there were so many fine players ahead of him. Ace is a good shot and a good offensive player. DWAYNE BERG Dwayne developed into one of the main spokes in the Beloit basketball wheel this year. His height was a definite factor when the Saints met and defeated teams which had huge height, advantages as the South Milwaukee quintet. Dwayne also played a superb game against Waukesha although it was a losing one. It is certain Dwayne will figure promi- nently in the basketball picture next year. The Saints started the season with a 76 to 72 victory over Hebron. Cliff Lamb led the scoring attack with 23 points. The first conference encounter waswaged against Madison Central at Madison. Madison Central defeated our boys by a 65 to 68 count in an overtime contest. Al Podwell scored 20 points in the second half. Racine Park was favored to win the Big Eight conference championship, but they found out what their fate was to be when Beloit defeated them 71 to 60. Madison East was dealt a 79 to 72 defeat in the next game as Beloit broke over the .500 percent mark. Johnny Orr's excellent squad from Dubuque gave Beloit their only home loss of the season as they defeated us 79 to 62. Dave Spitznagle played an excellent defensive game for the Purple. Belvidere took the weary road home in another non-conference tilt by the score of 77 to 67. Wes Mason led the scoring as Beloit defeated Kenosha 69-63. It was a game that had to be won if we were to get our conference percentage up to .500. The Saints trounced Racine Park, 75-53, to bounce them out of first place. Cliff Lamb led the attack with 18 points. In a hard fought game Janesville defeated us for our third conference loss in a game played at Janesville. Dave Spitznagle played an excellent game as he not only controlled the rebounds but also scored 14 points. Despite the valiant efforts by Beloit we were de- feated 61-64. With a .690 shooting percentage, the Saints were able to defeat Madison West 50 to 36. It was a strange game, for West continually stalled during the first half. The half time score was 13-7 in Beloit's favor. Out to avenge an earlier defeat, Beloit skinned Central 54 to 43. Wes Mason scored 17 points in the final half to help pull the game out of the bag. PAGE 147 SEASON'S SUMMARY Beloit could not overcome the foreign court jinx as they lost their fourth conference game. All of their losses to date, have been in out-of-town games. Racine Horlick was the team that came out on top this time by a 60-70 margin. Cliff Lamb lead Beloit to a 68-55 victory over Madison East. Cliff scored seventeen points. Janesville did not have the luck against Beloit when the two teams tangled in our gym. This time it was 76-67 victory for the Saints. Wes Mason lead the attack with 33 points of which 15 were free throws. Kenosha again found it tough sledding as they were downed 66-60 here at Beloit. At this point Wes Mason was three points ahead of Gene Suppelsa of Kenosha in the confer- ence scoring race. With a 85-71 defeat over Madison East, Beloit was riding in second place in the con- ference. Wes Mason scored 27 points while Al Podwell came through with 20. A last minute shot by a Racine Park man gave Park a 60-62 victory over the Saints. This loss put Beloit in a tie for second place in the conference with Kenosha. REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Beloit opened the regional tournament with a 61-47 victory over Whitewater City High's quintet. The half time score was 31-23. From there on the show was all Beloit and Coach Roy Melvin substituted freely. In the second encounter of the tournament the Saints defeated a very strong Lake Geneva squad 58-48. Wes Mason scored 20 points, but Dave Spitznagle stole the show with his fine rebounding and timely scoring. A typical Beloit-Janesville game was the setting for the championship game of the regional tournament. The Saints, of course, beat their traditional rivals and advanced to the sectional tournament. Chuck Schultz scored a badly needed 11 points in the first half and Beloit came on to win 59-55. An overtime thriller against an extremely potent South Milwaukee club started the sectional tournament with a bang. Using an excellent defensive pattern in which every Beloit man had to do his utmost, we were able to force the game into an overtime period and eventually win by a 56-52 margin. The Brodhead game which was played for the championship was not too close. Beloit won a 89-53 victory with everyone on the Purple bench seeing plenty of action. STATE TOURNAMENT The Saints were defeated in the first game of the state tournament. Although Stevens Point had a fine team and eventually went on to win the state tournament, it can not be said that Beloit played a fine game. The team was off, and although they fought hard throughout the game they could not overcome their poor shooting percentage of .221. Al Podwell did a great deal to keep us in the fight during the first half as he put 14 points through the hoop. The game ended with Stevens Point on top 74-53. The Waukesha contest was a much better game. The Saints rolled up a terrific .436 shooting percentage. The only trouble was Waukesha shot at a .471 percentage. The game was a thriller all the way. The score was 21-20 at the first quarter, 38-36 at the half, and 57-56 at the third quarter. Al Podwell made a basket in the last five seconds to tie the game 81 all and send it into an extra three minute period. From there on it was all Wau- kesha and the game ended 88 to 84. Chuck Schultz set an individual scoring percentage record as six records in all were broken. This was the climax to a very successful season in which Beloit High School made the name of the Saints known throughout Wisconsin. PAGE 148 SWIMMING .nun nuw-rx McQuade, K. Nelson, E. Taylor, P.

Althou h th ' ' ' - thing remarkable, ' ' g ey didn t accomplish any everyone was well satisfied with the season's results. The team was coached by George Wittich and they practiced at the Y.M.C.A. pool. Jack Benko- vich was the captain of the team. Jack participated the individual medley, the 50 yard freestyle and the 75 yard relay. Kent Nelson was another stand-out of Beloit's first swimming team. Kent entered the diving, and 100 yard free-style events. The 200 yard free-style relay team consisted of Charles Seifert, Ed Taylor, Pat McMahon and John Lorts. The boys who participated in the 150 yard medley relay were Jack Rogers, John Lorts and Ed Taylor. The aquamen had two meets before the state meet which was held at Whitefish Bay. The first meet was at Janesville. Beloit made a good showing as they bowed to Janesville, who placed second in the state, by a 29 to 50 margin. The second and best encounter was with an element of the Beloit Co1lege's tive swimmers. Beloit failed to place in the state meet at Whitefish Bay, but all in all it was considered a good year. The team worked hard. They started a new sport at Beloit which may be a very important one. The major letter winners were: Jack Benkovich, Pat McMahon, Jack Rogers, Kent Nelson. The minor winners were: Charles Seifert, Ed Taylor, Fred McQuade, and John Lorts. Doin' Things a Little Backwards. PAGE 149 WRESTLING TEAM FIRST ROW-R. Bakke, Don Bakke, D. Murphy, J.

Our grapplers also lost a match to Madison East. ln the conference meet Adolphus Williams placed second, Bill House and Bill Nehls were third and Joe Mayes and Hank Hattiex placed fourth. Beloit sent three men to the state tournament and Joe Mayes came back with fourth place. Coach Currier did not take over the team until the middle of the season. While Coach Currier had the basketball team, Harry Pohlman graciously helped out.

In the meets to date the Sai t h n s ave won one, dropped two, and tied one. Coach Seymour Provus has been going along with H l oward Christianson and Fred McQuade as his first double team. They have been very impressive and could conceiv- ably place high in the conference. Bucky', Goodrich is holding down the iirst si l ng es spot thus far.

They also placed third in a four-way meet held here at Beloit. The Saints have a tough schedule for the meet. Some of the top teams are from both Wisconsin and Illinois. Some of the outstanding players other than returning letter men are Jervis Swannack and Kent Nelson. The golf squad gives Beloit High School boys a chance to develop a good golf game While at the same time they also add to the high school's fine sports record. Although we do not hear about the golf team as much as we might, they are nevertheless working hard and doing a good job.

The main reason for the squad's unsuccessfulness, is probably the fact that here are so many other spring sports. One of the bright spots in the track picture has been our .880 yard relay team of Priebe, Johnson, Scott and Hattiex. Frank Gupton also has done an outstanding job in the few meets thus far. He was injured in the Rockford Relays, however, and as this is being written, the extent of his injury is still unknown.

All the boys on this year's squad ran hard but they were only able to come through with one victory. It was difficult for coach Dodge that he had only three returning letter men to work with. Wally Stockwell, Bill Waterman and Charlie Hamilton were the outstanding runners on this year's squad. They all had been on the squad in previous years.

There are great hopes for our fine baseball team this year. Although there are only three seniors on the squad, they have a veteran infield. The pitching this year is being done by Jim Colby, Dave Schneider, and Tom Mogilicki. Jim Colby won four and lost only one game last year and seems to be taking up where he left off. Fritz Grutzner, who was voted the most valuable player on last year's team is again carrying a big stick for the Saints , Jack Freeman has done an outstanding job thus far, also. Coach Harry Poh1man's squad has their eyes on the State Tournament and it looks as if they might make it. Baseball is only in its second year at Beloit Memorial High School, but it has already firmly established itself as an outstanding sport.

The art classes helped with the decorations, using a Va.lentine's Day theme. Valentine men and hearts decorated the tables and walls, adding a festive air. Miss L. Thompson and Hostess Club planned and served the delicious meal of roast chicken, with a special Valentine salad. Jim Maris gave grace and Mr. Wood and Louise Whear presented the toasts. Josie Krussell furnished the dinner music. After the meal, everyone retired to the Community room, where a program was pre- sented with Mary Wong acting as mistress of ceremonies. From the community singing to the comedy act of Dwayne Berg and Ken Weeden, everyone enjoyed themselves. Others participating in the program were: Dave Palmer, Karl Wiley, Ted Streseman, Jim Maris, John Wilhelm, Fritz Grutzner, Reed Kammerer, Jerry Thurman, Dick Torrence, Wes Brill, Dan Lancaster, Madine Taylor, and Cathy Schowalter. The new teachers all told an anecdote of their lives, with the winner, Mr. Melvin receiving the prize which consisted of a rubber bone tied with a red ribbon. He gallantly carried out the prescribed conditions of winning the prize by wearing it around his neck the next day at school.

PAGE 165 ASSEMBLIES 1-79 FEBRUARY 3 Mr. Leo Lania, editor of the magazine United Na- tions World. advised us that one of the greatest weap- ons we have to use against communism is education. lVlr. Lania, along with this advice. told us of many of his experiences in Europe prior to and during World War ll. PAGE 166 We on the Beloiter staff believe the stu- dents of Memorial High enjoyed exceptional assembly programs during the school year. From many Walks of life and from many parts of the United States and the world came speakers and entertainers to inform and en- tertain us. On many occasions the Beloiter camera was able to record the visits of our guests. We are only sorry we could not get them all before our lens. FEBRUARY 16 Dorothy and Fred Smythe brought to our stage their interpretation of sparkling piano music. They alter- nated their piano duets with such novelty numbers as ac- companying a recording with drums and maracas. FEBRUARY 17 W Hailing from stage, screen and 1-adi0TMFEE1di?IE ken, accompanied by his wife, visited us one after- noon. He entertained us with a skilled exhibition of panto- mine, a song from his cur- rent show, and advised the stage struck to Work hard and persevere. MARCH 4 Track star Glen Cunning- ham inspired us all by re- lating to us how, in spite of difficult handicaps, he rose to become a champion in his field. His talk im- pressed us all and some were anxious to shake his hand after the program. ASSEMBLIES FEBRUARY 23 We seated ourselves in the gym and admired the agility and grace of Mr. and Mrs. Lund who hold honors for skill in the game called ping pong. Some of us proved to be good sports and joined the Lunds in their game. . .

Billed as the Gospel Four, and accom- panied by Mrs. Arlene Munson, Ken Munson, Jim Barton, Bov Van Meetren and Hugh York featured an hour of fine quartet har- mony. PAGE 168 alll. MARCH 12 We have good talent among us, too. In a program sponsored by Junior Thea- tre we enjoyed watching and listening to the talents of Lois Van Epps, Joyce Ringquist, Alvin Thompson, Jerry Thurman. and Reed Kammerer. Dwayne Berg emceed and the Swing Band provided a musical background. Uk e APRIL 8 Mr. Chang No. Pak re- kindled our appreciation of the American way of living. Escaping from his iron cur- tained homeland, North Ko- rea, Mr. Pak has spent sev- eral years in the United States studying for the pur- pose of some day returning to help his own people. As he reviewed his experiences as a high school student. we couldn't help being thankful of our own status. ASSEMBLIES APRIL 21 Through the medium of the colored moving picture Mr. Cleaves took us with him on his adventures of photographing Wild life at night. Our trip extended through the south eastern part of the United States ending in the state of Flor- ida. Mr. Cleaves demon- strated some of the equip- ment he uses in night pho- tography. ii. U .al 'x Q YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN We could not close our assembly sec- tion without including a picture of our Jim. We are not implying by this pic- ture that Jim favored us with a solo. This snap shot was taken a Whole year ago right after graduation exercises. Jim as President of Student Council, acted as master of ceremonies for many of our programs, and We think he did a fine job. i ll APRIL 27 During the summer of 1954, Beloit's phones will be switched from a manual to a dial system. Mr. Karel Richmond, Customer rela- tions supervisor explained some of the intricacies and mysteries of telephone sci- ence to us and gave us some helpful information con- cerning the use of the dial phone. PAGE 169 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS V' ,i PAGE 170 1 BELOITER Nancy Ford, George Oetzel and Elaine Tamblingson served as tri- editors of the 1954 Beloiter. Nancy and Elaine were our junior editors during 1953. For their theme this year the staff chose Trees , seeing a compatible comparison between the physical growth of a tree and the spiritual, mental and physical growth of a student. John Martin worked hard prepar- ing our senior section and was assist- ed by Beverly Tuttle. STAFF The art staff which handled all the division pages in our book consisted of Jerry Parkin, Margaret Thompson, Pat Rogers fchairmanj, Genrose Rei- chert, Darwin Kepler, Alice Babcock and David Thayer fnot picturedl. Under the supervision of Mrs. Dawes, these skilled people did an excellent job. Carole Ottow headed our advertis- ing staff and Alice Babcock was in charge of our faculty section.

On both counts we think he has done an excellent job loyally and faithfully. Our appreciation of his efforts cannot in this small space be adequately expressed.

Roy has spent many. many hours outside of school to bring us these fine prints. We appreciate more than we can here say all the loyal and faith- ful help he has extended.

PAGE 176 A TRIBUTE TO OUR TEACHERS A Builder builded a temple, He Wrought it with grace and skill, Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his Will. Men said, as they saw its beauty, It shall never know decayg Great is thy skill, O Builder! Thy fame shall endure for aye. TWO TEMPLES A Teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts, None knew of her wondrous plan, For the Temple the Teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the Builder's temple, Crumpled into the dust, Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust. But the temple the Teacher builded Will last while the ages roll, For that beautiful unseen temple Was a child's immortal soul.

Yes, since that day, the industry has grown tremendously for two good rea- sons: 1st-You and your forefathers de- manded it. 2nd-Our American Way of Life al- lowed it. Today, the electric industry is still growing at the rate of 1021 every year. Your demand must be met and we are doing our best to keep ahead.
