HENRY This year THE BELOITER is very happy to dedicate its 1954-55 edition to Mr. William B. Henry. Mr. Henry is retiring at the end of the current year. He joined the high school staPf in 1921. During his early years he taught history and music apprecia- tion and was in charge of the high school orchestra. We are very sorry that Mr. Henry is leaving us. We will miss his cheery smile and his piano playing, but we know his pleasant personality and his many kind acts will long be remembered by his students and associates. For his departure we would like to parody a familiar quotation: Well done, good and faithful teacher.

Here are the facts . . . We, the class of 1955, are now ready to leave Beloit Memorial High School and take our place in society. But, before we pass through these doors for the last time, let us turn and take a look at the memories that will go with us. As Sophomores we elected Jim Walker, Jim Luety, and Judy Moore to be our class officers. Re- member the all school play Father of the Bride? Dave Decker and John Reinholz were our contribu- tion to the cast. Cynda Beth Amrine was the only Soph. ROTC sponsor that year too. 1953 was also the year we had an unbeaten football team, and one of the years we took our basketball team to the state tournament. The Mikado was our first operetta too, in fact, it was the iirst ever given at B.H.S. During our Junior year we voted Dwayne Berg, Jim Walker, and Mary Wong class officers. And the all school play George Washington Slept Here had, as Junior cast members, Dan Lancaster John Reinholz, Reed Kammerer, and Jack Hill. In March of 54 we got our class rings, remember? We elected Dwayne Berg and Carol Knutsen as Junior King and Queen of the Junior-Senior Prom. Our operetta that year was Patience . Jim Luety, Dwayne Berg, Mary Wong, and Janice Holmes were elected our student council officers, remember Jim's speech? The first thing we knew we were Seniors and the best part of our school life was about to come to an end. Our class officers were Jim Walker, Stan Bolen, and Jo Polaski. Dena McCauley was our Homecoming Queen. Judy Walsh and Bob Perkins were co-editors for the Increscentg and Mary Wong, Mary Ann Wright, and Jerry Fisher were tri-editors of the Beloiter. The all school play was A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and Down in the Valley and Trial by Jury our operettas, Midget Homecoming was something new for us too that year. Ebb Tide was the theme for the Junior-Senior Prom, with King Jack Freeman and Queen Jo Polaski. In the Senior court were Dave Schneider, Mary Ann Wright, Dwayne Berg and Karen Nelson. Katie Hauger was elected Battalion sponsor of the ROTC and the Military Ball was real Kool as we danced under those silver stars hanging from the arch. For our Senior Class Play we did Time Out for Ginger , with Alice Porter, Jack Hill, and Peggy Oberbruner taking the leads. Remember the High School Swing Band and the fun we had at those Friday night dances? That was the year we got our new track too, and the year everyone laughed themselves silly at the Senior Talent Show and Dink Berg's imitations. The time is now 9:30 P.M.. June 10, 1955, graduation is over and there are few dry eyes as we, the class of 1955, take off our caps and gowns and give them to the Captains of next year.

Among many of the fond memories that we have of our high school days will be those of our Junior year. Our homecoming this year was a wet one but I'm sure you'1l all agree that our home- coming court attendants, Mary Alice Winger and Susan Brownell, looked just as pretty. Our first big event of the year was the electing of class officers. The class all agreed that the following would do the job and do it well. They elected Paul Lancaster as Presi- dent, Robert Amman as Vice President, and Judith Berger as Secretary-Treasurer. In November, the class officers along with several members of the junior class and Mr. Paul Nee as faculty advisor, selected three rings. These rings were then put before the whole Junior class for election. Taking Junior class pictures, producing the Junior Stage Show and dancing at the Junior-Senior Prom to the theme of Ebb Tide with Paul Lancaster as our junior King and Rondi Malsch as his Queen and their court which consisted of Terrell Nitzche and Mimi Winger, James Adams and Sandra Siepert, were some of the highlights of our Jun- ior year that will never be forgotten.

PAGE 57 JUNIOR APRIL SENIOR PROM I955 The Junior-Senior Prom proved to be one of the most enjoyable formals of the school year. The theme was Ebb-Tide which was carried out very effectively. Fishnets of bright colors decorated with sea horses and star fish made up the false ceiling. The 10' replica of a light house brought many ohs and ahs. Behind the coronation platform there was erected a large yellow stariish. The music was provided by Al Raymond and his orchestra from Rockford, Illinois. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of the Kings and Queens and the traditional Grand March. The Senior King was jack Freeman. He chose Jo Polaski to be his Queen. Miss Polaski wore a white princess style iioor length formal accented with her corsage of red roses. Members of the Senior court were Dave Schneider who escorted Mary Ann Wright, and Dwayne Berg whose date was Karen Nelson. Miss Wright wore a lavender ballerina formal with pink accessories. She carried a colonial bouquet of pink roses and violets. Miss Nelson was gowned in a pink formal with an overskirt of black lace. Her flowers were pink roses and white carnations made into a colonial bouquet. The junior King was Paul Lancaster and his Queen was Rondi Malsh. Miss Malsh's formal was white organdy with yellow daisies scattered over the skirt finished off with a wide yellow sash. She wore a corsage of white carnations and yellow daisies. The Junior Court consisted of Terrell Nitzsche whose date was Mary Alice Winger. Miss Winger wore a pink ballerina length formal with pink accessories. Her corsage was of white roses. james Adams who escorted Sandra Siepert completed the junior Court. Miss Siepert chose to wear a pink formal with tier upon tier of ruffles. She wore a wrist corsage of white carnations for her Howers. Pink accessories completed her attire. The evening was one that will always be in the memories of those who attended the Junior-Senior Prom of 1955. PAGE 58 ROOKIES si g :.. l . Grace Macklem Lois Acherman Wally Gobel Having completed our first year at Beloit Memorial High School, the Class of 1957 finds that it is looking forward to an exciting and interesting summer vacation, but it will not forget the first few days of school this year. We remember the wonderment when we opened the doors of this school to begin a new and exciting adventure. We remember the upperclassmen with their seemingly aloofness, but after a few weeks no one could tell the sophomores from the seniors. One of the first things accomplished by the sophomores this year was the election of officers. Wally Gobel was elected presidentg Grace Macklem was chosen vice-presidentg and Lois Acherman was elected secretary-treasurer. The officers served the entire year. The Class of '57 will never forget their first homecoming with Judy Archambault and Theo Vitakis representing them. We are duly proud of our class athletes who participated in the sports events of the year, helping our school to win the victories that it did. The sophomores formed the Roarin' '57 at the beginning of the year to promote school spirit. The club was exclusively sophomores. Now with the school year nearing an end we find ourselves a little sad, but with open minds and hearts we are looking forward to next year when we'll be JUNIORS, and Up- perclassmen . We hope that next year will prove to be as interesting and rewarding as this one has been. Let's remember, high school is literally a once in a lifetime event! PAGE 59 ROOKIES A-34 ROW 1-N. Cox, N.

Zin emuriam January 28, 1898 April 8, 1955 The community of Beloit was shocked to hear of the death of James Wootton on April 8, in Utica, New York. A fatal heart attack brought to an end thirty-two years of devoted service to Beloit High School. In his years at Beloit High, he taught chemistry, practical science, and mathematics. In re- cent years he had been in charge of the audio-visual program. We could u e many paragraphs to tell of his virtues and the faithful way in which he performed his work, but that is not necessary because every student that was ever fortunate enough to have him as a teacher can give living testimony of his virtues. We do not know what Mr. Wootton' motto was, but we think the following one used by The Beloit News-Flash very appropriate: I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. PAGE 70 ROYAL B.

The class of 1955 has, by its record, continued to strengthen three qualities among the students of Memorial High School which will pay handsome dividends in the future. First, there is a definite effort by a large number of students to establish for themselves standards of academic achievement which are directly in line with their ability. Second, each year more students are electing fifth courses, because of a sincere desire to make the most of the educational opportunities offered them. Third, more students are, each year, choosing the tough courses because they offer a real challenge to strong academic ability. The rewards of these efforts are numerous. For the students who enter college, their ability to pass scholarship examinations with excellence is each year bringing more and more of the really substantial scholarships, even up to nearly two thousand dollars per year, to our graduates. For those entering the world of work, the possession of a strong high school record is their strongest recommendation. And for all, there is no greater personal satisfaction than the realization that their record shows work well done. For these, we congratulate you. ROYAL B. EVERILL, Principal OLE G.

Jervis Swannack, William Freeman, Emanuel Kapitanolif, To the Class of 1955: We hope your experiences in the Beloit Public Schools have not only provided you with the necessary basic skills but also have contributed richly to your concept of the American Way of Life. You may violate your natural intellectual curiosity by passive resistance to our great wealth of knowledge or you can preserve your great heritage by wise investment in the rich market of culture and knowledge. You may sacrifice understanding and practice of the American Way of Life by in-- Hammation through the communistic philosophy or you can recognize the value of hu- man dignity and decency, avoiding enslavement of the common man. You may, by over-indulgence in intoxicating beverages, destroy yourselves either slowly or rapidly on the treadmill of misery and despair or you can choose to retain your judgment, money and self-respect by intelligent abstinence. You may use the modern high-powered automobile as a convenient method of trans- portation or you can use it as ticket to the valley of death. You may ridicule the holy institution of marriage by regarding it as a mere pleasure ride on the sea of passion or you can recognize it as a dignihed carriage of decency sanc- tified by God. You may avoid or neglect the rich and lasting value of faith in your Creator or you can recognize and practice the basic principles of goodness and decency as taught by the Greatest Teacher who ever lived. We hope you young people will cast that mold of influence which can be tooled into a beautiful pattern of respect, virtue and integrity which is so vital to the American Way of Life. Congratulations and Good Luck to the Class of 1955. C. E.

Place-anywhere that people are performing. Assignment-make the theater in Beloit a better art. This is the stage crew- This year the fifteen members of the crew were managed by Bruce Fowler and Jack Hill, and advisement came from Mrs. R . This was the first year girls were allowed to be members of the crew: they served as the crew's own private art staff with Barbara Bunnell as chairman. 1 For most of the seniors on the crew, especially the Stage Managers, the arts of the theatre have been forged since their sophomore year. During this year on the average of three hours a day was spent by the managers and different crew members in order to pro- duce such productions as Connecticut Yankee and Christmas Program, the operettas, the Easter Assembly, ffor which the violet cross lights alone took 22 hours of work to ad- justj, Time Out for Ginger , and literally scores of other productions. Because of their great love for the theatre and the promotion of civic interests, a number of the crew has helped outside groups such as Beloit Civic Theatre, Hospital Auxiliary, Clinton High School, Beloit Community Concert Association, and numer- ous church groups. There's little doubt in anyone's mind that the Stage Crew rates high in service and civic betterment for B.H.S. and the community as a whole. PAGE 95 JR. THEATRE Left to Right: ROW l-J.

In ,S 5 IIB ' f J 104 O Q 5 - A2626 AL QQZQZE' mm - mf- mm - umm BAND This year in band, the busiest and most exciting of the past three, brought an unforgettable finale of activities to the graduating seniors. Juniors and sophomores also added memorable moments to their high school days. To start things off all members met for the yearly fall picnic where new friends were made and the band spirit was again rekindled. The band's halftime performances at football games were especially successful. The show with Aunt Jemima, the trip to Madison West, and the senior-planned show were among the season's highlights. Twenty members will never forget the thrill of playing in an ensemble program for the National Mid-West Band Directors Clinic. Those few days in Chicago were really worth the many hours of practice. Another event which proved exciting for the entire band was the preparation and perform- ance of the Circus Night Concert under the direction of Merle Evans, conductor of the Ringling Brothers Circus band. The long anticipated spring concert finally came on March 27 and 29. The seventeenth annual Be- loit high school band concert was said by many to be one of the finest of them all. A varied, interest- ing program, well played brought many compliments to the band. At the realization that this was their final concert brief sadness filled the hearts of seniors. A new undertaking was the sponsorship of a magic show starring the amazing Lee Grabel. The proceeds augmented the band fund. The history of the band, complete with pictures of the drum major and majorettes, football season formations, and the officers, was the March cover story in a national band magazine- Marching Bands and Majorettesf' During the month of May strains of music could be heard from the open windows as band mem- bers prepared for the annual solo and ensemble contest held on May 27. The last concert of the year was held outdoors in the warm spring air a few days before graduation. These three years have brought many memories for the seniors and they will not easily forget the many hours of hard work and fun. If seniors remember nothing else they will never forget that what really pays off is discipline. PAGE 112 BAND Drum Majorettes . Student Conductor . Flute Sandra Knutson, Lt.

In the fall the choir started out hardly able to get through a simple song and developed into a group that memorized two operettas and produced them both in the same evening. At Christmastime a concert of seasonal music was given in cooperation with the two junior high schools. The choir's presentation of the two operettas- Down in the Valley and Trial by Jury -received much acclaim. This was the third annual operetta program given by the choir. In May a spring concert was presented by the varsity choir. Most of the members par- ticipated in the yearly music department contest on May 27. PAGE 115 GIRLS' CHORUS ROW l-J. Donaldson, B.

The Beloit Memorial High School R.O.T.C. battalion presented its thirtieth annual Military Ball on the evening of February 5, 1955. The music was furnished by Bill Engberg and his band. The theme of this year's ball was, The Stars and Stripes. The high school gym was beautifully decorated with a red, white, and blue crepe paper canopy while colorful stars glittered amongst the dancing couples. The chaperones for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. James Barron, Mr. and Mrs. G. E. McCauley, Mr. and Mrs. H. Martin, Miss Orpha Thompson, and Mrs. Jessie D. Wright. The highlights of the evening were the cutting of a giant cake, the grand march, a beautiful show of precision drill by the McNeel Rifle drill team, and the presentation of awards and promotions. The Chicago Tribune gold medal award was presented to Captain Charles McClure while the silver award went to Captain Ernest Kimmel. It can easily be said that this was one of the best military balls ever to be put on by the Beloit R.O.T.C. battalion. The R.O.T.C. offers its thanks to all of those persons who helped make this year's ball the glittering success it was. This is the Grand March, a feature at every year's Military Ball.

Though unpublicized, Sophomore football is one of the key periods of a future varsity man's career. Here, under Coaches Roy Melvin and Bernard Barkin, a boy learns the basic system of Head Coach Ken Currier: How the plays are called, his job at the position he plays and how to condition himself via work. The latter helps make into reality the fact that few Beloit players are on the ground due to injuries. The practice drills are the same as varsity ball. This makes it possible for a sophomore with the needed qualifications to step into the varsity or J. V. with little, if any, readjustment or new assignments. Such is the set-up that helps put congruity into the Purple athletic program. This year saw the initiation of numeral awards to sophomores. The winners of them were: Michael Coons, Fred Ford, Earl Gunz, Richard Hammil, Donald Holmbeck, Phillip Johnson, Charles Lamb, Herbert Mahan, John Marsh, Thomas McCarthy, Bob Oberbrun- er, Jan Ocker, Anthony Padilla, Jacob Payne, Felix Peterson, Ken Schoville, Charles Smith, and Richard Willard.

They are the hot shots of the Melvin-Barkin crew and varsity men who did not play in their previous game. These games are usually played Saturday morning with the scores being unimportant. The chief purpose of them is as a proving ground. There is no pressure exerted by crowds or coaches. Fundamentals are what count. Thus the main job of this unit is to prepare a player for varsity ball in which there is the pressure of crowds and victories are important. This years team played five games winning four, including a 50-0 swamping. The men who have the big job keeping their various personnel straight are Clifford Her- tenstein and Roy Haglund, J. V. coaches. Few are the players who have not come under their supervision after three years as a Purple grider. The winners of the minor letters were: Dick Beck, Ron Clayton, Leonard Grady, Bill House, Allen Little, Don Mackey, John Massen, Bob McCawley, Tim Meyer, Hall Payne. Larry Pohlman, Walter Strong, Wayne Stuht, and Bill Tefft. The managers were Garry Johnson, Donovan Murphy and Dave Sorenson.

The name seems to have a ring to it for football players. It is the motivating goal of all those cold nights of hard work in the J.V. and sophomore years. Here they do have the publi- city, crowds, headlines, and that element of pressure. Previous instruction pays off as Head Coach Ken Currier puts the team through its paces. The fine football witnessed by Beloiters this year was made possible by the work of many, but some received special recognition for their contributions. Stan Bolen and Jim Walker were elected by their teammates as the 1954 co-captains. By the same procedure Jim Ewing and Frank Gupton were voted co-most valuable. In a wider scope Jim Ewing, endg Stan Bolen, guardg and Frank Gupton, halfback received All- Big Eight conference ratings. Dwayne Berg, the 1eague's top pass-catching end was placed on the second team while George Harrell, Jim Walker, and Russ Johnson received honorable mention votes. On the Associated Press All-Wisconsin high school team Bolen and Gupton received honorable mention. Probably the highest honor offered a high school athlete, that of All-State, was bestowed upon Jim Ewing, rangy Beloit end. He also gained the same berth on the 1953 team as its only junior and thus became the first repeater in B.H.S. history as well as the First Beloit All-American. The year again saw Paul Nee coaching the line which, as usual, failed to receive its due recognition. The Purple finished the year with a 5-2 conference record plus a pre-season triumph. This was good enough to place them behind Racine Horlick and Madison West who tied for First. Receiving their major letter awards at this year's football assembly were: Dwayne Berg, Stanley Bolen, Paul Brom, Tom Calkins, Craig Capps, James Colby, David Ensley, James Ewing, Jack Free- man, Frank Gupton, Arlan Halvenslaben, George Harrell, Russell Johnson, Phillip Kemnitz, Phil Licary, Joe Padilla, Gary Scott, Charles Seifert, James Walker, Dale Watson and Ken Weeden. PAGE 1110 Beloit 7 - Kenosha 'I3 A contrast of offensive back- fields, power versus speed, proved advantageous for the former, Kenosha, as the muddy gridiron played a key role. Gupton's 70 yard run to the 15 proved futile as Dwayne Berg in the end zone let the elusive, wet ball escape to ruin a certain touchdown. Gupton later scored from the one yard line. All in all Old Man Weather raised havoc with this year's Homecoming festivities. Beloit 14 - Central 'l3 Beloit made its yardage on the ground, but scored on passes by jack Freeman. The first was a 28 yard play to Berg. Frank Gupton made a brilliant grab for counter No. 2. Dale Watson's pair of suc- cessful conversions proved the fa- tal difference. Ewing, through his fine defensive work, convinced Central of the impracticalness of going around his end. FO0TBAll SUMMARY Beloit 20 - Rockford 13 This Purple victory started the season on the right foot. Initiating the scoring was Gary Scott from the six. According to the Illinois rules the defense may advance a fumble. Knowing this jim Ewing covered the 55 yards to the end zone af- ter a Rockford miscue. The winning tally came on Russ Johnsons deceptive 40 yard gallop. Beloit 7 - Racine Park 6 The Saints started their conference title de- fense with a triumph. The second period saw quar- terback Freeman hit Berg for pay dirt. The criti- cal conversion was made by Dale Watson and Be- loit procured the victory by it. After a fine john- son run, Beloit lost control and ended another threat. A penalty cost Park a draw. PAGE l-ll FOOTBALL SUMMARY risk We -A Beloit 25 - East 0 This cold evening saw Ewing after just missing an impossible catch, haul in one of near equal quality in the end zone. Later in the period Ewing tallied on another Freeman toss. Then Gupton took over the scoring job and entered the end zone twice before Coach Currier sent in the reserves. Beloit 27 - Janesville 7 On the second play Gupton went 60 yards for a T.D., then 15 for No. 2. Next Ewing, play- ing a tremendous game, caught a Freeman offering and galloped 50 yards through a broken field to pay dirt. Then from the two jim Walker, senior fullback, scored his first Big 8 T.D. Ew- ing, as usual, and Phil Kemnitz stood out in the line. The bench was cleared before the final gun of 1954 sounded. PAGE 142 Beloit 26 - Horlick 20 In this well played game Be- loit tallied four touchdowns. Registering the first was Frank Gupton on a 63 yard romp. He later in the half scored No. 3. The other two came on Free- man-Berg passes, Berg utilizing his height, looked extremely good this Oct. eve. Despite a 26-7 half score, only a penalty stopped the tying T.D. from counting. Beloit 7 - West 18 The Purple could only score once this game, Gupton hauling in a pass in the last minutes of period two. Sophomore Don Mackey debuted as a varsity man and shown on his passes, one being the night's only T.D. jim Ewing was a serious men- ace to West's defense and of- fense. f Q BASKETBALL LL RRE HA EY MACK 54 55 fi?

Coach Roy Melvin fielded a very young team this year as only three seniors gained regular berths. This seems to be a good indication that next year's cage coach, Johnny Erickson, will have the material to go far in his return to the Beloit High School bas- ketball scene. The Saints were co-captained through the season by seniors Jim Ewing and Dwayne Berg. In a post-season election Berg was voted honorary captain while Ewing's worth was indicated by his being named via his teammates as most valuable. Ewing, consistently the top Purple offensive and defensive threat, was the only Beloiter to receive any rating in the Big Eight honor teams as he staked down one of the all-conference guard posts. The team was only able to reach the .500 mark in fourteen conference tilts. In non- conference play the Purple had only one defeat, the finale of the Dubuque-Beloit series, raising their regular season record to a satisfactory 10-8. Two streaks were ended this year. The first was a string of sixteen consecutive home court victories. The other was the Saints failure to reach the State Tournament after two straight appearances. The Beloiter's Madison trip was abruptly ended in their second game by a fine Monroe cage congregation. The Cheesemakers Went on to Madison and made an impressive showing. The Saints receiving major letter awards were Dwayne Berg, James Ewing, David Schneider, George Harrell, James Adams, Larry Pohlman, Terrell Nitzsche, and Donald Hardyman. PAGE 144 The Saints of Beloit started the 1954- 1955 season with a thriller of thrillers against Rockford East. Trailing the E- Rabs 46-40, jim Ewing found his form as he hit for six points in the closing moments. To climax the game he sank two free-throws after the final buzzer to give the hometowners a 48-46 triumph and himself individual honors with 15 markers. Hitting the road the Purple met Ra- cine Horlick who handed them their first defeat of the season, 73-56. A lack of experience was costly as Beloit's tall team committed numerous offensive and defensive errors. Beloit continued their streak of home court victories by beating their arch- rivals from janesville in an exciting 68-51 contest. Jim Ewing matched Janes- ville's Bob Kreul with 18 points to share top scoring honors. Beloit displayed a good amount of scrappiness as they continually killed rival rallies. A highly regarded South Milwaukee team met their match in the crew under Coach Roy Melvin. A couple of new BASKETBALL SUMMARY faces took eminence in this game as lit- tle Dave Schneider and big Dwayne Berg gave Beloit a long and short shot punch respectively. Berg sank 20 points as he established a career high and gained individual scoring honors. jim Ewing backed Berg with an important 15 more in the 64-47 tilt. The Saints then moved back into con- ference competition with Madison West and gained a 59-41 verdict for their sec- ond loop triumph. jim Ewing paced the Beloit offense with 17 points as well as being a steady influence on his team- mates. Beloit's control of the boards was shown by the fact that 9 of their 21 field goals were on rebound shots. Dwayne Berg and jim Adams had 14 points apiece as they supplemented the offensive punch. Returning to non-conference play Be- loit edged the Belvidere Buccaneers, 59- 58. Again Ewing captured the position of top pointmaker with 21 points to his credit as the Purple cagers made 19 of their 28 field goal attempts. In the final minute with Beloit nursing a one point l PAGE 145 BASK ETBAll SUMMARY lead jim Adams and the game's top scorer, Tony Asherns of Belvidere, com- mitted a double foul. Both made their pressure shots giving the Saints an- other verdict. The Beloit four game winning streak came to an abrupt halt on this December eve as johnny Orr's Dubuque Rams wal- loped the out-of-staters, 87-52. Their main attack came from Bob Hulburt and Gene Grunau who combined for 55 mark- ers, more than the entire Beloit squad. jim Ewing led the losers with a mere 11 points in the Hnal of two-year series which saw Dubuque victorious twice. Beloit's four game road trip was con- cluded with a 50-49 heartbreaker. Keno- sha was paced by the night's top scorer, Bob Hartman, a southpaw long artist. Behind Hartman's 14 came jim Adams and Dwayne Berg at 12 each. Beloit, who jumped to an early lead, had some closing shots, but they were all in and out, consequently our Big Eight record dropped to the .500 mark in four games. Led by big Dink Berg, Beloit gained the lead in the fourth quarter after a 'PAGE l4fi poor display prior to that point. The Madison East Purgolders nearly caught up, but the score ended at 50-49. jim Adams was the evening's number one scorer with 16 tallies as the Purple captured an undisputed claim to third place. Going neck and neck into the final three minutes with Racine Washington Park the Saints lost several offensive big guns including Dwayne Berg and jim Adams. Minus these men Coach Me1vin's charges slipped to a 65-57 de- feat. All-conference forward, Bob Har- rigan, had 18 for Park. Guards, jim Ewing and Dave Schneider had 12 points apiece for the losers. Sounding like the early 1900's Beloit beat Madison Central by a score of 17-8. Electing to freeze the game Central found the Saints willing to let them and consequently the only action much of the time was that of Dwayne Berg and Central's Tim Chasey moving around the pivot positions. The host team failed to make a single field-goal while Beloit's little senior guard, Dave Schneider, was high man with three for six points. The following week, league-leading Racine Horlick came to tangle with the local cagers. Beloit was protecting a string of 16 consecutive home court vic- tories as well as trying to keep dying title hopes alive with triumph number five. An early surge spearheaded by Dave Schneider and Jim Ewing prepared the 2,000 fans for a massacre that never took Dlace as the Rebels went on to defeat Beloit in a wild 63-60 contest. Before fouling out, Schneider collected 10 points while Ewing registered 15. A well-balanced Beloit team with good shooting, rebounding, and defense was too much for Madison Central as they suffered a thawed-out 62-37 setback. Coach Melvin used his reserves a large share of the time as Jim Ewing, in a limited appearance, was top Saint point- maker with 11. Janesville's Bluejays turned the tide as they avenged an earlier defeat to the Purple in a 62-52 game. Jim Ewing was the only Beloiter who was effective from the field as he led both teams with 18 BASKETBALL SUMMARY points. The next game Beloit lost also, a 65-55 decision to Madison West. The poor passing and shooting of the Fourth Street crew in this game provoked the city newspaper to term the Saints as ulackadaisical locals . Bob Brunette led West, whose long shot attack paid off handsomely, with 21 points while Be- loit's two Jims. Adams and Ewing, each managed to get 13. The Saints slapped back at frowning followers with an impressive 66-53 vic- tory over Racine Park. Beloit was prob- ably at its best as it hit for a 52 shoot- ing mark. One of the evening's most pleasant happenings was the arrival of George Harrell as a scoring punch. In addition to Harrell's 14 points, jim Ewing, playing the second half with four fouls, collected 18. Jim Adams was top man with 19 points and a Fine Hoor game. Sophomore jeff Cohen, big Kenosha center, hit for 25 points as he led his teammates to a 68-48 rout of the Beloit team. The efforts of jim Ewing pulled IXCPI-1 BASKETBALL SUMMARY the Purple close when he exploded in the third period and collected 8 of his 21 tallies. The general good game of the visitors, however, soon widened the gap in Beloit's home finale of the regular season. Beloit erased the Madison East first half lead and moved out ahead with a fine comeback in the last conference meeting for the cagers. Big George Har- rell controlled the boards well and made 11 of his 19 points during the second half surge. Jim Ewing, leading point- maker, hit 16 of his 25 during the same rally which led to a 62-47 victory. TOURNAMENT Beloit in the previous two seasons had traveled the long, hard road to Madison to completiong Lake Geneva was the first barrier in this year's journey. In this game big George Harrell teamed up with the Saint co-captains as he displayed a fine rebounding and rallied for 15. The other big guy, Dink Berg, showed PAGE 148 his early season form on the boards with Harrell and on the scorecard as he sank 13 points. All-conference guard, jim Ewing, showed the Resorters his deadly jump shot as well as the other qualities that earned the Big Eight honor rating as he registered 18 points, the evening's high. The final score was 68-40. The next barrier was the Monroe team under Lee Mitchell. They had won 18 of their 19 starts and had the second spot in state rankings. Beloit met them and was defeated by a score of 56-44. The Cheesemakers' superior height and shoot- ing ability humbled the Beloiters into submission. jim Ewing collected 12 points while Herb Ableman of Monroe hd 17. The evening's top scorer, Bob Anderegg, in garnering 21 points showed why he went on to establish State Tournament scoring records. Monroe justified its victory over the local stal- warts by continuing on the Madison road to the semi-finals where it took the state's number one rated team to defeat them by a mere two points. JUNIOR VARSITY J. Blair, E. Henry, J. Swannack, J. Reimer, D. Mackey, G. Bonier, D. Watson The Junior Varsity this year worked under the eye of Bernard Barkin. His job was to train the squad for their Varsity days of the future. The worth of this coaching be- came evident whenever Mr. Melvin sought the services of a J.V. man. In this role they serve as invaluable reserve material and gain experience needed for the following year when they will perform for the crowds as regulars. The team played eleven games and fell one short of the .500 mark. These games were usually played without spectators and served as learning exercises where the emphasis was not on winning. Composed chiefly of juniors, it also had seniors who didn't win a place with the Varsity regulars and sophomores whose performances merited them a promotion. Minor letters went this year to the following: Jack Reimer, Everett Henry, James Blair, Gerald Kennedy, Dale Watson, Walter Strong, Donald Lyons, Gustav Bonier and Jervis Swannack.

The team's standing was not as impressive as last year when they captured first place in the conference, however, they were successive in other ways. Performing prior to the varsity contests the sophomores gave early spectators many an exciting moment. Secondly they qualified several candidates for the J.V.'s and Varsity, this being one of the team's chief purposes. Two of these, Don Mackey and Everett Henry, were the main offensive attack of the little Saints , consequently the team was weakened by their departure. The following receiving numerals for their efforts in the 1954-1955 cage season: Terry Lee, Tom McCarthy, Wally Gobel, Paul Church, Don Mackey, Ron Storley, Jacob Payne, jim Anderson, and Charles Lamb.

This year saw our Varsity wrestling squad competing in a tough conference. As the season progressed Beloit had few bright spots until the sectional meet. Here the Purple qualified four men in the state tournament. These grapplers were: Adolph Williams, Rus- sell Johnson, William House, and George Hattiex. At the state level Johnson gained fourth and House third in their respective weight classifications. Receiving major letter awards this year for their work under Coach Ken Currier were: Jack Freeman, George Hattiex, William House, Russell Johnson, Hall Payne, James Wal- ker. and Adolph Williams.

Head track coach Paul Nee's longtime dream of a top-Bight cinder system for Beloit high became a reality this spring when the Purple dedicated the new track north of school with a victory over South Beloit on April 21. Coaches Nee and Ken Currier, who reverse their football status for track, were not greeted by too many candidates at the initial practices this spring due partially to the broad athletic program available and other interest. Forgetting this they commenced to melt the squad down to a crew of hard-working, conscientious thinlies. As the season progressed it became evident that the team wasn't a terrific winner, but they were a collection of thinclads Beloiters need not be ashamed of. The following is the road pursed by the 1955 cinder Saints after an initial meet with South Beloit was postponed.

This year Coach George Wittich had a young team that turned out in numbers. At the time this article was written, however, the squad had not been too impressive as far as victories. With the exception of a few matches only five golfers can be used. Usually appear- ing in these tilts will be a trio of sophomores and a brace of upper classmen fJim Ander- son, Ron Storley, Bill Unsworth, Jervis Swannack, and Alan Rubnitzj. Below is the schedule that the Saint turf-excavators will follow the year, not in- cluding practice matches with the college freshmen and junior high school golf teams.

The team only lost one man through graduation. Consequently, the Purple was well seasoned. Next year's outlook continues to be bright as many underclassmen have earned key net posts. Lorenzo Bucky Goodrich gained the number one singles berth. He was followed by a senior, Dave Palmer, and a brace of juniors, Jim Holloway and Allen Putterman. These same four netters also formed the two top Purple doubles teams. The netters have had trouble finding their place to this point. It is their hope, how- ever, that a combination of Provus tutelage and practice at the lagoon courts will stand them in good stead come the conference and sectional meets. The following is the schedule to be pursued by the Beloit netmen: 1. Belvidere at Beloit 6. Beloit 7. Beloit 8. Beloit . Beloit 2. Rockford East at Beloit 3.

Leading this year's version of the Saints in the lumber department are shortfielder jack Freeman and outfielder Larry Pohlman. Freeman also is a student in defense as is Hyhawk Stan Bolen.

Baseball has only been in Beloit high three years. The sport in this time has received such success that it now has a junior varsity squad. This team is like any other j.V., it trains its members for Varsity play the next season. The team was composed in 1955 of four juniors and a number of sophomores. Pacing this season's team with their stickwork and fielding agility are Tommy Kallen, Don Mackey, and backstop Billy Hills. After an initial defeat the Purple j.V.'s commenced to murder their opposition.

This is the time of the year when we can put the covers on our typewriters, throw away our pencil stubs and tighten the caps of the glue pots. Our job is done-the book has been completed. September found us in the planning and organizing stage. This year, by chance, we found a theme that tickled our fancy and was fun to work with. Heading our hard working crew were Mary Ann Wright, jerry Fisher and Mary Wong. Sometimes the going was rough-but always we found compensation. jerry left our ranks in April leaving us capable Jim Wescott to become a loyal and ambitious sports editor. Bruce Fowler and Barbara Bunnell took over the senior section and did a magnificent job. Alone, jackie Burnham edited the faculty section solving every problem that confronted her. Bette Willever executed the job of sophomore editor with thoroughness and dispatch. Sandy Burnham and Donna Rae Chayer saw to it that the junior section found its way into our book-no small task. Rolf Mjaanes proved himself a capable and conscientous music editor. For the second year Bob Petrof efficiently acted the role of ROTC editor and in addition joined forces with Roy Ramsing and Ron Borgwardt to take the many Hne pictures found in the book. Bob and Roy have been Beloiter photographers for three years. We are going to miss their splendid service and loyalty when September, 1955, is top page on the calendar. And Alice Porter-Alice was really our gal Friday. She took charge of the Senior Index-and did so much more, she typed, she checked, she posted, she ran errands. Wherever and whenever Alice could, she helped out. PAGE 173 THE BELOITER STORY 5 V , , ff- Top Qleft to rlghtj Nancy O Brlen, Bob Petrof, Roy Ramsing, Bruce Fowler, Alice Porter, Rolf Mjaanes.

To Kathy Hauger we owe deep thanks for what we consider to be a very attractive cover. At first we thought our cover would be in black and white, but at Mrs. Dawes' sugges- tion we asked our binders for a sample in avocado green and gold. Upon seeing the sample produced, opinion among us was unanimous and imme- diate that this was it. Under the guidance of Mrs. Dawes, the art staff designed our division pages. It seemed like we were in business. All did not go smoothly, however. Jerry left us for the classrooms of Northwestern. This was too much for Mary Wright's appendix, and it went on strike. They hadn't done much work but they kept Mary from our ranks for two weeks during a crucial period. Mary came back and we had just nicely pressed her nose to the grind- stone when tragedy struck again. jim Wescott-just to prove he's a kid at heart signed a contract with something called chickenpox-which kept him from school for 8 critical days. We had an assortment of general troubles. Pictures and copy had a way of misplacing themselves. The Weather didn't always cooperate when we wanted pictures with an outdoor background. We worried and chewed our fingernails-but kept smiling and won out. We have lived with our book for a long time and have baptized it with sweat and tears. We hope you like it.
