The class officers elected for this year were as follows: Delyla Rice, president, Wilbur Briscoe, vice president, Dale St. Iohn, secretary, and Ervin Smith, treasurer. The highlight of this year was their initiation by the sophomores, an event which was a big success. In their sophomore year the class was reduced to 64 members. The high spot of this year was their initiation of the freshmen. The class officers for this year were Ervin Smith, president, Ieanette Allen, vice president, Dale St. Iohn, secretary, and Ioe Natale, treasurer. ln the junior year of 1939-1940 the class had dwindled down to 47, approxi- mately half of the original number. The main event of the year was the junior- senior prom. Much credit in the drive for sufficient funds was given Vito Saladino, the financial manager, who had charge of the sale of pop, candy, and tickets for the various events. The king of the Prom was Ervin Smith, who with Delyla Rice as his queen, led the grand march the night of the Prom. The class officers for the year were Ervin Smith, president, Wilbur Briscoe, vice president, Delyla Rice, secretary, and Mae Osmond, treasurer. We were now all looking forward to our senior year. The senior year came in a hurry and brought 39 members with it, less than half of the big class of 86 that started four years ago. The highlight of the senior year, of course, was commencement. The exercises were held May 29 with 38 members of the class participating. Delyla Rice was our valedictorian and Mae Osmond our salutatorian. Those in charge of the class this year were Ervin Smith, president, Mae Osmond, vice president, Delyla Rice, secretary, and Lorraine Letheby, treasurer. We of the class of 1942 wish to say good luck to all the future classes in the school. T65 i .... ,Qi Km' - ,Q A Y flTI l fl. Q. Y if fourteen ,. 11 . PROPHECY 'Way back in 1942 the Seniors sacredly pledged that they would return to their Alma Mater, South Beloit High School, where they spent four years diligently seeking a higher education so that they might appreciate the finer things oi life. The memorable day, May 29, 1962, has arrivedy and now the Seniors of 1942 are grouped around a massive mahogany table in the million dollar structure of South Beloit High School, discussing the highlights ot their lives. At the head of the table sits VITO SALADINO, a very distinguished, elegantly dressed gentleman showing poise and confidence. He is president of the Ramona Spaghetti Company. The position was acquired because of his ability as a salesman. Seated at his right is MISS VIRGINIA KING, the celebrated soprano of the Metropolitan Opera. 'Way down at the other end of the table we see the head football coach of the University of Illinois. It's none other than CHARLES MORSE, who gained a great deal of his skill while at good old South Beloit High School. ls that his wife sitting next to him? Why, it's LORANE McGHEE, that reckless, singing, shooting, lariat-throwing western actress. It has just been announced that ART PALMER, famous photographer for the New York Times, will be unable to attend our reunion because of third degree burns received when he fell from the burn- ing Woolworth Building in New York. We are all wishing you a speedy recovery, Art. Who is this handsome cowboy strolling in late? Well, well, if it isn't DONALD BROWN, formerly known to his friends as Elly. Elly has settled down on a little ranch in Montana with his bride, HANNA SCHNURR, and is reported to be doing well. Perhaps Donald and Hanna will sing a few of those old-time cowboy ballads for us a little later! MARIORIE WACASER, Miss America of 1950, is here also tonight. She has just returned from Billy Rose's Water Carnival in California, where she has been appearing nightly. Professor CONRAD BRAUSAM was permitted to leave the campus of the University of Illinois, where he is a noted instructor in the art of jujitsu, to attend this gathering. STANLEY BLATTER, famous agriculture inspec- tor, is present and has just given a talk on some of his latest farming improvements. Word has just been received that MISS ROSE GIOFLIONIA, Parisan model, will be unable to at- tend our reunion because of complications in Paris. Now here's a surprise for you. When WILBUR BRISCOE left South Beloit fully intending to work on a iarm, little did he realize that that little catchy something in the manipulation of his right hip would some day rate him a feature attraction at the Hollywood Stork Club. Hippy Briscoe has surpassed even Fred Astaire in the eyes of the public. One of our graduates who planned to be an old maid is DELYLA RICE. However, her plans were disrupted: and she married ERVIN SMITH, also a graduate of '42. Rumor has it that she has been having some trouble with her husband lately since several of his friends told him that he sounded like Bing Crosby. Well do I recall that when ORRIN CHRISTIAN- SON was handed his diploma he tossed his hat into the air and shouted, U. S. Air Corps-Here I Come! Orrin received his training at Fishhook, the largest aviation field in the world. He was also awarded high honors for bombing 'the greatest number ol field mice on the ranch ol WILLIAM CAPLES. Orrin now owns his own plane and spends his time dodging the skyscrapers in South Beloit. All during his high school career, EVERETT BUGGE impatiently awaited the day when he might- Go west, young man, go west. Imme- diately after graduation he began his journey to California, leaving a trail of broken hearts behind him. With money obtained through selling to the public the merits of the Kinky permanent wave, he purchased a new variety of orange called the Speck-Hart Delicious. Graduating from South Beloit High School, IOE NATALE entered the field of politics. After much ballyhoo and mud-slinging, he landed in Congress as South Be1oit's delegate to aid in its government. After a few weeks ot filibustering, he pushed through a bill limiting the height of women's hats. He is now chairman of the Ways and Means committee to rid the capital of mice and is frequently seen chasing through the halls with a butterfly net. Next we see that reckless daredevil driver, SIR IOSEPH LOOMIS, who broke the speed record on Bonneville Salt Flats with a speed of 500 miles per hour, although he was handicapped by a seri- ous injury to his eye, sustained while playing professional basketball. Sitting beside Ioe is DOLLY MCHONE, who is the wife of the present day world's tallest man, DONALD LARSON, and is traveling in the world's greatest side show. fifleerz PROPHECY-fContinuedl On the other side of the table sits BESSIE DIGIROLOMO, who is the great inventor of the autophone, which enables the deaf to hear. Bessie has amassed a great fortune because of this in- vention. Soon after graduation, CLAUDIA BROWN, be- cause of her musical ambitions, went to Chicago as a manager of Guy Lombardo's orchestra. As a result of the broken health of this noted leader, Claudia was chosen to assume his position. So now after twenty years, Claudia is a nationally famous leader of a really good swing orchestra, playing at the Trianon. After three years of nurse's training in Rock- ford, RUTH PECKHAM related that she served in- ternship in a big hospital in Chicago, putting her whole heart and energy into her work. The last two years she spent in surgical work assisting a young doctor to whom she became engaged. Now Ruth and the doctor are happily married, living in a newly constructed bungalow with a year-old son to brighten their home. The lives of GLEN CLARK and PAUL PRATT have been filled with adventures of the sea. They joined the navy two years after graduation. While stationed with the U. S. S. Van Beer at Pearl Har- bor, Hawaii, they met their O. A. O. fOne and Onlyl on the beach at Waikiki. After a double wedding ceremony performed in Hawaii on the evening of February 10, the boys and their beau- tiful wives spent their honeymoon in the United States and consented to make their appearance at the reunion. We regret to announce that one of our out- standing students, LORRAINE LETHEBY, has passed into the Valley Beyond. Her closest friends say she died of a broken heart while waiting for a certain sailor. A flourishing beauty parlor is operated by FERN PETITT although she is happily married to HAROLD PARTRIDGE, the coach who led South Beloit to the Winnebago County Championship. Two years ago Fern became nationally famous by her specialization in coiffeurs, one of which is used by the First Lady of the land. One charming classmate, DORCAS PINTER, lives in Springfield with her husband, HARRY WORTHING, who, following in his grandfather's footsteps, is a distinguished member of the House as of Tall Stories. Dorcas is very proud of her two children, who are known for their graceful tap dancing. DALE ST. IOHN has just returned from a three months' tour in Europe and told several interesting adventures of skiing in the mountains of Switzer- land. The previous year Dale received his M. A. degree from William and Mary College. He ex- pects to teach in the high school at Williamsburg, Virginia, this coming year. While he was at Nor- mal, he became especially interested in a girl from Pittsburgh and eventually . . . With all the commercial training in high school, in addition to business training at Brown's Business College, MAE OSMOND received a position in the office of Armour's Packing House at Chicago. A few years later she met a charming young man, and soon her working days were over. DON YOUNGWITH, after training at Parks' Air College, has been steadily promoted and now is the chief testing pilot at the Stinson Airplane Factory. Last September he broke all airplane speed records with a speed of 703.59 miles per hour. He says he is as uninterested in women as he was when he was in high school. We wonder? 'After supervising a hatchery in Skunkhollow for four years, MORRIS MCLAIN started a chain of hatcheries with his main office at DeKalb. In 1948 he married a charming senior of DeKalb College. During the fall he acts as an agent for the DeKalb Hybrid Seed Company. Matrimony lured our modest classmate, HAZEL MCLAIN. The lucky man, ART ATKINSON, is an employee of the Amboy Milk Factory. They have a daughter in the first grade, 4-year-old twin boys, and an 18-month-old baby girl. Hazel is the presi- dent of the Amboy Cooking Club. We are much honored by the presence of the famous personage, LEE HARDY, who has taken Clark Gable's place as Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind.' Playing opposite him as Scarlett O'Hara is MISS IOSEPHINE GIACALONE. After the more prominent members had given some lengthy speeches on their activities, HARRY WORTHING, in a very meek little voice, suggested that the reunion be made an annual affair. Every- one readily agreed and departed for their re- spective places of business. x v .fixleezz SENIQR PERSONALITIES Seated Cleft to right? --C Brown, I. Loomis, V. King, W. Briscoe, B.

We, the Senior Class, give and bequeath to the Freshmen our intelligence, co-operation, initiative, and dignity. To the Sophomore Class we will our great variety of talent and our broad knowledge. To the instructors of South Beloit High who have tried so hard to educate us, we give and bequeath our class manners and etiquette. To the Iuniors we will the following: Art Atkinson wills his love for an argument to Larry Clarity, who will probably make good use of it. Conrad Brausam and Ioe Natale will their booming voices to Carl Briscoe and Audrey Speck. Wilbur Briscoe wills his clarinet to Iohn Bennington. William Caples wills his half-pint stature to Stewart Earl. Iosephine Giacalone wills her wee voice to Clinta Harris. Virginia King wills her love for dancing to Willabelle Youngwith.

Lorane McGhee wills her Southern accent to Dawnine Marsden who can use it for cheer- leading. Everett Bugge wills his blonde hair to Louise Turman. Donald Larson wills his height to Doris Iames so she will be a little more Stewart Earl's size. Donald Brown wills his guitar to Bill Stick- ler so he can serenade Audrey Speck. Lee Roy Hardy wills his clothes to Iohn Evans. Now Iohn can go into the business. Bessie Digirolomo wills her good looks to Oscar Anderson. Lorraine Letheby wills her walk home to Art Kastner. Orrin Christianson wills his car to Robert Freeman so he can drive to school next year rather than ride his bike. Charles Morse wills some of his weight to Dick Stinson. Ioseph Loomis wills his car to Irene Millay so her soldier friend can drive instead of walk. Ruth Peckham wills her attraction for the opposite sex to Annie Sciacca and Betty Stickler. Marjorie Wacaser wills her slimness to Mary Lombardo. Harry Worthing wills his large vocabulary to George Brausam and Clyde Petitt. There should be plenty tor both: but if there isn't Harry will provide some more. Paul Pratt, the answer to a maiden's prayer, wills his filling station job to Ianet Motiitt and Willetta Palmer. Dorcas Pinter wills her excess weight to Shirley Chambers and Mary Virginia Edgerton. Dolly McHone wills her desire to go to Texas to Ruth Anderson. Mae Osmond wills her job as Reflector editor to Marlene Bichsel and Margaret Boscki. Now they can spend half their class hours look- ing ior news as Mae had to do.

After being thoroughly inspected and examined by the members of the faculty, they were allowed to register as freshmen. At their first meeting they elected their class officers. They have had one hiking party. Miss Norcross and Mr, I-Ioadley are their class sponsors. lzueuly-four Se Flrst Row ttwfft to rrfghtb -H Goretaaorr, R Kemp, L Proorzrrrn, I Ltifmrtorm, 1.

This year the classes had the following enrollments. Typing I . 48 Typing ll ,,,,,Y ,,,, . 21 In Typing l, the students learn the typing work essential to personal use and accomplish a reasonable rate of speed with as high a de- gree of accuracy as possible. Typing ll is a class of students who wish to become more proficient at the typewriter. Some of them maintain excellent speeds with a good degree of accuracy. Only one year of shorthand is taught. This year two boys enrolled in the course. The Gregg Shorthand ... . 22 Bookkeeping .. 36 system is taught. The dictation speeds range from 80 to l2U Words a minute at the close of the first year. Booking is a nightmare and a lot of hard work, as stated by some diligent bookkeeper in this year's class. True, it is a big task to learn to keep your books in balance. The year's work is summarized by working a practice set during the last six weeks.

The foods class is going strong. This class studies the prepara- tion of foods and how to serve them. They prepare their menus, do their own marketing, and serve complete meals. The days the girls look forward to are the three days a week when they cook be- cause they may eat what they have prepared. Another class held in the same room is sew' ing. Here the girls are learning to fashion new garments and make over old ones of which they have tired. As another hour rolls around and we glance into this room, we find the home management girls designing, furnishing, and managing their dream homes. Other units in the years course include home nursing, foods, clothing, and in fact, every- thing that pertains to home and community life. fzztellfy-eight l INDUSTRIAL ARTS At the beginning of the year, twelve weeks were :spent on mechanical drawing, which con- sisted of Orthographic projection and lsometric drawing. The rest of the year has been devoted to woodwork in its various forms. The boys have completed many different projects: they have made a basketball scoreboard, a timekeeper's table, racks for the books in the assembly, a cupboard, a boat, and many other small articles and also have rcfinished the benches in the shop, the tables in the study hall, and the desks in several of the rooms. The last twelve weeks have been devoted to making scale model airplanes. Each boy in the shop has a certain duty to perform each day. A tool check system has been installed whereby each boy has to check his tools out of the tool room. He is expected to know the names of all the tools in the shop, of what each is made, and also their use and care. He is also expected to know the common types of joints and how to apply the common finishes. I lzveally-zzizze pw fi EW? ACTIVITIES Sf? CLUBS wif MUSIC Sf?

It is expected that each pupil will follow one of the above lines and not present an unconnected group of subjects lor graduation. Required- English I General Science English II English III English IV United States History FIRST YEAR Elective- Business Training Practical Mathematics Clothing Manual Training I Latin I SECOND YEAR World History Biology Algebra I Manual Training Latin II Foods THIRD YEAR Bookkeeping Stenography I Plane Geometry Typing I FOURTH YEAR Typing II Physics Stenography II Advanced Civics Economics Home Course II ACCREDITED RELATIONS South Beloit Community High School is fully accredited with the University ot Illinois and is recognized as a tour-year high school by the State Department of Education. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Every candidate for graduation from high school is required to present four units in English, one unit in General Science, and one unit in United States History. Sixteen units are required for graduation. In addition to the above, there are individual requirements for entrance to certain lines ot study in colleges and universities. The student should plan his work so that these requirements may be met by the time of graduation. Students should inquire of the Principal concerning these requirements and for help in their ful- Iillment. MUSIC Muic is offered to those students who attend the regular weekly rehearsals and show an interest in music. Both boys and girls may join a separate glee club as well as sing in the mixed chorus. ABSENCES Absence blanks properly filled out and signed by a parent or guardian should be given to the Principal immediately upon the student's return to school. It the absence is excusable, the student is given a permit to re-enter class and to make up his work. If the absence is not excusable the pupil is given a permit to re-enter class designating his ab- sence as inexcusable, no privilege to make up his work, and in such cases a certain per cent is deducted from the absentee's grade. Until an excuse blank is returned by the absentee, his absence is reported as inexcus- able, with a certain percentage deducted from his gradeg therefore, it is important that the parents and pupils alike realize that care and promptness be exercised in returning these excuse blanks immediately when the pupil comes back to school. thirty-five ORCHESTRA Seated Klett to rightleD.

The orchestra, which has played for basketball games, has been under the direction of Mr. Chenette, a highly-talented clarinet player. Rehearsals have been held twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The two glee clubs, composed of thirty girls and sixteen boys, have held weekly rehearsals under the able direction of Miss Irene Dettinger and have performed creditably on several occasions. They made their first public ap- pearance at a school assembly at Christmas time and during the holiday season held a caroling party, at which time they visited eight homes and were duly rewarded with gifts ot money and candy. On March 24th, the combined clubs presented a fifteen-minute radio pro- gram over station WCLO in Ianesville, an event which was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the year. On April 17th, they presented their second annual spring concert, which was a great success. Students who have assisted Miss Dettinger with her glee club work are Pearl Behling, Dawnine Marsden, George Rippie, Ervin Smith, and Delyla Rice, accompanist. Iack Doubleday, one of the clubs valuable members, is now a member ot the army air corps. Membership dues are twenty-live cents a year. flvirly-.fix GIRLS' GLEE CLUB First How Cleft to rightj-S.

Hoping for a quiet time, he accepts and for a time tries to carry out the decep- tion. Then Fred Smithie, the husband, decides to liven up the party by hav- ing Harold make love to the various members of the household. All goes Well until Harold actually falls for Barbara Hanson. The activities are helped along by Mrs. George Wonder and her social tail-light of a husband, who never gets a chance to get in a single word as long as she is there to say it for hirn. From this point on things are in a merry mixup, and even the cuckoo clock on the Wall enters into the spirit of the occasion and speaks for itself, flairly-:lille .-.-1 ,Nw-1.---ffmi M A .

The Redmen were some- what handicapped by inexperience, lack of strong reserves, and injuries. Spe- cial laurels go to Clyde Petitt who broke his ankle during the season and was unable to play. His injury kept him from showing his ability, but great things are expected of him next year. Other players who will probably make good next year and who will take the place of the graduating seniors are Elmer Spiech, Edward Pinter, Art Kast- ner, William Guetschow, Don Petitt, and Dick Stinson. The team played six games during the season, and toward the end, the mighty eleven showed definite signs of improvement. forly-fain' S CLUB First Row Cleft to rightl-B. Stickler, E. Wiley, B.

IOSEPH LOOMIS Ioe is a hard player and a very good rebounder. He never quits. South Beloit, 45, Rockton, 29 ftherel Continuing our rivalry with Rockton, South Beloit trampled over the Rockton five. Starting out with a bang, the first half South Beloit led Rockton 28 to l2 and coasted to an easy victory. Scoring honors of the evening were scattered among our guard, loe Loomis, our forward, Dick Stinson, and our captain, Harold Partridge, who netted ten points each. 1 I . GEORGE BRAUSAM Although George is short, he is a good shot and a very good ball handler. Harlem, 52, South Beloit, 46 fherel An inspired Harlem five, who had previously been drubbed by our Red and Whites in the Pee Tournament, 51 to 37, squared off by a victory over the Hoadley- men in an offensive battle despite a phenomenal exhibition by cen- ter, Partridge, who netted twenty points. Winnebago, 42, South Beloit, 31 ftherel Unaccustomed to the small fcracker boxl gym and the new fan-shaped basketball backboard and a tall, aggressive team, South Beloit was defeated, The scoring honors for the evening went to our junior guard, Bill Stickler, who netted thirteen points through the hoop. DICK STINSON Dick is a tall shifty player and a dangerous shot anywhere on the floor, He does well on de- fense also. f arf y-Je 11611 South Beloit, 35, Marengo, 30 ftherel Breaking into the first North Six Conference win, South Beloit turned back a fighting Marengo five in a closely contested battle. At no time during the game were the two conference contenders separated by more than a few points. The man that kept the team in the running was our junior forward, Dick Stinson, who registered fourteen points. BILL STRICKLER Bill is a fast guard who shoots medium shots well and does a good guarding job. South Beloit, 315 Harvard, 42 fherel Endeavoring to gain ground in the North Six race at the expense of a highly rated Harvard quin' tet, South Beloit provided stiff opposition but came out on the short end of a 42 to 31 score. Stinson set up the scoring with eleven tallies while Stickler and Brausam bagged eight each. Marengo, 31, South Beloit, 30 In a see-saw battle in which only one point separated the two teams, Marengo finally nosed out our fighting Redmen by a margin of one point. In- efficiency at the free throw line caused the defeat as our boys missed 9 of the 13 free tosses. Stickler, Partridge, and Stinson shared scoring honors with 13 8, and 5, respectively. KENNETH KAMENS Kenneth, although only a fresh- man, saw a great deal of service at the center position and should be of great help to the team next year. IOHN EVANS lohn is coming along very well. He is fast and a very good feeder to his teammates. Harlem, 561 South Beloit, 58 Ctherel In a strictly offensive battle the l-loadleyites coming from be- hind, defeated the title contend- ers in a see-saw battle in which 114 points were scored. Partridge led the scoring with 15 points followed closely by Stinson with 14 points. Rockton, 245 South Beloit, 54 fherel Coach I-loadley's cagers crushed Rockton beneath an avalanche of points to score the second vic- tory over Rockton. The Redmen led all the way by a large mar- gin due to the basket sniping of Winnebago, 35, South Beloit, 34 fherej In the last conference game the fighting South Beloit bas- keteers lost a thrilling battle to Winnebago after leading all the way through the first three quar- ters. The last minute spurt of the Winnebago five was just enough to nose out South Be- loit's victory. Stinson was high point man with the rest of the team pitching all the way. DEWEY LETHEBY Dewey was not out at the first of the year, but with his rebound- ing height and strength, he should show up well next year. Loomis, Stinson, and Stickler. Opening their season by defeating a strong alumni team, the Redmen collected during the year a total of 1,117 points, or an average of 37.5 per game, to their opponents' 1,002 points. Our fight- ing five won 16 out of the 30 games played. The Redmen placed second in the Pecatonica invitational tournament, third in Harlem tourna- ment, and second in the Monroe Center district tournament. They lost to Harlem, 39 to 32, in the first game of the Belvidere regional tournament. In the North Sixth Conference, the Redmen placed fourth, winning 4 out of 10 games. Although the Redmen did not come through with flying colors, many of our games were lost by very close margins. Six veteran players were active this year- l-larold Partridge and joseph Loomis, seniors, and Dick Stinson, Bill Stickler, George Brausam, and Iohn Evans, juniors.
