STANDING, L. ro R,-james Marringilio, Frank Van Landeghem, Dallas Busey, John Althoff, Principalg Howard ADMINISTR TIO I am glad to extend to the Class of 1954 my best wishes for your success and happiness in the coming years. After greeting many graduating classes, I have arrived at the conclusion that high school seniors need more than good luck and best wishes. You need a certain poise, an array of helpful habits and a good philosophy of life, all of which should have been developed by years of conscientious study combined with wholesome, directed recreation. Let me welcome you into the alumni ranks of the South Beloit High School. You are fortunate to be included in this ever-increasing group of individuals who see, think and do. Milner.

It is September 7, 1950, and seventy-nine new performers are making their first appearance in The Greatest Show on Earth. Every one of us is nervous with the thought of this new job. Our show is run under the efficient management of COACH WILLIAM GILKEY. Our Ring- master 1 Presidentj, RUSSELL JAMES, blows his whistle and presents his assistant CVice-President D , LARRY PRESTRIDGE. He, in turn, reminds you not to forget our co-workers, LOUIS SEVERSON, Show Secretary, and JEANNINE BUFFA, who handles our finances. Our first performance was very suc- cessful with our first dance in the center ring. Our second performance started with a change of officials. This time our managers were COACH WILLIAM GILKEY and MR. HESSENBERGER. Our Ringmaster was RUSSELL JAMES, Assistant, MARY BRIDGE, Show Secretary, JOYCE FIELD, Treasurer, KAREN PATRICK. Again, as in our last performance, our dance took t-he center ring, each'performance seeming to get better. We progressed to our third performance, confident and ambitious, determined to make this show an even greater success, under the management of MRS. FORREST BECK and MISS JULIA VI NOR- CROSS. This show was put on the road through Ringmaster, RUSSELL JAMES, Assistant, ALFRED NOVACHEK, Show Secretary, JOYCE FIELD, and Treasurer, KAREN PATRICK. Big shows took the center ring this year. Among them was a dance with beautiful gay costumes. We held a banquet at the Wagon Wheel for the retired performers. The cymbals clang! Our fourth and final Performance is under way. This show is even a greater success than any other. Our managers are MISS JULIA VI NORCROSS and MR. ED HARPER. The Ringmaster is EDWARD MARTIN, Assistant, ALFRED NOVACHEK, Show Secretary, BONNIE VAN FLEET, Treasurer, DOROTHY NICHOLSON. Being our last year, the new performers gave our Senior troupe a wonderful prom and banquet. We closed our show with a vacation at beautiful Lutzen Resort in Minnesota, ever remembering our four years under the Big Top. C ASS PROPIIECY The year-1964, the purpose of writing this-well, I am going to give an account of my travels. You see, I, MARY BRIDGE, am going to India to do some research work for Gardner's Machine Company. Gardner's has prospered greatly with GERALD FISCHER as president and EDWARD MARTIN, his assistant, advising him on many business matters. The idea to go on this research work was one of MARGIE MILNER'S. She thought that India could use some of Gardner's brilliant work. In about ten minutes I have to meet BONNIE VAN FLEET in front of her home. She is assistant superin- tendent at the plant and will accompany me on my trip. We are taking a super, jet-propelled taxi to the airport. It is one that the cab driver, NILES HOYT, designed himself. He figures that time is one thing in this life that shouldn't be wasted. We picked up Bonnie and it was a hot, old ride to the airport. If the plane is much worse than this I might see the pearly gates sooner than I expect. We got to the plane right on time, got our tickets from the ticket seller CAROL SCHULTZ, and were ushered aboard. I'll never forget that usher, he was so politeg I believe his name was LEONARD PORTER. The whole trip ran very smooth- ly. The pilot, Louis SEVERSON, handled the plane marvelously and our three stewardesses were very kind and helpful. They were BARBARA REEDY, JENNIE SCI- ACCA, and GINGER PORTER. As I recall they went to the same high school together. ,gb 4 ea 0 5 O it We landed in New York and we had a twelve hour stopover between planes. We decided to look around the big city for a while. We went into several department stores but the only people we saw that we knew were MARY LOU SIMPSON modeling pajamas and MARY WHITLOCK trying to sell them. Finally our feet gave out and we decided to see a movie. To our surprise we saw RUSSELL JAMES co-starring with JEANNIE BUFFA and PATSY LAMB in Ir's T00 Good to Be True. Pat was beau- fiful and shy: Jeannie WHS WiCkCd and alluring. Poor Russell fell in both traps. The show was very good and on our way out we bought popcorn from a guy named RONALD WOOD at the Refreshment Stand. At the last minute we decided to take a boat to India and not wait for the rest of the time to go by. It was a big luxury liner designed by a famous draftsman, GERALD WILSON. We got on the ship and were starved so we had supper. The meals on the whole journey were delicious so we decided to go and see the chef and tell him how good his food was. To our surprise ROBERT BOLTON was the chef. We saw a stage show in which ALFRED NOVACHEK was a comedian with two girls by the names of PHYLLIS SCHULTZ and DOROTHY NICHOLSON as his two stooges. By then we were bushed and decided to turn in for the night. When we got to our cabin the stew- ardess was turning down our beds and when she turned around we nearly fell through the floor. It was BETTE WAGNER. We talked for a while and then went to bed. Early the next morning we went on a guided tour around the ship. Our guides were JANICE PEARSON and FRANK CURATOLO. They led a very interesting tour and Frank had to save one of the passengers, JOYCE FIELD, from falling over board. After the tour all the passengers lined up on board and the captain, EDMUND ENGEBRETSON gave a speech and wished everyone a happy and comfortable voyage. HAROLD FOSNOW the co-captain wished the same, then everyone went for a good breakfast with some more of Robert's cooking. After a sunny morning on deck we decided to go swimming and who should we meet but KAREN PATRICK and DAVID MATTHEWS. They are now a dancing team and are on their way to Paris for their debut. We talked for a while and David mentioned that the two lifeguards seemed familiar but he just couldn't place them. I looked up and sure enough there were RONALD GUAGINTE and LOIS LAWVER sitting in their guard seats. Well, we finally got to India and on the dock we met more representatives from Gardner's. They were just about frantic. Their names were CAROLE KNIPPRATH and LU ANNE JOHNSON. They said that the Indian government had forbid us to do any work there and we had to get out of the coun- try by sundown. I don't know what happened, I guess they just don't appreciate smart people in their country. ,ff 1. EEEA gi 7- 59:2 .-:QQ tv sf . .I J , ' in iamx la QAEZQ S A-f f X 3 X X .,. z 5 N ,S z OX.
