Rochelle Township High School Cited for Meeting the Needs of the Community In an article entitled Invest in Youth With Better Schools, published in the August 1946 issue of the Illinois Agricultural Association Record, con- siderable credit was given Rochelle for its varied school program. Following is a quotation from this article. Perhaps nowhere along that lengthy road QU. S. Highway Slj is there a high school which more nearly meets the needs of a community and the standards of educators than the Rochelle Town- ship High School ..... The author, Jim Thompson, with the aid of student interviews and numerous photographs of students at work, demonstrates how Rochelle has developed its agricultural, commercial, shop and home economics programs to meet the problems of everyday living. He gave high praise to the well- equipped departments and the practical problems given by the instructors. His student interviews also emphasized the value of the work realized by the student. W'hat better proof than this is needed to develop our theme, Our School-Key fo our Fufnrr?

Page Fourteen Yum, yum, save me a piece of that pie, Milf! Who is it that literally holds the keys to our school? John and Bud, of course. They are always ready to open a locker, locate a lost book, or help us in some other way. They make our building a more pleasant place in which to work .... Besides delicious meals at lunch time, Mrs. Eckhardt and Miss Peterson provide for the many hungry students after school .... Regardless of the weather the bus drivers are always on the job, bringing students to school and taking them home again. Without the bus drivers, we would miss many exciting out-of- town football and basketball games. W'e all join in saying Thanks to them for their services throughout the year.
