meal, except that it was rather hazardous at times-almost more totter than teeterf' Mr. Nelson was demonstrating methods of doing basic lab functions. After a comprehensive lecture on how to insert a piece of glass tubing into a rubber stopper without breaking the glass, he proceeded to show us and promptly broke the glass tube. 'I just wanted to see if you were awake,' he said with a sheepish grin. In chemistry two girls found out fthe hard wayj that they shouldn't turn on their gas jets when the Bun- sen burner wasn't connected. Mrs. Ellis wishes her juniors would 'settle down' when the bell rings and that SOMEDAY they'll learn to follow directions. SOMEDAY Mrs. Thomas is going to tell her history class how she voted. Discussing Marquette and Joliet, Mr. Carlson, com- mented that the famed explorers had been near Rochelle. One boy said, 'Where? On Kyte Creek P' 'No,' said Mrs. Carlson, 'on one of its tributaries'. Out in the driver training car one day I was buzzing along about 35 MPH and didn't notice a stop sign. Al Gorski and Roger Supler are testing the power distribution panel in Electricity II. In Mr. Nelson's first period chemistry class Bernard Ackland and Dick Argetsinger are preparing bromine gas beneath the hood. Bro- mine gas is poisonous.

What Made foo- 'ol Diferenf? Kings, Hara Pram, fudy We begin to earn a certain amount of respect from underclassmen, teachers, even parents. They can see we are becoming more mature. It's a terrific feeling and a terrific responsibility to know that someone is looking up to you and maybe following your example. Receiving class rings. They're the greatest. Selling mums and introducing the boutonniere. We sold a record number this year. Being able to take the N.Y.-Washing- ton, D.C., trip. The prom. All these things make this year distinct from all others. . . . Juniors could drive. Instead of walking every- where, we always managed to find a friend with a CHI. And this year at the basketball games We can see both baskets at once. Before we were always sitting too high on the bleachers. What kind of a year was it? Hot at first, rooms filled with the sun's glare. Noisy, until one-way corridors were completed, shades were installed, and the election was over. Some remember the first snowflakes on October 19, and try to forget all the other ones that followed. Some remember other things. On the GAA hike, we paused at an unoccupied schoolhouse to eat our lunch. Two friends and I bal- anced on the teeter-totter as we ate. We had a pretty good l In Mr. Carlson's second period history class juniors Kathy Nefstead and Judy Beach are examining an ancient map of the United Stateshwhich was printed in 1846. Kathy Weatherbee shows pictures of Pearl Har- bor to Mrs. Ellis' 4th period English class.

'Hey, did you see that? The car stopped and I never touched the brake,' I said without thinking. It never dawned on me that Mr. Hall had a brake on his side too. Afterwards I felt like an idiot. In industrial arts we learn that a nail flike a personj has a head on it to keep it from getting too deeply in- volved. One day a boy was putting a table together and he was trying to pull a nail out of the wood. Everything was fine until the nail lost its head and the boy acciden- tally got hit on his head with the hammer. A standing joke in English is the Pshaw-Fudge incident. Mr. Edwards used 'Pshaw' as an interjection, but one girl didn't know what it meant. She still didn't, even after the teacher had added 'Fudgel' and 'Nutsl' as examples. She read it as the brand name for some new kind of candy 'Pshaw Fudge with Nuts'. What kind of a year was it? A year like any other . year, filled with momentous events that passed in the light of a friendly smile or hung on the precipice of a frown. People make history. What kind of people made up your class, the juniors who occupied Rochelle Town- Dorene Ankney, Sandy Brautigam, and Penny Clucas are using the tape recorder in Mr. Stumphy's fourth hour French II class to see if their pronunciation is correct. I These juniors are concentrating their efforts on a test in Mr. Ervvin's eighth hour Algebra II class.
