'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.

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.

Make '62 Schatz! year jfusf zz little l6'if Hatter' ship High School in 1960-1961? Listen as they tell you. Every member of the junior Class is in some way outstanding. If not at school, then away from school- to himself or to others because he knows what he is going to do and because he's an individual and will affect other people all his life. Maybe he doesn't seem outstanding now, maybe he is to be especially outstanding many years from now. I believe the outstanding juniors are the whole junior Class. We all have worked hard to become a junior and I believe that it's an outstanding accomplishment that we've made it so far. The Junior Class has not had as many on the honor roll but they have done other things to distinguish them- selves. They've been active in extracurricular activities. They always pack the buses to out of town games. They have real school spiritf' August 1960-June 1961-What kind of a year was it? It was a year like any other year except that you, Class of 1962, as Juniors, left your mark upon the history of Rochelle Township High School.
