Patient- ly, although with great anticipation, they watched the step by step erection of a new building. This year, the new look emerged.

STUDENTS ENTER NEWLY-BUILT ADDITION Freshmen Carol Moon, Anita Moore, and Di- ane Merckx cover locker door with pictures. Since the school is a township school it is known to some as Jackson Town- ship, but in sports and to most people it is Roanoke School. Regardless of the name it is a fast-growing institution. Five years ago, within the P.T.A., the steering committee, composed of Bob Ferrel, chairman, Charles Hinton, Mrs. Kenneth Eisenhut, and Bob Welker, worked to arouse the community to ex- pand Roanoke High School. Soon, par- ents, teachers, businessmen, and officials met to discuss, plan, and dream. In the spring of 1957, under the plans of archi- tect Albert Heeter, the Bultimeir Con- struction Company began the $121,0 00 addition. K.M2i The physics class experiments in the lab. The entrance is highlighted with an attrac- tive trophy case. Students enjoy the roomi- ness of the building, especially the lockers and storage space. Beside the inner and outer offices is a clinic which serves not only as a first aid room, but also for such purposes as eye tests. Science students are impressed with the $12,000 lab and its adjoining dark- room. Study halls are held in the cheerful library which has a large capacity for many new books. FOR THE FIRST TIME Much homework is done in the study periods throughout the day in the library. Whether a school day has its begin- ning with the old alarm clock or Moth- er ' s call, it ' s off to school by bus, car, or on foot, and often with one eye shut. The fog is cleared (or should be) by first period class. Classes range from recita- tion and tests to group discussions or study periods. Between classes is a five minute break for brief chats, rushing, locker visits, or paint jobs for the girls. After lunch, either in the cafeteria or downtown, there is a relaxing time for walking the halls, talking, perhaps scan- ning the bulletin board which always has something interesting, or watching an intramural game in the gym. Terry Smith receives first aid treatment from Mr. Hinton in the clinic. LIVING AMONG FRIENDS, WORKING DAILY ASSIGNMENTS Fads this year were D.A. ' s, flat tops, French rolls, initial chains, bulky knits, Perry Comos, leotards, senior skirts and slacks, desert boots, and trench coats. After the bell rings cars are soon lined up headed for home. PURSUING INTERESTS MADE THE YEAR The advanced home ec class is shown decorating a Christmas tree. Steve Smith, above, consults Mr. Hinton about his future subjects on the academic program as he prepares for college in his freshman year. Nola Reed, above right, learns while she helps a teacher with clerical work. Ralph Langston builds a model home in shop. TEENAGERS CHOOSE FROM FOUR FIELDS Nancy Swihart learns homemaking skills on the vocational course. Before entering their freshman year prospective high schoolers are given a large blank to fill out concerning their basic course. Academic courses prepare students for college entrance. Commercial courses prepare students for business college or for many business and clerical jobs. Re- quirements for such jobs as carpenters, factory workers, and plumbers are satis- fied by the industrial course. The princi- pal and faculty make sure the student se- lects the course suited to him. They work hard to make a schedule that meets the needs of everyone. All high school courses involve English, spelling, and reading. The chemistry stu- dent would not get far telling of his ex- periment without English, the typist would be lost without spelling, and the world history student would have trouble if he could not quickly grasp the ideas from the text. Every spring there is a spelling bee in which winners from each class enter com- petition with other schools. While study- ing famous authors and poets from all over the world, literature class delves into character study, history, and philosophy. Practice in speech enables students to present ideas before a group. Latin students are heard saying Gallia est omnus divisa in partes tres. and te amo. Besides becoming familiar with a foreign language, Latin students receive an ex- cellent foundation of grammar and An- cient history. • 4 Mrs. Merckx helps Sandra Wohlford with a Latin declension. EXPRESSION IN SPEECH AND WRITING IS PRACTICED Carol Hinen gives a five minute talk for speech. CURRICULUM IS KEPT Ed Ross and Dave Witherow place their chemistry experiment under the gas hood. Ronnie Kummer observes his man-made rainbow in the dark room. The science department has ideal condi- tions for working. Much expensive equip- ment was purchased for the new lab. All freshmen take biology in which they study forms of life. Biology will prove prac- tical to the housewife working with yeast, the farmer fertilizing crops, or the home gardener. Chemistry lab periods are inter- esting as well as educational although not appreciated by the student body when sul- phur is used. High school physics class is for the boy and his hot rod, the musician, and the camera bug as well as the future sci- entist. Besides being fun, biology, chemistry, and physics lay a foundation for college science and engineering. Cheryl Caley uses the nevi? microscope to study algae in biology. 10 1 1 1 1 i MODERN BY EMPHASIS ON SCIENCE AND MATH Brent Norris ' s triangle shows up well on the new green boards. With rockets, missiles, and satellites headlining the news, the world has been made aware of the vast importance of technology. Students see the increasing demand for mathematics. A complete math program consists of algebra I. II. and III, geometry, trigonometry, and gen- eral math. Often ones who do not plan to be engineers or scientists sign up for math because it makes a well-rounded program and develops reasoning. Gerry Hartley solves a trig problem by graph 11 SOCIAL STUDIES PREPARE FUTURE CITIZENS Three years of social studies are required at Roanoke. After world history and U.S. history, students have a sound basis for current events, government, and sociology. In the fall the social studies classes take up a detailed study of elections and election pro- cedure. The government class holds a mock election for the high school with sample ballots. Results that can be compared with the actual election are posted. The sociology class discusses subjects from family relations to alcoholism. Voters in the mock election wait their turn for the booths in the teachers ' room where the election takes place. Members of U.S. history class enjoy a panel discus- sion. A discussion on dating in sociology holds every- one ' s attention! «% 12 INDUSTRIAL COURSES GIVE PRACTICAL TRAINING Keith Langston does a projection drawing. So every boy may learn to use his hands and mind better is the motto of every shop including that of Roanoke High School. The simple techniques of tightening a bolt to that of operating a planer are all learned in shop. Under able guidance the boys are able to make useful objects for home and school, and meanwhile prepare themselves to be handy men around the home. Bill Crabbs puts the finishing touches on project. his Rulers, protractors, French curves, and compasses are all familiar implements to the mechanical drawing student. He learns how to read and make blueprints, and form ob- lique and dimensional drawings from flat surface drawings. He practices forming per- fect, clean drawings and lettering. 13 SOME SPECIALIZE IN BUSINESS, Roanoke offers courses in general busi- ness, typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice. The training program is of such a nature that it not only pre- pares students for initial office jobs, but also develops a background of understand- ing that qualifies employees for promotion to more responsible positions. Everyone enjoyed office practice, the newest of the subjects. Besides the day-to- day activity of brushing up and acquiring more skill in typing and shorthand, each class member found it interesting and helpful to serve as secretary to a teacher. Much help was given faculty members by this service, and the students gained actual experience. Dave Truitt balances the accounts ledger. Typewriting and shorthand are subjects that have unlimited possibilities. Students like to watch their progress of gaining faster skills in typing and in taking dicta- tion. Rates as high as 80 correct words a minute in typing and 100 words a minute in shorthand are often attained by the stu- dents. Many take general business whether or not they are enrolled in the commercial course. They find learning the basic fun- damental of business both helpful and in- teresting. 14 OTHERS GO INTO AGRICULTURE AND HOMEMAKING Miss Roush pins a diagram of fabrics on a Home Ec bulletin board. Some of the topics covered in home economics were child care, home nursing, nutrition, food preparation, clothing con- struction, family life, and choosing a career. The new look in the home ec de- partment was the practice teacher, Mary Margaret Roush, a senior at Ball State Teachers College. Of interest also was a sophomore trip to Parkview Hospital in connection with home nursing and a trip to Ball State for the juniors and seniors. Farm management, its problems and joys, and animal husbandry were two main topics covered in agriculture. The differ- ence between a farm with worn-out, erod- ed land and the farm with productive acres is due to its management. The boys learned about crop rotation, fertilization, cultivation, farm machinery, and the care, feeding, and housing of livestock. Jim Stephens adjusts a part on the model tractor. 15 DRIVERS ARE INSTRUCTED IN CAR AND CLASSROOM A small class group discusses the importance of cooperation on the highway. m m Driver training develops calmness and sta- bility. Each student must have the required amount of time behind the wheel in order to receive his credit. He must also have class- room instruction in such subjects as visual acuity, breaking distances, meanings of sign shapes, parts of the engine, and the funda- mentals of safe driving. It is advisable for each driver to be taught by a qualified in- structor rather than a friend or relative or by the trial and error method. Shown in upper right is the ' 59 Ford donated by J. E. Zent and sons. Sophomores take turns changing a tire. ,Ml 16 HEALTH AND PHYS. ED. FOR ACTIVE YOUNG PEOPLE Girls ' phys. ed. class builds a pyramid on the mats. Keeping his body in a good healthy condi- tion makes it possible for a physical educa- tion student to do his best while participating in sports and studying in the classroom. In boys ' phys. ed. class calisthenics are a daily routine along with volleyball, basketball, or relays. When the weather permits, touch foot- ball and Softball are played. The girls enjoy hiking, volleyball, and basketball. The health class covers such subjects as mental diseases, function of internal organs, harmfulness of drugs, and personality development. Films and class discussions help to clarify. Class discussion is aided by diagram as Dave Stinson and Varen Thorne point out muscles. 17 MODERN TEENAGERS SUPPLEMENT ACADEMICS WITH ACTIVITIES Activities give teenagers social poise. At Roanoke High School there are several activi- ties that help develop personalities as well as skills. Music groups play an active part in the community. Organizations have much to do with the betterment of the individual, school, and community as well as the recreation and en- joyment obtained by their members. Such events as record hops, and the junior-senior re- ception and prom are looked forward to. Some of the most anticipated events are the formal and semi-formal dances. For weeks before girls lose weight, trade formals, and panic for a date. All these things make students ' school life fun. Well-chosen activities add spice to academic work and offer wholesome diversion. 19 Members of the cast and prompters rehearse with play books.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY PROVIDES FUN, Midnight ' takes place on New Year ' s Eve in a supposedly deserted house which be- comes a meeting place for a noisy newspaper reporter seeking a story, a spinster, a lawyer with a revolver, a mysterious visitor, and a host of others. The plot thickens quickly when a blue light is seen shining through a crack in the floor. Since Midnight was a mystery, every line had to be perfectly memorized so the line of thought would not be broken. Much time wai spent by the cast, Mrs. Merckx, and the stage crews in order to make it the success that it was. A stairs had to be constructed, and a bookcase built, complete with a hidden door and artificial books. Numerous lights had to be placed at strategic spots on, around, and over the stage. With peanuts used in the plot and as props the expense of peanuts could have been a problem. Eating stopped when someone suggested using clay peanuts instead of the real McCoy. The audience was so absorbed by the plot that when the chmax was reached they didn ' t even bother to throw paper airplanes. Although make-shift props are used at the re- hearsals, cast must put forth sincere expression. 20 CAST Karen Utterback spinster Jean Stabler niece Steve Simon Bob Ed Ross lawyer Nancy Swihart maid Jim Gay chauffeur Larry Middleton Joe Larry Williams Hugh Neil Yant myterious visitor Carol Lynch Paula Ruth Ann Bodenhamer housekeeper Ruth Ann Gass reporter Delbert Smith photographer I STAGE EXPERIENCE, AND MONEY Tom Shatzer, Dave Mercer, Cecil Villiard. and Bob Gosnell begin work on play sets (above).

SENIORS PRESENT A COMEDY OF ENTERTAINMENT Quiet Everybody is a slapstick comedy about the Edward Homey family and the conflicts occur- ring when father demands peace and quiet so he can concentrate on his new invention and a big business deal. This was found to be impossible as there are two teenagers in the family. The cast found fun backstage too. No one could tell when one of the cast would burst into uncontrol- lable laughter and the whole act would have to be rehearsed all over again. Someone was always for- getting, losing, breaking or eating the props. The eating stopped when Ronnie Kummer learned that the lemonade he had just drunk was concocted from water and yellow paint. Because of flying banana cream pies, Rex Zent found the laundry bill too high on white shirts, so a plastic bag was procured and placed over him dur- ing rehearsals. Production night knew its own emer- gencies. When some of the props were misplaced the professor had to ad lib for a minute, the zoo- keeper forgot his snakes, and a flying trip had to be made to Fort Wayne for gun blanks. Along with the fun there was work. The play took place on the Homey ' s front porch. The flats had to be put up and painted and a house front constructed. Cemetery gra.ss, trees, and porch furniture had to be borrowed or made. The cast spent nerve-wrack- ing hours memorizing their lines. Many times they had to turn down a bowling or movie date because of play practice. Mrs. Hudson gave her time and effort to direct the play. Everyone had a hilarious and unforgettable experience.

SUNSHINE HELPS DESERVING AND The Sunshine Society formal installation of officers and initiation of new members was held at the First Brethren Church in Oc- tober. The mothers were invited and refresh- ments were served in the basement following the ceremony. Peanut Pal Week was before Christmas. Each day a secret peanut pal gave a small gift. On the last day a special gift was given. Some members of the society decorated a Christmas tree which stood in the entrance of the new building. The profits from the annual chili supper held in January were contributed to the Riley Fund. A Sweet- heart Dance, a big success, was held Febru- ary 14. All members pitched in to work for the chili supper in the cafeteria. The officers, Ruth Ann Thomas, Jean Stabler, Judy Pulver, Ruth Ann Gass, Linda Runyan, and Marjorie Merckx carry the Sweetheart Dance Val- entine. 24 I ' ' -; ' Couples dance to the music of Mrs. Enid Scott and ensemble. Nola Reed and Larry Snyder reigned as Queen and King at the Sweetheart Dance. After a draw- ing they were crowned by Babette Miller and Dick Funderburg, last year ' s royal couple. SPREADS CHEER With a Song in My Heart was the theme of the dance. In carrying out this theme, a large red shining heart at the head of the dance floor bore the title With a Song In My Heart, in silver glitter. Each couple en- tered the dance floor in the commercial room through a large red heart. Stars, red and white cupids. along with many different shapes and sizes of hearts accented the red and white crepe paper decorations. One of the special dances of the evening was a broom dance in which a decorated broom was passed from one escort to another in exchange for a partner. Refreshments were served at small tables in the adjoining room. Ruth Ann Thomas was chairman of the dec- orating committee which spent many hours planning and putting up decorations. Shown here are Mr. and Mrs. Hinton, chaperones. Also chaperoning were Mr. and Mrs. Sharp. 25 The direct way which the students have of expressing their views and ideas about possible school improvements and functions is through the Student Council. Each grade appoints two of its members to serve as rep- resentatives at the council meetings held each month. They discuss with other repre- sentatives problems and needed improve- ments that confront the school and suggest to the school officials possible action that can be taken. Mr. Crum was chosen as this year ' s faculty advisor for the group. One of the major functions of the council is the selection of assembly programs for the coming term. This year ' s programs were both entertaining and educational. Roanoke students are pleased with the fine democratic way in which they are able to have representation on matters coming before the school. They are proud of the rec- ord of past achievements and hope that in the future many benefits, both to the school and students, will develop through this organiza- tion.

Just before Thanksgiving vacation students watched Mr. Banjo, Jose Silva. play traditional folk songs on different styles of banjos. 27 4-H WORKS FOR HEALTH, HEART, HEAD AND HANDS Time and energy go into girls 4-H projects before completion, but all seems worth while when a bright blue ribbon is placed on the exhibit. Rose Ann Kreienbrink won the county baking contest. Agatha Hoover won a trip to Purdue for her entry in home electronics. The entire club took trips to Long Lake in North Jklanchester for a picnic and to the state fair. Some of the highlights of Boys 4-H were the all-day Beef and Dairy Tours throughout the county. As the big fair draws closer, much time is spent brushing, washing, grooming, and training animals to look and act their verj- best. 4-H leaders Mr. Crum and Mrs. Sharp de- voted much time to helping members Girls 4-H, jirst row: Mrs. Sharp, Bonnie Glick, Carol Craft.

CHOIR MEMBERS BRING MUSIC TO SCHOOL AND AREA This year the high school choir was under the direction of Mrs. Schmucker and accom- panied by Nancy Kaufman. The choir, as usual, was kept busy preparing for various programs. Outstanding activities were the Christmas Concert, Spring Revue, and Coun- ty Music Festival. A mixed quartet consisting of Ann Berry, Jean Stabler, Rex Paul, and Bob Doerr was selected to join Mrs. Schmucker at a choir school, a part of the teachers ' institute held in Fort Wayne. They sang with other students from the area and brought back many new ideas. The choir sings not only for public affairs but for its own pleasure, presenting a variety of numbers such as chorales, folk tunes, spirituals, and show tunes. Entrants from the choir to the district NISBOVA contest were the sextette which received an excellent rating and the pian- ist, Nancy Kaufman, who won a superior entitling her to go to the state contest. Members of the boys ' quartette from left to right are: Dave Truitt, Bob Doerr. Rex Paul, and Norman Balliet. Members of the girls ' quartette from left to right are: Babette Miller. Judy Dager, Nancy Sanders, and Ruth Ann Gass. The girls ' sextette consists of Nola Reed, Carol Lynch. Ann Berry, Ruth Ann Thomas, Judy Pul- ver, and Jean Stabler. 31 Staff members are, first vow: Agatha Hoover, Linda Runyan, Mrs. Hudson, Nancy Kaufman, Mar- jorie Merckx, Rex Paul.

STAFF GETS EXPERIENCE IN PHOTOJOURNALISM Junior staff members are shown being instructed by Babette Miller for future yearbook work. Seated. ' Ruth Ann Bodenhamer, Jean Stabler, Karen Utter- back. Slanding: Neil Yant, Babette Miller, Ed Ross. The Saxmuri staff sponsored an End-of-School Dance in the gym for those that had 1959 yearbooks. There was no admission since each person ' s year- book was his ticket. There was dancing, autographing, reminiscing, and celebrating school being out. The yearbook actually had its start in the summer of ' 58 when Nancy Kaufman, editor, LaMar Swaidner, photographer, and Linda Runyan, business manager, attended the Journalism Institute at LU. where they plan- ned a dummy book and a budget. All three won firsts in their divisions. Soon after school began, groups of seniors took an entire day for ad selling. An en- graving company was chosen. R S M Stu- dio, Dave Stinson, and LaMar Swaidner start- ed snapping pictures. LaMar spent extra time developing and printing his own. Circu- lation managers Norman Balliet and Hanson Young got the sales campaign into full swing with posters and personal contacts. The staff kept typists and secretary, Babette Mill- er, on the move with everything from corres- pondence to tedious copy fitting. The two artists, Agatha Hoove r and Rex Paul, made plans and designed the art work and cover. Those writing copy were Nancy Kaufman, Bob Doerr, Agatha Hoover, Marjorie Merckx, Norman Balliet, Ronnie Kummer, and Gary Sontchi. 32 Two art students work on charcoal portraits at the drawing board. Jerry Staley. left, and Rex Paul display an ex- ample of work which won them honors at the Fort Wayne Art School. STUDENTS FIND FINE ART FUN AND AWARDING Art is said to be one percent inspiration, one percent imagination, and ninety-eight percent perspiration. The art class is in firm agreement. Some of the projects were char- coal drawing, oil painting, block printing, leather carving, and sculpture. On warm days members of art classes could be seen on the school lawn sketching and painting. It was found that one of the quickest ways to oblivion was via the moving of the flower pot and degenerating fruit used for a still life model. The department was in charge of the scenery for the Christmas Concert and Spring Revue and of poster making. Jerry Staley and Rex Paul had their entries hung at the Scholastic Art Awards Exhibi- tion at the Fort Wayne Art School. Rex won a gold key for his pencil sketch. Jerry ' s ex- hibit was a charcoal portrait of Bob Gosnell. Rex Paul mixes oil colors on a palette as he studies his still life subject. 33 THE SCHOOL BAND MARCHES, Band members are: First row: Marjorie Merckx, Keith Langston, Steve Smith, Mary Sagers. Second row- Marty John, Lonnie Thorne, Charlotte Clark, Sandv Oswalt, Carman Simon. Doug Thomas, Myron Husband, Phillip Piatt, Richard Dillman, Rodney Funk. Ed Ross. Third row: Cynthia Smith, Charlene Sagers, Pam Swaidner, Sandy Schenkel, Joan Foster, Sandra Langston, Perry Collins, Steve Simon, Ray- mond Foster, Jim Thorne, Mark Walker, Ricky Hartley, Mr. Whitacre, Donna Horine, David Latta, Terry Smith, David Witherow, Varen Thorne. Hot uniforms, bent instruments, and crowding from fans are all part of playmg for a game. Lana Witherow and Mary Sagers, left, re- ceived a superior ' at the NISBOVA for their flute duet. Donna Horme received an excellent for her saxophone solo. David Witherow traveled to the state contest at In- dianapolis and came home with a first rating. PLAYS FOR GAMES AND CONCERTS The band has been very active under the di- rection of Mr. Whitacre. The combined bands of Roanoke and Andrews played a concert at the 4-H Fair in August. A concert of marches was presented at the Roanoke Fall Festival. The members of the band traveled to Purdue where they marched with many other high school bands at a football game. The band must have been preparing for this as they marched up and down Vine Street during band period each day. Fans at home games enjoyed numbers by the band between quarters. The band played for the Christmas Concert, P.T.A. Penny Supper, County Festival, and Spring Revue. Numbers were prepared for the district Band Contest at Greentown. Seniors will never forget the Pomp and Circumstance at commencement. Mr. Whitacre directs during a fourth period band rehearsal. 35 SPORTS OFFER PARTICIPATION TO BOTH THE ATHLETE AND SPECTATOR w ' 0 . Jr The most publicized, broadcast, and talked about high school extra-curricular activity is sports. Basketball is said to be Hoosier Madness. Sup- port from the community is as important as from the students, ' hile providing entertainment for fans the athletes themselves grow in sportsman- ship and character as well as physical fitness. Those who participate in sports have a responsi- bility to themselves, their school, and community. Cheering fans build school spirit and patriotism. The R.H.S. athletic program includes basketball, baseball, track, volleyball, bowling, and intra- mural activities. 37 YELL LEADERS, FANS SUPPORT TEAM WITH ENTHUSIASM Although they had a losing season, the team had constant encouragement from fans. Cheer- ing blocks were formed at the tournaments. The fans wore white and black with green derbies. In October the yell leaders attended the yell leader convention in Portland, Indiana, where they learned new ideas for yells. Many clever, new yells were introduced. The kids are shown at the top on the cheering section stage in the home gym. The three lively yell leaders are Judy Schenkel, Marjorie Merckx, and Jean Stabler. Judy, Jean, and Marjorie lead a yell at half time. 38 Mr. Melson has taught and coached for eight years, two of which have been spent at Roanoke. While rebuilding the team, he has done a fine job of teaching sport fundamentals, team work, and sportsmanship. Many after-school hours have been spent by him coaching practices at school. The student managers, Gerry Hartley and Tom Hughes, are the unsung heroes behind school sports events. Their jobs include loading and unloading the team bus, keeping equipment organized, taping ankles, soaking feet, giving rubdowns, and occasion- ally wading into a steamy shower room to turn off faucets.

After the loss of seven seniors from last year ' s squad, Coach Melson encountered the task of rebuilding. Faced with one of the toughest schedules in the county, Roanoke players put forth their best efforts and dis- played fine sportsmanship in a disappointing season. Coach Melson ' s squad was severely hurt by injuries to key playe rs. Jerry Staley, the 6 ' 4 center, broke his finger in practice and missed the first few games. Again disaster struck in mid-season when Varen Thorne, senior guard and leading scorer, fractured his collarbone and was lost for the rest of the season. With all these difficulties the boys never quit fighting, and it finally paid off in their final game against Lancaster where they trounced the Lancers 19 points. Vast improvement was shown by the end of the season. The school looks forward to a successful season in 1960.

B-TEAM PREPARES FOR FUTURE VARSITY ACTION The B-Team got off to a slow start, but by the end of the season things were looking very promising for next year. Mr. Gill ' s dirty dozen spent many toilsome hours of practice to gain the much needed experience. They made a remarkable showing in the 4-Way Tourney by first defeating Hunting- ton Catholic one point in an overtime and losing by only five points in the final game against Union. With this great potential, everyone is looking forward to next year being one of the better seasons.

A team for the county boys volleyball tourna- ment in March was picked from those playing intramural. INTRAMURAL SPORTS OFFER FUN AND RECREATION Being less competitive, intramural sports are for all who want to join. Saturday morn- ings at Roanoke Lanes are reserved for school bowling open to all students at reduc- ed rates. In all, the school league has eight teams playing for the championship. The best two teams play other schools in Fort Wayne and Huntington. At noons students can be spectators to in- tramural basketball games in the gym. Cap- Saturday morning at the bowling alley (right). A jump ball starts another noontime basketball game. tains of the five teams are Norman Balliet. Ed Moore. Larry Williams.

The seniors emerged victori- ous. IN 1959 ROANOKE STUDENTS HAVE A NEW LOOK AT FACES FAMILIAR AND NEW High school offers a means of learning through studies and activities, but there is no experience of greater importance than that of living with others. By developing a mature personality in high school, grad- uates possess a key to the future. There is a friendly relationship at Roanoke. It is found between two who always smile as they pass in the hall; it is found in a confi- dential talk between a teacher and student; it is found existing among a class and its of- ficers. 47 MR. HINTON— Principal MR. HINTON IS COUNSELOR FOR STUDENTS Many have been in Mr. Hinton ' s office for a counseling session of some sort. Students go to him for help with college preparatory, vocational, and personal prob- lems. Excuse blanks are personally issued by him. He is present at nearly all school func- tions. Being a senior sponsor he must spend much time in senior class affairs. The po- sitioii of principal is an extremely active job with tremendous responsibility. Secretary One high school girl is chosen each year by the principal to assist him in clerical duties. Her job varies from filing grades to issuing excuse blanks. 48 Trustee In January after the 58 fall elections a new trustee was sworn in. Mr. Ed Yant, a farmer in the township, has assumed the trusteeship which includes such vital jobs as hiring teachers and allotting township funds. I l iji Tm  — r- f Ji ' ' ir ' Advisory Board Also new to office are the members of the advisory board. Kenneth Eisenhut, Garl Simon, and Delmar Glick.

Often students are not too aware of the cooks, bus drivers, or janitors. These people keep the school day running smoothly. The cooks spend much time and thought on mak- ing nutritious, tasty, and a variety of lunches for only $1.25 a week. Having a dependable and punctual bus dri ' er is often taken for granted. Nightly, the maintenance group pa- tiently dusts, polishes, and tidies up after an often too careless day of paper towel and gum wrapper strewing. During the day a familiar sight is Clem doing a variety of jobs from checking temperatures and lending hammers to giving a helping hand on stage sets.

CLASS OF ' 59 WORKS Planning, scheming, and hoping, all minds were filled with anticipation of the many approaching activities. Ruth Ann Thomas was the lucky recipient of a trip to Washington, D. C, Williamsburg, Virginia, and other historic points of interest in the East. She earned the trip by selling subscriptions to the Huntington Herald Press. In October the seniors took an afternoon to have their pictures taken at R. S. M. Studios at Bluffton. A few weeks later the proofs arrived and everyone was in a dilem- ma. After the choice was made and the orders registered, came the waiting. When the pic- tures arrived, there was a mad scramble to swap. Linda Runyan crams her suitcase to capacity in preparation for the trip. 54 Senior girls join in for a ping pong game at Mrs. Hudson ' s. A precision shot at pool table. Mrs. Hudson ' s Ruth Ann Thomas solicits for her prize-winning subscriptions. Much fun and some money were gained via old iron, copper, dirty paper, and just plain junk. With Mr. Hinton in the lead the seniors went on a tri-township tour collecting everything from old refrigerators to bedsteads. In class meetings the subjects covered ranged from the price of graduation invitations to the places to go on our trip. With Mr. Hinton and Mrs. Hudson around to offer sugges- tions and keep down arguments, everyone had fun and ac- complished much. Mrs. Hudson ' s recreation room was the favorite partj- site. Boys amused themselves at the pool table while the girls took turns on the mechanical bicycle. Everyone marveled at the elaborate Hi-Fi. When Mr. Hinton ' s birthday came this year, a cake given to him by the seniors was one way of saying, Thanks. Mr. Hinton, you ' ve been a great help and a true friend these past twelve years. The seniors had two record hops after home games. Rodney Funk and Jerry Staley served as platter spinners. Seniors introduced their parents and enjoyed each other ' s company as well as the food at the senior supper. Along with the band and choir, seniors were honored at another banquet at the E. U. B. Church. AND HAS FUN DURING SENIOR YEAR Baccalaureate was on May third. The speaker was Reverend Ward. After an inspiring message, the seniors received their Bibles. During commencement, on May sixth, seniors lis- tened to Reverend Armin C. Oldsen, director of Re- ligious Education and Public Relations at Concordia High School. Their faces portrayed their thoughts about graduation. There were many smiles, many sober faces and many tears. Words cannot describe the breathtaking view of Niagara Falls, Broadway ' s never-ending stream of colored lights, or the first glimpse of the capitol building on the long-awaited, never-forgotten senior trip. Realization that high school is really over comes especially when seniors are honored guests at the Ro- anoke Alumni Banquet after school is out. 55 Marjorie Merckx, secretary.

JUNIORS INCREASE TREASURY WITH CONCESSIONS, MAGAZINE SALES. The juniors and their class spon- sors, Mrs. Henning and Mrs. Merckx, were kept busy with four money making projects and two parties. The first project was selling magazine subscriptions. Immediately following that class members began going from door to door again with cards and stationery. The candy room was open for all the home basketball games and sock hops. As a reward for all the work, the class enjoyed a taffy pull at Jean Stabler ' s home and a bowling party at the Roanoke Lanes. Work days were held by juniors when they all pitched in to wash cars, clean lawns, and do other odd jobs. The junior-senior reception given by the juniors was held at the Hobby Ranch House. Following the dinner was a reading of wills and prophecies. A formal dance made a wonderful climax for the evening. Concession work includes going out into the crowd as well as duties in the candy room. Junior boys pull taffy. 60 JUNIORS Ruth Ann Bodenhamer Ruth Ann Gass Jim Gay Bob Gosnell Rose Kreienbrink Diane Latta Carol Lynch Dave Mercer Larry Middleton Sandy Rice Ed Ross Tom Shatzer Garry Siebern Jerry Simmons Steve Simon Jean Stabler Jerry Stephens Nancy Swihart Karen Utterback Cecil Villiard Larry Williams David Witherow Neil Yant 61 SOPHOMORE OFFICERS Serving the class are Pam El- vin, president; Doug Thomas, vice president; Judy Dager, treasurer; Judy Snelling, secretary. SOPHOMORES INVITE COMMUNITY TO ANNUAL FISH FRY The sophomores sponsored a fish fry on October 23. All class members helped by car- rying trays of fish or clearing tables. The fish fry is the major money-making project in high school. In November there was a party at Charlene Sagers with dancing for en- tertainment. By the end of December the ice was perfect for an ice skating party at Weber ' s. There was excite- ment on March 10 when they ordered their class rings. The class sponsors are Mrs. Wiedenhoft and Mr. Crum. Several helped to make green and white streamers to sell for the tourney. Girls lined up in the ag build- ing to flour fish for the fish fry. 62 Arthur Chenoweth Lynn Crabbs Alan Cumby Judy Dager Paul Forst Raymond Foster Pam Elvin David Graves Larry Hines Amelia Hitzemann Carole Householder Jack Hughes Michael Jacobs Kent Klepser Nolan Lahr Ralph Langston Gaylan May Karen Merckx Fritz Neel Brent Norris Mary Ann Pettit Phillip Piatt Ronnie Piatt Jim Pulver Sandv Raines Charlene Sagers Judy Schenkel Dean Shatzer Terry Smith Judy Snelling Mary Ann Ness Olen Snyder Jim Stephens Doug Thomas Susan Vebert Barb Williams 63 FRESHMAN OFFICERS Keith Langston, president; Bar- ry Hertel, treasurer; Mark Walk- er, secretary; Steve Smith, vice president. FRESHMEN HOLD RECORD HOP, HAVE PARTIES, AND MORE PARTIES. An initiation started the freshmen off on their four years of high school. The event took place in the gym and the scene was a slave auc- tion. Each member of the freshman class was sold to the lowest bidder. The greenies were made to do everything from running laps around the gym to manipulating a hula hoop. As slaves for the day they were compelled to do what their masters ordered, such as carrying books and tying shoe laces. The initi- ation officially ended with a wiener roast on a big bon fire. After the first basketball game the freshmen sponsored a record hop. In December they all boarded a bus for a theater party, accompanied by their sponsors, Mr. Gill and Mrs. Sharp. Slaves display their hula hoop ability during the auction. Poor slaves push peanuts across the floor with their noses. 64 FRESHMEN Alva Bard Richard Byall Cheryl Caley Bill Carmen David Coe Garry Dearduff Josephine Delmuth Patty Dennis Alice DeWitt Ronnie DeWitt Mike Farrell Sharon Gibson Roger Gordon Elizabeth Henline Barry Hertel Sandra Hinen Tom Hughes Marty John Keith Langston Linda May Diane Merckx Anita Moore Charles Reed Donna Rice Richard Rice Brenda Shephard Kent Smith Mike Smith Steve Smith Raymond Snyder Shirley Stansill Jimi Thome Mark Welker Sandra Wohlford Ann Zent ■ .-Jt: f. 65 JR.

needs suppor t and encourage- ment from its fans to lead them on to victory, so does a successful school need the backing of the entire community. Community support is evident at Roanoke. Without this continuous support, many accomplishments such as the construction of a modern building and the year- book would not be possible.
