From 8:35 to 3:40 We ' re When September 2nd rolled around, students of Jackson Township marched back to school. To some, it would be no different from any other dreary year. But to others the year promised to be full of fun, excitement, and passing grades! The usual sights and sounds were still there, but added to them were transfers from Lafayette Central and four new faces resembling teachers. Roa- noke ' s Stonewalls chalked up another con- ference crown while our band rated high in state contests. Clubs held record hops, cake raffles, and formal dances which brightened after-school hours. Whether we ' re working or having fun in school or after, we ' re show- ing that quality tops quantity. Tom Mast and Bob Denton show their versatility wtih the ping pong paddles during lunch hour. Mr. Handwork punches Greg Patten ' s lunch ticket while Duane Baker, Steve Ness, and Bill Brindle await their turn. L

WE ' VE GOT THE SECRET ( At Roanoke we feel the deciding factor that makes one school stand out above another should not be the enrollment of the school, it should be the quality of the students that attend. Although we cannot positively predict the future of Roanoke graduates, past experience and present attitudes give us a pretty strong hint as to the success of the Stonewalls. Many bankers, lawyers, businessmen and other ex- emplary citizens have called the halls of Roanoke home. We refuse, however, to stand on our past laurels. With the present attitudes of the students, even greater things are expected of us. We have many clubs, an athletic program second to none in the county school system, and scholastic opportun- ities which help in forming the individual. After graduation, when all of these experiences are chan- neled into the various fields of endeavor, outstanding citizens will be the result. As long as Roanoke produces students of fine quality and able leadership, its place in society should be held with the highest regard. SPORTS Pages 36-47 PEOPLE Pages 48-79 Page 3

All on Schedule Did you know the average Roanoke High boy is a 5 ' 9 tall, blue-eyed, brown-haired individual weigh- ing 156 lbs. with a waist line of 31.9 inches? He enjoys Dr. Kildare, basketball, girls, and named Elizabeth Taylor as his favorite actress. Naturally, the average girl is much different. She has brown hair, hazel eyes, and a shoe size of 7 % . Swooning over Dr. Kildare, screaming at basket- ball games, sewing, and spending 7.7 hours a week studying takes up most of her leisure time. The students adopted many fads and fashions throughout the year. The boys wore turtle-neck sweatshirts under thin striped shirts, with lean, pegged pants. Girls bought mohair sweaters, short skirts, and combed their ratted hair. In February a new sing- ing group from England called the Beatles swept the rest of our country, along with Roanoke. They brought with them the Beatle haircut, narrow, collarless suits, and guitar-driving music. These are just a few of the short-lived fads students from Roanoke enjoyed. Don Hines and Jeff Farrell check the school news they edit for the Roanoke Review. Susan Gruesbeck, Lana Witherow, LeRov Swihart, John Larkey, Mary Sagers, and Steve ' Wohlford display fads of the year. Page 5
