On September 13, 1943, our class of one hundred and twelve hopeful freshmen, awed, wide-eyed, and curious, entered the portals of Rochelle Township High School. The Freshman-Sophomore parties served as our introduction to the social life of high school. How- ever, it didn't take long for us to realize that studies were also a vital part of life at R. T. H. S., especially when the dreaded semester exams arrived. But not until they had passed, were we considered an estab- lished part of the school. Enchusiasrically, we entered into the extra-curricular activities, hoping to make our contribution to the school records. As sophomores, we watched the worried freshmen with amused, but sympathetic feelings. We envied the saucy juniors and the sophisticated seniors and wished time would flv a little faster. During that year, John Eyster, Edward Hall, Dick Hunt, Paul Unangst, Bill Zimmerman, Milton Duell. Dale Vandre, John Hartman, and Junior Crim formed the German Band , which was enjoyed by the fans at the basketball games and was continued on through our senior year. The next year found us busily working in the checkroom, selling mums at homecoming. and pre- paring for our glorious Junior Prom. Dancing in the dreamy atmosphere of the theme Mood Indigo to A1 Raymond,s Orchestra was a dazzling climax to a splendid year.

Seniors At Last Modern Sir Wfalter Raleighs assist Miss Ogden. - During our Senior year, we watched Don Kettle- son, John Hartman, Milt Duell, Bill Hubbard, and Dale Maxson on the gridiron and John Hartman, our only basketball star, see us through another bas- ketball season. Betty Lu Sexton, Jody Koritz, June Kepner, Winni Hills, and Georgia Bushnell kept us, and the whole student body, well entertained with their comical Thespian plays. This last year has passed too quickly as we remember, rather sadly, that the time has come to receive our diplomas and step out into the great unknown ahead of us. Our minds are filled with such thoughts as these: What trade shall I rake up? Shall I go to work or go on with my education, and if so, what college shall I attend? As we answer these problems, we are grateful to our school, our teachers, and our fellow students for the fellowship, guidance and training we have received during the past four years. We hope we have learned well the rules and uses of the keys which will unlock the doors of our future. Page Setfenteen Scientific genius at work
