We present it not in a spirit of hilarity but in a spirit of proudness and solemnity as a method of recording the past year's activities. We know that n parade must have its serious side. It must have the promoters and planners, the guiding hands of the teachers, and the active participation of its members, the student body. We believe that our parade will show our school as a closely knit organization where serious training for the future is well balanced with extra-curricular and social activities. It will show that our students are receiving the finest in educational background, thus equipping them to meet the problems of the unfinished parade of tomorrow.

The success of our high school and its parade of events and activities can be attributed largely to the careful planning and manage- ment of our conscientious board of education. Behind the school administration this group works smoothly and eliiciently to iron out the many dilhculties which 7 'sf' The head director of our school parade is our I superintendent, Mr. Hills. By skillful planning and fai-sighted vigilance he is able to anticipate and work out a solution to many problems before they arise. Under his guidance our school has ex- panded and improved until it is able to offer most of the advantages of schools many times the size of Rochelle High School. The chief curricu- lum addition this year has been an expanded physi- cal education program, which was highly praised by state educational authorities. Newly added courses include drivers, training, first aid, safety, and problems of marriage. The State Department of Public Instruction gave our school a rating of excellent. Both the University of Illinois and Northern Illinois State Teachers College send stu- dent teachers to our school for practice teaching. All of these recognitions can be attributed to the hard work of Mr. I-Iills. arise. The chief problem has been the rising tide of in- flation. Increasing costs make it even more diflicult to keep our school on its present high educational level. In order to secure these necessary funds, this group spon- sored a special election to permit the administrators to increase the tax levy. The excellent response of the voters was a pledge of confidence to the continued wise management of our board of education. Vernon Smithq Dr. l.. XV. Masters: Vera Herrmann, Secretaryg C. A.

According to Mr. Helms, every student should know something about the animal and plant kingdoms. One way to acquire this knowledge is to attend his biology classes. With his skillful leadership and amusing anecdotes, the eves and ears of the students are opened to their everyday surroundings. Mr. Nelson . . . Witli test tubes and Bun- sen burners to aid him, Mr. Nelson smiling- ly leads chemistry students through a year of glorious adventures, while laying foun- dations for those who hope to travel further into the realm of chemistry. Scientific freshmen inspect complicated lighting equipment. Mr. Hills . . . Leading a group of the more mathematically-minded juniors and seniors through the puzzling problems of algebra and solid geometry only adds to the work of our superintendent. However, this cloes not hinder his capable guiding of our efficiently operated school or his taking time out for individual student problems. Miss Aschermann . . . New to us this year, Miss Aschermann introduced the jun- iors to the past history of our country, and through civics prepared the seniors to be good citizens by teaching them the funda- mentals of voting and the operation of our city, state, and federal forms of govern- ment. Mr. Roe . . . At the beginning of the second semester he switched from math to the teaching the mysteries of science and the importance of physics to an enthusiastic group of freshmen and senior students. Teachers Encourage Science Miss Welch . . . Sewing, canning, fur- nishing a house, and even doing a washing become simple and enjoyable tasks when Miss Welch guides the home economics girls in tasting samples of food prepared by home ec girls. Miss Howell . . . uagsldkfjghv-even the advanced commercial students use this warm-up drill for typing. Under Miss How- ell the students learn the fundamentals and more intricate problems of typing, short- hand, and bookkeeping. Future carpenters finish cabinets in shop class. Mr. Weliner . . . Agriculture is a science necessary to everyday living which Mr. Weliner relates as simply and as thoroughly as possible. Field expeditions and contest judging give the boys practical experience which their teacher enjoys as much as the boys do. Mr. XVehner also conducts Veteran Training Classes for the young men of the community and gives invaluable aid to the farmers of the surrounding territory by demonstrations and farm meetings. Mr. Skoglund . . . With his friendly smile and his demands for accuracy, Mr. Skog- lund has made the mysteries of mechanical and industrial drawings, blue-print reading, and general .shop work unfold before the eyes of the green freshmen, and experienc- ed sophomores-even the mighty juniors and seniors are., still awed by Mr. Skoglundls knowledge of industrial arts.

NVhat is the meaning of 'criterion', Miss Happe?', One of her chief aims in teaching English is to help her stu- dents acquire a large vocabulary. No less are her aims to give her students a thorough knowledge of the basic principles of the English language and a true appreciation of American literature. Miss Greenawalt . . . Always ready with fl cheerful smile, Miss Greenawalt patiently answers the many questions of her English students, and at the same time runs the school library smoothly and efhciently. Mrs. Olson . . . Quiet Backstage! is the motto Mrs. Olson instills in her dramatic students. Besides spending her spare hours directing the plays that the community and school so enjoy, Mrs, Olson develops self- confidence in her speech students through readings, debates, pantomimes, and speeches. Miss Johnson . . . In her gym classes, Miss Johnson strives not only for perfection in such activities as basketball, volleyball, and archery, but also for the fair play and good sportsmanship that are so essential in every- day living. ' Mr. Ellis . . . A great deal of the credit for our well-rounded physical education program is due to the efforts of Mr. Ellis. All students receive instruction in safety, driver training, first aid, and problems of marriage. In addition Mr. Ellis finds time to coach successful football, basketball, and track squads.

Custodians Seeming never to tire of picking up after us, John and Bud strive to keep our school looking its best. And what would many of us do if John were not around to open our lockers for us? Besides keeping the school warm in winter, shoveling snow from the sidewalks, mowing the lawns and sweeping each room every day-only a few of their many duties- they can always be seen after hours assisting the pro- duction of a play, operetta, or party. To these, our friendly custodians, we extend many, many thanks for their help and service. Cafeteria Satisfying the appetites of the hungry students of R.T.H.S. was quite a task, but our faithful cafe teria managers did a good job throughout the year. Mrs. Eckhardt and Mrs. Sexton managed the cafe teria at the beginning of the year. Mrs. Halsne took over the management later in the year when Mrs. Eckhai-dt became ill.

FIRST ROW: Kathryn Bienfang, Secretary, Lloyd Kunde, Presi- dentg Catherine Grimm, Treasurer. For four years the seniors have participated in every possible part of the parade-scholastics, athletics, clubs, and social life. These fun and work-filled years began way back in September 1944, when as freshmen they entered the halls of R. T. H. S. An assembly first introduced them to their future school life, the Sophomore-Freshmen Party, to the social life. Those horrible initiations- dancing jigs, doing the conga to waltz music and bow- ing to the juniors and seniors-made them respect the powerful upper-classmen. After their initiations they plunged into the study of various subjects and with concentrated effort many were able to remain high on the honor roll for four years. Kathryn Bienfang won the coveted D. A. R. Award along with Girls' State. Boys' State was awarded to Robert Anderson and Lloyd Kunde. The senior boys and girls held prominent positions in the band and orchestra, while other groups formed the boys' trio, girls' trio, boys' octet, string quartet, clarinet quartet, brass sextet, and the German Band. Many of these won honors at the Sectional and State Contests. The boys' trio, composed of Lloyd Kunde, Melvin Meling, and Dick Koebler, was especially active throughout the year. They furnished music at Oregon, the Sportsman's Club Banquet, the Football Banquet, and sang at various church affairs. Truly one of the most active classes in the history of their alma mater, the Class of '48 was active in the clubs all through its years in high school. Many offic- ers have come from its ranks, and without the support of members from this class the F. F. A., F. H. A., G. A. A., Jesters, Thespians, Camera Club, and Science Club would not have been so successful. Page Sixleefz Parade Their Talents Under the direction of Editor-in-Chief, Dick Nel- son, the Ro-To-Hi-Life staff kept the students well- informedg while the Tatler staff, headed by Nancy Halsey, Mary Ellen Butler, and Catherine Grimm, pre- pared a record of the year's events. Football, basketball, tennis, golf, and track were well-supplied with reinforcements by their class- whether they were freshmen or seniors. In their sopho- more year, three boys, Melvin Meling, Arthur Newell, and Stanley Campbell, made the heavyweight football squad, and Bill Brennan was on the first string basket- ball team. These boys and many others in their four years in high school, surged forward taking both victory and defeat well in stride. Melvin Meling, Hackett Trophy winner, and Stan Campbell, Honorary Captain, starred on the football team which won the 1947-8 North Central Illinois Conference, while Bill Brennan, Hackett Trophy winner, and Lloyd Kunde, Honorary Captain, and Dick Ripp led the way on the 1948 bas- ketball team. To the tune of Strolling Through the Park the class of 1948 entertained at the annual prom in a deco- rative park scene. Amid a setting of plum trees in bloom, a wishing well, park benches, balloons, and a merry-go-round they danced away the evening. The traditional senior banquet, where the reading of the class will, history, and prophecies brought back memories of the pZlSt and dreams of the future, was held late in May. More solemnly the seniors marched in at baccalaureate services to hear an inspiring sermon. Then came graduation, the night to which they had been looking forward with eagerness but also with sad- ness. As they listened to the address, they realized what a small but integral part theirs had been in the parade of R. T. H. S. 55 ..1N 'Q Office practice girls prepare for future jobs.

On April 23, the senior class of 1948 presented the play Harriet,', which has a cast of twenty-seven and uses two different sets. Harrietls personal history is of the gayest, most laughter loving of the brilliant Beecher family. The play opens in Cincinnati upon the day Harriet Beecher Stowe fBetty Dalej returns from her honey- moon with her absent-minded professor husband fLloyd Kundej and announces her intention of leading a com- pletely selfish life devoted to study and writing. When we see her again, she is the poverty-stricken, harassed mother of six mischievous children. In between washing, baking, and babies, she has managed to scribble a few little stories of which the Beechers -- Lyman QRobert Andersonj, Catherine fMuriel Sudburyj, Wfilliam QMelvin Melingj, Edward QCharles Millottej, Henry CMyron Welshj, Charles CDavid Stoverj, and Mary CDorothy Breckenridgej-strongly disapprove. When a helpless old Negress QShirley Connery is cap- tured and dragged back to slavery from the Stowe house, Harriet becomes so angered that she writes a novel portraying the evils of slavery. The expert acting and hard work of the cast, crews, and the director, Mrs. Olson, surely deserved the great ovation given them. This successful presentation of Harriet marked the final climax to an eventful senior year.

Stationery makes a fine gift, won,t you buy some?l' These were the cries of the juniors who were anxious to raise money for their prom. In a close election in September, Dick Krahenbuhl was chosen as President to lead the class through the year. Athletic juniors were out for football and basketball. Don Plumley, Paul Plumley, and Bill Felt held first string positions on the Varsity football team. The foot- ball first string was backed up by Dick Krahenbuhl, Duane Yetter, Ralph Kingsbury, Robert Palmer, John Moore, Hughes Morris, Don Westbrook, James Reed, Chuck Heron, Carl Dilling, James Yeo, Clifton With- row, and Aaron Sloniker. The Plumleys also held first string basketball positionsg they were backed by Dick Krahenbuhl, Paul Lewis, and Dick Osborough. Many surprising things happened in history class, but no one was more surprised than Dick Osborough, a newcomer from Amboy this year, when Rodney Smith stood up! It seems Rodney was picking some paper off the floor when Dick decided to play leap frog. Just as he started to jump, Rodney stood up with Dick on his shoulders! Musically inclined juniors reported at 8:45 for band practice. Orchestra, Chorus, German Band, Brass Sex- tet, and Clarinet Quartet also drew many of these am- bitious students. The juniors were very active in Dramatics this year. In November, Joan Herrmann played the leading role of Maggie Cutler in the Jester production of The Man Who Came To Dinnern. Chuck Heron, Maurine Guest, Jaclee Sutton, Marilyn Morrissey, and Tom Herrmann were also in the cast. In February, Chuck Heron por- trayed Sir Joseph Porter in the UH. M. S. Pinaforef, Tom Herrmann narrated the contest play Mind-Setn. Maurine Guest and Carolyn XVillms took parts in Ro- chelle's N.C.I.C. play, New School of Wivesn. Caro- lyn was chosen for the all-star cast. Junior committees plan their prom. u KNEELING: Fred Harrison, Student Councilg Miss Howell, Sponsor, Don Plumley, Vice-Presidentg Jim Reed, Treasurer, Dick Krahenbuhl, President.

A., G. A. A., and F. H. A. had many active members and officers from the junior class. Forty new members from our class greatly increased the size of the Beaker Breakers. On May 15, Juniors and Seniors danced amid flow- ers and spring scenes which set the mood for our Spring Fantasy Prom. Music was supplied by Don Adams' nine-piece orchestra from Joliet, Illihois.

After successfully enduring the hardships of geome- try, biology, and algebra, the weary sophomores look back on a very eventful year. Starting off with a Bang , they welcomed the Freshies,' at an informal party. In school colors the decorations, pennants, footballs, and tackling dummies, helped carry through the theme Kick-Offu. The eve- ning was spent playing games and dancing. For enter- tainment, Joan Harrison played a piano solo, and Faith Sage gave a reading, 'KAt The Soda Fountain. Many sophomores took up journalism, and when the R0-To-Hi-Life staff was chosen, better than seventy- five percent were sophomores. Faith Sage, Anne King- ma, Elinor Heron, and Bob Coppernoll held positions on the Taffm' staff. Herman Willms, Kalah Roeder, and Melvin Joesten participated in The Man Who Came To Dinner , while an active part backstage was played by many sophomores. The class was also well represented in G.A.A., F.H.A., and F.F.A. with members and officers in all. A large percentage of the band, orchestra, and chorus was made up of sophomores.

A When the nine o'clock-bell rang on September 2, 1947, ninety-three very timid freshmen boys and girls found themselves seated in the auditorium of R. T. H. S. After they received their schedule cards, the fresh- men could be seen wandering up and down the halls looking for their classrooms. Although many of the freshmen were late to their classes the first day, their teachers were very patient and understanding, and the FreshiesM soon felt right at home. Freshman boys who reported for athletics were: Bill Davis, Buddy Cooper, Robert Spraetz, Ernie Chisamore, Doyle Stroud, James Carson, Robert Bacon, Malcolm Bushnell, David Henry, James Galloway, Jerry Carter, John Highstreet, Charles Hill, Robert Lang, Fred Mor- ris, and Norris Pierce. Many of these boys were very valuable to the lightweight football and basketball teams. The freshmen spent an enjoyable evening at the party which the sophomores held in their honor on September 20 in the study hall which was decorated with the school colors, purple and white. At the end of an evening spent playing games and dancing, re- Pllglf Tbirly The Parade of Rochelle High School AAS FIFTH ROW?

A., Jesters, band, and chorus. All of those in the chorus participated in the operetta, H. M. S. Pina- fore . The freshmen were indeed proud of the small band consisting of Frances Johnson, David Barker, Kenneth Pierce, and Bob Finkboner, which played for some of the school dances, and also of those freshmen whose names appeared on the honor roll. For the past nine months the freshmen have strug- gled valiantly with the mysteries of algebra and math, they have been exposed to the theories of general science, and have patiently learned the rules of good English. A few have fallen by the wayside, but most of them under the guidance of their counselors and their spon- sor, Miss Aschermann, have become an established part of R. T. H. S. The freshmen are looking forward to their second year when they hope to expand their hori- zons even more. Page Thirly-one amiliar Faces in the Rochelle Parade 4 ., gt sm X. 1,7 .Q 3. if!

Although each person gladly accepted his share of the work, Mr. Roe, the sponsor, and Nancy Halsey, the editor, still had to work many additional hours checking other's mistakes and making last minute changes. High light of the year was the Illinois State Press Conference held at Champaign. Nancy and Mr. Roe participated in a panel discussion.

'tYou're covering! are some of the terms with which the Jesters are well ac- quainted. The purpose of this club is not only putting on plays, but also teaching the traditions and techni- calities of the stage. They have learned that besides the fun of acting, there is also much hard work to putting on a play such as rehearsing long hours, getting prop- erties for the stage, putting on the make-up, and giving each character a distinct personality. The Jesters presented Mind Setl' with Mary Ellen Butler, Robert Anderson, Helen Handlin, and Jerry Harms in the leading roles. This play, which was enter- ed at the state contest in Rockford, rated third in the district contest and fifth in the sectional contest. Jester initiates dress up as comic strip characters. No less important were the various readings that the Jesters gave for entertainment throughout the year. In the NCIC contest Betty Dale and Carol Hills took firsts for their readings, and Carolyn Willms was given a third. This year the NCIC Dramatic Festival was held at Rochelle on March 6. Five schools--DeKalb, Mendota, Geneseo, Rock Falls, and Rochelle-participated. Each school presented their version of the play, New School of Wives.,' Afterwards an all-star cast was chosen which included Betty Dale, Carolyn Willms, and Nancy Halsey.

Thespians is a national honor society for students who do outstanding work in dramatics. Leadership, citizen- ship in high school, and dramatic ability are taken into consideration before a student becomes a member and receives a pin. During the first semester the three members in Thes- pians-Lloyd Kunde, Kathryn Bienfang, and Muriel Sudbury-presented The Sisters MacIntosh at several places in our vicinity and also for an assembly. After the initiation on February 28, Thespians boasted thir- teen members. At a formal initiation, the new members presented a comic debate and were afterwards enter- tained at a tea. On March 23 the Rochelle Thespian Chapter, by a very impressive ceremony, installed a Thespian Chapter at Genoa. At a spring banquet the Thespians members, through skits, speeches, and entertainment, attempted to give their parents a better knowledge of the aims and mean- ings of the Thespian Society. The highest aim of Thes- pian members is to be a Gold Star Member. Seventy points are required for this honor. This year Kathryn Bienfang and Muriel Sudbury were the only Gold Star Members. Page Foriy When the Jesters and their director, Mrs. Olson, de- cided to stage the famous Hart and Kaufman comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner , they had many qualms about the outcome of their decision. Their an- swer came on the evening of November 14 when, as the last curtain fell, they received a five curtain call ova- tion from the enthusiastic audience. The weary nights of practice, the minute attention to details, and the labors of the stage, make-up, and property crews-all seemed worthwhile after listening to the reception given them by the packed house. Outstanding roles were played by Robert Anderson as the gruff, cantankerous Sheridan Whiteside, Joan Herrmann as Maggie Cutler, his faithful, efiicient, but unsympathetic secretary, and Norman Nelson as Bert Jefferson, the clean-cut struggling newspaperman who A continuous series of humorous incidents were pro- vided by the tribulations of the social aspiring Mrs. Stanley QNancy Halseyj and her home loving husband fFrancis Henryj whose home has been taken over by the complaining Mr. XVhiteside. Plenty of humor was added by the endless parade of self-centered characters who came to visit Whiteside, bringing with them, their odd assortment of pets. The mummy case, roaches, and penguins all added to the confusion. Despite Whitesidels efforts to break up his secretary's romance, the couple finally won out and the play came to a rollicking end with Whiteside breaking his leg again.

Later in the year, the band gave a concert for the Sterling High School students. An American flag, presented to the band by the Women's Auxiliary of Foreign Wars, was accepted by the band president, Robert Anderson. At present the band is accumulating funds for new uniforms. An all-school magazine contest spon- sored by the Curtis Publishing Company raised ap- proximately SS00. Orlo Aldreks and Margaret Pfoff won Bulova wrist watches for high sales in this con- test. Additional funds were contributed by the 1947 Senior Class. U Majorettes Leading our band this year, with the aid of Mr. Gieske, was Roger Hewitt, drum major, and our four snappy drum majorettes. After the first two games, misfortune set in, however-Alice McEachern and Therese Herrmann were unable to twirl for the rest of the, football season. Fortunately Chris and Nita Stone were still able to carry on. All four of these girls and Roger have done a fine job of giving the band a professional appearance and helping to perfect our various formations. 10 Fun and Formations Pep Llp the Games Wow, it's cold! The ground is so wet! Oh, I wish I were inside! Despite these feelings, the mem- bers of the marching band were always ready to give our shivering football fans entertainment at the games. Because there were so few home games this year, the marching band wasn't seen too often on the football field. For this reason the fans enjoyed all the more the treat of watching the band, under the direction of Mr. Gieske, go into its formations. This year the group tried something new-making for- mations while marching. Some of the unusual for- mations of this type were the bucking broncho, cray fish, a goal post, a football, and the initial letters of the various competing schools. Little German Band Under the able direction of Myron Welsh, the German band furnished many hilariously entertain- ing moments during the intermissions at basketball games. Their rollicking antics, their gay music, their comical costumes-all added to a most amusing ev- ening whenever they appeared.

Early in the fall the orchestra furnished music for the Ogle County Teacher's Institute. Besides preparing for the music contest in Sterling, the first contest the Rochelle orchestra had entered for a long time, the or- chestra found time to appear at various programs held at school. The orchestra provided music between the acts of the play The Man Who Came to Dinnerf, The string members of the orchestra played at the football banquet during the meal, and a few members played for the operetta. Some members from the orchestra en- tered the Sterling music contest as soloists and did very well. Charlotte Lazier, Sally Colwill, Ruth Holmes, I.uella I.azier. Clarinet Quartet Last year the Bb Clarinet Quartet Won first place in the state music contest at Canton, Illinois. This year four clarinetists, Charlotte Lazier, Sally Colwill, Ruth Holmes, and Luella Lazier have provided excellent en- tertainment for many an audience, in and out of school throughout the year. String Quartet Furnishing delightful music was the object of this year's string quartet. Frances Johnson, Steve Dee, Carol Hills, and Jane Eyster, who practiced many long hours, proved to their listeners that they had accomplished their aim. They provided music for the Christmas re- cital held at the Presbyterian Church. On April 3 they entered the district contest at Sterling. Frances Johnson, Jane Eyster, Stephen Dee, Carol Hills.

Chorus When a call for chorus members was given in Sep- tember, a total of 70 students responded. On November 21, eighteen members of the group were elected to sing in the North Central Conference Festival at Dixon. The entire conference chorus was under the direction of the famous choral leader Sangrider Henry Veld of Augustana College. In 1947 the chorus won first place in the district contest. Later in the year they journeyed to the state finals in Canton and gained first honors along with Benton and St. Charles. A large part of the year was spent in preparation for the operetta, H. M. S.

Pinaforef, or The Lass That Loved a Sailor , was a skillful combination of music and acting directed by Mr. Gieske and Mrs. Olson. It was the story of Ralph QLloyd Kundej, a lowly but handsome sailor, who loved Josephine CJoan Greenej, the Captain's beautiful daughter. The Cap- tain fMelvin Melingj, wanted Josephine to marry the pompous, self-centered, aristocrat, Sir Joseph Porter fCharles Heronj. The villain, cruel, ugly Dick Deadeye CDick Koeb- lerj, did all he could to further the captain's scheme, For a While it seemed that he would get his way, but in the end love, with the aid of Little Buttercup fKath- ryn Bienfangj, won out as Josephine and Ralph sang, Oh Joy, Oh Rapture. A chorus of sixty made up the sailors, and the sis- ters, cousins, and aunts of Sir Joseph Porter. They help- ed the principals sing of their sorrows and in the end rejoiced with Ralph and Josephine.

Painting their dark room and earning money to furnish it with the proper equipment have kept the Shutterbugs , a newly organized camera club for R. T. H. S. students and faculty members, very busy. Under the guidance of Miss Wfolf and Mr. Roe the club has worked hard selling Hubs pen and pencil sets, checking coats, and selling candy at the basketball games. The funds will be used to purchase equip- ment for the dark room. The members learn the techniques and scientific facts of photography as well as the best methods for obtaining com'- position and quality in their pictures. The club was able to obtain the National Photograph Contest Exhibit for display in our school. Dave Berkey won a five dollar prize in this contest. Later the club sponsored an all school photography te Added This Year contest to foster interest in hotovra h . P o P The fundamentals of photography introduced in this club may lead some of these R.

The debate team, coached by Mrs. Olson, is the first one that Rochelle has had for many years. This year's question was, Resolved: that the Federal Government should require arbitration of labor disputes in all basic American industries. The affirmative case was upheld by Muriel Sudbury and Hughes Morris. The negative side was taken by Dorothy Breckenridge and Dick Koebler. The team gained valuable experience when it debated the question before the school assembly. Following this, the team participated in a Confer- ence Meet at Mendota where they obtained a rating of fourth place. On March 13, the debate team entered the Sectional Con- test held at Rockford. Although Rochelle was competing against schools of much greater size and experience, they were able to obtain fourth place. The experience gained by these teams will help them in meeting problems of the future. Page Forly-seven G.A.A.

Hiking with Jean Schermerhorn, archery with Charlotte Lazier, baseball with Therese Herrmann, basketball with Barb Quest, bowling with Beverly Mott, and tennis with Sarah Sweeney and Cath- erine Grimm as sportsleaders helped to build and main- tain the girls' health and sportsmanship at a high level. Starting the year with a Fall Roundup , the girls entertained prospective members at a wienie roast. Later, the Shoeless Shuffle , a potluck supper and dance at which all shoes were deposited at the door, attracted many colorful socks. The annual Mother-daughter Banquet was enjoyed by all-especially the speech by Miss Piano from East Moline High School. Miss Piano presented a five-point speech in which she described the physical, mental, emo- tional, social, and moral qualities she would bring out in her daughter to make her a well-rounded G.A.A. girl.

The outstanding party was the one at which the R0- chelle G. A.A.were guests of the Dixon Club. Even though the floor felt rather hard to some, everyone had a good time. A play day which was attended by surrounding G. A.A.'s was given as a final big event of the year. Sports, relays, dancing, and, of course, eating filled the day, and the girls, to the brim. The girls sold pencils with the basketball schedule engraved on them, checked coats, and sponsored a rum- mage sale in order to bring in much-needed money for their treasury. Much credit must be given the hard-working offi- cers-Shirley Conner, President, Christine Stone, Vice- Presidentg Wanda Breckenridge, Secretary-treasurer, and Donna Secoy, Point Secretary-for their efforts to make this a successful year for the Girls' Athletic Asso- ciation of Rochelle Township High School.

Miss Happe is the club sponsor. This organiza- tion is not active during the year, since the members are usually chosen by a faculty committee from the upper ten per cent of the senior class late in the spring. For the first time in many years, the 1947 Rochelle chapter of the National Honor Society had as members two girls, Mary Ellen Hoisington and Miriam O'May, who were chosen during their junior year. Members are chosen on the basis of leadership, dependability, serv- ice and scholarship. John Hartman also earned the Science award last year for his outstanding record in the science courses. Georgia Bushnell was awarded the annual D. A. R. Award. She also served as the 1947 Tatler editor. Jo Anne Koritz was editor-in-chief of the 1947 Ro-To- Hi-Life and a member of Quill and Scroll. Library All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy -or Jill a dull girl -was certainly a fitting phrase when applied to the Librarians' Club this year. For the first time in many years, the club, with Miss Greenawalt as adviser, relaxed together after spending hours and ex- ercising much patience on their various librarian duties. Besides collecting fines on over-due books, dusting shelves, keeping the books in order, preparing new books for circulation among students, and helping worried students find the works of Shakespeare or Pearl Buck, the librarians undertook the huge job of clean- ing out and reorganizing the card catalogue. In keeping with the nature of their work the girls enjoyed a treasure hunt among the books. After work- ing up a fine appetite the searchers finally located the treasure which consisted of cherry pie, ice cream and cokes. The girls were given another party at the end of the year as a reward for their diligent work. STANDING: LaVonne Scheiber, Joanne Ritchie, Charlotte Lazier, Mary Walsh, Muriel Sudbury.

They were able to conquer every confer- ence opponent by a margin of at least four touchdowns and were trounced only once, early in the season by a powerful, undefeated Belvidere team. The Hubs opened their season with a 28-O victory over Dixon. Mel- ing drove from the two yard line for the first touchdown and repeated his performance in the second quarter from the 14 yard stripe, The two addi- tional touchdowns were scored by Newell. With the aid of magnificent blocking from the line, the Hubs outplayed a strong Morrison team by a score of 12-0. Newell scored from the one yard line for the first touch- down while Paul Plurnley scored the second from the ten yard line. The Hubs ended a perfect homecoming week end by trouncing a fav- orite Princeton team 26-0. Newell plunged from the Tigers' one yard line during second quarter for the first tally. An end run by Meling gave the Hubs their second touchdown. A Brennan-to-Plumley pass scored the third touchdown and an intercepted pass by Kunde, coupled with a twenty- six yard run, brought the fourth. A good Geneseo team gave the Hubs con- siderable opposition during the first half, but the Hubs turned the tide in the second half to win a decisive 38-13 victory. Meling scored three times with a 30 yard run, a three yard run and a fifteen yard run. Newell scored from the thirty-two yard line and Paul Plumley plowed forty yards for the final tally.

The Hubs had little diiiiculty defeating Mendota 34-13. Newell scored on the third play and from then on it was definitely a Hub ball game. Bren- nan faked a pass to Meling and went fifty-three yards for a touchdown. Plumley raced forty-nine yards for the third tally as the first quarter end- ed. Following the intermission Meling went ten yards for the fourth score, and just a little later scampered three yards for the final touchdown. Sadly outclassed by a superior Rochelle team, Amboy was trounced 34-0. In the opening quarter Meling went eighteen yards for the initial tally, and a little later raced nineteen yards for the second. In the second quarter a pass from Brennan enabled Ripp to race forty-two yards for the third. Meling went three yards in the second quarter for the fourth tally. A reverse to Plumley scored the last from the one yard line. In the deciding game of the season the Hubs outplayed a good Rock Falls team to win the game and the conference title 39-7. Paul Plumley raced nineteen yards for the first tally. Brennan went eighteen yards for the second one. Meling plowed sixteen years for the third, and in the third quarter smashed thirty-one yards to score the fourth touchdown. In the last stanza Brennan went twelve yards for the final tally. The season ended with the annual football banquet sponsored by the Rotary Club. Stan Campbell, an outstanding lineman throughout the year, was elected honorary captain. Melvin Meling an all-conference back receiv- ed the Hackett Trophy as the outstanding player of the year. 1947-8 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE We They 28 Dixon 0 Meling 12 Morrison 0 Newell 0 Belvidere 14 P' Plumlfv' 26 Princeton 0 Bfenmn 3 S Geneseo 13 R'PP 34 Mendota 13 B' mumlfy 34 Amboy o hunde 39 Rock Falls 7 Harry Peterson Ken Hayes Art Newell Gerald Horton Paul Plumley End End Fullback Tackle Halfbar-,Q Melvin Meling, halfback Hackett Trophy Wirifzrr TOUCHDOWNS Touehdowns Extra Total 13 6 84 7 4 46 5 3 38 4 O 24 1 Z 3 I 1 7 I 0 5 32 21 213 Dick Ripp Lloyd Kundc Em! , Q1ll1l'fCl'b!lL'L'.

Hublets Season Plagued b Mumps I-Ie's over! Yes, Buddy Cooper had just rounded Dixon's right flank for the I-Iublet,s first touchdown in the opening game of the year. In the second half the referee's arms were raised again as Rochelle won 14-O. The Hublets continued their winning ways by running over the Morrison Mustangs 13 to 0. The points scored by the Rochelle aggregation were held down by a large num- ber of penalties. Our second half rally against Belvidere wasn't quite enough to overcome a twelve point deficit at the end of the first half, and the final score was 12-7. Then it happened! We met an unscheduled opponent. Who was it? The mumps! With a patched up Iine-up, the Rochell- ites lost the heartbreaking homecoming to Princeton by a 15 to 6 count. The mumps weren't content with losing the homecoming for us, for they took a stronger grip on the team. This scourge had the squad at its most depleted state during the Geneseo and Mendota games, at which the Hub- lets went down to defeat before these two teams by scores of 33 to 0, and 19 to 0, respectively. After a week's rest the team got back to full strength, for the first time since the Belvidere game, and marched to a 13 to 7 victory over Rock Falls. The lightweight gridders, with six returning regulars- minus the mumps-should have a successful season next fall. The I-Iublets finished the season with a record of three wins and four losses. The team appreciates the hard work of their coach, Mr. Skoglund, who tried so valiantly to over- come the deficit caused by the mumps.

Don gets the tip-oi? against Amboy. Except for the loss of John Hartman, the 1948 basektball squad returned with appproximately the same strength as of the previous season. Rochelle joined the North Central Con- ference this year and here they found the opposition was con- siderably stronger and the going much more difficult as they clashed with several schools much larger than their own. In spite of this fact, the Hubs lost only one contest on their own floor, a heartbreaker to Hall township. Early in the season the Rochelle team found the going easy, as they conquered in turn Mt. Morris. Sycamore, Polo and Oregon. On December 12 they traveled to Princeton where the Conference title holders handed them their first defeat of the year by a score of 30 to 43. During the Christmas holidays the Hubs entered the DeKalb Holiday tournament where they upset a favorite Proviso team by a score of 32 to 22 in the opening round. They fol- lowed this up by defeating a strong East Aurora team in the last few seconds of the game to win by a margin of 34 to 30. In the following round they were taken out of the competi- tion by West Rockford. The month of January gave Rochelle a string of victories over DeKalb, Sycamore, Sterling, Amboy, Geneseo, and Polo. Three of these, Sterling, DeKalb and Geneseo were Confer- ence games. Only loss during this period was a free-fouling game at Mendota with the Hubs on the short end of a 46-51 score. The Hubs led the game for nearly three quarters when they lost four of their regulars on fouls and a sudden last quarter scoring spurt gave Mendota the victory.

Conference With a starting lineup of two sophomores and three fresh- men, Rochelle's lightweight cagers opened their season by turning back Mt. Morris by a score of 34 to 22. The Hublets continued their season successfully in winning 14 out of 21 games. In conference competition the Hublets finished with a S and 4 record to rank flfth. They won their first four games before bowing to Princeton 36 to 16 in the initial con- ference game. After a lapse of three weeks during Christmas vacation, the Hublets beat DeKalb after a battle 28 to 27. The Hublets had a mid-year slump losing three straight games before win- ning seven in a row. It was during this winning streak that perhaps the most thrilling game of the year was played. Ro- chelle was two points behind Dixon with three seconds re- maining when Buddy Cooper scored a basket to force the game into an overtime. During the overtime Rochelle outscored Dixon 8 to 6 to cinch the victory 36 to 34. The winning basket was scored by Justin Henry. In the last scheduled game of the year, Ottawa suppressed a last quarter Hublet rally to win 27 to 18. Rochelle lost to Dundee and Belvidere in the lightweight Invitational Tourney at Belvidere by scores of 45-21 and 38-36 respectively. In the free throw contest, Justin Henry ranked fourth among the entire varsity and lightweight squads. While some of the members will graduate to the heavyweight squad next year, there should still be an excel- lent nucleus of experienced men around which to build a for- midable team for next year. Mel tries to prevent Mt. Morris from making a basket. With fighting efforts like these the Hubs win over East Aurora.

Page Sixty-two I947 Tennis Season 'KGame, set, and match was the familiar cry on the asphalt courts of Rochelle Township High School last spring as the Hubs participated in inter- scholastic tennis for the first time since 1943. After this lapse of four years the Hubs did remarkably well, breaking even in eight matches and losing only to the large schools of East and West Rockford. The Rochellites won their opening match against Sterling. Following this they lost two straight, the first to East Rockford, the second to West Rock- ford. The Hubs then got back on the right side of the win-lose column by turning back Belvidere and Sterling in successive matches. In the district meet the Rochelle racquet boys failed to qualify anyone for the state meet. The Hubs whipped Belvidere for the second time before running into the two Rock- ford teams again for the final matches of the year. Hartman and Kunde, and Hunt and Smith were Coach Helm's doubles teams, while Hartman, An- derson, Kunde, Maxson, Landis, and Meling took care of the singles. John Hartman was chosen honorary captain for the year. He was the only man on the team to win matches against the powerful Rockford team. Several of the boys on the team witnessed a professional tennis match held at the Rockford Country Club after the season was over. With two returning lettermen and several promis- ing prospects, Coach Helms expects to do a thriv- ing business winning tennis matches this year.

Page Sixty-ihree A Homecoming cheer from the theatre stage. The Hubs receive a formation cheer. They Lead the Parade's We got the coach, team, pep, steam! Coach Ellis and the Hubs certainly provide us with the coach and the team, but it's the cheerleaders who furnish the pep and steam that are so vital to the success of the team. A game wouldn,t be a game if there were no cheerleaders to smilingly lead the fans in their enthusiastic backing of the team. This year the cheerleaders, sponsored by Miss Johnson, were for the first time chosen by the students and the faculty. In their newly formed club, they met after school every Monday and Thursday for the purpose of acquiring rhythm and grace in their movements, making up new cheers for the fans, and planning the numerous pep assemblies which were held throughout the year. Spurred on by the efforts of cheerleaders, both the fans and the team build up the school spirit for which Rochelle is so well-known.
