School Board Each successful orchestra needs a good backing, and we have this backing through the school board. The Board is the organization which meets difficulties that confront the school. In their meetings on the third Monday of each month with Mr. Hills, they solve such problems as: the shortage of teachers, the increase of costs, and formation of a school calendar. This year the Board can especially be commended for its splendid work in helping to uniform our school band, and also for installing the new fluorescent lighting system in our classrooms. It is with deepest sincerity that we students express our appre- ciation to this deserving group-the Board of Education.

Chr Hzwducfzfrs of the Orchestra 4 Mr. Hills advises Duane Yetter on college requirements. Mr. Hills Every orchestra needs a leader. We, the students of Rochelle Township High School, feel we have a com- petent one. Mr. Hills has been patiently endeavoring to make our high school life a time that we will pleasantly remember in future years to come. Mr. Hills spends many long hours facing all the com- plications of a modern school-education, finances, trans- portation, etc., and meets these complications with true vision and wisdom. We, the students of Rochelle High School, respect- fully look up to Mr. Hills, our principal, for his keen interest and many services which give us a better place in which to work and live. Student Council The Student Council is the sounding board for stu- dent opinion. Its chief purpose is to inspire initiative in the student body. The Student Council did most of the planning for our successful Homecoming Wfeekend. The council can be acclaimed for the success of the bonfire, snake dance, and Homecoming Dance. In addition they sponsored numerous dances after the basketball games. The council purchased new records for the juke box in order to make these dances a larger success. They also allotted the funds going into such organizations as Tafler, R0-To-Hi-Life, and class dues. The students of R. T. H. S. wish to express their sincere thanks for the fine work of this representative group. STANDING: Luella Lazier, Mr. Hills, CAdviserj, Tom Dicus.
