At last we have arrived at the end of our four year voyage. Many memorable excursions have been taken by us sailors. As K g, we remember the party the sophomores gave us when we were timid freshmen. The evening was spent playing games at their Carnival, Later that year we gave them a Saint Patricks Day party. Remember how Mr. Hills even had to have a special locker cleaning period so that we freshmen could clean our lockers? After a year of experience we gained our sea-legs. The boys spent more time with the football dummies than they did with the girls. Our Kick-OH party for the freshmen was a huge success. Remember how the Latin students moaned after their semester exams? We never did find out who let the frogs loose in biology class! we look through our lo' Next came the year during which we picked out our class rings. Most of the year was spent planning our prom, The Dixieland Ball. Wlietlier or not to have the log cabin: who was going to build the well: how to keep the false walls from tearingg where to get the furniture: and how to make pillars were some of the maior problems of the prom. Putting the lace on the programs and printing the invitations were some of the other projects. After these things were settled, the prom was a huge success. Finally we became seniors and ruled the school at last. How brave we thought we were to be able to skip school and not get caught, although a few of us found out we could get caught. More memories Page Lyle and Don debate on the size of their senior pictures, while Roy orders his. ll Successful Qour-year Ifayage crowd our final year. There was the once planned sltip-day, the final football and basketball games, the prom, the party we gave the juniors, the senior ban- quet, and preparations for graduation. Our ahle sailors who received awards for their outstanding athletic achievements were Paul Caron, llackett Trophy for footballg XVarren XVehner, llonorary lfoothall Captain, Denny McCarthy, Hac- lwlt Trophy for h.isketh.1llg and XVarren XY'ehner, llonorary llaslsetlwall Captain. Capable 'l'hespians Herman W'illnis, Kalah Roeder, Sally Cfolwill, lflinor lleron. lfaith Sage, Peggy Oakes, and Melvin lloesten kept us entertained during shore leave. liolw llates, Margaret ljfoff, lflinor Heron, Bill Purvis, Dennis Helfer, Wallace Timm, Lois Smith, Sally Colwill, Darlene Gruben, and Melvin xloesten helped provide the music for our voyages. As we gathered in the study hall prior to the grand march toward the end of our long voyage, the first mates of our ship received their silver and gold awards. lt was truly a fitting graduation for the sailors of the ship of 1950. The last page in our log is our will and testament. The most important thing we will to the next class of seniors is to have as exciting a voyage as we had during our four years aboard the vessel R.T.H.S. For preparing us for the greater voyage ahead we want to thank our able sponsor, Miss Leflingwell, and all the others who have helped to make this such a fruitful voyage. The photographer, with Bob's help, poses Don for his Tatler picture. Miss Leffingwell measures Anne for her cap and gown while Wfayne, W.Il'l'Cl1,.lI1tl Barb await their ILll'll.

Page 16 ,Yun Drs Make Plans far ,flzfatlzcr year ' Voyage Let us pause a few minutes before we enter the gaily decorated gymnasium and join the other juniors at the prom to look back on our voyage of the past year. Soon after the ringing of the bell which called us back to school, class elections were held. The ofiicers we chose to represent our class were Malcolm Bush- nell, Francis Montgomery, Joyce Vfadey, -Ioan Sarver, and Dick Palmer. Then came the football season. There were twelve junior boys on the heavyweight team. Other members of the class sold hot dogs at the games and mums at Homecoming in order to earn money for the prom. We also checked coats at the basketball games. Four more juniors were admitted to Jesters this year. They were Bob Lang, Fred Morris, Gerry Govig, and Katy Helley. Out of the eight juniors now in this club, three participated in the annual jesters' plaly. The seniors welcomed us into the ranks of upper- elassmen at a party given in the study hall on October 15. We wish to thank them for the wonder- ful time they gave us. Several members of our class were on the honor roll this year. In fact, one-third of the students composing the honor roll were juniors. U t I Some of the junior couples enjoy the Camera Club Valentine party. Page 17 Ronnie receives the bad news at the end of the six weeks. The four junior boys who played on the varsity basketball team did much to spur the team to victory. The athletes among our junior girls also made a good showing in basketball by winning the intramural basketball championship. Our final proof to the other classes that we were now upper-classmen was our class rings which arrived right after Christmas. The crest was a gold R placed on a black background. Four gold bars on each side represented our four years in school. There will always be a place in every junior's mem- ory for the parties he attended during the school year. Remember the slumber parties, the Halloween party, the New Years party, the skating party, and the many other activities at which we had so much fun? Now here it is almost the end of the school year. The orchestra is about to play the music for the first dance of the prom so let's go in. As we walk through the white gates, we are greeted by the sweet aroma of the roses. Everywhere there are roses climbing up toward the ceiling. As we dance, the white picket fences, the trees, and the small, sky-blue ponds remind us of walking through a park on a warm summer day. Before the last dance is ended, we would like to say, Thank you, to our sponsor, Miss Happe, who has done so much to make our prom the best ever.

When the doors opened for the Sophomores on September 7, they were prepared for a long and busy year. It started with the gala party Back to School , welcoming all freshmen. The center of attraction for the freshmen was the little red school house in the center of the dance floor with a fence of leaves around it. Miss Wolf, our adviser, who worked hard to make it a success, was presented with a corsage of roses during the evening. With help from all the committees and Chuck Barnes as Master of Ceremonies, the party was a great success. Class elections threw our class into the midst of a real political battle. ln a close race, Dick Motlong was the victor over Dick Carter, by one vote. Miss Marcum's sophomore advisory group was the highest salesmen for the second consecutive year in the Curtis Magazine Drive. Miss I-Iappe's group ran a close second. Dick Carter, who was the high salesman boy of the whole school in his freshmen year, is again our high salesman for the sophomore year. Carol Quitno received an Oscar for high class salesgirl. To climax our busy and social year the freshmen entertained us with a St. Patrick's Day party. The theme was in green and white, and everyone had a very enjoy- able evening. Last but not least we wish to thank Miss Wolf for helping and guiding us throughout the year. swf lflF'l'H ROVV: Marion Long, Margaret Smith, Whtyne Mickley, Bob I-frhes, Corlon lfaton, Aloe Larson, Ronnie Rand, -Ian Frisch, .lim Orner, llill Stocking, .Ioanne Lower, Clara Smith.

Everytime we turned around there was a junior or senior sailor waiting to initiate us. Fortunately, we were able to survive these ordeals and enter the sch00l's busy year of activities. On September 24, the sophomores entertained us at .1 party with back-to-school as the theme. We gave them a successful St. Patrick's party on March 18.

HILLS At the helm of our ship is our chief navigator, Mr. A Hills. Though he had to retire to the dryer regions of Arizona for three months to regain his health, the good ship, Rochelle, was held on an even course bv his first mate, Mr. Wehner. Mr. Hills deserved a restg for during the summer, under his direction, our school doubled its present boundaries by school election. As a result, the financial condition of our school district is one of the best in the state, and our school tax rate is the lowest in the county. Under his guidance. our educational program has been expanded until it ranks with the best. Our crew wishes to thank and commend Mr. Hills for the excellent planning and guidance which has made BOARD OF EDUCATION A ship needs a board of directors to do the behind-thfn scene planning in order to keep it running smoothly. The responsibility for the long range planning of our school lies with the school board. One of the major prob- lems which faced the board was the coal shortage. Through the continuous efforts of this group, our school was able to remain open when many other schools had to close. During the summer of 1949 the school board, with our journey a smooth sailing excursion. Mr. Hills interviews jack Manning as graduation draws near. the help of Mr. Hills, conducted two school elections which nearly doubled the territory of our high school district. During the fall the school board entertained the faculty and their wives at a dinner held at the White Pines Lodge. Later, the faculty in turn, enter- tained the school board members and their families at a dinner party held at the Nelson Hotel in Rockford. These expressions of good will helped to strengthen the bond of friendship which exists between the board and the school personnel. Claude Holmes, Vernon Smith, Dr. C. H.

At this point a tackle by Chuck Barnes staved off a Sycamore score but they again gained possession of the ball and finally carried it to the one- foot line. At this critical instant time ran out and Rochelle was able to claim a 6-6 victory. Lady Luck seemed to have deserted the hapless Hub- lets in the remaining three games with Mendota, Rock lfalls, and Spring Valley for they were unable to score a single point. The Rochelle eleven added to the high spirits of Homecoming by defeating a fast Princeton team 13 to 7. Tom Dicus splashed through for the first Rochelle talley. Rochelle scored again in the third quarter when Bill Daubs carried the ball for pay dirt. Princeton scored on a blocked Rochelle punt. ln the last game of the season the Hublcts traveled to Geneseo where they came out on the short end of a 7 to 19 score. At the end of the season the players were guests at the annual football banquet sponsored by the Rotary Club. Bill Daub was named Honorary Captain by his team- mates in recognition of his outstanding work through- out the season. IINIQ: C. Barnes, end: D. Motlong, tackle: ll.

Under the direction of their new skipper, Coach Skoglund, the Hubs finished a successful season by tieing for third place in the conference and winning the Men- dota Holiday Tournament. The season record showed a total of IS wins and 7 losses. The chief disappoint- ment of the year came when a twice defeated Oregon team knocked the Hubs out of the Regional Tourna- ment. In the opener, the Hubs defeated Sycamore. but suffered a defeat themselves at the hands of a tall Belvi- dere team. The Hubs were barely nosed out in the final second by a margin of one point. The Rochelle quintet had little difficulty in defeating Polo, Oregon and Dixon. In the Dixon match, our first conference game, Mc- Carthy led the scoring with 14 points and Stroud followed with 13. This was one of the best team-work games of the season. Hopes were high when the Rochelle five met the strong Ottawa team which later finished first in the conference. ln a thrilling com :back in the fourth quarter our boys forged ahead for the first time in the game but were unable to hold this advantage and lost 42-32. The Hubs were tripped thre: times in a row by Sycamore, Sterling, and DeKalb. Tension ran high as a capacity crowd watched the DeKalb boys out-manuever the Hubs, 46-36. The Hub's last quarter spurt of 16 points brought the crowd to its feet but it wasn't enough to close the margin. The only trophy for the season was won at the Men- dota Tournament. Rochelle easily defeated Amboy but had rough going when they were unable to click against Rock Falls. The Hubs trailed from the Hrst whistle until the last two minutes of the game when they finally pull- ed ahead to win by one basket. D. Meiiarthy M. Bushnell L. Skoglund Al. lfrisch D.

Two years ago as freshmen, they surprised the other classes by capturing the title. This year as juniors, they defeated the sophomores in the last game for the championship. Both teams had been undefeated up to that time. Although a few minor tragedies such as scratches, pulled hair and black eyes fsee Carol Hills for evidencej tended to stir up the primitive emotions, the intramurals were a grand success and were enjoyed by all. Besides providing plenty of exercise for the girls, intramurals furnished many lessons in good sportsmanship. The captains of the teams were as follows: Barbara Durso, juniors, Louise Caron, sophomores, Joan Harri- son, seniors, and Evelyn Sarver, freshmen: Intramurals were played on Monday nights under the sponsorship of Miss Johnson. BOYS' INTRAMURALS Eighty boys reported for the city and country league basketball intramurals this year. Ten teams were entered in competition. This year a slight change was made in the selection of the coaches and a non-league player was chosen by each team for representation. Mighty Michigan was the top team of the year. After winning the city championship by a large margin it went on to take the all-school title. They were able to finish the season with a record of twelve wins and no losses. First place in the country league was won by the Bears. They placed second for the school title. The second place city league team, Illinois had to settle for a third place rating in the finals. The Rams, with a second place in the country league, failed to win any of the final games and were awarded fourth place. Because of an error in the posting of the tournament results th: picture of the Rockets was used in place of the Rams.

Sometimes even the stalT is perplexed. Ifirst, work starts on designing lay-outs. We usually have to change them two or three times before they are completed. Then we start working on a theme. We ponder for weeks on it. At the last moment someone exclaims, I.et's make it a ship. Next the theme I11LlSt be made to fit the five division pages. At last we vote on it and the ship comes sailing through. About this time we land that there is not enough money for padded covers. This problem is solved by having a dance. We prepare for it by making posters and decorating the study hall. The night arrives and a big crowd assures us of having padded covers.

MARCHING BAND Gee, it's cold! Boy, my hands are about frozen! These were just a few of the usual comments of the marching band members as they practiced on the foot- ball field during the cold autumn mornings. These stu- dents entertained football fans between halves with lively music, peppy marching and new formations. Leading our band this year was Paul Boltz, our new drum major. Again this year, the band traveled to DeKalb to participate in the DeKalb Teachers College Homecoming festivities. This was a new and exciting experience for the new members of our organization. Last year we climaxed our marching season with an excursion to Harvard where we helped celebrate Harvard Milk Day. We also marched in the Rochelle Armistice Day parade. Rochelle is very proud of the new uniforms which were purchased for the band late last year. Standing: Donna Viutton, Paul liultv, Carol Corwin. Kneeling: Donna Campbell, Berla Landau.

GERMAN BAND The German Band was an unpredictable group under the direction of maestro Wally Timm, which livened up the halves of the basketball games with its loud and flashy costumes and waltzes with Miss Johnson. How about a cherry pie, maestro? Who did finally clean the floor, Wally? But all in all, even if we didn't know what to expect next, we certainly did enjoy the German Band and will be looking forward to their performances next year. We were proud of having the twirlers with us at the football games and at the halftime periods of basketball games. They performed ably and added color and zip to the band. Then our six twirlers went strutting off to contests. We congratulate Helen and Berla, soloists, and Berla and Jeannie, a team, for receiving first place honors.

Don Campbell, our band secretary, has heard many an excuse for being late to band. This year our band otlicers have become much more active than in the past. Bill Purvis, the president, has had the job of excusing the band after rehearsals. Margaret Pfoff has been handling the finances for the year. Paul Boltz, vice-president, has always been on hand in case of Bill's absence. The band is now planning to have two exchange con- certs with other schools. It will give the members musi- cal experience, and an excused absence from school, and fahemj maybe provide the girls with an opportuntiy to meet some new boys. On November 19, the band of R.T.H.S. was host for the N. C. I. C. band concert. Only a select group of musicians from each school was chosen to participate in this event.

These were the cries heard echoing through the halls on Tuesdays and Thursdays as the orchestra assembled for practice. The orchestra opened its season by furnishing music for the play, No Nllfay Out. During the holiday season the orchestra furnished music for a Christmas program given by the Wol11en's Club. Nine members of the Rochelle orchestra rose very early on February 25 to journey to the Orchestra Festi- val held at Geneseo. They were part of an all school 170 piece orchestra. These musicians gave a program before the high school assembly in March and displayed their musical talents in a similar program at the Grade School that same afternoon. In January the members began practicing hard in preparation for the district contest. The group won a second place rating in this event.

Eleven successful candidates were finally picked. When the day of informal initiation came, they were seen around the halls wearing their clothes backwards. ln the evening they assembled at the park where the old members gave the new ones a picnic supper and hayride. Iformal initia- tion was held later in the auditorium. During one meeting they practiced putting make-up on each other. However, this meeting proved there were no future Max Factors in jesters. -Iesters represented Rochelle very well in contest work. Kalah Roeder, Mary Hills, Joanne Mott, Karna lickberg, and Barbara Helms participated in the district speech contest held at Rochelle. Mary won first and Karna third at district which enabled them to go to sectionals at West Rockford. There Karna got a second: so she was able to travel to Champaign where the state speech contest was held. Karna won a sixth at state. Rochelle was also the scene of the district one-act play contest. Six girls of .Iesters presented the play Idols with which they received a first place rating. However, Lady Luck didn't travel with the play cast to West Rockford where the sectionals were held. There they failed to place in the top three. In the spring the .Iesters and their guests enjoyed themselves at a skating party. Members of the club were always ready and willing to give readings, skits, and plays so that they could earn a few extra points which would bring them closer to becoming a Thespian.

'l'he play centered around Paul llolty, who played Ur. Niles Hilliard. He played the part of a hypocrite. XVhile being .i respectable doctor, he was involved in business deilings in which he needed money. To get this he pl.in- ned to slowly let Barbara Trent, his rich step-daughter. die.

Some people think one goes to the library to visit with his bust friend, but really the library is one of the quietest rooms in the school. This is due to ten girls who devote .i period .t day to helping in the library under Nliss Greenawalt's supervision. They c.in be seen any time of the day putting away books, mending cards, taking inventory, or just helping the students find reference books and m.1ga7ines. If any one ever has an overdue book just beware of those ten student librarians. One of the things we enjoy most about the library is Miss Green.1walt's clever bulletin boards. How could any of us ever forget her fat little Santa Claus at Cfhristrnas time or her b.u'gain line week just before seinssters. One of her signs read: '4 otli of all lines if the book is returned by the end of the week. ln this way she lured scrne ot the pennypinchers in to pay up back fines. Her displays also included poetry written by her lfnglish classes, paper book covers taken from the lalest books and .i map pointing out .ill colleges and universities in the state of Illinois. The seniors were especially interested in a whole rack of college reference books. The seniors can look forward to a better voyage through life due to the advantage of our educational library. i 1 v Paul points out the college hed like to attend.
