Between the shy and timid eighth grader and the well experienced sophomore, there is a student known as a freshman. He is found in many places-running to, jump- ing over, and sliding down. A freshman comes in assorted sizes, weights, and shapes, but all have the same goal: to become a sopho- more. Parents love them, upperclassmen ignore them, teachers instruct them, janitors tolerate them, and coach- es reform them. No one is ever so hard to get to bed at night and so difficult to get up in the morning. No one else can lose a pencil, mislay a book, or get 6 into the wrong class as easily as a freshman. He likes food, telephones, radios, record players, television, dances, and sports Cin all formsj. He dislikes books without pic- tures, classical music, straight chairs, staying at home, lit- tle brothers, and homework. To the office force he is just a name that as yet has fulfilled only the requirement of enrolling. To the janitor he is a litter bug. To the bus driver-he is a giggling, sing- ing atomic bomb fjunior sizej, especially after school. To the coach, the freshman is a figure on which he can pin his hopes.

This bundle of energy is not easily discouraged and is l always looking toward future wins in baskteball and foot- ball. To win games the boys need cheering. Freshman make good cheerleaders. They are active and can always be heard above the crowd. Helping lead the cheers are Ro- berta Vaupel and Connie Stangley. Mary Hintzsche ex- presses her enthusiasm as a baton twirler. At homecoming the freshmen could not be outdone. They chose Roberta Vaupel for queen attendant. These energetic creatures need good leadership, for this they chose class officers, president, Eddie Wrightg vice-president, Allen Cooper, secretary, Lyle Headon, and . treasurer, Gary Gustafson. Freshman Harold Hanson placed second in magazine sales. Although the freshmen weren't top salesmen, they were top gum chewers.

Info the Swing af Uzings A freshman is a magical creature. You can restrict him, but you can't dampen his enthusiasm for school ac- tivities.

A sophomore is a proud and dignified student who has survived the rigors of one whole year of school, has steeled himself to the thought of having to dissect frogs, and has accepted the responsibility of having to be able to spell sophomore, A sophomore can never be confused with a freshman because a sophomore not only knows where he is going, but also has suggestions to offer about where the rest of the world is going. He can no longer be called the very lowest lower-classman because now he has reached a higher step-the upper lower-classman. He apparently has adopted as his personal motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. A sophomore is a name on the permanent record. A student is not considered a sophomore until he has earned at least 3M credits. Wfhen he has attained this glorified status, a whole world of electives opens before him. Al- though he is required to take English, physical education, and some kind of science, he could choose from such an interesting array as geometry, Latin, French, typing, home economics, and shop courses. What he chooses is deter- mined considerably by what his future plans are. Taking specialized achievement tests and talking with the guid- ance counselors help him appraise himself and make his decisions. l3 TOP ROW: Mr. Yenerich fadvisorj, David Divine, James Boehle, Bill Brown, Wayne Bunger, Dan Boehle, Jerry Carson, Wal- ter Atkinson, David Anderson, John Bonclan, and Mr. Curl fadvisorj.

Saphamares Often Wonder The sophomore is a studious soul. He takes great stacks of books home and brings them back every day. fUnless they are library books, in which case he cannot bear to part with them and eventually pays huge fines for his af- fections.j If he appears to daydream in study hall, he is actually deep in complex thought about how he will feel when he carves the first initials into the moon's surface. If he runs noisily down the corridors, it is only because he is so eager to get to his next class. If his report card comes back a battered mess, it is only because he proudly showed it to so many people. Sophomores are creatures noted for their wise decisions. Their ability was reflected when in September, 164 mem- bers strong, they held their annual election of officers. Boy, this is really good, says the hamster as Sue Crocker feeds it its daily meal. They chose Bob Withrow as president, Connie Felt as vice-president, Dale Lamb as secretary, and Nancy Mc- j Queen as treasurer. They joined clubs, tried out for ath- letic teams, and emoted. Cheri Floyd played one of the leading roles in the Jester play and Dale Lamb was the high-stepping drum major for the marching band, great accomplishments for second-year students. Early in the year two of their number were injured. Vicki Magnusson was hospitalized for several weeks as the result of a corn-picking accident. Injured during scrim- mage, quarterback Tim Hayes was sidelined with a broken ankle. Sophomores are naturally big-brotherly. To start the freshmen out right, they planned an initiation party for them.

What is a junior? Some people might say a junior is a junior is a junior. There is more to a junior than just that. A junior is a name on many lists. He's a statistic. In Rochelle Township High School a junior is a per- son, boy or girl, who has anywhere from 7V2 to IIVZ credits. Although the junior year is the third year in high school for most, being here three years does not make one a junior. A junior is a person. He takes part in typically junior classes, such as chemistry, U. S. History, algebra II, and English III. A junior has finally reached the status of an upper- classman, a lower upper, true, nevertheless an upper- classman. As befits the honor, a junior takes on a more dignified attitude toward life in general. A distinguishing factor of a junior is the class ring which is kept shiny and bright by its proud ownerf The arrival of the class rings is always a long anticipated event.

' l Slsigtgcyfhile Sharon Brown picks up a few pointers on the Another way to identify a junior is by remembering the people who sold mums prior to homecoming. These people were, of course, juniors. This year's juniors were tremendous salesmen. They sold mums for sweethearts, mothers, and even grandmothers. juniors also had the concession stand at the home foot- ball games, and the cloak room at several home basket- ball games. The purpose of all these money-making projects was to raise money for the annual prom put on by the juniors in the spring. The junior year is a year for tests. Among these tests are the Illinois Statewide junior Test, which is required for all, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, and the , . National Merit Scholarship Test. juniors are well represented in the extracurricular ac- tivities. The junior year is the first year for many boys to be on the varsity squad in the various sports. junior girls are active in extracurricular activities also. Thirteen officers of the clubs to which girls belong are juniors. Five officers of the clubs to which boys belong are juniors. The juniors are beginning to take a more responsible part in high school life. They are made chairmen of var- ious committees which require a person who is reliable and trustworthy. juniors are taking a more serious interest in their school- work and grades. They are no longer the carefree, slap- happy freshmen and sophomores they were. To sum it all up a junior is like the sun on a winter's day, enough to bolster any0ne's morale.

To the underclassman a senior is witty, sophisticated, and infinitely intelligent. He seems to be the only one in school who knows where he is going, who has a purpose in life. He makes the honor roll more times than any other person, and best of all, he'll be out of school soon- er than anyone else. To the teacher the senior year is a time of change for the student. A senior begins to have a seriousness of pur- pose and a realization that if he doesnlt start working, he won't get anywhere. The senior has a better attitude to- ward study than any other person. In surveying himself, the senior tends to be critical. He begins to realize that he's actually not so smart as he thought he was. Instead of getting flustered, he gets down to business. He has more on his mind: grades, college, jobs, marriage, military training, and how he acted when he was an underclassman. He just can't seem to find enough time to get every- thing done. That's why he walks so determinedly with his eyes straight ahead. He's not a snob, he's thinking. To the world in general a senior is an in-between: he is not quite an adult, but surely he is not a child. He is like the Roman god Janus, able to look into both the past and the future. He is expected to choose his life's work welll, for the world of tomorrow is in the hands of the senior of today. 26 Left: The senior has a seriousness of purpose.

Named as section editors were seniors Judy Dyer and Wendy Clucas and juniors Sandra Sawicki and Roberta Lazier, They immediately proceeded to gain approval of a plan to enlarge the yearbook by adding four pages to the regular book and four pages to the summer supplement.

The next step was a refresher course in yearbook fun- damentals for returning staff members and a training program for freshmen and sophomores who wanted to join the staff. Following assignment of staff members the real work began: picture-planning, copywriting, layout designing, and picture-sizing and identification. Meanwhile Mr. Kruger and his students were progressing with the art- work. Did the 1960 Tatler staff achieve its goal? Only the in- dividual students can answer that question.

Each year the Art Club presents a reproduction of a well-known painting. 'Threshing Wheat, by Thomas Hart Benton, is this year's gift. Art Club members also took their annual field trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. This year the members again worked on their service project for the community. They created several large masonite panel paintings for downtown light post decora- tions during the Christmas season. .

The projectionists club is principally a service organi- zation, and is composed of students under the direction of Mr. Nelson. During the year the members learn how to operate the different types of audio-visual equipment: movie projectors, slide projectors, and tape recorders. They can then operate this equipment during their free periods for any teacher who wishes to use it in class work. Other activities include handling the cloakroom for a basketball game. The profits from this are used to buy more audio-visual equipment. jim Fenelon, Ed Fenwick, and jim Wolfe work hard at learning the fundamentals of running audio-visual equipment.

This means three things: learning to take pic- tures, learning to develop the film, and learning to print the pictures. This year camera club members are taking pictures of school activities. They then develop the film, print the pictures, and show them in the display case of the physics room. These pictures are then sold to anyone who wants them. This gives the members plenty of practice in photographic skills as well as making money for the club. This year part of camera club work is being devoted to learning how to take pictures through a microscope. Close-up photography is another phase of picture taking that members are working on this year. TOP ROW: Jeff Quitno, Lanny Stone, jack Grennan, Larry Hagerty, and Cliff Moses.

With Winter Formal, Spaghetti supper, Heart Sister Week, Hobo day, Coffee Hour, and the F.H.A.-F.F.A. party they hardly had time to breathe. They did take a time ou-t for their Christmas card sell though. This year the girls were very happy to surpass the sales of all previous years with a record breaking S2000 worth of cards and novelties being sold. The profits will be used for the group's annual trip to Chicago in the spring. All of the girls seemed to be trying very hard this year for the award given annually that is called the Girl of the Year award.

A membership drive at the beginning of the year boosted the club's size to almost double the number of mem- bers it had last year. The main project of F.T.A. this year, giving teachers at the high school help, gave each member a chance to see that teaching is made up, in part, of grading and filing papers, and keeping rooms attrac- tively decorated! In addition to this, the club attended the annual fall and spring workshops, held its cus- tomary parents' night, and took charge of one school dance and sev- eral checkrooms. Each year the club tries to add something new for its program. This year the members devised a point system. The points thus earned gave many members a chance to participate in special club ac- tivities. Carolyn Correll helps Mrs. Thomas.

I've found my energy peak! And so it must have been with more than just the cast of The Little Dog Laughed-for many people braved the first snow storm of the year to see Laurie Huntington, a pretty sophomore majoring in psychology, who came home from college, and immediately started psycholo- gizing her younger brother . . . psychoanalyzing a taxi- dermist-ornithologist . . . insisting that her family seek their Energy Peaks by taking temperatures every hour . . . and throwing the entire neighborhood into a turmoil with her Zombrowski Ink Blot Test! However, the efforts of the Jesters neither started nor stopped with their fall play, November 13. Prior to the play, they held one of the largest fund raising dances ever held at R.T.H.S. They helped to improve school spirit by selling pom poms at the basketball games. Everyone who attended the Variety Review in January couldn't help noticing all the talented Jesters who helped to make it a tremendous success. But, it wasn't all work for the club members, as those who had earned at least five points during the year were among the excited group that left early one spring day to see a play in Chicago. Tom Johnson and Cheri Floyd are studying lines from Lit- tle Dog Laughed while Miss Honnette beams with joy from the sidelines. The Halloween Harvest sponsored by the Jesters proved to be a great success.

The snappy Rock Falls 'Rockettesl' furnished Hub cheerleaders with some keen f?j leaping competition as the Beat- nik Band set the mood with swinging rhythm, and the students cheered as Coaches Correll and Skoglund gave their fiery speeches. Hub spirits couldn't be dampened despite a 39-12 loss at the hands of the Rockets on a rain-lashed field. During the half, both alumni and students were treated with the Marching Band's display of its pre- cision and skill. At long last suspense was snapped as the King, Queen, and Court were presented and wheeled around the field amid a burst of applause. The 85rd Homecoming celebration was climaxed by the Student Council-sponsored dance, 1876- Homecoming-1959. After their coronation, the Court danced for the King and Queen to the music of the Rhythmaires.

Because Hub machinery wasn't producing victory, the Correllmen completely switched offensive patterns in mid- season. After a long, uphill struggle, the team began to move, winning two of its last three games and losing the third by only three points. Although bowing to a powerful Sycamore club, the Hubs gave the undefeated Little Eight Champs a battle, scoring more points against the Spartans than any other team. Statistically, Rochelle outplayed Mendota's Trojans, but the scoreboard told another tale. The Hubs were contin- ually stopped by a series of fumbles, penalties, incomplete and intercepted passes. Outrushing the Trojans, Hub gridders gained close to 200 yards, and the hard-charging line enabled them to cop 14 first downs. The Hubs then chalked up two consecutive victories with impressive displays of both offense and defense, trouncing Hall's Red Devils 27-6 and nipping the Prince- ton Tigers 7-0. Rochelle, led by tough blocking, broke'the Hall game wide open as the Hubs led 21-0- at half-time, while Princeton wasn't allowed to advance past the Ro- chelle 34-yard line. Wrapping up the 1959 grid season, the Hubs lost to Belvidere 9-6. Their passing attack hampered by Hub defense, the Bucs won on a field goal, unusual in high school play. I Pacing Hub defense by scoring 37 points and scam- pering 862 yards for an average of 8.6 yards per carry, fullback Hetzel was the first Hub to be selected one of the top 44 Illinois gridders by the Chicago Daily News, while Ellis and Divine received Honorable mention. Het- zel and Ellis were Special Commendation choices on the Champaign Gazette All-State poll, while Ellis was chosen as All-Northern Illinois Outstanding Commendation. All- Conference selections were Hetzel, first team, and Ellis, second.

Although the Hublets did not turn in an impressive season, they used a tricky play known as the flea-flick- er. Developed by Bob Zuppke of the University of Illi- nois, the flea-flicker is a jump pass to either end with an immediate lateral to the fast-breaking halfback. As the Hublets took the field against the Sycamore Spartlets in their first game of the season, they were jit- tery. With one touchdown in each half the Spartlets held An attempted point after touchdown stopped by a wall of tacklers cost the little Hubs a 7-6 loss to Harlem of A tough Rock Falls frosh-soph racked up 26 winning The famed flea-flicker worked twice on the Geneseo Rochelle scored first against the little Princeton Tigers but lost by a margin of 7-6. The only Hublet score came in the first quarter on C1ark's 60-yard run. Princeton came roaring back in the second quarter to make it 7-6. The rest of the game was a punting duel. The Hublets put an attack together but stalled on the 8-yard line. The luckless Hublets again played good ball but tied Belvidere 18-18. Larry johnson thrilled the crowd with a brilliant kickoff return for a touchdown. Tobler and Divine were elected co-captains.

The lone bright spot in the Holiday Tourney saw the Hubs defeat Oregon 66-38 as they lost to St. Charles 37- 48 and Shabbona 60-69. The rest of the season followed a see-saw pattern as the team alternately won and lost. Their conference record of 5-6 placed them sixth in the NCI Conference. Again trouncing the Huskies, this time 63-48, the Hubs then bowed to the DeKalb Barbs, 46-61. A split- second basket by Gustafson won the season thriller, a 61-61 overtime conference game with Rock Falls. The Hubs went on to whip Sycamore's Spartans, 71-58. The varsity finished the season in whirlwind style, blast- ing Mt. Morris 90-59, Mendota 77-59, and Hall 68-58- Denny Onley sunk a spectacular sudden-death shot from behind the halfway line at the halftime of the Mendota game, and at Hall, senior forward Loren Furman dropped in 25 points, including 15 of 15 free throws. His free throw average of .750 earned him the Hall Free Throw Trophy for the second straight year, an honor no other Hub has ever captured. This team worked together better and with less fric- tion than any other team I've ever coached, and I've been coaching for 13 years, Mully commented. I rotated sen- iors and juniors often to give the upcoming boys varsity experience, but there was no interclass rivalry.

Hublets Past Szkzling 556151714 Coach Erwin's sizzling squad gave their fans something to cheer about this year, racking up 16 wins and only five losses for the best season total in recent Hublet history. Their conference record of eight wins and three defeats was good enough for fourth place. Sophomore Gary Gunn, the only regular to return from the '59 squad, suffered a knee injury in the first half of the first game of the season, a 34-26 win over Harlem. But two freshmen, Dave Snyder and Dave Wickness, de- veloped into reliable four-quarter regulars for the Hublets. With sophomores Steve Hopkins, jerry Tobler, and Dave Hermann to provide balance, the team won their first three before dropping a disappointing game to West Rock- ford, 44-62. After winning two more, the Hublets just Weren't in it as they suffered a sickening 34-64 loss to Ottawa. Then they got back on the win trail to take nine of their last 11 games in the regular season. The Hublets figured in two double overtime, or sud- den death, games that featured all the suspense of an old-time melodrama. The first was a 44-42 thriller over Sycamore with Tobler sinking the winning bucket. The second was against Mendota in the Hublets' final game. They came from behind in a blazing fourth quar- ter. Regular play ended with a 53-53 tie. In the last two seconds of the first overtime, Tobler sank two free throws for a 59-59 tie. The gym was alive with sound as the ref- eree put the ball into play for the sudden death period. Every fan knew that the team that took the tip-off would probably take the game. And that's what happened: Ro- chelle got the ball, Tobler scored the clinching points, 61-59, and the fans gave the plucky Hublets a rafter-rat- tling ovation. 78 Tobler scored 26 points that night for a Hublet season record. The victory was an especially sweet one, since this same Mendota squad had bumped Rochelle, 40-53, in the Rock Falls Tourney. Close games were a Hublet specialty. They figured in eight games in which the difference between a win and a loss was only three field goals or six free throws. In six of those the margin was three, or fewer, points.

This was one of their best records in several seasons. In tournament play, however, the Hubs' record wasn't as shining as they finished seventh out of nine teams at the conference meet held at Sterling and fifteenth out of sixteen at the Sterling Invitational.

The center of activity is the Board of Education, whose conscientious members work hard to provide the community with a superior educa- tional system. Their right-hand man is Super- intendent Leroy R. Peterson, who does a year-round job of trying to improve the conditions under which R.T.H.S. students learn. His assistant, Mr. Harold F. Maris, is a versatile man-assistant principal, guidance counselor, and teacher. An office staff of Doris and De- loris Bosecker and Rosemary Reed handle secretarial work for the ad- ministration as well as for the fac- ulty. They do everything from typ- ing tests to operating a lost and found department. The high school that the student sees appears complex to him.

This statement may sound confusing until one measures it against a specific instance. Consider the 42 members of the Rochelle Township High School faculty, for example. From different sections of the country, from different economic, social, political, and religious backgrounds, from educational institutions that criss-cross the nation, they have brought their ideals, interpretations, and cultural traits. Superintendent Leroy Peterson says, In selecting fac- ulty members we bear in mind the fact that the totality of the effect that the teacher has upon his student is the sum of many things. How well the teacher presents the subject matter of his course is extremely important, natu- rally, but it is only one of the contributions the teacher of- fers the learner. Day to day contact with teachers who represent different schools of thought and a wealth of varying experiences has a widening effect upon the stu- dent's intellectual world. In pin-pointing these diversities, let's begin with the geographic factor. Although most faculty members are Mid-Westerners by birth, they have lived and taught in a variety of states including Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Penn- sylvania, South Dakota, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. In their restless search for education, formal and in- formal, they have traveled the length and breadth of con- tinental United Statesg through Hawaii, Mexico, Canada, in England and on the continent of Europe. fAt least 12 of the group have a record of military service and, con- sequently, additional travel at the request of the federal government.j At Rochelle, master's degrees are the rule rather than 90 Left: Lunch is a popular subject taken by teachers too. Below: The photographer catches physi- cal education instructors Luhtala and Correll discussing procedure for Wed- nesday's co-rec class. the exception, with over 95fk of the faculty members al- ready having such a degree or working toward it. Al- though there are no doctorates, at least one teacher is little more than a dissertation away from a doctoral degree. Other teachers take advantage of summer institutes to keep them up-to-date on such rapidly changing phases of their subject area as the biological effects of fall-out or the latest methods of teaching written composition. Another unique feature of the faculty is the diversity of work experience it brings to Rochelle Township High School. Although they now concentrate on the education of young people, these educators have among them suc- cessful businessmen, farmers, secretaries, a union carpen- ter, a union electrician, a commercial artist, and a pro- fessional baseball player. The faculty members' ages range from 22 to 60, with the average from 50 to 45. The reason for this average is that Rochelle Township High School tries to hire only experienced teachers, then offer them salaries, teaching loads, and freedom to teach that will induce them to re- main. Fewer than IOZQ of the present faculty members joined the staff as first year teachers. Last year only one teacher resigned to seek employment elsewhere. Previous experience includes teaching in private schools, colleges, rural schools, military academies, and even in the United States Signal Corps. Previous experience includes teaching in private schools, ment: From diversity comes unity. Although Rochelle's teachers are so completely differentf from one another in place of birth, background, and education, they are united in the one supreme effort of teaching today's youth how to live better in this complex world. BUS DRIVERS TOP ROW: Courtenay Nelson, LaVerne Krahenbuhl, Leslie Springmire, Grant Brown, Corlon Eaton. BOTTOM ROW: joe Gavin, Leslie Montgomery, Dick Krahenbuhl. I mff . . . lgavkbrfue :ff Selma! Very few people ever stop to think of the work that is done by the bus drivers, custodians, and cafeteria personnel. Yet without them, the school could not possibly run. The bus drivers spend hours each day behind the wheel. Despite the nervous tension of having forty student lives resting on their driving skill during the day, these men often accept the additional responsibility of chauffeuring spectators to the out-of-town games. The various field trips throughout the year require their services, too. Imag- ine the miles of territory the bus drivers cover each year! The days preceding a school dance or play really give the custodians a headache. They stay at school long after their regular hours to open doors, track down stray lad- ders, and lock up the building after everyone has finally left. How many miles do they push their brooms over the school floors in one year? Exactly how many pounds of gum do they scrape from the bottoms of desks? The hot lunch program, sponsored by the school, is not intended to make money. However, with the aid given by the federal government a bottle of milk costing a dime uptown is sold for two cents in the cafeteria. The cafe- teria workers cook for hours to prepare the food served at the banquets and benefits throughout the year, besides the daily meals for the students. What would be a close estimation as to the number of cabbages they cut or po- tatoes they clean during each school year? Meals aren't the only concern of these women, they also wash and dry approximately nine hundred towels daily. All of these men and women put their countless hours of nervous tension, miles of walking, and hampers of soiled towels to excellent use. The proof of this statement is clearly visible in the school's smooth functioning.
