The school, as the symbol of education, never sleeps. Every hour of the day is devoted to the expansion of either the intellectual growth or' the character and personality development of the individual student. As a building, the schodl is seldom completely deserted. The before-class hours are filled with school activities-last minute preparations for assignments, extra- help sessions with a teacher, music lessons, counseling and advice periods. After school the faculty conducts its meetings, works with students, plansztstudents work on extra-credit projects, make up assignments, attend practice 'Even late into the night, the lights of the building shine, showing that someone is still at work.

Our fate appeared, just then, to depend on how well we mastered the tests. Two and one-half months later we went to register and obtain our books and schedules. How disappointed some of us were to find we had no classes with our closest friends! At the end of our eighth year, we had been given a subject sheet from which to choose our classes. Besides the courses available the year before, three new subjects were added to the program of studies. I suppose it was because we were more intellectual than any other class. Upperrlarrmenfr lawyer: Your honor, we object! Per- sonal opinions such as the witness' last statement, should not be allowed on the court records. judge: You are entirely correct.

Thousands of doors seem to blend with yawning corridors as the novice high school student rushes through the slick halls. V However, contrary to general opinion, the real con- fusion of the freshman student stems from his inability to decide which organizations to join. So many activi- ties are offered and all sound fascinating . . . To belong to the Science Club . . . Jesters . . . Latin Club . . . GAA . . . Nearly all freshmen ponder over these and many more choices. Each offers not only enjoy- ment and companionship, but a variety of experiences to broaden one's knowledge.

He has even had a song dedicated to him Garberg the Airsick Eaglef, Nevertheless, he survived this phenomenal pop- ularity and remained congenial and an asset to the class. Members of your class are accused of keeping late hours and coming to school with watery, squinting eyes, but of course this is not the case. Most of the tear-stained cheeks resulted not from lost love or late hours, but from contact lenses, Many sophomores acquired them and the fad even spread to some of the faculty. They are known for such profound statements as How could I be ostracized?

That is one-third of those participating. Congratulations! It has been an active year, full of fun and achievement because you chose to make it so. You have chosen, Class of '63, to accept some respon- sibility. Now even more will be expected of you. You will have the greater task of living up to the goals you have set and the faith people have in you. Miss Luhtala says of the class of '63, You are a group of hard working, responsible people with a great many 'Chiefs' and enough 'Indians' to follow. You demonstrate school spirit and pride in R.T.H.S. by your active support in all school functions, yet have a lot of fun. I believe you respect your faculty but are still will- ing to make your opinions known. In fact, for sopho- mores you aren't bad!

As a junior I feel that I have more responsibilities and more of a reason to be loyal to the school. I begin to see more and more the need for education. This is a Junior speaking. This is Rochelle Township High School, a thriving community of more than 700 scholars, in the city of Rochelle, Illinois. The time- August 1960-june 1961. What kind of a school year was it? A school year like any other school year, filled with the curricular and extra- curricular events that alter and illumine a student's life . . . A year like any other year-except that you were Juniors, Class of 1962. You were the smallest class, beginning the year with only 150 members-76 boys, 74 girls. You entered the corridors of R.T.H.S. fighting to stay afloat amid a sea of freshmen and sophomores. Only four of you joined G.A.A.g only two made the Ro-T0-Hi-Life staffg only one was in Library Club. But four of the six FFA officers were your classmates. You immediately began to work at earning money for the prom. You ran the refreshment stand at the first home game and right away you knew it was going to be an interesting year as one girls fell into the ice water used to chill the pop. Four things made this year truly different from all others: getting class rings, receiving a driver's license, anticipating the prom, recognizing your importance as a student.

What Made foo- 'ol Diferenf? Kings, Hara Pram, fudy We begin to earn a certain amount of respect from underclassmen, teachers, even parents. They can see we are becoming more mature. It's a terrific feeling and a terrific responsibility to know that someone is looking up to you and maybe following your example. Receiving class rings. They're the greatest. Selling mums and introducing the boutonniere. We sold a record number this year. Being able to take the N.Y.-Washing- ton, D.C., trip. The prom. All these things make this year distinct from all others. . . . Juniors could drive. Instead of walking every- where, we always managed to find a friend with a CHI. And this year at the basketball games We can see both baskets at once. Before we were always sitting too high on the bleachers. What kind of a year was it? Hot at first, rooms filled with the sun's glare. Noisy, until one-way corridors were completed, shades were installed, and the election was over. Some remember the first snowflakes on October 19, and try to forget all the other ones that followed. Some remember other things. On the GAA hike, we paused at an unoccupied schoolhouse to eat our lunch. Two friends and I bal- anced on the teeter-totter as we ate.

After a comprehensive lecture on how to insert a piece of glass tubing into a rubber stopper without breaking the glass, he proceeded to show us and promptly broke the glass tube.

'Hey, did you see that? The car stopped and I never touched the brake,' I said without thinking. It never dawned on me that Mr. Hall had a brake on his side too. Afterwards I felt like an idiot. In industrial arts we learn that a nail flike a personj has a head on it to keep it from getting too deeply in- volved. One day a boy was putting a table together and he was trying to pull a nail out of the wood. Everything was fine until the nail lost its head and the boy acciden- tally got hit on his head with the hammer. A standing joke in English is the Pshaw-Fudge incident. Mr. Edwards used 'Pshaw' as an interjection, but one girl didn't know what it meant. She still didn't, even after the teacher had added 'Fudgel' and 'Nutsl' as examples. She read it as the brand name for some new kind of candy 'Pshaw Fudge with Nuts'. What kind of a year was it?

Maybe he doesn't seem outstanding now, maybe he is to be especially outstanding many years from now. I believe the outstanding juniors are the whole junior Class. We all have worked hard to become a junior and I believe that it's an outstanding accomplishment that we've made it so far.

Commencement speakers have the graduates standing at the crossroads, standing on the threshold of a bright new future, or standing at the doorway to opportunity, says an old senior joke, but meanwhile we sit and sit AND SIT. There may be an exaggeration of both truth and humor in that saying, but as the Senior headed into the last months of his last year at Rochelle Township High School, he began seriously to look, Janus-like, in two directions. He looked back upon nearly four years of work and fun. He remembered how awesome were the halls of R.T.H.S. when he first set foot in them as a freshman student. He recalled how that timidness soon gave way to the overconfidence of his sophomore yearqhow as a mighty junior he rattled the foundations of the school Cand only occasionally admitted to himself that he was not quite so great, witty, and sophisticated as the lower- classmen might thinkj. He looked forward to a lifetime of adulthood in the shadow of great political and economic change. What lies beyond june 6? he wondered. The Service? A job? Vocational Training? College? Marriage?

Zrfurzscling Kanter H6415 Scniars Hhvosc' Hlzzssas' Uzey Need Taken from Shakespeares play Macbeth the following quotes express some of the Senior's sentiments in regard to commence- ment. A Senior girl in her haste to dress for the ceremony stains her gown with lipstick and cries, Out, damned spot! out, I say! Having dressed themselves in their caps and gowns, the Seniors become frightened and look so green and pale. Before receiving their diplomas, the Seniors must listen to golden opinions from all sorts of people. They think but dare not speak. The faces of the students sitting on the stage are as a book where menimay read strange matters. They know ,thy thoughts, passes through the eager, yet apprehensive, minds. Before receiving their diplomas, the Seniors' minds are filled with apprehension. They look at their friends and wonder, When shall we 160 meet again, in thunder, lightning, or in rain ? The very thought of not receiving a diploma doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs. One Senior says to another after hours of sitting and listening, Look, how our partner's rapt. The commonly held belief during the preliminary ceremonies is 'If it were clone when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were clone quickly. 44 In spite of all the exasperation on drones the speaker with such words of wisdom as The harvest is your own and Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. Finally the diplomas are distributed and with sighs of relief the graduates say, . . the hurly-burly's done . . Upon hearing his name called one disbelieving Senior gasps, Thou 'rt mad to say it! One graduate tightly clutching his diploma marvels that with hidden help and vantage that I finally got this. Another cries. Is this a diploma which I see before me . . ' Come let me clutch thee! Still another exclaims, I' the name of truth, are ye fantasti- cal . . .? There are, however, several regretful statements: such as, Let us seek out some desolate shade, and there weep our sad bosoms empty and What's done cannot be undone. The proud graduates have many bits of advice for the new Seniors. I pray you, school yourself! They pity the unsuspecting students, for . . sleep shall neither night nor day hang upon their penthouse lids. After hours of exasperating sitting and listening the Seniors gasp The time is now free.

Cutler Cells ffisfery ef '6O- 'ol Selzeel year in 708 Pages 'QUE At the end of the first picture taking day editors Sandra Sawicki, Joyce Schultz, and Sue Burnham see what it looks like from the other side of the camera. Section editor Roberta Lazier had already dashed away. Lynn Kettleson checks the directions for making a proportionate drawing to enlarge or reduce a picture for use in the Taller. This is a part of the train- ing program for new yearbook staff members. With Rochelle Township High School's enrollment in- creasing to 720 students, the Taller this year had to ex- pand also. The yearbook now contains 108 pages-a 96-page regular book and a 12-page supplement to cover spring events. Noting that students, teachers, custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, administrators, and board members seemed to be around the school at all hours from early morning until late at night, the section editors decided to use the theme The School Never Sleeps as an organi- zation point for telling the history of the 1960-1961 school year. Since graduation had cut the number of staff members by nearly SOW, the next step was to organize a training program for new members. Eleven survived the before- school and seventh period sessions and the qualifying exam and were soon privileged slaves to the BOOK. On the first big picture-taking day, most of the group shots of classes and organizations were taken. Only a few people were confused by it all, and those few, sur- prisingly enough, weren't freshmen. Tezfler section editors soon discovered that not only is it an honor to be a yearbook editor, but it is also mighty hard work. After the first pi-cture-taking day, they de- cided that G.A.A. nine-mile hikes are a snap. On the day that candids were-taken, they learned that walking is definitely a part of the boys' physical fitness program, that some of the best corridor candids just can't be captured on film, and that boys who take driver train- ing know how to relax. In the classrooms they learned a little bit about a lot of things-from Shakespeare fEng- lishj to 'Donit Shakedeareln fspeechj. With the book finished, the editors concentrated gratefully on gradua- tion, while prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors wondered, What will we put in the 1962 Tdfl67'.D,! Executive editor of R0-To-, Cheri Floyd, sorts material to be used in the next issue of the newspaper. Karen Skinner and Ann Petsch struggle with a two- line, one-column 18 pt. Cloister headline for a Ro-To- story. 150- Z0-ff!-EW is Zfrrwing Graund far lfzfung Writers The R0-To-Hi-Life opened the 1960-1961 school year with a staff that contained two juniors, twenty-two sopho- mores, and three freshmen. Only two of these students had been on the staff the preceding year. The first step in reorganization was to return to the smaller 8M1 x12 , three-column, four-page format. This created a problem, since Rochelle Township High School had more students, more clubs, and more classes, but the newspaper had less space in which to tell of them. The decision to utilize a smaller amount of space came about as the result of two things. First, with an obviously inexperienced beginning staff, Mrs. Stotmeister, the advisor, felt that the four-column, four-page format of the previous year's R0-T0- would present too many difficulties for the staff, especially since there was no English IVJ class to lead the Way. Secondly, the cost of the larger paper had to be considered. As the year progressed and the staff became more pro- TOP ROW: David Snyder, Lynn Kettleson, Lyle Headon, ken, Katharine Carney, Arlene Pesuth, and Mrs. Stotmeister ficient, they were more aware of the space limitation. One staff member, who is apparently a reader of the New York Times, commented: We can't say we print all the news that's fit to print. We just print all the news that fits. Some sophomore English classes used the Ro-T0-HL Life as a laboratory project while they were studying ob- jective reporting, features, editorials, newspaper make-up, and headlining. From these classes came most of the thirty students who eventually made up the regular staff. Others of these sophomores contributed guest editorials and features occasionally. With the second issue, Cheri Floyd took over as execu- tive editor and worked with representatives of the other classes in trying to achieve balanced coverage of R.T.H.S.'s four classes, innumerable organizations, athletics, and all the other stories that form R0-chelle To-wnship Hi-gh LIFE.

' - wa 47 Rochelle's Art Club started their ninth year with the annual presentation of a framed reproduction of a famous painting for the school library. This year's picture was of The Swing by French painter Renoir. This club's main objectives are to offer students an opportunity to develop an understanding and appreciation of aesthetic values in the visual artsg to stimulate students to develop their creative powersg to plan and arrange art exhibitsg and to function as a service organization for the high school. During the year the Art Club planned and presented student art exhibits. Creative art work for various school activities was produced by some of its members. The club visited an art exhibit at Northern Illinois University, and also took their annual field trip to Chi- cago's Art Institute.

They are specially trained in library procedures at Library Club meetings. All members must have an interest in books and reading and a willingness to serve fellow students and teachers. This year thirteen R.T.H.S. students met in the library with Miss Macy and Mrs. McGuine the first and third Wednesday of each month for Library Club. Activities at Library Club meetings varied. For example, sometimes the students studied the Dewey Decimal Classification Systemg sometimes they read the shelves g sometimes they considered the qualifications of a good student library assistant. To the average student who saw only the desk work and thought that stamping books for date due must be easy work, and fun, the thirteen members of the Li- brary Club say, There is more to being a Library Club member than meets the eye.

Radio Club members James Akey, Gary Landis, Francis King, Dennis Sassaman, and Cheri Praetz watch Gary Prideaux check two amplifier tubes for the transmitter. Camera Club members initiated a new pro- gram idea this year. Although their purpose was still the same, learning how to take pictures, develop them, and make prints, this year they staged monthly contests on picture taking, de- veloping, and printing. The pictures were taken by each member and then judged by the photographer from the Newr-Leader on the composition of the picture as well as the developing and printing tech- niques used. Each month a prize was awarded to the winner of the contest who displayed the best shot on the theme or idea for that month. New ideas such as School Life, Winter Fun, and Closeups were chosen by the members for the different contests. Other phases of photography that club mem- bers worked on were photomicrophy, portraits, and closeups. Other phases of the wide field of photography were investigated by individual Camera Club members before the end of the Kzzdirf 61116 Members Hearn Cransmiffiua Kcceiviug Members of the amateur Radio Club have a keen interest in the theory and operation of the radio.

To be sure of getting students who had a definite interest in math, membership was limited to juniors and seniors who were presently taking a math course and who had at least a C+ average in math. Their meetings followed various formats. Sometimes they worked on a 'lcatchy problem such as this: A lonesome bug is all by himself up on the ceiling at the far end of the room.

Don't worry though the Jester Club members didn't always go around assaulting each other-only in their fall play, The Ladier of the Jury, an exciting comedy about the trouble charming Mrs. Livingstone Baldwin Crane has convincing the other members of a grand jury that a rich French widow, accused of murdering her husband, is innocent. Her efforts combined with a large cast of characters resulted in a thrilling and hilarious presen- tation. The Jesters found themselves busy this season with one thing coming right after another. Activities started in September when the members who had earned five Jester points the previous year went to Chicago where they saw the musical comedy Once Upon 4 Maifrerr. Immediately after this field trip preparations for the premier perform- ance of The Ladier of fbe Jury, set for November 18, got under way. During basketball season, the Jester Club sponsored a dance and started work on a one-act contest play, The Slave with Two Faces, an unusual allegory depicting the attitudes taken by different people to life. In this play Jester instructor Miss Nancy Honette experimented with modern dance giving this drama, which was staged later in the winter a unique and interesting effect. Then finally, in the spring, the '60-'61 members were rewarded for their hard work with another field trip to Chicago where they too saw a stage play.

Staying after school was gladly done by the members of the Girls Athletic Association. Each Monday and Thursday after school the girls met to participate in such sports as soccer, basketball, volleyball, cageball, badminton, tennis, archery, and softball. During the winter there was also bowling on Tuesday. For participating in these activities, the girls earned two points for each night. A total of twenty-four points must be earned each semester to remain a member of G.A.A. At the end of the year, awards were given on the basis of total points accumulated. Besides the sports, the girls also sponsored social events. The members had a Spook Party at Halloween, the annual candy sale in November, a Turkey Party at Thanksgiving, and a Slumber Party in February. A dance was given after the basketball game in February. In March the par- ents pitted their athletic skill against the girls at the Parent Play Night and were given a demonstration of the different sports at a Public Demonstration in April.

This organization is devoted to those who are interested in some branch of the medical profession. The F.N.A. members were given a chance to see how a hospital func- tions during the trips to different hospitals in northern Illinois. The members worked on a volunteer basis. In- cluded in the many services were assisting the Rochelle Hospital's Auxiliary as hostesses, escorting visitors to the patients' rooms, and making empty beds. This year three new projects were added. The members helped in the preparation of the meal trays in the diet kitchen, carried the trays to the patients' rooms, and helped to keep the flowers and plants in the room look- ing nice.

The Future Teachers Association is an organization through which a student may get a glimpse of teaching as a profession. At the meetings once a month, a special speaker talked on the subject of teaching or things that are important to becoming a teacher. What do teachers do at those meetings they attend when students get a day off school? This year Ellen Ohlson and jackie Helfer found out when they accom- panied Mrs. Ellis and Mrs. Wissmiller to the Illinois Education Association meeting at Dixon. Mr. Peterson briefs future teachers who showed parents around the school for open house in November. Experience is the best teacher, according to an old saying, and the F.T.A. followed it in their procedure. Members had a chance to earn points by helping a teacher to whom they were especially assigned, doing tasks that ranged from recording grades to decorating a room. This not only gave the student experience but also decreased the number of routine jobs the teacher had constantly to face. juniors and seniors were alfowed to visit a grade school classroom for a half-day. This familiarized them with the procedures followed in elementary school teaching.

Chi .Si For the first time in many years Rochelle Township High School has a Latin Club. The club was open to all first and second year Latin students. At the beginning of the year, a council, consisting of one member from each Latin class, was elected to go about the business of forming the Latin Club. This council consisted of Barbara Thomas, Rosalie Reed, Sue Hayden, Phil Rolfe, John Gieske, Alan Cooper, and was advised by the Latin teachers, Miss Hayes and Mrs. Ellis. The council decided to nominate some people for the offices, and a little later, the members of the Latin classes elected the following as their officers: Jeanne Charn, consul Qpresidentjg Paul Snyder, vice-consul fvice-presidentjg Mary 'lane Hintszche, scriba Csecretarybg and P.

The meetings consisted of a skit, usually humorous, composed, directed, produced, and acted out by one of the classes. Some of the actors prob- ably should be awarded Emmys for their outstand- ing Csometimes hilariousj performances. Dues were collected at the beginning of the year in order to put on a Christmas Party in December and plans were made for a Roman banquet in the spring. The purpose of the club, as stated by consul Jeanne Charn, is to make Latin, a supposedly dull language, more interesting. TOP ROW: Suzanne Tilton, Katharine Carney, Pamela Purkis.

Profits from Hobo Day and the Christmas sales were used to finance the an- nual winter formal and Chicago trip. Other activities were Family Night, the Style Show and tea, Heart Sister Week in February, which the Spaghetti Supper brought to a close, and a skating party for the BRA. boys. Mrs. Himes and Miss Anderson were the advisors and Mr. and Mrs. Mueller were the Chapter Father and Mother. The fall rally was held in Shabbona October 8, with training meetings for the officers. During the summer, the president, Dorothy Stocking, was sent to East Bay Camp near Bloomington for training of that office. The members can earn the junior or chapter degree for the awards, or the state award, which is the most diffi- cult to earn, The theme for this year was Our Friends Here and Abroad.

All Chapter Farmers are eligible to be desig- nated for the State Farmer degree, but usually only two or three are presented to the state committee as candi- dates. Since only QQ of the state's F.F.A. membership may actually be awarded the degree, the final selection of State Farmers rests on quality as well as on the num- bers limitation. An annual event of much significance is the trip to the national convention. Tom Hill, Bob Hutcheson, and Darrel Spitser, with their advisor Mr. Curl, were selected to represent Rochelle at the 33rd National F.F.A. Con- vention in Kansas City, Missouri, October 13 and 14. Besides attending the usual convention meetings, they toured the Armour meat packing plant where they were shown the different processes involved from slaughtering to packaging. At the Kansas City Stock Yards they were told about the marketing of the animals. Later they vis- ited the American Hereford Record Association. That evening the group attended the National F.F.A. Speaking contest, and the next day they visited the Ameri- can Royal Livestock Exposition and Horse Show. They were present when the champions in the swine, sheep, and cattle departments were chosen. By january 15, production award winners were named and the Future Farmers weer looking forward to the Feb- ruary banquet. At the banquet parents and members were the guests, honorary awards were distributed. Each year the outstanding senior F.F.A. member is awarded the De Kalb Agricultural Association's award. He receives a medal and his name is placed on a large plaque. F.F.A. officers Darrel Spitser fsentinelj, Steve Hopkins fsecretaryj, Gene Bialas Qpresidentj, Bob Hutcheson Creporterj, Tom Hill ftreasurerj, and Denny Hayes fvice-presidentj review the agricultural projects they will undertake during the 1960-61 year.

The Rochelle Township High School music program is partially incorporated into the school day but still involves much extracurricular participation from students. Under the direction of Mr. Gieske, Mr. Erbes, and Mr. Engel, students may choose vocal music, band, or orchestra. Some of the courses carry W or V2 credit. The main music groups are band, orchestra, choir, var- sity girls, chorus, mixed chorus, madrigals, dinner ensem- ble, dance band, and prep band, although numerous other ensembles are organized and meet regularly. The band features a year-'round program highlighted by four major concerts: one to climax the summer pro- gram, the Christmas concert, the winter band concert, and another in the spring. Also it plays for all of the home football games and some of the basketball contests. It participates in the Northern Illinois homecoming cele- bration, Harvard Milk Day, the State Fair at Springfield, and Rochelleis Memorial Day observance. The prep band is made up of students who are preparing for the concert band. They learn the fundamentals of 124. 'Y . . Q, ' :':if2.f'f - i i marching, musicianship, and rehearsal techniques, and get individual preparation on their instruments. Most students spend one to two years in the prep band before moving on to the concert band. On November 19 the band and chorus selected about 60 of their members to attend the North Central Music Festival at Dixon. In February seven students were selected to attend the All-State Music Activity at the University of Illinois. They included Judy Prentice from the band, RoVena Knetsch and Sue Harr from the orchestra, and Carolyn Pierce, Mary Lou Gieske, Paul Mayer, and Roger Cannella from the choir. The orchestra played at various school activities, and the dinner ensemble entertained at the Man of the Year banquet. In March they attended the Mississippi Valley Festival at Rock Island. The music groups regularly provided programs for neighboring grade schools and for local service groups. h - 1 . YK b is K ,177 Q : .:s.'.

After viewing the comprehensive music program, Rochelle residents were not surprised this fall to have Mr. Willis of the Illinois State High School Association select an RTHS string ensemble to represent the music activity of the ISHSA in a television program Know Your Illinois State High School Association. As one student commented, It must surely please the teachers in the music department to know they have helped these students to learn about and appreciate such a variety of music. i', 1- .V V,k.

Everyone's enthusaism pro- moted the Homecoming victory. The wet atmosphere did not dampen the spirits of the student body as their man-made snake sinuated through town. Gasping for breath, the enthusiastic group encir- cled the intersection for an inspiring pep rally led by the cheerleaders. Likewise the dampness went unnoticed during the tense and exciting game Friday night. Finally the suspense was broken as the Queen's Court was crowned by Student Council president and Hub center, Mickey Towns. Three candidates were selected from each class with exception of the freshmen who had four they liked best. The halftime ceremonies were accompanied by another precision per- formance of the R.T.H.S. marching band. With their magnificent team spirit and excess of touch- downs, the Hubs conquered Geneseo 53-19, while the Hublets scalped the Leaflets 32-O. Alone but not lonely, the 1960 Queen reigned, as her colleague had an unfortunate injury during the game. Dancing to the music of the Rythmaires, a tremendous crowd absorbed the excitement, gaiety, and triumph of the night. Right: Everyone and everything goes all out for a victorious Homecoming.

The Hubs dropped their season opener to a powerful Sycamore club, 21-6, but they gave the undefeated Spartans a run for their money. The Hubs should have won, for they had more first downs and more yards rushing, but the scoreboard showed a different tally. The Hubs hit pay dirt when they dropped Honenegah, 19-13, in their first season win and first home game. Starting out in conference play, the Hubs lost to the conference champs, Rock Falls, 7-13, and the second place team, Mendota, 7-21. Although they lost both games, the Hubs played two of their best games of the season with hard blocking, fast running, and bone-crushing tackles. At the Homecoming game, when they clobbered Geneseo, 33-19, the Hubs started a winning streak that lasted throughout the rest of the season. The victorious Hubs marched on Hall and although behind at the half, the Hubs turned the tables and came back to win 40-26. Winding up the season, the Hubs honored their dads at Dads' N ight by trouncing the Harlem Huskies, 31-19. In season play the Hubs outscored their opponents 173-145, with fullback Kurt Harms getting the most points, 46. Harms also had the most carries with 88. Halfback jim Dentler averaged the most yards per carry with 9.5. At the banquet November 30, Illinois grid coach Pete Elliot gave a stirring speech on the role of an athlete. Receiving the Ellis Memorial Trophy for sportsmanship was hard working guard Chuck Stocking. Eullback Kurt Harms received the Hackett Trophy for the most valuable player.

Hublets Past 4-4-O kemrd During the 1960 season the Hublets provided many thrills for the Rochelle fans. In the season's opener the Hublets got off to a poor start as the little Spartans beat them 25-6. The second game was entirely a defensive battle with the Hublets coming out on top over Honenegah 6-O, The third game was a real battle. The Rockets moved ahead early in the second period 6-O. The game turned into a battle of defenses until the Rockets returned a kick-off 80 yards for a touchdown. Rock Falls won 13-7. A touchdown pass midway gave Mendota a 13-7 vic- tory in the fourth game. After losing two consecutive games the Hublets decided to move. They trounced Geneseo 32-0 for their first con- ference win. The Hublets then clobbered Princeton 32-12, with Bruce Gunn scoring four touchdowns. After winning two straight, the Hublets bowed to a strong Hall Township team. However, Rochelle led throughout most of the game. The third quarter was costly to the Hublets because Hall outscored them 14-O during that period. Hall won 21-19. The Hublets once again hit the victory trail and de- feated Harlem 25-6. The Hublets scored early in the game and continued to score until the very end. At the end of the season, Pete jones was named captain. l T, B. I K ,.g I--5 -1 1 I F l 4 v ' xy 3 .

Hubs Display Hue Zkzwzwork Rochelle Hubs displayed fine teamwork and skill as they racked up a 20-5 season record. Although they were ever-fighting, they ended fifth in the conference. In the season's opener the Hubs surpassed Harlem 60-47, but then suffered a heart-breaking defeat to West Rockford with the final score reading 63-66. Their first conference test found them in good shape, trouncing Dixon 85-55. The next conference win found the team a little shaky, as they barely beat Geneseo 49-47. The next game told a different tale as they were forced to bow to Kewanee with a score of 45-49. In the DeKalb Holiday Tourney, the Hubs barely edged past Freeport 54-55. Then they lost to West Aurora with the difference of only three points. The next seven games came easy to the Hubs as they won them all by fairly reasonable margins. In the Streator game Denny Onley broke his scoring record with 31 points. In the next game with Harlem the lead Changed constantly until the fourth quarter when the Hubs suddenly came alive and outscored their opponent 29-12. Most of the points were scored in the last three minutes. As all good teams do, the Mully-men lost to a stronger 80 team. The Princeton Tigers put on a heavy press during the whole game, thus hindering the Hub's field goal ability. Don Horner sparked the team with twelve points. Oregon was then a mere practice bait as the Hubs trounced them 80-55. The battle with the number one N.C.I.C. team, Sterling, was not in vain, although our cagers were belted with a 69-58 loss. Haigh was high scorer with 19 points. From there the Hubs whipped Mt. Morris 86-57, but lost to Mendota by nine points. The Hubs were really under par that night for they only connected 23 out of 67 field goals. In the last conference game they took revenge on Hall Township with the final score showing 76-64. During that game all seniors saw action. The first game in the Regional Tournament found Rochelle victorious over Kaneland. The second game proved a little more difficult as the lead switched often. Rochelle finally won in the last two seconds of overtime. The Hubs returned the following night to meet cham- pionship defeat by Shabbona 45-51. F .

The 1961 Hublets, coached by Robert Erwin, contributed a fine season to the sports' record of R.T.H.S., and fnished second in the N.C.I.C, conference. Their season record was twenty wins and one defeatg their conference record was ten wins and one loss. The Hublets outscored their opponents by an average of fourteen and six tenths points but were outshot at the charity line by fifty-nine per cent. Injuries brought about some changes in the Hublet line up as Dave Snyder and Gary Hoffman were both out during part of the season. Phil Rolfe and Dave Wickness both joined the team after the start of the season because of football injuries. This year's team consisted of the thirteen sophomores and one freshman, all of whom scored at least two points to contribute to the fifty-three point six average of the team. Another highlight of the Hublets 1961 season was their winning of the Rock Falls Tournament, by defeating Erie 73-59, Mendota 45-42, and Rock Falls 51-43. Team balance and a great desire were the factors which accounted for one of the best seasons for the Frosh-Soph team in the 'recent history of Rochelle basketball.

Two exciting events of the season were the clobbering of Princeton 48-6 and the edging of Harvard 26-24. This year Mr. Hall had an assistant, Mr. Polhill. Together they gave-the boys sufficient instruction to give the opposition a battle. Each year a wrestler learns more and with continued practice he can become an accomplished matman. Rochelle had some outstanding wrestlers this year. Sophomore, 103 pound division, john Sammons placed first in the conference meet and third in the district. Sophomore, 95-pounder, jerry Wrenn placed second in the conference meet, and 112 pound Dave Fischer placed fourth.

Best performance was turned in by the junior Varsity, who finished the season with an undefeated four win and no loss record. Leading the way for the Junior Varsity squad were Max Wood, Dan Plourde, jim Schafer, and Neil Andersen. The Frosh-Soph squad finished the season with a re- spectable four win, two loss record. The same boys con- tributed most of the effort on this squad. In Varsity competition the going was a little rough. The Varsity's record of three wins and seven losses doesn't look like much but considering that four sophomores led the way, it looks as if Rochelle will have a fine team in 1963. Larry Swope, jerry Wrenn, Doc johnson, Roger Hamm, and Wayne Furman were the top runners this year. The first four are sophomores. Swope had the top time on Rochelle's 1.6 mile course with a fine 8:42. Sec- ond was Wrenn with 9:01. Things looked bad when the Harriers were denied ad- mittance to the place where they had been running for the last seven years, but Coach Mully mapped out a new course north of the high school. This new course covered 1.6 miles and worked out well. Everybody piles in as the runners travel to the cross country J course for a practice session. 85 Kheerlcaders Accent Games Zfliflz Enthusiasm Even though they are in a difficult position, the combined squads radiate their usual smiles.

The varsity and frosh-soph cheerleaders really worked to give the school a fine cheering section this year. They practiced every seventh hour, coached by Miss Luhtala, their advisor. For Janice Hummel and Mary Hall, two varsity cheer- leaders, this hard practice paid off. They received a first 86 Rochelle's Varsity squad. rating at cheerleading camp at Illinois State Normal University. R.T.H.S. cheerleaders made the opposing team's cheer- leaders Welcome by sending letters to Welcome them. The cheerleaders boosted team spirit by selling mega- phones, putting up posters, giving the students some peppy pep assemblies, and a formal opening and closing for the football and basketball seasons. ,fix AND SCIHUQ L ST!-SFF . uwnslrvwxvwss Below: Adeline Mc- Guine, library clerk, keeps pretty busy check- ing out books and keep- ing the noise in the li- brary down to a mini- mum.

To many people school is just a building, but the resi- dents of District 212 know R.T.H.S. is more than a build- ing. It is a closely knit community of people who create a climate of achievement. The people know the quality of in- struction may be attributed directly to the efforts of the Board, whom they elected, to the superintendent and principal, to the assistant-principal, and to every member of the faculty and the staff. The Board meets on the first Monday of each month to consider possible changes and to dispense funds to provide the best educational facilities. The superintendent keeps them informed on educational matters and carries out the decisions at which they have jointly arrived. The assistant-principal de- votes his time to the individual student's problems. An office staff consisting of secretaries, office girls, and a bookkeeper facilitates detail work. Besides keeping a record of all school business affairs, they also make out student sched- ules and maintain a permanent file for each student. indent Krfuncil Wm! Qraup Why is the Student Council in-the Administration and School Staff section of the yearbook? The Student Council is the voice of the students in school government. Throughout this last year the Student Council had many worthwhile projects. It selected the outstanding cheerleaders, sponsored Homecoming, and collected money for the area orphanages at Christmas. Student Council members wholeheartedly supported the an- nual magazine drive that it might lower the yearbook and newspaper costs and provide intramural equipment. The Council also held the highly successful second annual Variety Review. After judging the tryouts, it spent many long hours at rehearsals and publicizing the event. The past year has been an all-round success due to the efforts of the R. T. H. S. Student Council. mums me my Above: The Student Council Officers Mickey Towns, president, Charles Larabee vice president Nancy Olson, treasurer: and Judy Nelson secretary are listening to Martha Schaap's tryout for the sec ond annual Variety Review.

Une Stay Keeps inc Scnrnfl Running R.T.H.S., like a machine, runs smoothly only when each part is doing its job correctly and in unison. The staff is a vital part of the R.T.H.S. machine. The bus drivers, like the proverbial mailman, let neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow stop them from making their rounds. These men keep the attendance up and pro- vide transportation to sports events and field trips. The custodians assure a well-maintained school for the students. Not only do they sweep, scrub, and polish, but also they make numerous repairs and keep the school heat- ing plant functioning. The cafeteria workers have kept the school fed. These ladies plan and prepare the meals long before and long after the two lunch periods. The staff keeps the wheels at R.T.H.S. turning. Without them, school activity would grind to a halt, they truly keep the school running.

Hills Memorial Gymnasium. Special invitations were sent to the families of underclassmen who had a 4.5 QB-4-J, or better, aver- age in their academic work and to families of seniors and juniors who were to be named to the National Honor Society, for Future Teachers Club Scholarships, or for the Bausch Sc Lomb Science award. Dr. Francis R. Geigle, Vice-President of Northern Illinois University, was en- gaged as the speaker for the evening. His message was geared to stimulate the college-bound students. Fifteen seniors, in addition to the eight last year who were admitted as juniors, were named to the National Honor Society. Also seven juniors were elected to the Society. Election to this organization is based on scholar- ship, character, leadership and service. Named as candidates for the Carney R awards were Susan Burnham, Bill Elworthy, Bonnie Gilbertson, Ro- Vena Knetsch, Charles Larabee, Nancy Olson, Lucie Plourde, Judy Prentice, Jeff Quitno, Charles Stocking, Mickey Towns and Gary Wire.

They won six dual meets, with their only loss coming at the hands of DeKalb. Outstanding performances by several of the squad's members yielded several new records. Gary Gunn broke the shotput record that was held by Denny Mutton. Brad Morrison broke the 220 yard dash set by Spike Olsen. Brad ran the distance in 25.1 seconds to break the record by four-tenths of a second. The Hubs' 880' relay team tied the school record, while the mile relay team set a new standard of 3:33-.4. Senior members of the squad included jack Weeks, Chuck Larabee, Don Horner, jerry Salsbury, jerry Smith, Ron Bunger, Gary Rhodes, and jim Shangle. The team also took second in the Princeton Invitational meet and fifth in the conference meet. The frosh-soph squad ended their season with a 5-2 dual meet record and was seventh in the conference. Sev- eral members of the squad were on the varsity most of the season. Above: Hub pole . vaulters watch Loren Edwards as he goes up and over dur- ing a practice ses- sion. l02 5 1 IQ.

Q I , 5 K K 5 gg ' VV Plagued by cold and rainy weather, the Hub nine began their second season in the Rock Valley Conference. The first games were termed as baseball games in football weather. But as the weather warmed up, so did the Hubs. Timely hitting and effective pitching were two determin- ing factors that led them to a second place rank in the conference with an 8 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tied game record.

The young right-hander kept the batsmen off balance throughout the seven innings. He struck out eight, walked only two, but kept calm to lead the Hubs to a 5-0 vic- tory. Chico Dancel -nade his first start of the season on the mound, he turned out a four hitter against Dixon, striking out seven for another Hub victory. Senior Kurt Harms and sophomore Phil Rolfe also complemented the Rochelle pitching staff. Perhaps the most exciting and long-remembered game was the victory Coach Hall's nine handed West Rockford. This game was lost the hard way-with the winning run crossing the plate in the eighth inning as the result of a hit batter. In the District tournament at DeKalb, a run that was the result of a hit, two stolen bases, and a wild pitch broke a 4-4 deadlock and gave DeKalb a victory over the Hubs in the 10th inning.

Kauffman J-firzdered The 1961 golf squad was one of the better squads in recent years, with the Varsity squad winning ten, losing four, and tieing one and the I-V squad boast- 'ing a perfect record of nine wins, no losses. In placing second in the District meet, the team came within two strokes of qualifying for the State meet. Individually, Chuck Stocking placed third in the Dis- trict at Sycamore, and also placed third in the N.C.I.C. meet at Streator. Although the squad loses three top senior golfers, there is a strong group of ca able la ers returnin for next season.

In the Varsity conference meet at Sterling the Hubs ranked fifth, while at Dixon the frosh-soph placed second in the N.C.I.C. meet. Coach Bender stated that the racket squad showed great improvement as the season progressed, but were greatly hindered by lack of experience.
