Cramming for an exam, Cheryl Friestad concentrates on an as- signment. Hold Keys to lcrzcfufledgcz Prestige, and Maturity Four years ago another freshman class was initiated into Rochelle Township High School. Part of the class was an invisible, empty key ring, unrecognized, perhaps, but there. The key ring still belongs to that class which is now officially entitled the Senior Class of 1963. The ring, however, is no longer empty, and the keys that are on it represent the attitudes, achievement, and activities of the Class of i63 during its four-year tenure at R.T.H.S. In September, 1959, the Class of '63 began un- locking doors, with every opened door adding a new key to its ring. Since their freshman year members of the class have been opening doors to classrooms. Once inside, some have cooked and sewed, dissected worms, made timelines, taken timings, typed manu- scripts, made speeches, studied cattle and corn, planed wood, made hydrogen, read books, kept ledgers, added, subtracted, interpolated, painted, and made ripple tanks. In addition, every member has taken English with all its study guides, Shakespeare, Word Wealtb words, and spelling lists that the course entails. Noted for its succeed-big, fail-big characteristics, and its quality of large top, large bottom, and meager middle, the Class of '63 ranks extremely high scholastically, pro- ducing a record number of state scholarship semi- finalists-20, and the first Merit Scholar semifinalists in R.T.H.S. historyfthree of them. Yet, on the other side of the scale, there are some scholastic failures who dropped by the wayside. After the ninth hour bell and often before the first hour bell, members of the class have been seen for four years entering doors to run movie projectors, to join the Future clubs as homemakers, farmers, teachers, nurses, or scientists, to become a part of the language clubs, and to learn to take pictures. Also, '63'ers flung open the doors to the music department. Here they composed a large portion of the choir and concert band their senior year, not to mention leading roles in madrigals, boys' octet, dance band, and state music contest participation. There was undoubtedly a metallic clink', whenever a member of the class received the lead in a play, sang a solo, received a state music superior, was appointed editor of the Tatler or the Ra-To, or was elected president of F.T.A. or Spanish Club. The sound was another key added to the fast-filling ring. Moreover, class members have found keys to every area of the locker room as they have excelled in all sports. Seniors of '63 can look back on active participa- tion in R.T.H.S, athletics, as harriers, gridders, cagers, grapplers, trackmen, golfers, and tennis or baseball players. The 1962 football team, with nine seniors in the starting line-up, was the most outstanding in the school's history, bringing all-state players . . . NCIC champs . . . an undefeated season . . . strings of victories. Above the roars of the crowd at every resounding Hub victory was the noise of keys being abundantly added to the class's ring. Social life has certainly not been neglected by the 63'ers. They have been Seen in the frenzy of two-way traffic around the study halls in the pre-period one hours, dating, twisting at the after-the-game dances, serving on committees, being leaders as well as followers, and adding to the mass confusion of each day. '63 rings have been distributed among a large segment of the immediate population, and as a class, '63'ers have undertaken with originality and energy the frosh-soph party, their extravaganza of paper napkins, chicken wire, and man-sized daisies-'iwonderland by Night, andthe senior banquet. Other keys on the ring are harder to define, for they represent the keys to the abstractions-knowledge, con- fidence, prestige, and maturity, the qualities that in four short years transform a boasting, awkward, chat- tering, often obnoxious freshman into a gay, poised, serious-minded, confident senior. The seniors of '63 reached their final and perhaps most significant hour in the limelight as they sat capped and gowned ready to receive their diplomas. Together, the seniors filled their class key ring with meaningful accomplishments. Now, the final key, the key to success, to happiness and a full future life is on the ring, however, it is up to each individual class member to earn this key for himself. ROGER P.

So far we have a good foundation with class officers like president, Chris Schweitzerg vice-president, Cheryl Berg, secretary, K. C. Ward, and treasurer, Arlene Pesuth. Before we continue our construction work, we have to purchase a new scale. You see, the old one was broken by the frecord number of mums that were sold by am- bitious juniors for Homecoming. Although the scales were broken, each order for raw materials fsuch as coffee, hot dogs, and doughnutsj was successfully filled at the concession stand during home football games. One more detail we want to mention before We com- plete the frame, which will be constructed of a typical junior's academic subjects, is the fact that you did a good job checking supplies for the coat-check room during the basketball season.

As we again lived through the confusion of the first day of school, we realized that the halls seemed much smaller, the classes much easier to find, and the lockers much less resistant to attempts to open them, We recognized many old faces mixed in among the new, and as the year progressed, we became acquainted with these latest additions. O IS FOR OFFICERS. The sophomore class made a good choice in selecting president, Gary Reineckg vice- president, Charles Peterson, treasurer, Barry Benson, and secretary, Judy McCaslin. P IS FOR PERSEVERANCE. Perseverance wins suc- cess. The class of '65 was justly rewarded for the help their boys gave on the football field when Rochelle captured the NCIC championship. H IS FOR HUMOR.

Hi ya, pardner! Well it's been a trying year. To set you all outsiders straight, here's what happened. On August 30, 1962, 238 ugreenhornsl' were sent to the big ranch called the l'Bar R.T.H.S. On our arrival, we found three other classes, you all know iem. There were a few main differences between us, they were older and had authority which they used to knock us around. Quite a change from eighth grade, uh? The homesteaders explained that these folks, whom we had to look up to, were just tryin' to knock the green out of us. After a few days, er, maybe weeks, we finally got used to the old ranch. Wfe didn't get lost Qtoo muchjg we'finally got accustomed to the sequenced chores fwhich we didn't follow at firstjg and made ourselves known to the older guys and gals. In other words, the green was knocked out of us. We selected four foremen to represent us. They were head foreman Spencer Hayden, assistant foreman Mark Tilton, pencil pusher Debby May, and loot-keeper Gary Frakes. Eight other dudes represented us in the Ranch Hand Council. They were jim Bucher, jack Case, Bob Chadwick, Wfill Gavin, Marilyn Kersten, joey Maxson, Harlan Richards, and Rick Wfyatt. We also had a couple of dudes entertain at the rodeos. Yep, we had a cowgirl, name of Diane Hendrickson, whooping it up on the sidelines and another gal, Debby May, beating it up with a . . . a . . . batonf?j. Then, too, some greenhorns participated in the extracurriculars that were available to us. Among these were jesters, F.T.A., F.F.A., l7.N.A., F.H.A., and the 'Klingon clubs. l TOP ROW: Linda Eckhardt, Edward DeCourcey, jim Cooper, jennene Caspers, Kemmy Elder, Steve Dodson, and Mr. Kyler fadvisorj.

Our com- petition was the neighboring ranches. For the fourth rodeo, Homecoming, we had three blondes, Diane Hen- drickson, Virginia Pierce, and Debby May, running for a place in the Rodeo Queen's court. Afterwards there was a big barn dance. There were a few more square dances after the other rodeos, too. Additional sports became of interest to us dudes, Thus we had big jamborees during the day and attended the games at night or in the afternoon. The first pay checks were passed out about this time. Wow! There were so many disappointed, questioning, astonished, and proud looks. As we discovered, the salary depends upon the amount of work done. If a hand worked up a good salary, he was placed on the Ranch Honor Roll, and his name made good with the homesteaders. Later, more pay checks came our way, and as the re- sult of nine months of hard work, we finally advanced from the freshman to the sophomore class.

The Council also presented a successful fourth annual Variety Show on Saturday, February 23. All members contributed many long hours judging tryouts, attending rehearsals, and publicizing the show. The councilmen initiated two additional projects this year. They looked into the possibility of a constitution for the Council and of securing a foreign exchange student for the 1963-64 school year.

According to Webster, a library is an apartment or building devoted to a collection of books, manuscripts, etc., kept for use, not for sale. This is an appropriate description of the library of Rochelle Township High. Each day that school was in session, more than three hundred people used the librari for various reasons and during that time ,received elp from either the librarians or their assistants. These assistants prepared for their daily work by studying the various library techniques at their bi- monthly meetings. Although the assistants' main duties were checking out books and magazines for their fellow students, they also took on other work. This included shelving books and finding material in reference works about the books, authors, and companies from which the library received supplies and reference books. Besides the work required of them, members also did extra work, such as making displays for the bulletin boards.

A workshop in Dixon, an annual candy sale, a slumber-less party, a play-day at Wfest Rockford, an inviting spring hike, and a basketball clinic at DeKalb composed the schedule. O.A.A. was held two nights a week, Monday and Thursday, for convenience of bus riders and girls who have other obligations. Advisors Miss Fowler and Miss Luhtala noticed, however, that most of the girls were coming hoth nights.

The qualifications for a V-Club member are hard, since each boy has to earn a major letter in one chosen sport. For many future members, the road to the R is a long one full of sweat and hardships, but to those who are fortunate enough to earn this distinction, it is well worth the sacrifice. As in previous years, the Varsity Club engaged in many events. Annually they sponsor an after-the- game dance, an Initiation Banquet, and members usher at the home basketball games.

Secondly, it is a service organization geared particularly to helping in the medical services of the community. Under the direction of Miss Parks, president, Katharine Carneyg vice-president, Audrey Pollardg secretary, Sher- ran Finnestadg treasurer, Joyce Andrew, and service chairmen, Judy Rewerts and Sue Tilton, led the group in performing its regular functions. The Candystripers, a branch of F.N.A., assisted at the Rochelle hospital during the dinner hours, and other members of the club served as hostesses. During the month of December, members concentrated on making decorations, wreaths, and tray favors to cheer hospitalized patients. January and February found club members busily involved with their largest activity, the March of Dimes drive. F.N.A.'ers directed the classroom collections, passed containers during the January 25 game, placed containers in Rochelle stores, and sponsored a dance after the basketball game February 15. In addition, members aided in the Operation Air- lift in January by selling tickets and weighing in customers. F.N.A.'s annual Rose Sale was held Friday and Saturday, February 1 and 2. Any person entering a Rochelle store who contributed to the drive received a rose from the F.N.A. member assigned to that establish- ment. Proceeds from all these events went .directly to the March of Dimes.

Several F.H.A. girls also participated in the annual F.H.A.-F.F.A. skating party. Other activities of the organization in- cluded the spaghetti supper, Heart-Sister week, the annual style show, and the yearly trip to Chicago which completed the calendar.

The new school year brought many new changes and new faces to the Rochelle Chapter of the Future Teachers of America. One of the new changes was in the sponsor- ship of this club. Mr. Armstrong became the new sponsor and Miss Long, the new co-sponsor. Projects to raise money for the S50 scholarship given at the end of the year included the sponsorship of coat-checks at public functions and a bake sale. Another project was the Thanksgiving dance, Pilgrim Rock, after the first home basketball game. Another activity of the club is the teacher-helper program from which students gather information and knowledge of some of a teacheris duties. Special speakers were invited to some meetings to inspire members of the club. On April 19 and 20. delegates from the club at- tended the IAFTA State Convention at Springfield where they voted for state officers. Also, junior and senior members of the chapter visited a local school which specializes in the area in which they are interested in teaching to learn more about their future occupation. President, Sue Haydeng vice-president, Barbara Quan- tockg secretary, Margaret Nefsteadg and treasurer, Nancy Lehr led the members of Future Teachers through an interesting and educational year.

Each member is given an opportunity to study the radio code and radio theory to enable him to take a test from the Federal Communica- tions Commission and earn his amateur operator's license. The club has its own amateur radio station, the call letters of which are W9FGL. This station permits operators to talk to other amateurs all over this country and foreign countries. Many topics enter the con- versations, but radio is the most common. The Projectionists Club is primarily a service or- ganization. The members learn how to operate various kinds of audio-visual equipment and then assist the teachers as needed. Some members have also served the community in such ways as showing cancer films to various groups and films to migrant workers during the summer. Since movie projectors, slide projectors, and tape recorders are becoming common household items, in- formation concerning them should benefit members in their adult life, commented advisor Mr. Nelson. 1962-63 officers were: president, Roger Ahlensdorfg vice-president, Bill Halsey, and secretary-treasurer, Gale Biers.

Cutler Cells Story af I r lfcrzr Thirteen veteran workers of the Taller staff returned this fall to be greeted by editor-in-chief Mary Hintzsche, and their new advisor, Miss Lind-. Gradually new members were picked up and put through the drills of yearbook work until the staff finally evolved to an organization of twenty members. Editors Mary Hintzsche, janet Ackland, Cheryl Berg, Margaret Nefstead, and Lynn Kettleson decided, as a result of their summit meetings, that Keys to Suc- cess was the right theme for the 1963 Taller. Eight new pages were added to the yearbook, which adequately illustrates that R.T.H.S. is a growing community of students. Immediately following the planning of a dummy, work on the Taller began. It continued until the very last second of the last deadline. Fond memories will ever remain in the minds of Trzfler staff members.

They are already thinking about plans for the next newspaper. To see that the newspapers were counted for distribution to 9th period classes and prepared for mailing to Ro-To subscribers was an important part of the routine work in Room 216. Katharine Carney, Carol Reed, Bob Hopper, Nancy Williams were the main factor in the speed and efficiency with which this was completed. Sylvia Whitener concentrates on copyreading stories turned in for the early deadline, while Paula Eber finishes typing a piece of copy. After the typed copy has been set by the printer, staff members must carefully examine the galley proofs for possible error. Doing this task are Tom Marshall, Judy Rewerts, and Bonita Prewett. One of the largest and most capable staffs in the history of Ro-To-Hi-Life manned the 1962-63 editions of the student newspaper. Mrs. Stotmeister advised the 45-member staff through its 13 issues with the assistance of executive editor, Barbara Thomas, assistant editor, Arlene Pesuthg feature editor, Jeanne Charng and sports editor, Chris Krainak. The staff itself was divided into nine categories-reporb ing, copyreading, proofreading, typing, page make-up, headlining, counting, distribution and error analysis fa new department organized to locate errors in each issue, to discover who made them, and to show how these mistakes can be avoidedj. Besides continuing time-honored traditions, the Ro-To- Hi-Life introduced changes for the '62-'63 school year. The creation of Lab Blah, the green-printed Christmas issue, as well as excellent feature and editorial material, spiced the regular four-column format. This year, the R0-To-Hi-Life did not print a special senior issue be- cause of rising printing costs C3100 for the senior issue alonej, but gave the senior class the choice of financing the last issue or printing the edition themselves. Editors for the '62-'63 R0-To-Hi-Life were well- qualified: Barbara Thomas and Arlene Pesuth attended a week-long journalism seminar at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, in June of 1962. Chris Krainak and Hzzblifzer writer Roger Williams attended a one-day journalism seminar sponsored by the Chicago Tribznze in November of 1962. Feature editor Jeanne Charn re- ceived valuable information and ideas concerning the editorial and feature at the National Scholastic Press Association convention held in Chicago during November, 1962. Much feature and editorial material for the paper was a product of the new English IV fjournalismj class conducted by Mrs. Stotmeister. 73 f f . , ...

Not to be outdone by other organizations and activities, the Music Department of R.T.H.S. also presented a championship performance for the '62-'63 school year. Under the direction of Mr. Willard Gieske, Mr. Charles Engle, and Mr. Robert Erbes, instruments and vocal cords were tuned to perfection. Passing trucks, limited space for changing uniforms, and incorrect assembly of an instrument before a solo performance alladded to the confused but nevertheless memorable experiences of the music organizations.

The choir also sang at the Christmas concert, a special orchestra-vocal concert, and the annual spring concert. Marching band had a memorable year, if cold feet, dripping uniforms, and numb fingers can be called memorable. The seventeen performances included not only R.T.H.S. half-time shows, but also appearances at Harvard, Evanston, and the N.I.U. Homecoming. Prep band, the training ground of concert band, hit a few sour notes at first, but as the year drew to a close, many of its members were promoted. The orchestra, dressed in new uniforms, was in the public eye often this year. Besides performing before the Jester and Senior plays, it participated in the Christmas concert, winter concert, spring concert, a West Chicago exchange program, and the Mississippi Valley Orchestra Festival. The orchestra wound up the year by playing for graduation. Though lacking in size, 5th hour Varsity Girls' Cho- rus had enough talent to go a long way. Mixed Chorus, however, consisted of a large group of underclassmenfmostly beginners. Wfith Mr. Gieske's patience and lots of vocal power, they shaped up for all their performances. Four R.T.H.S. music enthusiasts traveled to all-state: Mike Tracy, Carla Cook, Katharine Carney, and Ralph Pullin. All these, together with dance band, dinner ensemble, German band, concert band, madrigals and the organ classes, combined to form one championship year.

On November 9, 1962, at 8 p.m. the curtain parted to present 'The Diary of Anne Frank, an unforgettable play by the jesters. The plot, written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, centered around Anne Frank, a strong-willed Jewish girl, portrayed by Martha Maxson. Anne, haunted by the threat of Nazi capture, lived in a dreary warehouse attic with her parents Mr. Frank QBob Bondanj, and Mrs. Frank CLinda Strawbridgej, the Van Daans QCarol Birkland and Hal Hayesj, their son Peter fDon Peckj, and Mr. Dussel CDon Kapraunj. These people were supplied with necessities from the out- side world by Miep fSurita Hallj and Mr. Kraler CGilbert Pinterj. Student director Sandra Erikson helped Mr. Bennett with the production of this well-received play. With the closing of the curtain, the words of a young, terrified Jewish girl rang through the auditorium: In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart. A barren warehouse attic in Amsterdam, Holland, was transformed into living-quarters for the Franks, the Van Daans, and Mr. Dussel. 83 ff ,i mf Vw 'WIT' f Y , . 2' fb is 5' Q -1 11 ,Q .

Once again, ,Homecoming activities created an at- mosphere of excitement and tension with many treasured memories for students and alumni of R.T.H.S. Excitement and determination were developed at the Homecoming pep rally where Bender's bruisers'were portrayed by senior girls in a rousing bruising battle. At their victorious 31-6 clash with the Mendota Trojans, the fighting Hubs were backed by loyal students, con- cerned parents, interested teachers, returning alumni, and other supporting fans. A tense half-time ceremony 86 yielded the crowning of the Homecoming royalty: Susan Maxson, Queen of the Courtg Bruce Gunn, fullback, Homecoming Kingg Susan Barnes, junior attendantg Joyce Trowbridge, sophomore attendantg and Debby May, freshman attendant. Romantic melodies filled the air as couples drifted across the floor to the music of Perry Long at the annual Homecoming Dance climaxing a night of excitement and enjoyment. After weeks of careful preparation and hopeful anticipation, the anxiety was snapped as the 1962 queen was announced during the- half-time cere- monies. I 96 Hub J-fvmecrwfzirzg The 1962-63 favorites who were selected by the boys in their classes were Debbie May, freshman attendantg Joyce Trowbridge, sophomore attend- antg and Susan Barnes, junior attendant. The evening was brought to a close as the dancers enjoyed the dreamy and enchanting tones of Perry Long and his orchestra. One of the highlights of the eve- ning was the coronation dance led off by the royal couple, Queen Susan Maxson and King Bruce Gunn.

EQ--3 5515 ss i ?23'W1 For the first time in history, the Hub grid machine ran under full steam throughout the entire season to post a perfect record. The machines designer, Coach Ed Bender, and its engineer, quarterback Peter jones, with the help of firemen Bruce Gunn and Lynn Kettleson, ran full power to amass a total of 301 points to 33 for the opponents. The punch of speedy backs, along with a hard-crashing line, was a main reason for the high tallies in the grid clashes. Not only did the Hubs have an exceptional of- fense, but also a rugged defense which held opponents to low scores. The Hubs averaged 37.6 points'per game to their opponents' -1.1. The Hubs took a stiff opener from a tough Sycamore outfit by a close margin of 14-7, The win proved to be the end of a 33 game winning streak that the Spartans had compiled in four years. The Hubs were first to tally when, in the second period, Augie Eckhardt crossed the stripe for the T.D. Midway in the third period, Bruce Gunn added the second touchdown. The game tensed up when Sycamore added a tally, but they were unable 676' Ehumps Peter jones receives the Ellis Trophy from Athletic Di- rector XV i l l i am Helms. to repeat the task and the Hubs were soon on the victory trail that would last throughout the season. The next victim of the Bendermen was a Dixon eleven, who came to the R.T.H.S. gridiron in an attempt to crush the Hubs, but were sent back to Dixon dragging a 47-O defeat with them. The R.T.H.S. grid eleven opened conference play dropping Rock Falls 43-O. The Rockets never posed a serious threat. Before a record homecoming crowd, the Hubs battered Mendota, the defending conference champion, 31-6. Rochelle's speed and deception were more than a match for Trojan size as they scored twice in the first period and twice in the second to roll up a 25-O half-time score. Mendotals only score came late in the closing minutes of the final period. Geneseo was next to fall under the powerful Hub squad by a 55-13 score. Hampered by mud and rain, the Hubs were held to a 20-O margin by a Princeton ball club. This win left the Hubs tied with Hall Township for the conference title. .

This seemed to give the Hubs time to settle down as they soon hammered out their first tally midway in the second period when Bruce Gunn romped twenty-two yards for the marker. Augie Eckhardt and Dave Snyder each added markers before the half to give the Hubs a 21-0 half-time lead. The Hubs added three more T.D.'s before the Red Devils added their lone tally. After another marker, the Hubs left the field with a 46-7 win and the NCTC Conference championship. The Hubs finished the season with an impressive 45-0 win over an ambitious Harlem club. The only serious Husky threat came in the final period when they crossed the Hub five-yard line three times only to be thrown back by the Hub defensive unit. All told, the Hubs amassed 2,345 yards on the ground Lynn Kettleson dis- plays the Hackett Trophy, the most valuable p l a y e r award. and 722 in the air, giving them a grand total of 3,067 yards and a game average of 383 yards. Halfback Augie Eckhardt led the Hub scoring attack with 72 points and 824 yards, averaging 9 yards per carry. Seven of the Hubs received berths or places of honor- abel mention on various All-State teams. These were tackle Lynn Kettleson, halfback Augie Eckhardt, full- back Bruce Gunn, quarterback Peter Jones, end Dave Wickness, center Bob Fich, and end Fritz Harms. A large banquet crowd saw Pete Jones and Lynn Kettleson reap the honors. Quarterback Pete jones, who did a splendid job in that spot this season, received the Ellis Trophy for sportsmanship. The apt field general passed for a total of 604 yards and 7 touchdowns. All- state tackle, Lynn Kettleson, received the Hackett Trophy for the most valuable player. The co-captain played an important role in the line leading plays and stopping his opponents- dead in their tracks. The road to the goalposts is being opened by hard- working linemen who pave the way for backs. 5 , , . , w as-.fz.fi1i2mvi-ai f we, Q,.g1 i, 1ife 1mz: TOP ROW: Coach Lukehart, Ben Zintak, Tom Graves, john Wall, jim Anthenat, Dave Olson, Larry Herring Doug Fyke Spencer Hayden, Carson Brooks, and Coach Skoglund.

Hublets Elinch N614 The Hublets exhibited some very exciting perform- ances as they breezed through the 1962 season with a 7-1-0 record. They opened the season by trouncing Sycamore 40-7. In this game, Larry Herring and Spencer Hayden scored two touchdowns apiece. Next in line was Dixon who sneaked past the Hublets 25-20, with both Hayden and Herring again galloping over the goal line. To revenge the Dixon game the Hublets went on to romp over Rock Falls 35-O with Herring scoring all five touchdowns. From there, the Hublets set their aims for the powerful Trojans, and beat Mendota 20-0. Denny Starns was commended for his work on defense. The Hublet machine then marched on to slaughter Geneseo 41-O and drowned out Princeton 26-0. The powerful machine continued its long march and met the Hall Township eleven for the conference cham- pionship. With overpowering offensive and defensive play, the Hublets whipped the Little Red Devils 16-7. Dan Downey blocked a punt for a safety and in another play Herring romped 54 yards for a touchdown. With the NCIC championship clinched in one hand, the Hublets finished the season by footing the Harlem Puppies a 34-20 loss. Coach Lukehart commented, The team Worked as a unit and not as individuals. This factor made the win- ning season possiblef, Coaches Lukehart, Skoglund, and McMahon can be commended for their superb job of coaching the team on to its victory. 92 Bob Malone, Denny Starns, and jim Manning ready their defensive po- sitions for an oncoming game.

The Hublets opened their new season with a very convincing win over DePue. Gary Reineck paved the way with 24 points, as the Rochelle five emerged with a 64-33 victory. The team was soon to realize that a rough schedule lay ahead of them. Mt. Morris tossed them for a loss, but the spirited five came back to shatter West Rockford's conceit, 33-30. In their first conference play, the Little Hubs displayed excellent teamwork as Harlan Richards led Ro- chelle in a victory over Dixon. The next night, the team showed poor defense and consequently, lost to the Guilford cagers. FROSH SCOREBOARD The second conference battle was fought on the Geneseo boards, where Rochelle's Dave Olson pumped in 19 points to give the Hublets another deserving victory. From there, the Hublets dropped two close games to Kewanee and Ottawa, thus giving them a 2-2 confer- ence mark. Sycamore was then easy bait for the reveng- ing five. The rest of the season seemed to be a conglomeration of wins and losses, as the plucky Hublets faced their opponents each time with fresh 'vigor and determination. The team worked well together and most of the bench was given a chance to play. Although the team only posted an average season, the prospects for next year seem excellent. The Frosh squad Went through the season with a marvelous 12-1 record, the best in recent school history.

Although it did not live up to expected hopes, the R.T.H.S. wrestling squad provided thrills for fans this season as they punched out victories over such schools as Rock Falls, Polo, Sycamore, and Princeton. With the aid of Coach Joe Hall and Assistant Bill Kontos from N.I.U., the Hubs posted a 7-4 dual meet season.

Rochelle Township High School, like any other organi- zation, runs smoothly only when each part is doing its job correctly, The custodians, cafeteria workers, and bus drivers are a vital p. ff of the R.T.H.S. organization, and without them, it would falter and fail. The cafeteria workers keep the school fed. Planning daily meals, serving dinners for special occasions, and washing and drying hundreds of dishes, are only a portion of their average work load. Still, excellent results are consistently turned out. The custodians assure a well-maintained school for the students. With their brooms sweeping in a never-ending circuit, they are always busy. Wfithout them, R.T.H.S. would lack its clean, neat appearance. The bus drivers let neither rain nor sleet nor snow stop them. They provide transportation to games as well as to school each day. Wfith yelling and shrieking from their passengers, plus hazardous road conditions, these men have developed nerves of steel, and have become indis- pensable.

The Hubs were sparked by a fine pitching staff com- prised of Augie and Tom Eckhardt and John Schmidt. Augie led the group by pitching 68 conference innings and giving up 11 runs for an earned run average of 1.13. He compiled a record of seven victories and two losses. Tom Eckhardt compiled 5-O and john Schmidt 1-2. Other capable performers were john Sammons, who led the batting with a percentage of 575, two doubles, one single, and one home run, and Phil May and Gary Hoffman, who each had four homers and four doubles. Outstanding games of the season were Augie Eck- hardtls no-hitter against Belvidere and the 12-inning vic- tory over East Rockford at the East field. The Belvidere game, which clinched a tie for the RVC title, was won in the eighth inning when Gary Reineck scored all the way from second on a ground ball. The East game was sparked by Augie Eckhardt, who pitched the last seven innings- giving up only one hit, and by Phil May, who hit his second home run of the game in the twelfth inning to finish the game.

Three seniors contributing to the success were Peter jones, Roger Hamm, and Bill Halsey. In the conference tournament the Hub- clubs ran into determined opposition, but came home with a tie for third place. 9-1-1 was the victory cry of the second team, whose inexperience did not hinder their outstanding play.
