TO THE CLASS OF 1946 Your four previous classes graduated into a world of war. The class of 1946 is graduating from the Rochester High School at a time when the world is formulating plans for a lasting peace! This is a challenge to you to find a worthy place in the world. The opportunities are unlimited and there is a tremendous personal responsibility for each and everyone of you. Today there is a call for strong determination and the will to succeed. Capable young men and women with firm American principles and ideals are the essential requirements today. In the world of peace, persons with an appreciation of the problems of the employer and employee are badly needed. The world must have straight thinking people in order to assure a lasting peace. The straight thinking people who are to build this lasting peace are you—the graduating class of 1946! You are the ones who must have tolerance, sympathetic understanding, and con- structive thought to enter the world of today. The problem of local growth toward a better community lies within your power, you, the class of 1946, the youth of today! If Rochester is to escape a static future, it will be the obliga- tien of each and everyone of you, the dynamic graduates of today, to build upon the inadequacies of the present minimum facilities for the future. Peace should and must be glamorous as opposed to the tragedy of war. In these turbulent days of reconversion we must work shoulder to shoulder to form a lasting peace as yesterday we did to win the war. The splendid cooperation of wartime teamwork is needed to develop a better community with an extensive educational system, an industrial future, and a pleasant social life in this our world of today. The future is in your hands. Make the best of it and so not let this glorious opportunity to build for a lasting peace slip through your fingers, for the world is looking to you for helpful assistance and progressive ideas. Good luck, Graduates of Rochester High School class of 1946!

VandenBerghe P. Johnson P. Johnson September, 1942—but the old halls no longer looked the same. Or were we seeing them through different eyes?—Freshmen at last entering upon our final four years with hopes and anticipations—we attended many activities and many new acquaintances were made. Some of our members became active in athletics. The year was full of memories, and we returned in the fall of 1943 with great expectations, eager to carry on where we had left off in June. A slight weight on the third finger, right hand, was felt as we received our class rings. This and the initiation of our famous “Hick Hop” proved the big events of our Sophomore year. The following year we were quite dance-minded. Again we sponsored the “Hick Hop” (by this time quite a tradition), the “Sweater Swing,” and “Fermentation Frolic.” All this was in preparation of the big event of the year, “The J-Hop,” held on April 6, 1945. The year’s activities were concluded with a moonlight sail on St. Clair Lake. On September 6, 1945, we entered our Senior Year with some regrets having lost a few of our members to the armed forces. Immediately after our organization, the class play, “Every Family Has One,” was put under way. It was a great success, thanks to the cooperation of the cast and the superb direction of Miss Eloise Tallant. The money making Seniors decided to sell Christmas cards, and they also put on a Christmas raffle. Both campaigns were successful and our financial standing was greatly improved. On May 21, joyful Seniors packed their suitcases and departed via boat to Buffalo and Niagara Falls for their Senior trip. Plans for the Senior Prom were carried out with great success on the night of June 7. Tearful eyed but happy Seniors attended their last dance while members of the student body. Then came the big moment we had been awaiting for four years — Commencement Week. Our caps and gowns arrived and we paraded the halls while underclassmen enviously looked on—and then Baccalaureate, Honors Conference, and finally Graduation. We left behind us wonderful memories—memories that shall never fade, memories of our high school days, the happiest days of our lives. We, the Senior class, shall go forth into a peaceful world to live and take our places as citizens.

Sparman J. Young M. Peters As we, the junior class, review the past three years, it seems impossible that they could pass with such rapidity. Our first year was spent in hard study and we were proud of our group at the annual Honors Conference. When, September, 1944 rolled around, we packed up our piles of books and came back to school as mighty Sophomores. One of the first things we did was to order class rings, and we now flash our right hands with great pride. On May 18 we gave a very successful dance entitl ed the “Maypole Follies,” which included the crowning of a May Queen. After a carefree summer, we came back as JUNIORS. When elections were over, our first move was to decorate the gym with a drug store setting and present a very novel dance, “The Loafer Leap.” We began early planning for the “highlight” of our junior year, the “J-Hop,” which we held on April 26. We have learned and accomplished a great deal in our junior year and we are now looking forward to an even more interesting and profitable year when we at last become Seniors. M. Mather G. Mathews B.

Rewold L. Shephard Secretary H. Hayward B. Mason Treasurer J. Warren B. Boyney Under the capable leadership of our officers we began our high school career. At the start, little thought was given to class or social activity. After the first few weeks of high schol curriculum, we knew that we had to spend considerable time with our books, but we were willing to sacrifice our first half year of pleasure to create a good impression upon our teachers. In September, 1944, we returned with ideas for a rosy future. After election of officers, class rings were foremost in our minds. We soon settled this problem and set to planning our big dance of the year—the annual “May Day Dance.” We are looking forward to our junior year with high ambition. No picture available: H.

Sutton A roller skating party was held during the fall semester. Riggle’s Rink was reserved for the occasion. It proved to be a great success. Every Freshman indirectly felt his “greenest” in the presence of his upperclassmen. Many of us did not know how to dance, and this kept a lot of students away from the school parties. As a remedy, we have held dance sessions in the gym on Thursdays during homeroom period. Begin- ning with the “Grand March” we have graduated to “square dancing” and finally “round dancing.” Our final party of the year was a picnic held at the Avon Township Park. As this class grows from year to year we sincerely hope each student will contribute his best to make it the kind of class of which he is proud., , No pictures available: Mr. J.

The extent of her influence on others can never be completely known because a vital personality continues through the lives it touches. Throughout her twenty-five years of professional life here, she has won the affectionate regard of students and friends. This is in itself a testimony of her interest in them as persons and of her sympathy and encouragement. Under her efficient leadership, the Junior High School has shown a continual progress. The Student Council was formed through her guidance and students began taking an active part in such activities as bond and magazine drives, Junior Red Cross, school sports, extra-curricular activities, and shop and home making. Many a graduate points with pride to our beauty spot, the Junior High Garden, remembering that Miss Knorpp always believed, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Miss Knorpp so often speaks of what a privilege has been her association with so many fine young men and women who have passed through the doors of Rochester High School. Many, upon returning, find their way to her door. She says that there are none better, and it makes work a joy when one realizes it has not been in vain; that these leaders of the future have taken advantage of that offered them in life and have given back in full measure. We, the present student body and members of the alumni, extend our appreciation to her for all of the time and talent she has so unselfishly given. We hope success and happiness may be with her always. JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL Sitting: S. Swords, B. Vogue, P. Shaw, J. Flanigan, E. Aldrich Standing: Miss Knorpp, C. De Lao, G. McVeigh, D.

Jackson (M) In early September about 40 enthusiastic boys reported for football practice. Coach Konley, with Coach DeGroot assisting, soon had developed the boys into something that looked like a team. ; Two weeks later a practice game between the first and second teams was staged so that the coaches could find the weak spots and try to remedy them. The boys went into their hard schedule with excellent coaching and with much enthusiasm. Rochester 6—Milford 0. Although the Falcons looked weak on offensive play, they pushed across one score and held Milford scoreless to win their first game of the season. Rochester 0—Pontiac B 0. The rain started before the game, and in the resulting soggy, muddy, field, the two elevens fought to a scoreless tie. The Falcons outclassed Pontiac but, because of fumbles and weak offensive play, they were unable to score. Rochester 20--—-Imlay 19. The Falcons, showing better offensive work, won their first Tri-County game from Imlay City. Paced by Dick Allen’s end arounds and Mitzelfeld’s bucks, the Falcons squeezed out their victory over a very determined team. Rochester 45—Lake Orion 13. Even though they were caught napping on two spread passes which resulted in scores, the Falcons made seven scores to win their second Tri-County game. Rochester 13—Lapeer 0. More satisfaction was forthcoming to Rochester’s fans and the Falcons, holding Lapeer scoreless, pushed the pigskin across the goal line twice for their third Victory in Tri-County games. Rochester 20—Romeo 13. For the last fourteen years the Falcons have been defeated by Romeo. This year, however, things were different because Rochester defeated Romeo in a hard-fought contest to win their fourth Tri-County game. This victory made the season a success. Oxford 25—Rochester 6. This was the heartbreaking game as the Falcons suffered their only defeat to Oxford’s mighty eleven. Paced by Kessler’s speedy runs, the visitors made four scores against the Falcons’ one. Oxford, the winner of this game, was Tri-County champion. Rochester 33—Kastland 6. In the final game of the season, the Falcons looked weak in the first half but came back stronger in the second half to win 33-6. This was the last game in which the Seniors could play football for Rochester. Reserves: Row 1: R. Rathke, V. Fulk, E. Miller, J. Kitchen, D. Sheldon Row 2: L. Boyd, F. Ebarra, N. Cromie, B.

The moral support given by the enthusiastic fans was by far the greatest Rochester has ever seen and the local townspeople seemed to take as much interest in the games as the students. Sparked by three returning lettermen, Miller, B. Smith, and Bartholomew, the Falcons won all but two tilts. ; In the District Tournament at Ferndale they lived up to their name, coming through in the last quarter to beat a favored Berkeley five. The following night the boys encountered tough opposition from Birmingham and dropped this one, thus ending the best season in many years. 50 ee, perenne pesca te EN igh ne iamet stom Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester Rochester .

They show promise of being future Tri-County Champs with a little hard work and perseverance. Dick Allen, capable center, led all scorers with 97 points for the season plus a tournament 13 for a grand total of 110 points. Melvin Peters was next, being acting captain, and a very valuable guard. Jack Burr shows fine promise as a basketball great, and Bill Johnson will be in every game pitching.

The baseball team of this season had 1 reputation to live up to as the year before Rochester was Tri-County champion. This year the Faleons, coached by Adrian DeGroot, had some excellent pitching by Bob Swarthout and excellent fielding. This enabled the Falcons to be Tri-County champions in baseball for the second consecutive year. Rochester 3—-Utica 3. This game was a pre-conference game to give the Falcons needed experience. With Bob Swarthout pitching, the game was played to a 3-3 tie, Utica would have won except for a nice running catch in right field by Tom Drewes. ; Rochester 10—Lake Orion 3. This was a close game until the sixth inning when the Falcons broke loose and scored enough runs to coast easily to their first Tri-County game. Rochester 5—Romeo 4. Romeo took a lead and held it until a fluke play gave Rochester the lead and the game. Dick Forbush was on second with Bart at bat. Bart bounced back and hit him, making the ball dead. However, Forbush went to third without being called back. This was the Falcons’ second Tri-County victory. Rochester 2—Oxford 1. This could be called Tom Drewes’ day as he had a perfect day at bat. Behind some excellent pitching by “Buster,” the Falcons squeezed their third Tri-County victory. Rochester 4—Imlay City 2. The Falcons played a good game where everything seemed to go right. This was the Falcons’ fourth Tri-County victory. Rochester 9—Lapeer 2. Behind some excellent pitching by “Buster” Swarthout, and some hitting by Bart, the Falcons easily won their fifth and final Tri-County game. Almont 9—Rochester 4. Withethe usual after season slump, the Falcons dropped this game to Almont. The Almont team seemed to be long hitters and were able to hit curve balls. Season—Won 5, tied 1, lost 1. Conference—Won 5, lost 0. Tri-County Champions. First place in conference. All conference. 54 Row 1: D. Varga, J. Spencer, P. Johnson, Miss Balister, E. Frazer, E. Abrego Row 2: L. Haggadone, B.

Rochester certainly has shown its pep this year by having a large group of cheerleaders to cheer our team on to victory. The second team received its support from the new group while the regular cheerleaders concentrated on the Varsity team. Our captain for this year has been Pat Johnson, who with the cooperation of the cheering group, has succeeded in bringing forth many new yells and adding pep to the games. Kneeling: J. Stumpf, D. Brode Standing: J. Goldsworthy, P. Rewold, V. Bailey, Miss Balister, H. Hayward, B. Whims, W. Coltson Tennis has been the outstanding girls’ sport for a number of years. It encourages active competition both among the girls within school and with other schools. The intramural tournament helps to select those girls that will represent Rochester in the .| State contest. Plans are being made to play other schools. If girls win a certain number of games, letters will be awarded. } 7. | | 56 | Row 1: G. Ladd, J. Stumpf, P. Johnson, W. Smith, V. Juengel, Mr. Stringer, D. Pury Row 2: J. Thompson, D. Brown, T.

This year, the group worked out a plan for after-game dances which proved very successful. : During the second semester, an amendment to the constitution was passed which provided that the Council would meet every other week, the Committees of the Council meeting on alternate weeks, thus facilitating the business. Hall Monitors, directly under the Council’s guidance, have succeeded in keeping the halls clean, directing visitors, and preventing loitering. HALL MONITORS Row 1: N. Kage, W. Largent, P. Galvin, D.

Case COUNCILOR Every other Friday, during the homeroom period, you will see students eagerly watching the door for the entrance of the Councilor salesmen. With the advent of the new printing press, the circulation of the paper has increased; and our editors, Joy Goldsworthy and Norma Jeane Schields, can be found almost any time checking up on one or more of their twenty reporters. Everyone agrees that the new paper is far superior to the old, and we take this opportunity to thank Mr. Cofer, Miss Willits, and their staff for their excellent work. N. Schields, J. Stumpf, J.

Ask one of these new members how he liked rolling matches with his nose. Thanks to the Student Council, the next day in school was a fairly peaceful one for them. Right after initiation, characters were chosen for the pageant “America Preferred” which was given during American Education Week. Everyone was given an opportunity to participate in this production. For many, it was a first public appearance but it proved a big success. The performance was colurful with costumes from every nation. It was an impressive appeal to the American citizens to support their government in peace by continuing the purchase of bonds. Plans are now being made for the spring play, “The Life of the Party” by Marrijane and Joseph Hayes. This lively comedy will be presented on the evenings of May 23 and 24. 61 ee ee SAS SRI Tame fee ivcnaenaccaneeraemrn winestvionate Le ae oe 2 i E i : sun atarany vps Seite yS rte nempanmninre meal FeSO VINA ee DEBATE Row 1: L.

Not only is there a Senior High Varsity Band of fifty members, which held a most successful concert May 9, but also Cadet and Beginners Bands and an assembly orchestra, which pre- sented a spring concert. In addition, we boost several Pep Bands that play at basketball games, a Novelty Band whose chief function is to add a laugh to almost any program, and, last but not least, an wp-and-coming Dance Orchestra that already has played for several out-of-school functions. Considering all things, we have enjoyed a most prosperous year. PEP BAND Row 1: M. Kurta, S. Johnson, K. Severance, J. Wold, J. King, A. Teaphiectts Knust, J. Tomlins Row 2: E. Maitrott, D.

Early in the year, these organizations combined their choral talents for the Pageant, “America Preferred,” presented during National Education Week in cooperation with the Footlights Club. In December, ‘they presented the traditional Christmas Concert, appearing both as separate and combined groups. Members of the Choir did an especially fine job by their singing of the “Carol of the Bells.” They participated in the Kiwanis Christmas Broadcast and at various chapel services. The start of the second semester saw the choir become a Girl’s Glee Club. The final appegrance for the group was at the annual Spring Concert. GIRL’S GLEE CLUB Row 1: M. Fields, L. Schulert, J.

The girls have been unusually active this year, having participated in programs for the Woman’s Club, Student Assemblies, Kiwanis Club, the G.A.A. Talent Show, and the annual Christmas and Spring Musicale. If you have been near the music room any noon, you have heard the harmonies of the boys’ quartette. The four appeared at the athletic banquet in the fall with some “Gay 90’s” numbers and showed their abilities again at the Christmas Program. Goodfellowship and enjoyment of music is shown by these groups in the simpte harmonizing of a small ensemble. SEXTETTE . E. Brown, W. Coltson, E. Hubbard. B. Whims, D. Scott, W.

Little Two sections of our Science Department this year are Aeronautics and Radio. The Aeronautics Club has made an interesting and informative study of Aviation, and the fundamental divisions of Aeronautics, Aerodynamics, Power Plants, Navigation, and Meteorol- ogy. Under the supervision of Mr. Hartung, we are sure that in the air-minded future of our country it will be of real value to us. The Radio group deals with the principles and developments of the radio receiver from crystal detector to the present-day superheterodyne set. The study of detection, tuning, and demodulation are dealt with. As the student progresses to each stage of development of receiver, a set is made to confirm his theoretical knowledge. Later, time is devoted to electrical theory. transmitters, and more advanced aspects of radio. NOmerAarPA OR Fe me weit Meare oes FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Row 1: H. Froehlick, L.

One of the big events of the year is the celebration of the Saturnalia, one of the most interest- ing festivals of the Roman people. It gives opportunity to the members of the club to study the social life and custom of the Roman people and thus supplements in an interesting way text book knowledge of the Latin course. x LIBRARY Student participation in the care of the library has proved helpful to both the student body and the faculty. Our group of librarians have become well versed in library procedures and methods. It has not been all work for the group either. Social activities such as our excursion to Greenfield Village were high lights of educational as well as social functions. Row 1: E. Harlyvetch, R. Tomicic, J.

Not a game was played without representatives of these groups on the field of action to carry out the desires of the team members and to boost our athletic program. The Booster Club, made up of two members of each homeroom, is divided into several sections—some handling the ticket sales at the games and others, the parking and advertising. These groups, under the guidance of members of the athletic committee, accomplished a great deal toward the financial success of the season. ATHLETIC MANAGERS G. Miller, B. Brim, B.
