The students showed prowess in practically every field they entered, rang- ing from aces on the hardwood court to top-flight musicians. Each dance, play, or contest that took place, added a chap- ter in this 1943 MANITOU RIPPLES. 1 5 Mr it gl X AB Y l 'S s l ill , i - t, Q l l ' i Gprcler ojf flee . . BO0KS THE H00 IS the story of our faculty, their education, and their attempts to diffuse among us a part of their store of wisdom SIER SCHOOLMASTER ' and knowledge. WE is the story of our classes, their history, and their activities during the school year of 1942-1943. THE FUN OF year and its activities, including plays, dances, and assembly IT is the history of this programs. CAPTAINS COUR Y of our athletic teams, their ability, and their accomplishments during the 1942-1943 season. AGEOUS is the histor mzzflzioz' 1 'lui'lz01f' This meager ledger was pieced together by a small group of the senior class whose interest was to record the activities of the past school year in which YOU, the students, have participated. The main factor and guiding hand in compiling these facts was the spon- sor of the class of 1943, Miss Mary Bushong. Donating both time and effort to the cause, Joe Sparks, Editor-in-chief, and Lois Herendeen, Business Manager, were aided by the remainder of the staff. We sincerely hope that this inadequate history will serve as a reminder of the gala happenings of the R. H. S. students through the past school year. . .

The refining characteristics of tolerance, loyalty, and sympathy which are the basis of peace and good will among students and which we find personified in the life of our faculty have won for them not only the respect and admiration of the students, but also of the community. Their zeal, tact, and constant devotion toward the progress of Rochester High School have been responsible for our rapid advancement among the schools of our State. F. W.

IIISTIIBY In the fall of 1939 a group of green freshmen, entered the portals of dear old Rochester High. Of this number 49 remained to graduate in 1943. The class first gained fame by presenting'A-plusser Lois Herendeen for the honor roll and Doyne Hoover for the District Latin Contest. The class was also represented by a large number of members in all sports, especially in basketball where six sweaters were awarded. In its third year the class organized and chose Miss Bushong as spon- sor. The following oificers were elected: Joe Sparks, president, Jack Kil- lion, vice-president, Doyne Hoover, secretary, and Mary E. Moore, treas- urer. In January the class sponsored a motion picture, One Foot In Heaven, at the Times Theatre. In April Spring Fever, a very successful play, was presented. The class entertained the seniors at a reception held at the New West Side Hotel on May 22. In the senior year the following officers were elected: Jack Killion, president, Bill Krieghbaum, vice-president, Wanda Remy, secretaryg and Harriett Hogue, treasurer. On October 30 the class presented a play, Sweet Sixteen. Also sponsored by the class were: a bake sale, a motion picture, White Cargo , and a dance. During the year, ice cream, candy, apples, cokes, and hot dogs were sold at the home basketball games and at the sec- tional tourney. All these activities were directed toward raising money for the publication of the 1943 Manitou Ripples. Among the seniors holding other ofiices were: Mary E. Moore, Girl Reserve president, Kathryn Rogers, acting Girl Reserve president, Lois Herendeen, GAA president, Janis Reed, Station R. H. S. editor first semes- ter, Doyne Hoover, Station R. H. S. editor second semester, Joe Sparks, ed- itor-in-chief of Manitou Ripplesg and Tom DuBois, Hi-Y president. On May 21 the senior class was entertained by the juniors at a prom. The following Sunday, baccalaureate services were held at the Methodist Church. Their high school career concluded with commencement exercises held at the Whitmer Gym, May 26, at which Mr. Preston Bradley gave the address. The D. A. R. good citizenship award, which is given annually to a senior girl, was received by Mary E. Moore. The class honor roll for four years follows : Lois Herendeen, Honorable Mention : Valedictorian . 4.78 Bill Krieghbaum . . . 3.46 Maurice Sadowsky . 4.04 Don Potter ' ' ' 328 . .

IIISTIIBY In September, 1940, 93 freshies entered the portals of R. H. S. The first two years were taken lightly, but the third year found them ready to settle down with only 56 surviving. Organizing early in the school year, the juniors selected Miss Rena Wright as their class sponsor. Charles Spohn was elected president, with Fred Mitchell as vice-presidentg Gale Barter, secretaryg and Don Reed, treasurer. ' Industrious describes the juniors. In November they sponsored a motion picture, Gentleman Jim, at the Times Theatre. The following month found them pinching sugar for a bake sale, and on April 27, they presented a play, June Mad, which was greatly enjoyed by everyone. They climaxed the year with a reception in honor of the seniors held at Colonial Hotel. The juniors are active in all activities. In Hi-Y Charles Spohn was treasurer, Naomi Hight was G. A. A. treasurerg and Bill Cessna has been a yell leader for the past three years. On the basketball team, Redinger, Reed, VanLue, Kindig, Carruthers, Denton, and Nickells, gained prominence for the juniors. Among school contests: Charles Spohn brought further honors in Latin and band, Billie Adamson, Mary K. Moore, Phyllis Graham, Patty Steininger, Geraldine Schafer, and Bob McKelvey participated in the county commercial contest. They also found time to don their horn-rimmed spectacles and keep the honor roll well supplied. .

Tom DuBois acting as president, aided by Bill Krieghbaum, vice-prexy-Jack Killion, secre- tary-and Charlie Spohn treasurer, did a workman-like job. However, the old spirit of the club was missing. As the aggregation progressed, they fell deeper into debt, even though they sponsored a Christmas dance. An extra crop of scums were admit- ted into the club for the purpose of raising funds. The State Secretary of the Hi-Y Clubs of Indiana attended one of the bi-weekly suppers in an endeavor to inspire the lads. It had little effect. Also, Lt. Garry Daniels and Lt. Charles Coplen of the Army Air Force spoke to the club. Toward the end of the year, the suppers were discontinued because of severe rationing, but things picked up as club dues partially put the club on its feet. This club is a challenge to the classes of the future. We sincerely hope you will make an honest effort to Create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community the highest standards of Christian living. gif! Cg3eseWes . . . C L U B Under the guidance of Miss Swope the Girl Reserves have had a year crammed with activity. The traditional bi-weekly suppers were changed to harmonize with gas rationing, and in their .place a hot lunch was serv- ed for a very low and reasonable price. Some of the speakers who at- tended these were: Private Mary Bilyew of the W. A. A. C.'s, Mrs. Kaye, and Mrs. C. L. Richardson. The program committee headed by Wanda Remy arranged the Kid Party and the annual Mothers and Daughters Tea with the installation of new oflicers. At Christmas the welfare commit- tee under Lois Herendeen prepared for the distribution of food baskets. The officers for '43 were: Mary E. Moore, president, Kathryn Rog- ers, vice-president, Ellen Bunnell, secretary, and Maxine Bailey, treas- urer. gill' lQ42 . . . RECEPTIIIN The class of '42 and their sponsor, Miss Phyllis Barrett, enjoyed a journey through the year as the guests of the class of '43 and their sponsor, Miss Mary Bushong, Friday evening, May 22, 1942 at the New West Side Hotel. Twelve cleverly decorated tables representing the months of the year were arranged clockwise around the floorg the speakers' table was January. Following the dinner the welcome address, Spirit of '43, was given by the Junior President, Joe Sparks, and the response was Spirit of '42, by Senior Pres- ident, Jim Shelton. Miss Phyllis Barrett started the trip through the year with her speech Winter and then Prof. Rankin with his speech Spring Summer was ushered in by an interesting talk by Dr. Charles Richardson, president of the school board, and the trip was completed by an address, Fall, by A. V. Purdue, principal. The remainder of the journey was spent dancing on the outdoor dance pavil- ion to the music of Deb Tinkle and his orchestra. 4 njfufiozz lla. ll. S. The news of our school-dances, chapel services, assembly programs, organization capers, and last but not least all the current gossip-is re- vealed both to the students and the community through Station R. H. S., a weekly, school publication. Much of the success of this paper is due to its sponsor, Miss Lichten- walter, and Janis Reed, editor fthe first semesterj, and Doyne Hoover, acting editor fthe second semesterl. The efficient staff, of course, helped contribute those things which add spirit and pep to the articles. Other accomplishments by this staff were the ordering of jewelry and the Club Rendezvous Dance with all the girls wearing formals and the boys, overalls CDeb and Hick fashionl. Editor . .

The Rochester High School Band, composed of thirty-nine members, under the leadership of Mr. Ronald E. Melton, have successfully completed another year. The organization met fourth and activity periods, three days a week. Activities began with the marching on Navy Day, Armistice Day, and 4-H Achievement Day Parades. The band also made a fine showing at all home basketball games. Thrill of the year came when Professor William D. Revelli attended one of the rehearsals and helped the members analyze their music and playing habits. All year, foremost in the mind of each band member, was the Spring Concert which was given on May 9, at the Whitmer Gymnasium. The organization had the privilege of having Professor Harlo E. McCall as guest conductor and soloist. Officers of the band are: Charles Spohn, Presidentg Leo Feece, tPost. Grad.l, Prin- cipal Musiciang Genevieve Kestner, Librariang Virginia Dovichi, Assistant Librariang Wallace Ewer, Drum Majorg Malcolm Kestner, Quarter Master, Rosemary Huxley, Twirling Sergeant, Lois Herendeen, Uniform Custodiang Katheryn Felix, Secretary. There are thirty-seven members in the Junior Band, which consists of students from the fifth to the eighth grades. Students from the fourth to the eighth grades have formed a Tonette Band, with forty-two members belonging. Also, there are fourteen junior twirlers. The six seniors who graduated this year are: Lois Herendeen, Harriett Hogue, Deloris Helt, Malcolm Kestner, .loe Sparks, and Joe Callahan. Qjdcc 6i7!1l!2 Another one of Miss Thomson's many organizations and by far the most popu- lar, is the girls' Glee Club. The club is built around 30 girls from the sopho- more, junior, and senior classes. This group is highly selective as the members are all chosen by the instruct- or. The first requirement is that each vocalist must have had at least one year of chorus. During the year the Glee Club has provided entertainment for the students and community by: an assembly pro- gramg carrolling on Christmas Eve: singing for the Kiwanians and Woman's Clubg and baccalaureate and com- mencemcnt. ,den W. C Dl'C'!lUSfI'Cl The Rochester lligh School orchestra composed of fourteen members under the direction of Miss Edith Thomson, played for an assembly program and commencement exercises. This year the orchestra has had the largest number of underclassmen it has had for the past five years. Two seniors, both holding first chair positions, will graduate this spring. Their repertoire consists of only the highest type and better known music.

The play was under the com- petent supervision of Miss Bernice Foster, the public speaking teacher. The play centers around Pat Patton, who is bothered with girl trouble in the personage of Ruthie Goddard, who is insistent that he marry her even though she is only sixteen and he seventeen. Besides that he has a grouchy father, Cranston Patton, a mother, Kitty, who babies him, a sister, Eunice, who comes home crying that her handsome actor of a husband has left her. The handsome husband is none other than Malcolm Barnes. Pat also worries about his two brothers, Edwin and Fred, who have wife, Ilean, and girl friend, Stella, trouble, his grandmother, who is hard of hearing, and his best friend, Tommy, who turns out to be untrustworthy. It seems his only friend is his grandpa, who finally helps him solve all of his troubles, and the play ends happily as all good plays should. Penny Wood . Chuck Harris . Mrs. Wood . Elmer Tuttle .

ZEBBAS 017943 Rochester's Zebras made a deep mark as far as local basketball his- tory is concerned. This powerful cage quintet of '43 traversed a season of 18 contests, from which they garnered 16 victories. The two breaks in the otherwise perfect chain, came, first from the South Bend Central crew that topped the Lylemen in a plenty close 32-31 victory-and in the last scheduled tilt when the Peru Bengals trimmed the Manitou five, 48 to 34. Backed by this strong record, the Zebras passed on through the Sec- tional and Regional, and into the Semi-final affair before they bowed out of the race in favor of the Lebanon Tigers. These Tigers went to to prove themselves the second strongest quintet on the Indiana H. S. hardwood courts. Of the whole squad, the first six lads were representatives of the class of '43. These Zebras fought together, side by side, for five years before they reached their final position. The eighth grade found a bunch of pee-wees with plenty of fight and not too much ability, rolling up and down the basketball court. Under the skilled direction and genuine in- terest of Coach Clyde Lyle, this Rochester ball club developed into a bunch recognized and honored over the state, as, among the best in the game. Carrying most of the load, this first six consisted of Joe Stansbury and Tom DuBois, both ranking among the fastest forwards in the state. These two lean boys had plenty of power and endurance stored away that, when called upon in the tight spots, always helped to pull the Zebras through. Dick King, a six foot, four inch lad, was picked by many of the old timers as the best pivot man in the state. Dick was the powerman on the squad when it came to laying the ball through the loop. His long arms and consistant ball playing made him a necessity to the Zebras. .King also copped the free throw award for the second consecutive year as he pitched through 63.5 per cent of the shots attempted. Jack Killion and Bill Kriegh- baum covered both guard positions with seldom an error. These lads were essential in working their way to the Semi-finals as Bill was noted for his perfect passes and Jack for his extremely cool head and deliberate think- ing. Last, but far from least, Joe Callahan could fill practically any posi- tion with exceptional ability and control. Joe was the boy who filled the weak spots when the going got tough and spirited the lads into another one of their 21 victories. These six we are proud to call seniors. 6 L,.. ,-, , ,- 'l'l ST ,IM K, , 7 X ,iv f' W V! fil!QOC!1lesfe 11' .

When the going looks black, the deciding factor often comes from the student body. The cheering section was inspired by the clapping, tramping, and drumming of various yells while still others were lead with cart wheels and acrobatic motions. As the custom has been to elect two girls and two boys-the day of try-outs is one of keen and much anticipated competition.

MUTTERINGS FBOM MARS Vol. cc.-No. ooo New York-May 26, C1963 R No iserviae New York, N. Y.-May 26th, 1963 Notes of a New Yorker: Just twenty years ago today your reporter graduated from Rochester High School! Many of my classmates are famous noses in the news today, so as a tribute to that bril- liant graduating class, I, Robert Bennett, took the Bee Line over our United States and visited all forty-nine gradu- ates of the class of '43. Elwyn Becker and Bob Wagnor are here in our own little city of New York. They are bond salesmen on Wall Street. Remember when they sold us Victory Bonds in Fultzie's room? Mrs. Hadden Stewart fShe was that glamorous Sub-Deb, Jean McDougle.J and husband are also living here in Man- hattan. They have a ten-room pent- house which the Stewarts designed to- gether. He is the famous architect that started the building of attics to keep baby brothers who had the whooping cough enclosed in. In Washington, D. C. my Bee Line took me to the White House and I came up- on the five old men of our government ffor once on the benchl. I knew them as the Zebras: Joe Stansbury, Tom Du- Bois, Dick King, Bill Krieghbaum, and Joe Callahan. You know them as our Supreme Court. The absent Zebra was our U. S. President, Jackson Killion, who was also our Senior Class Pres. When I visited him in the White House presidential quarters, I learned that first lady, Maxine Bailey Killion, was busy dining in Delaware or launching in Louisiana, as all first ladies are. Jack told me that Joe Sparks and his wife were also in Washington so natur- ally I visited them. As I approached the door I saw Lois Herendeen, class valedictorian, Stephens College valedictorian, and one of Amer- ica's smartest matrons, using her elab- orate set of grey matter to teach Joe Sparks Jr. the A. B. C.'s and intrica- cies of shoe tying. Joe Sr. is one of the inventor's of the Mothballs for Missouri Mules which are so popular. My Bee Line was heading westward now and I decided to stop at Rochester and see the old familiar sights-Dave's -The Coffee Shop-The New York-and most of all, Rochester High School. With a tear in my eye I walked down Main Street, turned West on 7th and went in- to the school. There on the same rustic old swivel-chair sat poor old Mr. Pur- due assigning Dick Sanders Jr. an 8th period for cussing in the halls. Just like his dad! A. V. and I discussed this and that. He told me Doyne Hoover was in Paris designing clothes and writing Fashion Flashes for Vogue Magazine. He said that Wanda Remy was singing in the Metropolitan Opera Company of Lon- don, and that Ellen Bunnell had married Bob Burns and they were living in Ber- lin-where Bob is warden of the insane asylum Hitler is in. He said that after the Great War, which ended with our victory over Hit- ler, Mussolini, and Hirohito in gin rummy at Podunk, Africa, the two WAACs from our class, June Mathias and Evelyn Enyart, grabbed up two men quicker than you could say, Did Flynn sin, and retired to the solitude of rural homemaking. Our class's two WAVES, Carolyn Bowers and Marjorie Hoffman, went to Hollywood and became known as the Ugh girls. QA mess between Brenda and Cobina, Gargantua, and Veronica Lake.J fEspecially the form- er three., After Mr. Purdue and I had said our farewells and I was on my way once more, my thoughts turned to Don Pot- ter and some of the other kids that lived in Chicago, so I headed my Bee Line to the North and I was Chicago bound! Don was in his restaurant on Illinois Plaza when I found him. His culinery arts were the talk of the Mid-West! He cooked anything from mock turtle soup to hash . . . and in a manner all his own! We talked of the old times and decided to go to the zoo to see if we might see another classmate or two. Brookfield Zoo! What a place! I saw many animals that reminded me of our class, but the only REAL member there was Carl Hedges, the zoo keeper. He said that if we went downtown to Janis Reed 8: Company fFormerly Marshall Fields dz Co.l we could see the new ex- ecutive of Chicago's largest department store. I could hardly wait! We finally got in through a maze of secretaries and doors to find Janis at a great big desk with two telephones in one hand, a pencil in the other, and using her vocal chords to shout orders to her staff! When she saw us she threw the phones in the air in her anxiety to greet the fellas from home. Don, Janis, and I dined at an ultra smart Supper Club on State Street, and as we were leaving we spied a theatre marquee ablaze with Harriett Hogue and Jackie Cooper in 'Cuddle Up Close To Me, Sadie'! Since there was a trav- elogue, Mickey Mouse, free dishes, Bank Nite, and three acts of vaudeville, we de- cided to pay the 20c to go in and see our old pal, Hattie. MUTTEBINGS Faoin MARS vol. CC.-No. ooo I I I Newfrqfk-lMay 2621963 g g I No service Imagine our supreme surprise to dis- cover that June Barts and her guitar were one of the headliners on the vaude- ville acts! She has had a hard life. Back in 1949 she divorced Big Bob Brown with the charge that he ate her out of house and home! After we had left the theatre, I rush- ed to meet my Bee Line and was heading into the Sunny South for a touch of Texas! Harriett Carr and Mary E. Moore were operating a dude ranch and I knew that the rest, exercise, and peace- fulness of the desert climate would do me good. From Houston I went by buck-board to the Ranchero Wells-Belly, about ten miles south of nowhere. Mary and Harriett met me at the ranch house door and as a special treat, they told me that Doctor William Tippy, the mineral oil magnet was also seek- ing rest on their ranch. Bill and I rode horseback thru the mountains all the rest of the day and he promised me that on the morrow we would go up to the peak of Pike's Peak and visit the mean old hermit that re- sided there. As we went up the mountain I was filled with fear, alarm, and awe as to what the hermit would be like. When I saw him standing at the door of his cave, emotions changed to hilarity and dis- gust. Hermit, phooey! Behind that beard and bear-skin was only Maurice Sadowsky. We went back to the ranch and I had to rush to catch my Bee Line-we were Hollywood bound. When the Bee Line stopped at a Drive- In for lunch the waitress with the shape- ly legs and a tray of hot-dogs, apples, and vitamin pills was none other than the chief candy girl of '43, Mary Lou Newcomb! , After the tidy lunch at Newcomb's New Beanery for Limas the Bee Line jumped to California and Hollywood! I first went to Los Angeles for a visit with Malcolm and Susan fElkinsJ Kest- ner. He was the 'manager of a fruit stand and she, a weather-woman! When- ever she scowled it was going to be a rainy, foggy, and dark day! Now we know why California has such terrible weather! M-G-M Studios were my next stop! The gate-keepers, Robert Glassley and Lawrence Hays, let me in after 15 min- utes of arguing and displaying of old class pins! Those absent-minded guys had forgotten that I graduated in '43 too . . .It says here. As I entered a sound-stage I heard a giggle! Impossible! It couldn't be! On the dressing room door was written, Deloris Temple. To me that giggle could only mean Deloris Helt! Yes, there she was in a pink ruffled dress try- ing to act like a child of seven! Tsk! Her hair-dresser, Jeanette Eshelman, was fixing her hair in tiny golden curls! How disgustingly sweet! On the next set were those famous screen-lovers, Marjorie Rynearson and William X. Myers, doing a remake of a movie of our day, Tobacco Road. The director was Max Teeter, now bald, plump, and very grouchy. Evelyn Van Duyne was the song writer for the show. As I went into Hollywood Hotel for lunch I noticed the name, Russell Thomp- son, above the manager's door. I went inside and Russ showed me his office, the dance Hoor, and cocktail lounge. Finally he ushered me to a ringside table and just as I was finishing a splen- did dinner, the floor show featuring the Foxy Fox Feminines started! The singer with the group was Caro- lyn Coplen from our own class. She sang Blues in the Night and her piano accompanist was none other than Ginny Virginia Denton who was the toast of Hollywood with her magic piano fingers. After a swell evening I knew that my office was awaiting me. I'd been gone over a week! The next A. M. I phoned my private secretary, Kathryn Rogers, in New York to inform her that I was homeward bound. The Bee Line left and as I carefully thought over our class, I feared that someone was omitted from my visit. Who could it be? The Line stopped at Grand Central station and as I left the train I was amazed to hear someone shout, Beezer! Beezer Bennett! I was even more amazed to see Walter Weber and Alice Zimmerman running toward me. I soon found out that she was an author and he an adventurer. As he performed the stories-Swimming the Atlantic-Rocket Ship Testing-Jumping from the Empire State Building-she wrote them up. At the present he was employed at the merciless blood-chilling task of tracking down-la Gremlin! We said good-bye. I came to my apart- ment, and as I took the elevator up an awful thing happened! The elevator cord severed, I fell down, down, down --70 floors to the basement below! Imagine my amazement to pick myself up from beside my bed, dust myself dff, and discover it was all a dream! Godd- nite and 99! Beezer. PHOTOGRAPHY-LOCKRIDGE STUDIO ENGRAVING-INDIANAPOLIS ENGRAVING COMPANY PRINTING-BARNHART-VAN TRUMP CO. Un! 'airga-uint1Mfsrs2I.:L,?.2.
