H. S. for the past year. If, when you look into this 1924 Mirage, the promise of the future greets you in the achieve- ments of the past, our aim has been accomplished. Whatever success we have attained is in a large degree due to the untiring efforts of our faculty adviser, Mr. Leonard S. Duncan and to the loyal support given by our advertisers. We Wish to thank these and any others who have in any Way assisted in the publication of this book.

University of Pittsburgh University of Chicago Columbia University ' During the six years that Mr. Grimm has been our Superintendent, the Ro- chester schools have made much pro- gress. In the High School, our attendance has increased one hundred per centg several new departments have been added to our curriculumg teachers in physical education, oral expression, and art have joined our staff. The athletic teams, under his direc- tion, have made enviable records. In ad- dition to this, the scholastic standards have been elevated. Mr. Grimm has such a pleasing per- sonality, and is such a good sport, that every student considers him to be a personal friend. VVe hope he will remain with us for many years.

Nickname- Billy Just to be naughty Billy's popularity was plainly shown in our Junior year when he was elected president of our class. Since then he has lead us through many successful ventures which have made a name, for the class, that will go down in his- tory. He has been a hard worker, and in a large measure the success of the class has been due to him. He also found time to go out for football and won his letter during his Senior year. His academic standard is one of which no one would have cause for shame. His pleasing personality, coupled with his great capacity for work, will make him a leader in the world, as he has been in school. The best of luck, Billy. R H S S'i.z'tccn, 1024 THE MIRAGE 1924 CHARLES WHITE SNYDER Classical Course Literary Team, '24g Dramatic Clubg De- bating Clubg Mirage Staff. Nickname- Chuck He was the mildest maiznered man Every class has its orator and this is ours! We call him ours for we are really proud to have such a bright young fellow in our midst. He is a brilliant conversationalist with an er- ratic wit that displays itself when you're least expecting it. There are so many things to say about Chuck, we really don't know where to begin. Sufiice to say, he's a friend worth having. Girls, this is leap year and Chuck hasn't a girl! BERTHA MABEL MENSCH Commercial Course Leap Year Club. Nickname- Bird Youth holds no society with grief Ah! here is one peppy, happy, genial girl flowing over and sparkling with mirth, she can even give repartee to the wise sayings of our estimable professor, Mr. Litzenberg, with Whom she is a great favorite. When Bertie starts giggling, everybody forgets his troubles and giggles with her. It just can't be helped. She surely will make someone a nice Stenog. when she goes out of R. H. S., with diploma in hand. DONALD NIEDERGALL Scientific Course Senior Football Team: Dramatic Club, '24g Choral Club, '24. N ickname- Don What sweet delight a quiet life affords! Don is one of the most studious boys in the class. Around the school he seems to be very quiet but we dare say he is concealing something from us. Don's singing is far superior to that of Caruso. We wonder why? He has had some experience with the birch and rule. Poor kids! We feel sure Donald will succeed wherever he goes. R H S Severiteen 1024 THE MIRAGE 1024 MADALYN ISABELLE DAVIS Commercial Course Nickname- Madge History Club: Leap Year Club. She finds the joys of heaven here on earth Madge proves the old saying Laugh and grow fat, yet she is not what we might term our hefty member. Rain or storm, snow or sleet, always she trudges bravely up the hill towards our dear Alma Mater, that wonderful seat of learning where we, from little boys and girls, have grown up into strong minded men and women. Madge's prophecies as to her own future are sort of vague when uttered from her own lips, but nevertheless tea-towels and rolling pins might be handy to have. So take our advice, don't get left, always be right. JOSEPH HEIDEGER Commercial Course Orchestra, '21,,'22, '23, '24: Chorus, '23, '24: Mirage Staff: R. O. B. C'lub: Dra- matic Club, '23, '2-1: 'Senior Football Team: Associate Editor, Fly Paper. Nickname- Snooky Watch this bird Snooky belongs to the Bridgewater gang which forms a small percentage of our stu- dent body. Besides being an A-I student, he has raised his melodious voice in the chorus which represents R.H.S. in the Geneva Con- tests, and has been a great factor in the suc- cess of the Class of '24, It is certain he will always rank as one of the bright lights of Bridgewater, as he has been of Rochester High School. ANNA FRANCES MORTIMER Commercial Course History Club: Bachelor Girls' Club. Nickname- Ann Give thy thoughts 'ho tongue Ann is another of our quiet unassuming girls. We think she would make a good teacher, for she looks as though she would ex- press her wrath mildly, and would have a good amount of patience. It is a true but sad fact that we never become acquainted with the people who may make a good friend until it is too late. A dignified expression, a lady-like walk, and a good nature ought to insure a good position for Anna in the future. R H S Eighteen 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 ISABEL DORIS WATTERSON Classical Course N ickname- Babe Quiet, sweet, and loving Isabel has not always been a member of the brilliant class of '24, having come to us from Beaver to finish her course of learning with a flourish by receiving a diploma from R.H.S. Despite her tardy membership, we would now be lost without her, for she has Won us all. Little of Isabelfs personal life is known in Rochester, but have we not seen her at the movies with an admirer from the weaker sex. Perhaps her brown eyes will widen at this bold remark, yet truth will out and secrets cannot be kept in this school, try as one may. Isabel is an extremely good student and she has our best wishes for a successful career. ROBERT A. ATKINSON Classical Course Choral Club, '243 Dramatic Club, '233 D. D. D. Clubg Mirage Staff. Nickname- Bob No eats, no live. Bob is another of those preacher's sons that helps make the rule true, All preacher's sons are terrors. Many of the good old proverbs of our youthful days may be made applicable to this young man, for instance, Eat and wax thin, Laughi, and all that other bunk. But one thing is sure-Where there are eats, there you'll find Bob. That's all right, old dear, the rest of us like it as well as you and do let us hear of greater accom- plishments by you, both as scholar and athlete, in your future years. VIRGINIA BERNICE FRANK Commercial Course Dramatic Club: Debating Clubg Chorus, '23-'24g Mirage Staff: Leap Year Club. Nickname- Jinnie She moves like a goddess, She looks like a queen. Who could fall off a train and still maintain a quiet, dignified bearing? Virginia. She is dedicated to all loveliness of speech and of action, yet she has a practical side as well. There is a far-a-way expression in her eyes and you imagine she is wading up some rosy cloud. We Wonder-?? Can she sing? You bet your boots. Virginia sings like a bird and is Miss Coe's secretary and right-hand man. We also think she could be a classic Greek dancer. By means of one of her many talents, who can tell what will happen? R H S Nineteen 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 MARIAN ELIZABETH MALONE General Course Debating Clubg History Club: Mirage Staff: Leap Year Club, Vice President. Nickname- Sheba Sunny hair and sunny face Of sadness you'll find no trace. Marian is a pride to the commercial teach- ers. You should watch her fingers fly over the noisy keys -of the typewriters! But studies do not hinder Marian from being popu- lar. There's a certain little CD senior boy who knows Sheba's charms. None of the young men can resist the temptation to talk to her, and bask in her smiles. She is full of fun and gayety,'and laughs everyone else in- to smiles. A pleasant smile and unfailing good nature made her a good person to keep company with, and as she is also a conscienti- ous worker, she will reach the highest goal. PAUL KOEHLER General Coarse Mirage Staff: Senior Football Team. Nickname- Emma The smallest hair shows a shadow. Paul undoubtedly gets his nickname from his associations with the weaker sex. This hand- some young man has a way with the girls that seems well nigh irresistible. Studies seem to be the least of his worries, but the way he has come through the first three years of his high school course leaves little doubt that he will be very decidedly among those present when the class of '24 bids farewell to R.H.S. It is our belief that he will become a salesman of some sort as his line is very good and will help him much in his later activities. HILDA E. RUMBLE General Course Dramatic Club, '23, '241 D. K. D. C'lub: H. T. XV. Club. Nickname- Pedie Dink Oh, why Should life all labor be? Here's one small girl that it is impossible to keep track of. She is a frequent visitor of the Bentel Grocery fone block northj , keep- ing the rest of us from starving during school hours. In spite of outside interests Pedie Dink has taken an interest UD in her work and has always been able to C her way through. She has a smile on her countenance and a sparkling twinkle in her eye, and despite the lack of a dimple in her chin we know there is lots of pep within. Do we like Pedie? Illl say we do! H S Twenty 19241 THE MIRAGE 1924 ELIZABETH D. CALHOON General Course Basketball, '23, '24-Capt. '24: S0i'l'Utll'Y of Clussg Chorus, '34g IJ. K. ll, Club: Mirage Staff. Nickname- Whitey Snappy and peppy Happy go lucky. A swift round object comes whirling through spaceg a girl on winged feet catches it in mid- air, and lightly tosses it through the hoop. Three cheers!! Hurrah! Whitey has made another basket! Truly she has the art of forwarding reduced to a science. We, more clumsy mortals lumbering about the gym in frantic attempts to guard her, feel decidely useless. Elizabeth is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Peppy and vivacious, one is always sure of a good time- in her presence. Others, including members of our class and UD have realized this. Here's hop- ing her cup of success will overflow at Alle- gheny. LEWIS HERDT Commercial Course Senior Football Teamgv Dramatic Club: Choral Club: Mirage Staff. N ickname- Barney Lewis fell down and broke his crown. ' Comical? Nothing else but! He could make you laugh over nothing. The person who ap- pointed him as joke editor for the Mirage surely knew his stuff tif we must use com- mon slang.J Lewie is a great favorite among the girls on account of his ever ready wit and humor. We predict that in years to come our Seniors will be patronizing his shoe shop, for he is now a junior member of the Hartley and Hood Co., and has the honor of washing the windows of the store. Stick to it, Lewie, we know you will succeed. HENRIETTA S. SCHLEIGER Commercial Course Leap Year Club: Latin Clubg Dramatic Club: Mirage Staff. Nickname- Henri Henri has a lot of spirit but she,s not a spiritualistf' In the year of our Lord, 19-, Henri Schleiger was destined to become a bright light of our class. She's snappy, happy, and friendly. The more you know of Henrietta the more you are bound to like her. Don't fool yourself either, our Henri has a man! If you don't believe our story, ask any worthy member of the L. Y. C., as they've often seen his chapeau hanging on the hat-rack at their parties. Mais c'est assez! We must not tell everything we fdon'tJ know. R H S Twenty-one 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 JOHN SCHAUBERGER Scientific Course Football, '22, '23g D, D. D, Clubg Mirage Staff. Nickname- Schally Oh! you kid. John is another of the many football stars turned out at Rochester by Pop Grimm and his aides, having made his letter two years out of the three he has been out for practice. His grades, too, have always been above the danger mark, so that if he goes on to Thiel, as is his intention, he will not be held back by his scholastic standing, but can prepare the way for the success wished him by all his many friends. CHRISTINE JANE MILLER General Course Latin Club. Nickname- Christy She hath oi neighborly charity in her. We haven't learned much about Christine during her few years here. She seems to us a quiet, dignified young lady, who pays no at- tention to what others think. Her quietness and solitude are far beyond the recall of scrutinizing eyes. Christine has no other in- terest out side of a school. We ought to say had for she lately declared it was all off for all times. But one of these days she'll forget to be solemn and will meet some one who will make her happy. JOSEPH WILLIAM TUMMON Scientific Course Gym Team3 Idiotic Fraternity. Nickname-- Joe I love the ladies. Whom have we here? The girls can answer that. J oe's blest above others with infectious good humor and a playful spirit. He is a ring leader in anything that is fung a genial, smiling, joking, fellow who loves to tease the girls, but doesn't allow them to bother him. He is not one to worry much, but accepts things as they come. He is generous, has a kind heart, and a considerate manner, which make him liked by everyone. How about it girls? R H S Twenty-two 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 GEORGE SAMUEL BOWMAN, Jr. Scientific Course Gym Team: Lady Dillers Club: Idiotic Fraternity: Senior Football Teamg D, D. D. Clubg 8 Ball Club. Nickname- Bolders A fair exterior is a silent recommendation. One can tell by his name that he is an illus- trious gentlemanf??J. His good looks have even been noticed by members of the faculty. Hear him rave-then you'll think that f'they're all out of step but George. Compared With Pasteur and Burbanks, Bolders is a rose between two thorns. We hope he will find a place in the cold, cruel world as a printer's devil. FRANCES F. REMALY General Course Dramatic Club: D. K. D. Club, Nickname- Freng'y You may as well forbid the mountain pines To way their high tops and make no noise. Frengy has all the attributes of a good fellow when awake and is perfectly harmless when asleep. As Frengy she is known, for We could never become reconciled to calling her Frances. That sounds too stately and severe for one so ready to enjoy herself. She is one of the members of set No. 1 of Siamese Twins, for she was never known to be absent for more than ten minutes from Petie Dink Rumble. We hear that she turns a deaf ear to her admirers. How come? IRVIN HETZLER Scientific Course Football, '22, '23g Mirage Staff: D. D. D. Club: Sr. Basketball. Nickname- Adam To one thing constant ever. Adam is a carefree young man who seems to believe that work was not made for youths. However, by a little application to studies in the night time he succeeds in escaping with a mark which will pass muster under the criti- cal eyes of his father. His main defect is bashfulness, but in spite of this he is well liked by the girls, not to mention the boys. He also made his presence felt on the football field. If he succeeds as well in later years asl he has during his life in R. H. S., the class of '24 will have just cause to be proud of him, R H S Twenty-three O 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 FORREST DOUDS General Course Football, '20, '21, '22, '233 Captain, Foot- ball, '!3: Basketball, '22, '23, '24: Chorus. '22, Gym 'l'ezLm. Nickname- Jap Best athlete 'Rochy' ever had. The lad of fame and great renown, His name is known in every town. Jap's fame as a football player has spread throughout the state and even further. Among the fellows he is known as one of the great- est football players who ever played for the Blue and White, among his friends he is known as a good sport and leader. In spite of his athletic activities, Jap is also a first c'ass student and the school can well be proud of his record both academically and athletical- ly. HELEN MAE PAWKA General Course Dramatic Club: Leap Year Club. Nickname- Buttons Happy I am, from care I am free, Why aren't all contented like me? Did you see Buttons as Mandy in Come Out of the Kitchen? If so, you know she is an actress of some quality. Say, Helen, who is this Pete? He visits Pawka's quite often and we are interested. Helen has won our liking and admiration. No matter how down- hearted or aggrieved her companions become, she never becomes wrathy or up set. As a parting word we should like to remind But- tons that in case she finds anything objec- tionable in this account of her virtues and vices, even write-ups are purely mental! HURLBERT RETZER Scientific Course idiotic Fraternity: Mirage Staff. Nickname- Herb A moan, a sigh, a sob, a storm, a strife. This is a dreamer. Just look at his beauti- ful, dreamy, dewy, darling eyes. It has been a great puzzle to the Seniors just whom he dreams about but we'll always be in the dark concerning f??J, as he is one of those fellows who won't tell. Come now, Herb, 'fess up, just how many of the valley towns do you visit? Ask Bowlders, for he is one of his best playmates, especially in the lab, may- be he could tell us something about this per- son of whom he dreams. But the world loves a dreamer, so why worry about it? R H S Twenty-four 1024 THE MIRAGE 1024 EDYTHE EVELYN BETZ General Course lvIi1'nge Stuff: Chorus, '24g Dramatic Club, '23!: Debating Club Secretary: Leap Year Club. Nickname- Betty My meaning in saying he is a good man ls to have you understand he is sufficient. Stop! Look! Listen! What have we here? Why it is Edythe, to be sure. Her hearty, genial, good-naturedness is appreciated by all who know her. And any one who marks the pomp and glory of her social success can but stop and wonder. Have you noticed Edythe's . . . . . . . . ? Goodness! But we must be discreet and not give up her secret or trouble may await us. She is a pleasant girl who never tires of giving a helping hand-or a stray powder puff. We thank you, Betty and we know you'll have good luck. ERNEST ALLISON General Course History Contestant, '24g Mirage Staffg Choral C'lub. Nickname- Ernie What shall I do to be forever known? Ernie has always been something of a Shiek and wherever there are girls, there you'll find Ernie. But in spite of this he al- ways manages to see that his marks are at or above par. He is a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow who believes in doing all his study- ing just before exams. LOUISE DOTY General Course Class Treasurer: History Contestant, 22: Dramatic Club, '23-'24g Debate Team, '24g Mirage Staffg D. K. D. Club, Nickname- Duty Glad to 'receive some instruction from this fellofw-partner. Here we have another Teacher's Pride. You never see Louise without her lessons, and say! Did you ever hear her debate? Stay clear. You'd never win! Doty is a good fellow amongst us, and never shirks her duties. She is just kind o' placid like, and always un- ruffled. Her highest aim is to be a missionary. All we have to say is: Those heathens don't know what they're getting and won't be able to appreciate her. Louise's tact and spontaneity have won her a permanent place in our hearts. R H S Twen ty-five 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 KATHERINE LOUISE JOYCE Classical Course Nickname- Irish There is a time for everything. One of our quiet and retiring members. When Kathryn makes an announcement she does it in a whimsical and shy little way. She has the manner of a child that has been caught with its fingers in the jam pot. Now we stop to think of it, Hdonft worry seems to be Irish's policy in life. When the rest of us are gray with the multitudinous cares of the world, she will doubtless be as fresh and graceful as ever if she continues with her present philosophy. With all her careful attitude and happy smile, Kathryn has a courageous heart which has won everybody's admiration and respect. ' HAROLD DIMERLING General Course Academic Contest-Pl. Geometryg Senior Football Team. Nothing to blush for, nothing to hide. As a student Dimerling has been one of the bright lights in the class, for when the teach- ers call upon him for a recitation they are sure that it will not be far from perfect. In spite of his good work in class, he can always find time for a joke, practical or otherwise. From our association with him during his sojourn at R. H. S., we are sure that he will make a success of anything to which he puts his hand. MARY DOROTHY BREHM General Course Nickname- Chuckie Work first and then rest. Dorothy takes her studies seriously and pushes ahead with a firm tread. From her, we have learned that perseverance is an art that should be mastered, for in the past we have seen her time and again reach the goal. We only wish we could be a radio and broadcast Chuckie's many merits and virtues. Throughout our high school days she has been a good friend of ours, and we hope we have been good friends to her.

Nickname- Dot Y 'May you live as long as ou like A i ll , , And have all you like as long as you live. ' Dot is there when it comes to tickling the ivories and you should hear her sing. She does not believe in overtaxing the mental capacities of the brain and therefore takes life very easy, as a sensible Senior should. Dor0thy's ideal of a man is one with red hair. When she isn't in school we can look for her in-'s Ford. Her ambition is to be a nurse and we know she will be a huge success. Well Dot, he-re's to your health, wealth, love and happiness, and may no ill dreams destroy your rest. 4 WALTER HUNT General Course IJ. D, D. Club: Senior Football Team. Nickname- Icky I am about to weep. Icky is a man of very few words, but this seems to be a virtue rather than a fault. The faculty has had no cause for fault-finding in his work or behavior in class. On the con- trary, he might well serve as an example for some of our less dignified students. The fact that he comes from Baden, that little hamlet which lies somewhere up the river, has not seemed to hold him back in the least but he has forged ahead steadily. For his ability and earnestness of purpose he will undoubted- ly be a student among men as he has been among his class mates. LONA MARGARET KIDD Commercial Course Leap Year Club. Nickname- Tony And all that sort of thing. And yet another Bridgewaterian from the city of Walter's Home Made Bread, guaran- teed to maintain life. Lona's eternal sweet- ness and all around efiiciency are the out- standing characteristics which will be remem- bered longest by her class mates and chim? Truly here is a girl after our own hearts for she has so many different sides to her ' character that four years of knowing her have 4 left many things still to learn.

It has been said that the thum- thum of the above said instrument may be heard in a certain orchestra. She' is proud to hail from one of the largest cities in the world-Conway! No? But why stop and dispute the fact when it is the girl, not the town, which interests us?

Editor-in-chief-F ly Paper. Why should the devil have all the good time? Ernie has made a host of friends while at R. H. S. by his sense of humor, and by his loving disposition. He always enjoys a good joke, even if it is upon himself. If, by any chance, Ernie should go into the movies, Charlie Chaplin had best look to his laurels. THELMA HELEN IRVIN Commercial Course Leap Year Club: Chorus, '24 Nickname- Thelm As merry as the day is long. This highly interesting girl comes from Bridgewater. Another song bird! In chorus practice we hear Thelm's voice thrilling like a lark above our own. We all have the strongest desire to keep silent and let her continue alone. We always like to get a seat in front of her at practice so we can keep one of our ears her way. But singing is not the only parlor trick Thelma has. She is a perfectly marvelous player-on the Vic. If you don't believe 'us go to the little music shop where she spends most of her time. And say! Thelma seems to have domestic am- bitions! R H S Twenty-eight 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 IDA ISABEL RAMSEY Classical Course N ickname- Izzy All work and no play makes Izzy a dull girl. Dear reader, here's one young lady you should all become acquainted with! We never knew just what a pleasing personality Izzy had until a year or so ago. Clever? Why clever is no name for her! She can think of the funniest things to say in the shortest time, and ought to be a main speaker on a debating team. Her favorite l??J study is Trig. She is extremely frank, but it is an engaging frankness, for her naive remarks arise from real sincerity. HERMAN EISENBERG General Course Academic Contest CHistoryJ '231 Mirage Staffg Orchestra: Senior Football Team. Nickname- I-Ioiman He shakes a mean bow. Herman came to Rochester from Scott High, Toledo, in his junior year, and at once began to make the fur ily. Herman's big' fail- ing UJ is an unusual capacity for study. Contrary to custom, however, he is not blinded by his own brilliancy, but is always willing to help any laggard on the path to graduation. He bore the banner of history into the annual academic battle at Geneva, in 1923, and to think that such a person's great ambition is to become a cartoonist! But we're willing to accept any bets that he will succeed in the profession he selects. BEATRICE ELIZABETH SCHWARTZ Commercial Course Latin Club. Nickname- Bea It must appear in other ways than words. Silence is golden and all the rest of those nice little proverbs apply to Beatrice. Quiet people are always valuable at times, their in- fluence being felt. This member of our class is certainly influential, quietly speaking, and we find her ever ready,to do a good turn. But then you know Still water runs deep and we feel sure that if we were able to get under Beatrice's quiet, lady-like reserve we would find a charming, jolly girl, for the twinkle in her gray eyes belies the sweet dignity that she tries to preserve. R H S Twenty-nine 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 WILHELMINA SIMPSON General Course Basketball, '23g Manager, '24, Leap Year Club, Mirage Staff, Chorus, '24. Nickname- Willie A safe companion and an easy friend. Skeeter Hill has yielded unto us one noted chiefly as being shortest for her height. Willie is an all around good sport, and never shirks her duty. Talk about filling a hard place on a team, this is exactly what Willie did on the Basketball team, making of it a great success. She is just a natural happy- go-lucky girl. And in one thing she is not lacking true friends and many of them, for we all like and admire her. We'll expect real things of you, Willie. HAROLD ROSS General Course Football, '23g Dramatic Club, 23. Nickname- Rossy With loads of learned lumber in his head. Harold hails from Baden and has great difficulty in catching the 8:25 car, five morn- ings each weekg to tell the truth, he doesn't catch it at all. Rossy is the Ladies Man. Very popular looking, isn't he? He knows girls from far and near and oft, times we see him on a cold winter night near the fireside of some dame. He has taken an active part in the football games during the season of 1923. He surely is a fine fellow and a real sport. 1 DEBORAH BURNS General Course Mirage Staffg Dramatic Club, '24, D. K, D.

She enjoys everything and likes every one-even the Freshman and the class president. How about it Deb'? Deborah's happiest moment is at 3:10 p. m. Friday afternoon and she has two whole days vacation until Monday comes again. But she is a fine student, and as for ambition-why she leads us all in that form of exercise, for what she doesn't attempt isn't worth much. We are sure Deb will make a place for herself in the world as she has in Rochester High School. H S Thirty 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 HOWARD H. HOWE E General Coarse Senior Football Team: S Ball Club. V Nickname- Cedric N Lingering and wandering, loath to lie. Like many other great men, Cedric is a man of few words. He is a great trial to the faculty as they have a hard time getting him to study. But by a great amount of cramming just before exams, he succeeds in sticking with his class and will, no doubt, receive his sheep-skin along with the rest of the gang that entered away back in 1920. His chief interest at present seems to lie in the thriv- ing town of Baden, where Cedric may be found several nights a week. Will someone please tell us why?

Anyhow, we'd like to find out the re- cipe for popularity. Can you tell us? She's modest, but not shy. The teachers seem to like her. What more could one wish for?

There's not much we can say about Frances, only we all know what sort of a career Fran will follow after she leaves good old R. H. S. A great many of us are secretly aspiring to an engagment ring with three diamonds like Frances' but ummmm-! !-even leap year has it's advantages. The magic crystals foretell delightful things for her. She is adept in that certain branch of conversation known as small talk, and it is extremely delightful to be with her. CHESTER ANDERSON General Course Senior Football Team: H. T. VV. Clubg 5 WV'S Club, Nickname- Red He's a long, long way from home. Red hails from the metropolis of Bridge- waterg perhaps this explains his aversion to work. For this young man firmly believes that too much work is injurious to the health. His affections at present seem to be centered upon Seniors. Red is popular with his class mates and they will miss him greatly when he leavefs them to take up more serious problems of li e. EDITH VERLEE WALLACE Classical Course- D. K. D. Club: Mirage Staff: Chorus, .94 l Nickname- Edie My king, thou are to me Dearer than my Litanyf' Edith's love of small details show in her dress, for she is immaculately groomed from the waves to her shoes. She is the sort of person who never looks ruffled or ill at ease. In her presence, one always feels conscious of ink smudge on one's hands or the stray locks of hair that will straggle down in back. Among other things, Edith never hesitateipto offer utter devotion to that small god, Stu y, and when the wicked little slips come home her's carries a joyful tale. We might add that she has an interest in our class too. R H S Thirty-two 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 ELIZABETH GERTRUDE CAMPBELL General Course D. K. D.

She is a girl who meets her chums with a pleasant grin and im- presses them by her personal magnetism. Gertrude, as one of the twin guards on our basketball team, gained a reputation of her own. We prophesy for her the domesticated life of the wife of a newspaper reporter who is now an Alumnus of our Alma Mater. All we can say is won't there be some dis- appointed people? CARL HENRY EMERICK Scientific Course S Rall Club. So wise, so grave. Carl is a young man of very few words, but the ones he does utter mean something. He is a general favorite with the teachers as he never comes to class unprepared and by his behavior there, serves as an example for the pupils who are not so quiet. There is no doubt that in later life he will make his im- portance in the world felt by his actions, rather than by his tongue. MINNIE COHEN General Course History Club: Dramatic Club: Mirage Staff: Chorus, '24. Nickname- Oh Min Her music lingers with us still. Minnie has a weakness for earrings, and like Browning's Pied Piper she has long earrings, short earrings, spike earrings, red earrings, green earrings, CP. S. This was written at the first of the termj. But really, no fooling, entirely in earnest, Minnie's most marked ability lies in the way she fondles the keys of a piano. When she plays for us, it is almost impossible to keep one's feet from dancing on forever. The social whirl claims her, and she leaves us most radiantly slipped according to the latest mode. Here's wishing we could keep her forever with us to drive away our despondent moods.

WILFORD KUNSMAN Commercial Course Debating Club: Dramatic Club. Nickname- Kuntz Peace to the gentle. Good looking, huh U1 We think so! He hasn't much to say but he makes up for that in his expressive eyes. We really think it is a shame that some fair girl couldn't have had his blue eyes and golden locks -some one who really wanted them. But maybe he wants them himself. How should we know? This promising young fellow is another one of our business men, his specialty being jewelry lany- thing from safety pins to cut glass earringsj. See him for reduced rates on engagement rings, fellows! PHILA ELEANOR STEELE Commercial Coarse Leap Year Club. Nickname- Fu I love tranquil society and such society as is quiet, wise and good. Soft strains float gently upstairs from the gym, and it doesn't take us long to figure out that Mr. Gramley's favorite pianist is right on the job. My, how we can step when Fu plays for us. She is an old reliable when it comes to playing in chapel. We always want to sing UD for her. Phila seems to be a deep thinker although of a quiet nature. In case of fire, battle, murder, sudden death, or pestilence, we'd suggest you call for her. Her good nature is always bubbling out by way of a smile. Fu is a loyal member of the Class of '24.

She doesn't have much time for foolishness, but smoke this in your pipe, Kathryn is not all sedateness, for many are the mischievous times we've had her as an ally and mainstay. Her future looms large and full of promise as the gates of college open before her. WILLIAM KENNETH STIRLING Scientific Course Idiotic Fraternityg Senior Football Teamg Dramatic Club. Nickname- Bill Too good to be true. Bill comes from out in No Man's Land. He's the Stirling blond of our class. His name indicates his valuable qualities. Bill has such an innocent expression, and he gets away with murder. Anyone who saw him play on the Senior football team knows that he is at his best when embracing a pigskin. JOAN REESE General Course Leap Year Club: Mirage Staff: Chorus, '2'1. Nickname- Jo There she is, my friends, an honest girl and t'rue. Singing seems to run in the Reese family and Joan is uncommonly good. Have you ever heard her? Joan's interest is not all con- fined in the walls of R. H. S. We think she would make a model housekeeper. If Jo were to keep house, there order would reign supreme, lovely menus would be planned, while we who visit her could bask in front of a glowing fireplace, gazing at a razzing text of Home Sweet Home ?? R H S Thirty-five 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 SARAH BRINKER IRVIN General Course D. K. D.: Chorus, '24. Nickname- Sally She has common sense in a way that's un- common. We wish to introduce to R. H. S. and the world at large, a girl with a perfect profile and a really permanent wave which far sur- passes those which shriek, guaranteed for six months. The thing for which Sal has become ex- pecially noteworthy is her ability to imitate. Sarah is popular with the less deadly sex. For proof, just say, Beaver or Thiel Col- lege to her. We who are intimate with Sal appreciate her friendly, easy-going disposition. You'll always have the strong admiration and good wishes of your friends, Sarah. HARTFORD B.

Hartford pretends that he's a woman hater but we don't believe him--he looks cross- eyed at too many ladies to believe that. Hart's manly HJ tenor voice adds to his already numerous charms. Such singing as he favors us with in chapel has not been heard since Konvolinka left old R. H. S! There's not much use in our saying anything about Hart's football and basketball career, especially the latter, in which he excelled. He shot baskets right and left, from the mid- dle of the floor. We didnft have to hold our breath with anxiety for fear the ball wouldn't go through the basket, for it always did. JULIET DAY CAMERON - General Course History Club: Leap Year Club. Nickname- Shudy The very flower of Youth. Shudy is one of the very nicest girls in our class. Look at her! Can you now doubt our word? Juliet's even disposition combined with the biggest heart and most generous hand we have seen for many moons has made us wish that we could always be able to be near her and share her sympathy and kindness. An Alumnus seems to be one of the main problems in our Shudy's life. We know that we would not forget her, though miles and miles were to separate us.

Mandy holds the endurance record for keeping up a lively conversation when every- body else is pepped out. But she's always as sweet and dainty as a Hower, which possibly accounts for her numerous gentlemen friends. Amanda is sincere and friendlyg she is natural and easy-going. Although being a popular member of our class it seems that she finds time always to study. We are almost certain that Rochy High does not hold all of her interests, RICHARD BALDWIN Scientific Coarse latin Club President: Senior Football A Team, Nickname- Judge, Fast, fearless, foolish. Dick has always been a helpful friend and the teachers especially have always found him a quiet, willing worker. Dick's ambition is to go to Thiel and study law. We are cer- tain that he will be a success and he takes with him the best wishes and good will of all his classmates. EMILY ELIZABETH FRY General Coarse Mirage Staffg Latin Club: Chorus, '24. 1 Nickname- Betty If little we labor, little are our gains. Elizabeth spent the first two years of her course with us. Then for some reason, she decided to leave and go to Florida for a year. But all's well that ends well, for she has returned to graduate with us. You don't often see a report card with all A's on it, but that is a common event to Betty. She solves Trig. as if she were an oracle. Every- one in the class is a friend of Elizabeth's and we are glad to have her with us during our Commencement exercises. - R H S Thlrtyaseven 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 Q JEAN MAY GRIMMELL 5 Classical Course 5 Chorus, '2-lg History Contestant, '24g D. 5 K.

We can recall her shocked gaze when we were too liberal with the rouge pot and lipstick. We do not intend to discuss here the respective virtues and vices of charm, but we do know that Jean's is not the variety that is laid on like a thick layer of solid cream for special occasions. Smiling, happy, cheerful and help- ful as she proceeds in the cold, cruel World, we are sure there will be few rungs on her ladder of life which do not lead to success.

His favorite sport is swimming and we can see that he profits by it. Bob possesses lots of common sense and whatever enterprise he undertakes, he does thoroughly and earnestly. His keen sense of humor and cheerfulness make him beloved by all his classmates. We are sure his life will be successful and extend him all good wishes possible. MORDESSA JOHNSON Commercial Course Nickname- Mordy Oh blest with temper whose iuclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today. Mordy is first and last a real musician. She has a grave manner that fools the casual observer, but we have found her a good friend and classmate. Mordessa is light-hearted and free, but why worry when it is not necessary.

ROY HERROLD Scientific Course Football, '233 Basketball, '24, N ickname- Nick Woman's Home Companion. Nick came to R. H. S. in the fall of 1923 from the model and oily town of Freedom, heralded as a great athlete. He made a great impression upon the populace by his per- formance on the football field, and although ineligible for most of the games, he succeeded in earning' his letter. His entrance caused great excitement among the females, who im- mediately became wild about the handsome new senior. However, Nick did not select any special one on whom to bestow his affec- tions, but like Santa Claus, he loves them all. R H S Thirty-nine 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 6, 1920, the Freshman class, one hundred and twenty green, entered the portals of R. H. S. which was to be their home for the next four years. Several surprises were in store for them, among which was the kind-heartedness and generousness of the Sophomores. The Sophs handed out hair cuts absolutely free to Freshmen hoping to help defray expenses, but the Freshmen did not see it that way. Then came the Cane Rush. Though they were not victorious they held the second year students to twenty minutes of the bloodiest cane rush ever staged at Rochester and the result was a tie. Now came the second year. Having decided to become revenged they set upon the new set of Freshmen and many were seen with the new hair cut. Next came the task of humbling the Freshies. After two attempts in which the rope broke they got one strong enough but alack and alas, the Freshmen were too many and consequently pulled the Sophs over. The social side of this year was enjoyed with several dances, parties, etc. Now they are Juniors. Not having any part in'the hair cutting they started OE by electing officers and immediately after had several bake sales and a party and made a huge success of an indoor circus and last but not least gave the Seniors a party which will long be remembered for it was the best one ever held in R. H. S. Thus the third year is ended, now for Seniors. The class of '24 did not leap immediately into the limelight their last year. No, that is not their way, but about the middle of football sea- son succeeded in Winning a. fmoralj victory over the faculty in a football game. This gave them a large amount of fame. A little later the Annual Staff was picked and immediately after Christmas they all went down to Graules and were shot. That started things and the work Went swiftly on with the Annual until it went to print and all breathed a sigh of relief. The last days at R. H. S. were the happiest and the class of 1924, wish the succeeding classes all the luck and happiness in the world during the remainder of their course in Roches- ter High School.

Mr. Gramley deserves much credit for the manner in which he has developed the Physical Training Depart- ment. This year new equipment was added to that obtained last year and the work was taken up enthusiastically by the students. Exercises were first taken up and then more strenuous work was added, such as tumbling, parallel-bar exercises, and body strengthening exercises on the pommeled horse. A gym team was selected and coached by Mr. Gramley and more advanced work was taken up. They jumped into the work with lighting spirit and before the year rolled around the team was able to construct human pyramids, equivalent to college performances. Exhibitions were given, between halves at the Basketball games. And then to Wind up one of the most successful years of Physical Training in Rochester High School the gym team, under the management of Mr. Gramley, organized and participated in one of the best shows given by the Rochester High School pupils. In concluding, we heartily congratulate Mr. Gramley on the success in organizing the best course in Physical Education that R. H. S. has ever had. The class of '24 wishes him success in his work in the future. R H S Fifty-four 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 Fifty-five Y 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 Music ORCHESTRA Music Hath its Charms? This was proved this year when Mr. Barner issued the call for orchestra candidates. While the first practice did not sound like Sousa's band, it was very good, considering lack of practice together. However, after a few rehearsals, they played for Daddy Long Legs, and many said afterwards the play would not have been complete without them. The dexterity of the orchestra has been due in a large measure to the skillful directing of Mr. Barner, who has devoted every effort to the task of training and developing an orchestra which can compete with the best in Beaver Valley.

A TH LE TI CS y Q 1 5 2 JI 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 FOOTBALL TRAINING CAMP On August 18th, a happy bunch of about fifty fellows met at 'the High School to receive their final instructions concerning football camp. They had good reason to be happy as the camp was to be on Lake Erie and this was the first time that any team in the valley had ever left the county for football training. Professor Grimm, our wonderful friend and best High School coach there is, talked to us a while and told us to be at the High School at eight o'clock Monday morning. Monday was a red letter day for all of us. After Pop handed out the football suits, the luggage was taken to the Beaver station and we boarded the train for camp. It was a long ride, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Tip was in charge as Mr. Grimm was driving up with his family the following day. Finally, as we drew near West Springfield, we all got our things together and were ready to pile off as soon as the train stopped. The first person that we saw was our old friend Doc Peirsol who had selected our camp site and who was going to stay at the nearby hotel. On reaching the camp, three things followed in close succession, first, a grand rush for cotsg second, we all went in swimmingg third, the old favorite expression was uttered, When do we eat? We then went to work and fired our tents and cots for the ten day stay. We looked the place over and were all more than satisfied, considering it many times better than any camp which we had ever had before. We were called the next morning for an eight o'clock breakfast and then our football training began. That day the work was not so hard, road work taking up most of the time. The next day we were glad to see Pop come rolling up in his Hudson closely followed by a Ford which we soon found to contain the Gramley brothers and their dog, Queen. The work then began in earnest with long workouts on the road followed by the rudiments of football such as rolling on the ball, passing and kicking. This continued for several days and then Bozo was hung to a tree and we each had to take him down so that it suited Pop. R H S Fifty-seven 1024 THE MIRAGE 1024 The work was very hard and we were. all tired at night, but not too tired to have some fun. Our favorite place of diversion was the Inn. There were quite a few nice girls there, if you don't believe me, ask Tip. There was a large porch there where we danced nearly every evening. We were also favored by having a broadcasting station in the person of H. Brown Campbell, who often favored us with long and varied con- certsg generally too long. Another high light in camp was the starting of the Union which is now famous throughout the High School. The president and his assistants, however, were soon glad to become non-union. How about it, hard tent ? Throughout the duration of camp there were few injuries besides the usual bumps and scratches except one. Joe Lucas, while tackling the dummy suffered a fracture of the collar bone and this accident put the whole camp in sorrow. Our deepest sympathy was also extended to Jim Stewart because of the great tragedy which befell him. We want to wish Jim the best of luck through life and we know he will succeed wherever he is because, with his spirit and iight, he can't help it. There were very few of our friends who were able to come up to camp, but those who did were welcomed with open arms. Especially were we happy when one day a car drove up and out jumped Bill Frank whom everybody was glad to see. Mr. Duncan and Mr. Barner, who came up to help the other coaches, were also made welcome. Soon the day for retufning came along and in spite of the wonderful time we were having, we were all glad to be on our way home. Nine days had been passed in camp and we were all willing and happy to go back to Rochester. After bidding all of our friends a fond adieu we boarded the train. It seemed to move very slowly and we could hardly wait to reach Rochester and home. Thus ended football camp, but not football, as we were to have several more months of good, hard, football. However, the football camp of 1923 will be considered by all, the best which Rochester has ever boasted. R H S Fifty-eight 192.31 THE MIRAGE 1924 5 FOOTBALL LETTER MEN-1923 R H S l ift.11-nim 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 REVIEW OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON SEPTEMBER 29TH Rochester 6 ' Ambridge 6 The Blue and White gridders did not get a very good start against the Ambridge team, being held to a six to six tie. Jersey scored Rochester's touchdown on a cross buck after the ball had been worked the length of the field on line plunges and end runs. W'ith a six point lead, the Rochester team considered the game won but a couple of long forward passes netted a touchdown for the Ambridge clan and Coach Grimm's eleven had to be content with a tie after outplaying the visitors throughout the game. OCTOBER 6TH Rochester 27 Freedom 7 The Rochester Coaches evidently injected a lot of pep into our men considering the furious manner in which the yellow jackets tore into the Freedom cohorts. The Rochester ofense was simply unstoppable, with Jersey shining on end runs and Schlosser hitting the line and tearing it into shreds. The Blue and White eleven displayed some of the best football shown by any valley team during the season. Cap- tain Douds had his men primed to the minute and they could not be stopped. OCTOBER 13TH Rochester 0 Charleroi 6 Charleroi breezed into town with one of the best looking and smoothest working combinations seen in Rochester in many seasons. The Rochester gridders put up a gallant fight but the visitors appeared too strong and managed to shove over a touch- down. Captain Douds, during the latter part of the game, took a place in the back- field and gave a rare exhibition of line bucking mainly through his efforts, the R0- chester aggregation carried the ball to the fifteen yard lineg but there the Charleroi defense stiffened and the Blue and White lacked the punch to carry the ball over. OCTOBER 20TH Rochester 7 New Brighton 0 When the Blue and White eleven locks horns with their ancient rival, the Crim- son and Gold gridders from New Brighton, a close game is always anticipated, and this year's contest was no exception. The Rochester clan managed to score in the second quarter when Jersey, the fleet half-back, skirted the left end for twenty yards and a touchdown. The New Brighton team never got Within scoring distance of the Rochester goal line. OCTOBER 27TH Rochester 6 Beaver Falls 0 The Beaver Falls game is usually the high spot on the Blue and White schedule and the same was true of this contest. This ,game was the only one played away from home and the crowd that packed the Beaver Falls Athletic field was enormous. The playing of the teams was about even, although early in the first quarter, the Rochester gridders launched an attack that was almost impossible to check. After working the ball to the ten yard line, the Blue and White quarter used a little strategy and had Schlosser throw a pass to Hetzler over the goal line from a line bucking formation. For the remainder of the game, the ball zig-zagged back and forth, neither outfit being able to muster up enough offensive power to carry the oval over their opponent's goal line. NOVEMBER 3RD Rochester 19 Ellwood City 9 Ellwood City came to Rochester with a fine record, but when Coach Grimm's lads stacked up against them, the latter disregarded everything except that they were in the game to win and win they did. Jersey and Schlosser, as usual, were the most consistent ground gainers for the Blue and White, and both accounted for most of the points gained. Mitchell made a touchdown after receiving a neat forward pass on El1wood's twenty yard line. McMurdo was the shining light for Ellwood. He scored their touch-down and his line bucking and punting was exceptionally good. R H S Sixty 1024 THE MIRAGE 1024 REVIEW OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON-fContinuedJ NOVEMBER 10TH Rochester 0 Monaca 0 Elaborate preparations were made for this game by the backers of both teams and the gridders representing both schools were in the best of condition. This game attracted much interest through Western Pennsylvania and at game time, the high school field was packed to the limit and then some. Each team had excellent chances to score but each passed up the opportunity and the contest was deadlocked. Although Rochester had a decided edge in the number of first downs, ftwelve to sixj, in most respects the teams were quite evenly matched. Vetter was Monaca's best ground gainer while Blaney was their defensive star with many hard tackles to his credit. Toughey Schlosser played a fine offensive game during the first half, tearing the Monaca line apart. The real star of the game was Herrold, Rochester's Iiashy red-head. Such a brand of football as put up by this classy end has never been equalled in valley scholastic football. NOVEMBER 17TH A Rochester 26 Greensburg 6 When Coach Grimm's yellow jackets defeated Greensburg, state champions for two years, in such a convincing manner, the football fans of Rochester went wild. The visitors had one of the best forward passing attacks ever put on exhibition in Rochester but this was easily broken up by the Rochester backs when their goal line was threatened. The star of the contest was Captain Jap Douds. And what a game he did play! On one occasion, he intercepted a forward pass on his own five yard line and galloped the remaining ninety-five yards through the whole visiting team for a touchdown, carrying a would-be tackler the last nine yards on his back. NOVEMBER 24TH Rochester 39 Woodlawn 0 Woodlawn offered little resistance to Coach Grimm's Blue and White players and they ran rough-shod over the visitors, on a muddy gridiron. Schlosser and Jersey were Rochester's offensive stars while the work of DeVenny at end was also worthy of mention. After the regulars had run up a large score, their places were filled by second string men and they more than gave a good account of themselves. Kilitz, a husky fullback, was the only Woodlawn player that attracted any particular attention and that was mainly through his fine line plunging. NOVEMBER 29TH Rochester 19 Beaver 0 Coach Grimm started his second string men in their annual Turkey Day struggle with the Red and Gray eleven from the county seat. The scrubs managed to score a touchdown in the first quarter when Hetzler tallied on a crossbuck. Jersey accounted for the next marker after a steady march down the field when he skirted right end for twenty yards and a touchdown. Mitchell, the Blue and White terminal, covered a fumble for the final score of the game. ,M Rochester 2 Wg.-,, Alumnus 3 The Blue and White was forced to take a three to two beating at the hands of their Alumni but this was no disgrace considering ,the caliber of their opponents, with such men as Denton of Bucknell, Logan of Allegheny, The Ewing Brothers of Alle- gheny and Geneva, Shumaker of Pitt, etc. The Alumni secured a three point lead when Denton kicked a field goal from placement on the fifteen yard line. Captain Douds and his men came strong in the final period and rushed the ball to the one foot line only to lose it when they missed making a first down by a few inches. Om the next play, Logan touched the ball down back of his line-for a safety, giving the Blue and White team two points. Faculty 26 Seniors 0 Another football game that attracted a good deal of attention last fall was the game between the Seniors and the Faculty. Elaborate preparations were made for this game and the Blue and Gold colors of the class of '24 were very much in evidence. During the first quarter, the Seniors displayed an invincible attack and rushed the ball to the one yard line only to be held for dowfn, lacking the punch to carry the oval across the goal line. The Faculty started like a whirlwind in the second quarter and continued so during the remainder of the game. The work of Tippin, Glramley, and Litzenberg was worthy of praise and they proved that experience was too much for the Seniors.

S. six years ago, and it certainly was a lucky day for old Rochy. His football team immediately raised from an unknown team to one of the contenders for the championship of west- ern Pennsylvania. We feel that the main part of the credit is due to Pop's,' great knowl- edge of the game. He was always ready with the very best trick plays when they were needed, but he never over loaded his boys. He taught them the game in a way in which they all liked, never failing to emphasize the fact that he would rather see them lose the game than to play dirty. This coaching, and the faith the squad had in their coach, made Rochester, the small town with the big town team, and always where the Blue and White were in action there could be found a large crowdl WALDO S. TIPPIN Assistant Coach Coach Tippin was Pop Grimm's right hand man or, in other words, his chief lieutenant. Tip was extremely popular with the fellows and with the entire student body. When the spirit was low at cheer practice, it was Tip who inspired everyone to pep-up by his fiery little talk. Much credit is due him for the success of our gridders during his two years at Rochester. Coming direct from Geneva College where he won fame in all branches of sports, he made good from the beginning and has proved an able assistant to Pop Grimm. MR. J. C. CRAMLEY Assistant Coach Mr. Gramley, our new physical director appeared on the scene about two days after the opening of the football camp. He was accompanied by a four-days' growth of whiskers, a younger brother, a dog, and a Ford Sedan. It didn't take the boys long to find out that he was a real live wire, and also that he knew his Stuff. Under his careful coaching, the scrubs soon developed into a formid- able football machine which was able to push over numerous touchdowns against the Varsity. Mr. Gramley is a graduate of Springfield College, Springfield Massa- chussetts. We hope he will remain with us for several years to come. R H S Sixty-three 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 BILL FRANK Speaking of friends, the Rochester High School football squad is losing, this year, one of the best that they ever had. That is our friend and trainer and wonderful pal, Bill Frank. Bill is not only a trainer, but an interested friend, interested not only in the boys as football players, but in their studies and in all outside activities, urging them on to do their best in everything undertaken. This is Bill's fourth and last year as trainer and in his leaving we will lose a man whose value to the team is inestimable. Bill, we can't tell you how sorry we are to see you go but we can never forget you and only hope that you will not forget us. The boys of Rochester High School wish you the best of luck and give you their sincerest thanks for all you have done for them. DOC PEIRSOL Team Physician Doc was the team physician and really was almost as necessary to the team as Pop Grimm and his assistants. 'Doc and Bill Frank were responsible for the physical condition of the squad. Whenever one of the fellows got his bump it was always Doc who was right on the job to do everything possible to fix him up so he could do his bit for the Blue and White. Right here Doc, we are offering our thanks to you for your services and you cannot imagine how greatly they are appreciated by us. MR. BEAM A word of appreciation must be extended to Mr. Beam for his patience during the football season and for the interest which he has shown in all of the R. H. S. activities. He and his able assistant, Mrs. Fox, have done much to keep our school spick and span, thereby safe-guarding our health, and for this they deserve a great deal of credit. May their good work continue in the future. DR. MCCASKEY The High School as well as the football team appreciate the services of Dr. McCaskey, who took care of the players through the football sea- son, by locating injuries with the X-Ray machine. Dr. McCaskey has always been an ardent worker and booster of the Rochester football teams. X R H S Sixty-four 1924 THE MIRAGE 1024 CHARLEROI vs. ROCHESTER October 13, 1923 ALL-SCHOLASTIC TEAMS Rochester was well represented on the teams chosen from all the high schools of the county, having four men on the first eleven and a like number on the second team.

This can readily be seen by the way in which they held the leading teams of the section to close scores. In the first game of the season our boys were defeated in a close game by the speedy Ambridge five. Although the season started with an unlucky beginning, yet the team continually showed an unusual amount of pep. They held practically all their opponents to the scores during the first half, weakened in the final part of the game and emerged the loser. Coach Gramley worked hard with the team and they responded well to his coaching. Injuries and illness handicapped them and they were scarcely able to put full strength into the game. Two victories over Ellwood City and one over Monaca, were the bright spots of the season. T Captain Campbell and Douds, the two Senior stars, were the out- standing performers while Herrold, the flashing forward, always managed to give a good account of himself.

However, when they did get started, they made everybody step live- ly, and succeeded in handing an occasional defeat to several rival teams. Several games were lost by close scores, and victories were claimed over Beaver Falls, Ellwood City, Freedom and Beaver. Each member of the team deserves credit for playing a steady and de- termined game of basketball. Much interest was taken by the students and there was no lack of good substitute material. Elizabeth Calhoon, better known as Whitey, was captain of the team, and held down her old berth at forward, where she rang up numer- ous points for Rochester. Liz has been on our team for four years, and is probably one of the best players ever turned out by R. H. S. Others tobe lost by graduation are: Willie Simpson and Gertie Campbell. However, we still have with us such old reliables as Mildred Howe, Hilda Galligan, Margaret Yeager, Mary Bauer, Flora Todd, and Blanche Edwards. Miss McCandless, the coach, has worked hard to develop a scrappy, smooth working machine, and deserves a lot of credit for her interest and efforts. R H. -Ambridge .. R H 20-Ellwood City R.

Dancing was the main diversion of the evening. The music was furnished by an orchestra composed of High School pupils. Delightful refreshments were served by the committee. T. F. G. PARTY The T. F. G. Club held a Hallowe'en party at the American Legion Hall. Danc- ing was the most important event of the evening, and afterwards a lunch was served. T. L. T. PARTY Emma Blazier entertained the members of the T. L. T. Club at her home in Baden. The greater part of the evening was spent in dancing. A delightful lunch was served by the hostess and the guests departed to their homes after an evening of merriment. GYM CLUB DANCE All the other clubs having taken part in some social activity, the 'tGym Club not to be outdone, held a dance in the gymnasium. Gay Jersey and Smitty, who never lack strength on the gridiron were not lacking in strength when it came to mastering the saxophone. Jap and Hart showed their vocal talent to the audience when they sang Maggie, Jap portraying the part as the irate mother and Hart the young flapper daughter. After a few more dances, Mr. Duncan decfded that it was time for everyone to return to their respective quarters. HISTORY CLUB PARTY After having such a good time at the party Miss Anderson had given, the His- tory Club of whom she is sponsor, decided to give another party at the Girls' Club Rooms. Dancing was enjoyed by some, while others spent the evening in playing cards. A delightful time was enjoyed by everyone. All the members hope they can continue with their parties. ????????CANDLES As is his annual custom, Mr. Duncan had a bfrthday this year. Several of the Senior girls decided that he should be remembered and accordingly a candle bedecked cake was mysteriously placed in chapel. For the first CYD time in his life Mr. Duncan appeared embarrassed and forgot to blow out the candles. This gave the faculty an inspiration to celebrate. They did, by a dinner at noon which proved a great suc- cess. Nevertheless we are still in the darkness as to Mr. Duncanis age. JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY The walls of R. H. S. will always remember the farewell party given to the Seniors by the Junior Class. An enjoyable program was presented in the High School Auditorium by the Juniors. Afterwards the happy group turned their footsteps to the waxy dancing floor of the gymnasium, which was decorated in the colors of both the Junior and Senior classes. Classy favors were presented, then to the strains of the orchestra we tripped the light fantastic until 11:30. The Juniors believed in making it a memorable event, for they finished with a lunch. And the Seniors felt as Bobby Burns says: We'll take a cup o'kindness yet for Auld Lang Sync. V SENIOR-SOPHOMORE PARTY The Seniors entertained the Sophomores at a very delightful party in the gym. The evening was spent quite pleasantly in dancing, the music being furnished by an orchestra composed of high school students who surely could play. Although the party broke up early, every one declared that they had a very fine THE LECTURE COURSE In order that the high school students might be able to attend better entertain- ments, the Senior class arranged a lecture course, different numbers of which were held throughout the winter. All of these numbers were interesting and worth while and we hope that there will be a lecture course each year. The following series of entertainments were given in the R. H.

If, perchance, you have not heard of the success of the newly organized Radio Club, I now take the opportunity to explain. Under the able direction of Mr. Litzenberg a group of radio fans decided to make a radio for the school. In order to pay expenses they staged a vaudeville show which will long be remem- bered. If you were not able to listen in that evening you missed an exceptionally interesting performance. You have been listening to station R. H. S. We are now signing off until next year. Good-bye. THE DEBATORS CLUB That the women can still out talk the men was proven to us one morning in chapel, when two speeches were given on the following sub- ject: Join the debating club. All the students were urged to join this highly interesting and in- structive organization. Many of the more argumentative students re- sponded to the appeal with the result that an excellent debating team was formed. All their energies have not been confined to debating, however, as a very peppy party was held in the gym. HISTORY CLUB The History Club is one of the live wires in R. H. S., but how could a club be otherwise with Miss Anderson at its head? The club has had very profitable meetings where a study of Beaver County History has been pursued. And is that all? Not on your life. Several parties have been staged and each was pronounced a big success. LATIN CLUB Motto Possuht quin. posse 'videhtur Because they think they can, they can.

W.'s The purpose of this worthy organization is just as secret as the name sounds. It is more exclusive than secret, and it is better than exclusive, for it was founded on a blue Sunday. We, ourselves, are not quite sure just how prosperous this Club will become because the Treasurer and Chief Errand Boy, Chester Anderson, reports that the funds are very low! We have had one meeting so far at the home of the Main Hostess, Beborah Durns, and the Worthy President and Chief Cook Milliam Wur- ray, showed us how to cook. CThree potatoes in a gallon of grease.D The Secretary, or better known as Chief Slinger of Coal, Hilliam Wowe, kept us at a very fun-J comfortable temperature. The chief Dishwasher, Rilda Humble, with the aid of the Chief Slinger of Coal, licked the dishes clean after the feast. The Supervisor, C???J Corothy Draven, took good care that there was plenty of racket, music, and all kinds of commotion in general. May our Club grow in wealth and happiness! We bid you all fare- well! R H S Seventy-four '4 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 fi. lil n, 11. fl. ,Q UAT ff, Lf! 1 , .fy . 'kk tl -H N N 1 f 2 e A ., 'Q -N r t fu ,AN A 2 ,X ,f , 1, 7 :Al 2 ' ' ff ..

The fans were swept clean off their feet by the closeness of the fight. Bone Crusher Hetzler led the early part of the fight but Murray came back strong in the last round. In the tenth round, both fighters advanced from their corners groggy and goofy. Mur- ray led with ia left jab to the ear but missed and landed in the press box. After returning to the ring, Murray dribbled across the floor and shot, mak- ling the score two all. Murray ad- vanced the ball twenty-five yards on the next kick-off, and punted from mid-field. Bone Crusher was penalized two yards for whistling and the round ended score 0-0. The last round was furious. Mur- ray slapped Hetzler on the wrist, and Hetzler, covered with blood, dove off of the ropes, and threw Murray for a two yard loss. The bell rang, ending one of the greatest battles in ring his- tory. Hetzler was awarded the Ref- eree's decision.

WARNIN We have been notified by the Holeproof Hosiery Company that certain house-to-house canvassers are taking advantage of the reputation and quality of Holeproof Hosiery and are going around the country posing as agents for holeproof Hosiery and soliciting orders. Many people have' placed orders with these supposed Holeproof agents, paid a deposit, and have never received hosiery nor heard from them again. Holeproof Hosiery is sold only through retail stores and as dealers in this famous quality hosiery we carry complete stocks, and both we and the manu- facturers stand back of every pair we sell. Why take chances on being deceived or receiving inferior goods by buying from canvassers when you can come here and be certain of getting highest quality merchandise at lower prices than canvassers ask? We welcome the opportunity to prove this to you. R A Y ' S SHOES HOSIERY ROCHESTER, PENNA. R H S N incty-one 1924 THE MIRAGE 1924 Washing Machines Ironing Machines Household Appliances S. E.
