Many ol the citizens had then begun to realize that a high school edu- cation Was becoming necessary lor the advancement ol their children. Consequently the building was made to accommodate vvhatseemed at that time a great many pupils. The graduating class ol1917 had only Q0 pupils in it, and the total enrollment ol the school vvas less than 100. Today it is much dihferent. Qur high school is packed to the rool, and even at that the Freshmen have been lorced to give up their birthright and stay dovvn at Pinney Street another year. We have in our graduating class this year 140 pupils while the total enrollment is 500. Nevertheless, this school is our school and it typilies lcnovvledge, good times, and hundreds ol happy incidents. Rochester l'ligh School vvill always remain our idea ol the best there is.

Friend and comrade, Mr. Barner has talcen an active interest in the Rochester Schools for many years. During the five years he was principal, Mr. Barner came in contact with the students in his worlc frequently. He learned the new courses of study which would be of the utmost value to the student, and now, as super- intendent,isinstallingtheseintothe school system. Through his constant efforts for the betterment of the schools of Rochester, Mr. Barner has endeared himself to the students, faculty, and residents of Rochester. Mr. Barner's jovial and pleasing personality have made him one of the most loved members of the faculty. lt is with regret that we, the class of 1935, take leave of him, for we will miss his help- ing hand as we turn to face the diffi- cult problems of life. FENTON H. FARLEY Principal of the l-ligh School Geneva College, B. S. We were glad of the opportunity to welcome Mr. Farley to his first year as principal of Rochester High School. Mr. Farley came to us from the Industrial Arts division of Rochester Junior l-ligh School. Although we have caused him many trials and tribulations, baclc of them all was the sincere gratitude for his sound advice and interest in our affairs. l-le has helped us over many difficulties and has proved himself a valuable asset to the school. We the graduating Class, feel sure that in leaving school, we are losing a valuable advisor in Mr. Farley, and wish to thanlc him for his noble efforts throughout the year.

Through his guidance the class has successfully gone through the years of high school with considerable Financial and social success. l-'le has marshalled his talents in football and basket- ball and there stands his record of games well played. We, the Class of '35 extend our thanks to a student, athlete and above all, a sincere friend. E igbtem THE MIRAGE CHRONICLES OF MCDST WORTI-IY AND ANCIENT CLASS GF '35 Xxfhir-rrr-rr-rlll That, ladies and gentlemen,is Time turning baclc the centuries to 1923. At that far distant and half forgotten date our unworthy and considerably smaller feet tripped fearfully into the venerable halls of Jefferson Street, Dinney Street, and Adams Street school buildings and long process of our civilization was begun. Most honorable friends of present day were even less Icnown than man in renowned celestial body. For students in primary grades worthy school board graciously furnished many intriguing diversions, such as puzzles and colored beads, which we have missed so sadly, in our second childhood Cnamely-I'ligh Schooll. Swiftly as flight of swallows passed three years in this blissful state. Fourth Grade-Ahl magical words-dost realize full significance of this memorable step? I-low accomplished, intellectual, brilliant, and worldly-wise we felt when we realized that one teacher could no longer instruct us in all branches of Icnowledge. Ifagerly we attaclred such glamorous new subjects as geography. Those wonderful, wide, flat boolcs-how conveniently they replaced our sleds when we desired to coast on our way to school. For another reason too, Fourth Grade has become a land- marlc in our story, at last we were unitedl Closely following one another, as manis shadow follows him, came Fifth and Sixth Grade. During these glorious years we were for the first time oldest pupils in building and felt vastly superior to unfortunate small fry, still in First, Second and Third years. Junior High-With horrifying shock we suddenly realized that institution we were attending had demoniacal purpose of teaching us something-that we were expected to grow up. Occasionally we were addressed by tactful speakers as young men and women. Twice each weelc we gleefully traversed distance to the most venera- ble white temple of learning at corner of Adams Street and Ohio Avenue to gambol about in gym and domestic science rooms. And then without one wistful baclrward look we reached final chapter of our narrative. As massive doors slowly swung open, our ranlcs filed into the white temple-Q we no longer left after brief visit of one or two periods, it had become our permanent abiding place. After gaining entrance we noticed addition of numerous strange be- ings-after due deliberation we decided these animals belonged to the same specie as ourselves, but were of different strain, ours being classed resident and theirs non- resident. Many were further differentiated by mode of travel. Four times each day we traveled weary bloclcs from home to school on lowly feet, they however, sped over roads in huge red and yellow dragon cars. Forsalcing former position of eminence in Eighth Grade we had become lowly worms and as such found ourselves relegated to underground corridors. Ch, shades of Pluto, woe were wel Periodically at command N inmm THE MIRAGE ol that martinet, lamiliarly lcnovvn as a schedule, vve ventured into light ol upper Floors. l lere most humble feet invariably led us up or down wrong staircase to vast amuse- ment of honorable upper-classmen. One hundred and eighty days We remained in this unenviable state. For eleven years vve had struggled tovvard this point of eminence. Alasl victory turned to ashes in our mouths as vve realized seniors are not sacred, but are expected to obey rules too. The shoclc was overly severe for precious mental balances. Present- ing vvall of cynical sophistication and ennui to lower classmen we turned to each other for comfort. l-leartrending and pitiful sightl-when by ourselves vve reverted to childhood. But breathe not a word of this, we must maintain our prestige among juniors and sophomores. Main interest vvas creation of this worthy worlc ol art. Neces- sary amount ol Filthy lucre was secured by peanut brittle sales, Christmas card sales, and gentle sarcasm ofl. A. White. To you,venerable advisor,vve give our heartfelt gratitude. An organ pealsi blaclc robed Figures march slovvly, solemnly dovvn the aisle. ln their hands they carry a certificate ol their accomplishment. Highschool days are over. lvlary Ledger 9894555 Twmgy COMMERCIAL STUDENTS THE M RAGE ISABELLE GARDNER Izzy Commercial Club I, Girl Reserves II, Nature Study Club Ill.

Qn September ninth, 1934, the curtain rose on the First act ol our drama oi I'Iigh School Life. Asthe cIassoI 36,Hvve Ieltciuite proud to bea partoisuch a great production. I-Iovvever, most of our vvorl4 vvas backstage, and vve l4nevv little ol the real lile behind the lights, or the thrill ol a curtain call. We vvere active only as stage hands, carpen- ters and scene shilters and such, and part of our class did not even report to Hihe Iheatre oi I'Iigher Learningf, but vvere stationed in the Junior l'ligh School. It was quite a disappointment to be I4ept Irom the stage While the upper classes had chapel and clubs, but we studied diligently lor the practice roles we Filled in our ovvn assembly meetings, and lool4ed hopefully toward the time when we should Fill the more important parts, satisfied vvith vvhat little acclaim vve did receive. With the beginning ol the second act vve again met disappointment. Due to the removal ol all the Ereshmen to pinney Street, We still remained the youngest class in high school. Even so, vve vvere more noticed than belore, and our First appearance before the lights, in the Iorm of the Sophomore-Senior party, was a great success. In the remaining scenes oi the act vve vvere Iairly vvell represented in the various clubs and in Iootball and baslcetball. As a vvhole, vve vvere quite satisfied with ourselves, We had done our best as understudies For the upper-classmen, and vvere Finally prepared to step into the roles they had vacated. Forty-eight THE MIRAGE With the rising of the curtain on the third act, vve lcnevv for the first time, the actual fear of stage fright. For novv, vve filled the character parts, and all the attention was centered on us. But, spurred on by the wonderful vvorlc of our leading man, Clyde Smith, and under the able direction of Mr, Barner and Mr. Farley and their subordinate directors, Miss Miller and Mr. von Philp, vve soon lost our fear, and proved our ability to act by malcing a success of selling bracelets. Then came the Candy Sale, in which Miriam Fay deserves mention for her portrayal of the successful sales woman. Selling magazines was the high light of the next scene, and it, too, vvas quite successful. The much delayed Bake Sale provided the action for the fourth scene, and then came the grand Finale of the vvhole act: The Junior-Senior Prom. l-lere vve forgot the vvorry and trouble of its preparation, and proceeded to have a good time. As the curtain fell, and the players made their exits, the applause was loud. The audience clearly showed its impatience for the last act. After a short intermission vve shall begin this last act of our play. We are glad that we can enter it, not as the inexperienced, frightened youngsters vve once vvere, but with a feeling of security gained only through experience. Three years ago vve were all stage-hands and extras, since then some have been finds while others of us have not been so successful, but at least vve all have done our best.

We hope he will not suffer from housemaid's knee, but we are sure Mr. Reader has been amply rewarded for the risk he took. KETTERER VICTORIOUS! The battle of the century was held last night at the town hall. As thou- sands cheered, Miss Lucille Kroen nobly defended her right to send Mr. Owen Ketterer home at 10 o'clock. Mr. Ketterer scored the final point when he roved that John Gremer had been known to stay until 10:15. Tsk! Tsk! As Betty Dagen says, Boys will be 'Boyers'. NOTED AUTHOR ILL Miss Helen Mulheim, who rose to fame by the publication of her prize- winning novel 'ilimmy a Nickel, has been confined to her home, suff- ering from a nervous breakdown in- curred while working on her book. When Miss Mulheim was inter- viewed by reporters about her book, her only words were Chook, chook, and she refused to be quoted. GREAT SCIENTIST BAFFLED Professor Louis Andriotti has been working night and day in the Biology laboratory to discover why, if a duck sat on a chicken egg, the result would not be a duck. Pro- fessor Andriotti studied under the famous biologist Dr. Shively, and is considered one of the most orig- inal workers in this field. We are sure Professor Andriotti will meet with his f'usual success in this ex- periment. Fifty-two SGPHCDMGRES THE MIRAGE SCDPHGMCDRE CLASS OFFICERS Rresident ....,... ................

We were only considered Uninth gradersn instead oi the usual Hireshiesfi Qne advantage of being in Junior lmligh, we were supreme over the others in the building fsomething lil4e the Seniors in the l-ligh Schoolj The year was uneventful except for the usual school instances. The summer passed and in September the Class oi 1937 had the so-called thrill oi becoming Sophomores in our illustrious high school. Naturally vve vvere just lilce a freshman class entering high school except for age and name. It was so clitierent from Junior l-ligh, but vve soon overcame these obstacles and ielt right at home. Football season came along bringing Hpepi' meetings, exciting games and football heroes. We vvere not acquainted vvith Upepi' meetings but vvhen it came to yelling, vve supported our team vvith our vvhole heart for should l say lungs.D We vvere very proud that our class vvas represented on the team, Also in baslcetball, Sophomores could be seen mal4ing goals lor the team. The Vuletide Season came along and alter a Christmas vacation vve returned to our school rooms vvith enthusiasm to start the nevv year 1935 right. Evidently the teachers thought the same and in order to start the nevv year right they gave a semester examination. The rest ol the school year soon passed and vve have completed one year ol our history in Rochester l ligh, ln this one year vve have assumed a spirit oi loyalty and love lor our school that vve hope will remain with us through all the years. Fifty-fam' THE MIRAGE I-llAWf'-RTI-IA On the shores of Coca-Cola Dwelt the Moxies in their wigwam, Old Lifebouy, the Chieftain, Pebecco, the Grizzled Prophet, And the warriors young and eager. ln the lodge of the old Chieftain, With Uneeda, more than mother, And Victrola, old and feeble, Lived the warmest of the maidens Musterole, Lifebuoyfs daughter, Musterole, the Sunlcist Chiclet, All the young men sought her favor, Brought her Thermos skins for raiment. Brought her Tarvia for ointment. And sweet Musterole smiled on them, Smiled on Listerine and Valspar, Smiled but left them unrequited, For her love she gave to no one. Then from Raybestos mountains From the far heights of Texaco, Came the young chief, lnstant Postum lvlightiest hunter of the forest, All superb in strength and beauty, l-le it was who trapped the Kodalc, l'le who shot the great Sears Roebuclc Shot him with his swift Pierce Arrow, O'er him gazed the Moxie maidens, Pennzoil poured her glowing glances, Bold lpana sought to win him, Dreslcin brought him cakes and honey, But for Nlusterole yearned Postum, No Murine could quench the ardor That she lcindled in his bosom. Through the fields of ripe Wheatena, Through the Shredded Wheat they wandered, There beneath the Palmolive shadows from the bough she picked the Grape Nuts lhere they saw the sun descending. Naught cared Postum for the night wind, Blowing through the l-loleproof forests, Musterole was there beside him. To his bosom quiclc he drew her, Whispered words of love a burning, Told her how he'd slain Bull Durham, Told her how he'd trapped Budweiser, Boasted of his father's tepee, With its sides of strong langee, With its wings of soft Sunoco. To him Musterole a-quiver l.istened and her heart gave answer, All the warmth of love she gave him, Gave her heart to lnstant Postum. There he wooed her, there he won her. Small Post loasties came to bless them, Little Beech Nut, Wrigley Spearmint, Vici Kid and Pluto Water, Unguentine, all quintuplets. These and other little loasties Filled the wigwam with their laughter. -JOI-IN OLSON Fifty-jim' THE MIRAGE SCDPI-IQMQRE BUYS Bellce, William Bloom, Fingol Brewer, Raymond Bromley, Jaclc Buttermore, David Carcaise, John Carpenter, Robert Cascio, Anthony Cassidy, William Catanese, Charles Chewning, Charles Cordes, John Curtis, Robert Darr, William Ealcen, Joe Edge, Francis Elling, Robert Engle, Bernard Fischer, Robert Fisher, Donald Fry, William Gerace, Joe Giles, Harold Gordon, Chester Grumbianian, Stanle Harvey, Donald Haddad, James Harris, Paul Hedge, Samuel Herdt, Lester Howard, Leslie Kehehovvsld, Milce Kelley, Robert Knopp, William Kornman, Homer Kramer, John Lavv, Joseph Majors, Charles Y Fifty-fix May, Charles McBride, Robert McCready, Donald Mc:Garvey, William McDonald, Charles Means, Ralph Moore, Kenneth Morell, Frank Musgrave, Benjamin Neville, James Q'Dell, Howard panner, l-larold Paris, Anthony Reasner, Buddie Reruzzi, Fred Portugallo, Anthony Radclitle, Clarence Remaley, Thomas Reno, Jack Rosenberger, Walter Rovve, John Ruby, George Savot, John Scheidemantel, Franlc Shannon, Eugene Sheetz, Lloyd Smith, Charles Snyder, Elmer Stenger, Vfilfred Stenzel, Herbert Straley, Qscar Vollmer, Charles Webster, Donald West, Jaclc Wise, Billy Wolfe, Richard Woods, Henry E MIRA SOPI-IOMORE GIRLS Adamson, Helen Armen, Mildred Assad, Adele Barkley, Lenore Beatty, Eileen Baird, Eleanor Bentel, Helen Bierer, Mary Blazier, Emma Board, Olga Mae Brlcovich, Anna Brtlco, Ethel Buclcenheimer, Lillyan Burch, Marjorie Camerota, Mary Campbell, Jane Coblentz, Mable Climo, Mildred Curtis, Mary Catherine Cuspard, Ruth Davies, Betty Day, Betty Dennerlein, Genevieve Donatell, Norma Donatell, Edith Downes, Lillian Eberhardt, Ruth Eclcles, lrene Erlwein, Mary Franlc, Dorothy Gentis, Frances Gilbert, Verna Goedeker, Dorothy Goettman, Alice Ggldeif Frances Graham, Ruth Haddad, Katherine Henderson, Audrey Headland, Eleanor Hench, Kathryn Heyman, Helen Heyman, Mary Holeman, Helen Holz, Margaret Holden, Betty Huber, Mildred Keck, Dorothy Kellcer, Martha Knight, Barbetta Kommel, Ada Kovach, Anna Krut, Lillian Leacoclc, Alice Mathews, Betty Matterness, Louise Mavero, Jean McCally, Maeola McElroy, Dorothy McLaughlin, Eunice McCourt, Geraldine Mike, Lucille Moir, Agnes Musgrave, Dorothy Newell, Ruth Noskey, Jane Pander, Gertrude Fifty-Jevm Pedaline, Theresa Pearson, Ruth Pfiefer, Margaret Polliard, Freda Polce, Margaret Primo, Mary Rankin, Audrey Romigh, Erma Roselip, Abbie Mae Ross, Virge Shanor, Vera Shemone, Alice Shrum, Virginia Simmons, Margaret Slavin, Eileen Smith, Edith Stang, Florence Swager, Leona Trimble, Ruth Llnrue, Virginia Vance, Dorothy Vance, Ruth Wagner, Faith Wahl, Olive Wallace, Roberta Wenniclc, Phyllis Wessel, Estella West, Bette White, Norma Winograd, Selma Woclceley, Genevieve Wolfe, Mildred Woods, Marjorie THE MIRAGE SOP!-IOMORE MATCHING TEST The famous lion tamer ..............

Sixg-one THE MIRAGE CCAC!-4 ERNEST MEYER f'Ernie Meyer has returned to his Alma Mater and this time as head football coach. After graduating from Rochester f-ligh School in 1993, he en- tered Geneva College, here he played four years under Bo McMil- lan. Ernief' was a four year letterman and vvas elected captain of the Geneva eleven his fourth year. From Geneva he entered the profes- sional field and played tvvo years with the Portsmouth Pros. l-le has helped coach at R. l-l. S. before and acted as a line coach for our HQQH team. l-lis vast experience along with his willingness to vvorlc with the players has helped the Blue and White in their season. Ernie,' vvorlced hard to develop the boys into a smooth running machine. l-le not only vvas a capable coach but also a real friend to every member on the squad. .Yixty-Iwo THE MIRAGE VON Pl-lll.l3 ................4................ Assistant Coach Von was Ernie's right hand man this season. l-le was extremely popular with the players and the entire student body. When the spirit was low at cheer practice it was Von who pepped everyone up with his fiery little tallcs. Much credit is due to him for his worlc with the team. Coming from Salem College where he won fame in all branches of sports, he made good from the beginning and has proved a valuable assistant to Hlfrnien Meyer. ROBERT BERNHARDY .......,................,....... Captain When the lettermen elected Bob captain they piclced one of the hardest and most earnest worlcers on the Rochester football squad. l-le has been on the varsity for the past two years and has not once shirlced his duty. His Come on Fellows could always be heard in the thiclc of the fight. Bob's biggest feature was in his defensive work in baclcing up the line. l'lis diagnosing plays is well-lcnown by all foes. Bernie,' has been honored also on several all-opponent teams in the valley. When June comes 'fBob'l will leave us and in his departure we lose a versatile foot- ball and baslcetball player. Qur best wishes go with him that he will continue his success in other fields that he may enter. 'DOC' l3lEl2SOl. .............................. Team Physician Doc Piersol was almost as important as Coach Meyer and his assistants. It was up to Doon to lceep the boys in perfect physical condition and he did a fine job of it this year. It was Doc who rushed out on the field when anyone got hurt and it was he who fixed up the bumps and sprains. l'le was always on the job and the success our gridders had this season belongs partly to Doon .Yixgy-three THE MIRAGE MANAGERS Senior Manager ...............................

RQBERT READER Did it ever occur to you, hovv tape, vvater, and tovvels reached the team when they were most needed? These boys are a very important cog in the machinery oi our team but they receive very little credit lor their worlc. lhey have to put up vvith the many demands oi coaches and players. We vvant to compliment them on their line vvorlc this season. CHEERLEADERS Margaret Hannigan, Eleanor Wolfe, Mary Goehring, Betty Mcllveen, Jane Wise, Elmer Snyder This group is made up oi the most laithiul group ol students in our school. They vvorl4 hard to develop pep and school spirit at our cheer practices and on the Field. Hats oil and more power to them. .S'2x.fy-fam' THE MIRAGE HAROLD HODNICK--Guard This blond haired boy proved to be another oi the strong points in our line this season. Much credit is due to him for his good defensive work and his ahil- ity to keep plugging when the going was tough. We hate to see him leave us as Rochy could use a lineman ol his qual- ity next year. ANDREW GENEVIE-Guard Amgen is our stocky, curley headed guard who has played for us the last two years. l-le was always a Fighter until the Final whistle blew. An injured ankle kept Hfxngen from playing in some oi the games but he made up for what he lost in his ability to kick the all important extra point. l-lis line work in this art and his iast charging will be a goal lor some iuture guard. JOHN SLYMAN-Center Hlurki' has proved his ability as a good center in the space oi one year. Few, ii any, centers he played against this sea- son have outplayed him. All oi his passes were accurate. Despite his lack oi weight he backed up the line in line style and put the necessary drive into the spirit of the line when it was needed. We will ieel the loss oi Hlurkn next year. LOUIS ANDRIOTTI-Guard l.ouieH has Finished his second year on the varsity and he has kept his place in the line well Filled throughout the year. Although he was handicapped by a twisted ankle, Hl.ouie played and fought hard every minute he was in the game. ln his remaining year, we feel sure he will meet with success. Sixty-five THE MIRAGE MELVIN COLE-End Bud,H on the varsity for his second year, has again proved his ability to play his position. l'le has always been a seri- ous, hard worker, always doing his best. l.et's hope you keep the good work up, i'Bud fwe look forward to next year as one of success for you. WILFRED PFEIFER-End Consistency gave Pefifer his place in the lineup. l-le could always be de- pended upon to do his best under any circumstances. l le did exceptionally good work on the defense and showed everyone he couldcatch passes as well. From the results, it is not hard to see that he did his share toward that Uendf' LAWRENCE POLCE-End There are still some good football players in Monaca and the Blue and Xlffhite found one in Polce this year. l-le played his end position like a veteran and was one of the best defensive line- men we had. ln his return next year, we hope he continues his good work and has even greater success. JOHN WINDLE-Tackle iiWimpy'i was one of the best defen- sive men on the team. l-le has been a strong man on the varsity for three years, and will long be remembered by his op- ponents as a hard fighter from the start to the finish. Dan has made many friends through his ability as a football player in our school and in other schools in the valley. l-lis good humor and seri- ousness were well mixed and his place will be mighty hard to Fill. THOMAS MOORE-Tackle Hlomn in his first year on the varsity has proved he can play football as a coach would like it played. l-le not only handled the tackle post well but, when called upon proved to be a very good end. We will certainly miss his spirit and strength next year. JOE CONTI-Tackle Joe has been a conscientious player on the Blue and White team for the past three years. l-lis steady work at tackle has made him a valuable man. Joe not only played a good game of football but was liked by every member of the team as a good sport and a hard, earnest worker. Gur best wishes follow him wherever he goes. sixfjl-Jix THE MIRAGE , 1 I XM I dy. iS.W.W- 'MM' AW A . - -f f 'S 4 1 .nl CAPTAIN BERNHARDY-Back HBobH vvas the Big, help to the squad. I'Ie used his weight and size to the best advantage in backing up the line and in blocking. Along vvith these, he also threvv most of the passes and did the line plunging. l'le directed the team in a smooth, ellicient Way, and when next year comes around the team will certainly miss his Fine spirit and ability. RONALD ELLING-Back Ron vvas the boy vvho called the signals and ran the Blue and Xllfhite ma- chine. I-le did most of the blocking and showed that he could really clear a path for the ball carriers. l Iis ability to catch punts and passes also made him a valuable player. We will miss Roms Fighting spirit and ability next year. --.I sr l GRANT THOMPSON-Back HGit played both hall and quarter- back this year, and did his best at both. I-Iis long punts often helped the Blue and White outol a hole along vvith his ability to run the ends. HGitH was a valuable player and will certainly be missed by the squad next year. JOHN DRAGANZA-Back In .Iohn's First year out lor the varsity, he proved that he could really tote a Iootball. I.ack ol experience kept him lrom developing into an even greater player, but vve think he has done re- markably well. I-lis punting left little to be desired and he proved his ability to skirt the ends. .fixly-.rcven THE MIRAGE CLYDE SMITH-Back ln Smitty we Find one of the smallest backs on the squad but despite his stature he showed everyone that he could nab passes with the best ol them. With ll - ' ll ' . . Smitty s experience and ability we feel sure nothing but success will accompany him in his football season next year. CHARLES CATANESE-Back Charlie is the pride of the Sopho- more class and also a hard hitting lull- back. l'le has the strength and power to become one ol the best backs for the Blue and White in his remaining two years. l-lis work in backing up the line will come in handy next year along with his ability to throw passes, 2:55555 RESUME OF SEASON Rochester O ........... ................., A liquippa QO Rochester O ,...

Aliquippa E20 Rochester I-Iigh opened their season with a strong Aliquippa eleven. The game was hard fought until the finish with the Blue and White gridders holding Aliquippa on their goal line several times. Casp and Voltich scored for Aliquippa, the latter falling on a bloclced punt in the last quarter. Much of the playing was done in mid- field and few passes were tried as both teams were playing for brealcs. Casp of Aliquippa proved to be the mainstay of their team and scored twice with his ability to hit the line. Our entire line played well with Bernhardy and Catanese doing good work in the baclcfield. Casp, Aliquippais full-baclc and Eugene Wolfe, Rochester end, were de- clared ineligible by the Rules Committee of the W, R. l. A. l.. The game was put out of the records of the W. R. l. A. l.. and neither team was given points in sectional rating. Rochester O ........................,...... Midland 6 The following Saturday Rochester seelcing revenge of last yearis upset, journeyed to Midland and were defeated again on a wet, muddy field. The first half of the game was scoreless with a number of punts being exchanged and very few passes thrown. However, the last half proved to be more interesting. Midland in the last quarter after completing a long forward pass got their first good chance for a score and after a few tries Monac carried the ball over from the five yard line. Rochester failed to score when deep in Midlands territory, twice being held for downs. Polce, Cole, and Slyman played a good defensive game and Thompson turned in some long punts which helped keep the ball in Midland's territory. This game was well played and hard fought throughout, although it was marlced up against Rochester. Rochester Q6 .............................. Union Township O The Blue and White won their first game of the season when Union Township l-ligh School was defeated in our second home game. The Union gridders were no match for the bigger and faster Rochester team and had much difficulty gaining ground through the line. The game was marred by many fumbles onthe part of the Rochester backs. Thompson scored first on a short pass thrown by Bernhardy. Soon afterwards Smith and Elling scored by passes thrown by the same passer. ln the final period John Reasenell intercepted a Union pass and raced across the line for the final score. Qur line played well forcing Union l'ligh to throw many passes which were incomplete or intercepted. Moore, Andriotti, and Genevie showed fine defensive worlc. Sixty-nine THE MIRAGE Rochester QO ....................... ...... T rinity 6 The next game was played at Washington, Pennsylvania where Rochester met Trinity High. The Blue and White held the edge in the First quarter but early in the second period Elias, a Trinity tackle, scored on a lateral pass. The last hall was a sur- prise to all. ln the fourth quarter, Trinity started their second team, and on the First play Captain Bernhardy broke through left tackle and raced 75 yards for a touchdown. Draganza scored soon afterwards on an intercepted pass. The last touchdown was scored by Rolce, when Genevie on the kick-otl booted the ball over the Trinity goal line and Rolce fell on it forthe score. Qur line held well with Rolce, Windle, and l'lodnick playing a Fine game. Rochester O ............................... New Brighton 'IQ Rochester journeyed to New Brighton seeking revenge For last year's upset but were beaten bya hard running New Brighton team. The lvlaroon and Gold seemed to be at their best and kept Rochester in their own territory most of the time. Hornick, Nlujwit, and Radakivich stood out lor New Brighton. Many ol the players on both sides were injured. Rochester lost many costly yards through penalties which paved the way for the New Brighton's scores. Brighton gained much yardage through the center of the Blue and White line and this was the First time our line did not play up to the expectations of the coaches. Rochester got stronger in the second halt and prevented Brighton from scoring on several occasions. Rochester O ............................,.. Beaver Falls 13 Beaver Falls came down to Rochester and won a hard-fought game, 13 to O. Rochester out-played the Tigers, registering more yardage and First downs. There were many breaks occurring in the game and the Beaver Falls gridders seemed to take Tull advantage of them while the Blue and White missed some chances to score. A blocked punt and an intercepted pass were converted into touchdowns. The game was a little uninteresting due to mud and a high wind which hampered both elevens considerably. .Twenty THE MIRAGE Rochester O ............................... Ambridge 'IQ ln one oF the best and hardest Fought games oF the year, a Fighting Rochester team lost to Ambridge. The Garnet and Gray scored very early in the First quarter when Don Fouse broke through leFt tackle and ran to the 9 yard line. AFter several attempts, Joe l'lerman Finally pushed it over. Rochester than began to Function and during the remaining First halF kept the Ambridge team in their own territory most oF the time. ln the Final period, Ambridge succeeding in blocking a Rochester punt which resulted in the second Ambridge score. The entire Rochester team worked and Fought hard together and never gave up, For at the Final whistle the Blue and White had driven the ball to the Ambridge 4 yard line. This game will be remembered by Fans and players as one oF the best oF our Football season. Rochester i5 .............................. Monaca O The Final home game oF our season was played with our ancient rival Nlonaca. The Southsiders displayed their well-known Fighting ability and succeeded in holding Rochester scoreless in the First halF. l'lowever, in the second halF, things began to happen and the Blue and White advanced the ball to the Monaca goal line on several occasions. AFter a Few attempts For a touchdown, Genevie was pulled out oF the line and booted a perFect Field goal From the 'I8 yard line. This seemed to put the power in the Rochester team and in the Fourth period, Johnny Draganza caught a punt and behind some good blocking, got away For a 5 yard run. Later on, Catanese scored on a plunge through the line From the 3 yard stripe. Rochester O ............................... Ellwood City O Rochester journeyed to Ellwood City and repeated the score oF last year. During the First part oF the game, Rochester was kept in their own territory most oF the time, being Forced to punt behind their own goal line several times. The Ellwood players showed a strong deFense and a much improved oFFense. Late in the third quarter Ellwood took the ball down to the Rochester 4 yard stripe but Failed to push it over, Rochester intercepted a number oF Ellwood's passes, but all were deep in the Blue and White territory and did not oFFer a chance For a score. The game was Fought hard and clean with Few penalties being inFlicted on either side. Rochester Qi .............................. Beaver O ln the Final game oF the season, Rochester met Beaver in the annual Thanksgiving Day battle and won a hard Fought contest by the decisive score oF Qi to O. The Maroon and Gray held the Rochester team Fairly well during the First halF although Rochester registered more First downs than their opponents. ln the second halF the Blue and White began to put on the power and drove the Beaver team straight down the Field with John Draganza Finally scoring on a lateral pass From Catanese. The remaining scores oF the game came in the Fourth quarter when Rochester brought the ball up to the 'TQ yard stripe. From here Capt. Bernhardy crashed through leFt tackle For the second score. Soon aFterwards Elling went through the same side oF the line and raced 4'l yards For the Final score. Genevie booted each placement perFectly. The entire Rochester team played well with Bernhardy, Elling, Thompson, and Draganza doing good work in the backField. This was the last time eleven senior letterman would wear the Blue and White They are Capt. Bernhardy, John Windle, Andrew Genevie, Joseph Conti, Thomas Moore, John Slyman, l-larold hlodnick, WilFred l3FeiFer, Grant Thompson, Ronald Elling, and John Draganza. We also say Farewell to two other senior boys who did not earn a letter but deserve plenty oF credit. They are James l3FeiFer and James Peruzzi.

He not only proved to be a good leader but also a Fine player. He was the leading scorer on our team and one oi the leading scorers in our section. Qur season's success has been due largely to his ability as a player and leader. RONALD ELLING Guard Ron playing his second year on the varsity was another one of the strong points in the lineup. His hard clean playing along with his passing and defensive worlc helped our cause a great deal. HRon was placed on the All Section 'IQ team which proved his ability as a player. We hope next year's guards prove to be as valuable as he was to us this season. ROBERT BERNI-IARDY Center Bob proved to be the mainstay of our combination this year. He developed into a Fine shot and was especially outstanding for his work under the baslcet. He was the most aggressive player on the team. He held the best centers in our section down to very few points which was a big factor in the success ol our season. JOHN KINDLE Forward Johnny , despite injuries turned in some Fine baslcetball this year. His shots from all angles seldom missed their marlc. He often came through with a score at the time when it was most needed. On the defense as well as the otlense he never gave up until the gun barlced the end ol the game. GRANT THOMPSON Forward Gif, worlced hard and really got places. He had speed and stamina which malce up a good player. He was not only a good shot but an excellent Floor man. When the going got a little rough Sit was at his best. He had the Fight and spirit which helped the Blue and White no little. CLYDE SMITH Forward HSmitty playing his second year on the varsity completed the Blue and White combination. His Floor worlc was outstanding as well as his passing. He was one of the most steady players on the team. With another year to play we Ieel sure he will lead the team through a successlul season. ROBERT READER Guard Bob has another year left to further prove his powers in baslcetball. He played a consistant game throughout the season. When he was put into the Iray he always played a hard, clean game. He has developed into a good player and on his return to varsity next year we are sure he will again be a strong point in the lineup. .Ywengy-Jefzen T H E M I R A G E RESUME OF THE SEASON Rochester l'lighls Blue and White Floor team had the best season in basketball for many years. Coach J. Edward Tayloris floormen had eight victories and eight which were marked up against them We were transferred to Class UB and found ourselves in competition with our own valley teams, who went to make up Section TQ. The team began in fine style winning three straight games in our section. All of them were well played and hard fought. Then we journeyed to Ambridge and led the Bridgers at the end of the third period, but finally were nosed out in a close finish. This game was one of the best played in our schedule. After the Ambridge game things did not run so somothly. The boys dropped four league games in a row before they succeeded in beating Bessemer l ligh, a team which was leading their section. Une of the closest contests was staged at Zelienople where we were beaten in the last three seconds of play by 39 to 30. But this did not stop the team for we went up to Leetsdale and beat them by a decisive score of QQ-16. This was no little feat because Leetsdale also won their section. Then came the Monaca game, the South- siders already had the section honors clinched but the Blue and White gave them a game to mark in their defeat column. By beating lVlonaca in this contest the Blue and White had beaten every team in Section TQ. Qur team did very well considering the fact that we had to practice in our gym, then play all of our games away. It was unfortunate that we could not receive the sup- port of the high school students for we gave our best in every contest, It is with deep regret that the fans see the five Seniors leave and thus cripple a quintet which has been so successful but we look forward to Clyde Smith and Robert Reader, lettermen, to give Rochy a successful team next year. l.et's go and support theml fl3Xf'Xi'5B Sewngi-eight Sept Sept Sept Sept Sept Sept Sept Sept Sept.

' I TROUBLES OF A HOSTESS 'tThe Life of a hostess is not all champagne and beer, says Betty lielke. For instance, not long ago I had to break in three new maids at a party given for my bridge club. Since the advent of male maids, good help has been increasingly hard to find. I must say, though, Tillie Iiernhardy, Minnie Elling, and Katie Smith did admirably well, tripping gayly from table to table, and succeeding in breaking only one dozen of my best china back scratch- ers, and my prize antique slop buck- et. They were very courteous with the guests, spilling soup on Helen Lubit's baby blue frock, and crack- ing the punch bowl on Alice Major's head. This, of course, was done in a playful mood, but I still say men CFD are better in their own fields of work. The paper appreciates this statement of Miss Belke's. SECRET OF MY SUCCESS HI owe all my success to Bull Durham, says Elmer Papa. NEV- eryone knows that I have a hidden talent for playing the piano, and yet, can you believe it, they all laughed when I sat down to play. Ifpon the advice of my friends, I chewed Bull Durham, and the juice I aimed at the keyboard worked like magic. After one chew of Bull Durham, I could conquer the worldf' Note: Not one cent was paid Mr. Papa for this testimonial. ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN These are some of the points Mr. Harrity Latherow says are essential for success. I. VVhen you accidentally step on a young ladies' foot while dancing give her a good swift kick in the shins. This will teach her to keep her feet where they belong. 2. If a young lady drops her hand- kerchief, pretend you don't see it, as carelessness is a faulty trait. 3. If the young lady faints, step out of the way, as you know a good bump on the head will bring hcr to. 4. When you take a young lady to a restaurant, don't ask her what she wants. Just order a limburger sand- wich with onion. If she doesn't like this, she is no lady, so let her walk home. 5. If the young lady wants to go to the show, say she looks tired, and firmly declare your intention of staying at home all evening.
