Davis Clara L. Hetzler Elmer Otto MR. FARLEY MR. WHITE MR. FARLEY One good reason why our school always runs so smoothly is our principal, Mr. Farley. We can't begin to list his numer- ous duties but his utmost thought is the welfare of the stu- dents and teachers. lt is mainly through his well-directed efforts that our football games and all the hundred and one details that go with them function smoothly. Mr. Farley always has one ear to the ground, figuratively speaking, keeping a sharp look-out for new and interesting assembly programs. These are always appreciated because a good assembly program seems to start the day right. When the members of the class of '42 look back on their high school clays, they will always remember Mr. Farley and the many fine things he did for them. He helped guide them so that when the time came for them to enter the world of work, their new life was just a continuation of the old. MR. WHITE T. A. White, our assistant principal of Rochester High School, should be better known as Public Love Investigator No. l. T. A. can find out more about the students than anyone else around the school. Besides teaching American History and Problems of Democracy, he finds time to help Mr. Farley in the office. This year T. A. was in charge of the excuses brought in by the students and we know he did a good job of this. He is also Senior Class Adviser. 11 f wal? 5. . -4- .M WS f ,M ww ..,E 5gR,,?i a,iA, W ,. , Eggggyw 6335 555 I ,A .,:2 Z RRR I I f f ? 3 M M IIMIIIRI Q f MR. I-IARTLEY MRS. GIBSON MISS MILLER MR. FARLEY MISS VEIOCK MR. REPMAN -Y xXx MR. VON PHILIP VM , MISISIQXWSITHROW MR. MEYER V ' A J, ' 12 W I MR. HARTLEY Mr. Hartley is our biology teacher. He tells us he is a pessimist but we all know he has a keen sense of humor and is usually in a good mood. If any snakes should get away, don't be frightened, for we always have old faithful to catch them and bring 'em back alive. Turtle Creek High School and Musk- ingum College were the scenes of Mr. Hart- ley's school days. He holds his B.S. degree. MRS. GIBSON Many people in the business world today owe their good training to Mrs. Gibson. The commercial subjects taught by her are typing, shorthand, and office practice. Mrs. Gibson is an alumna of New Brighton High School and Indiana State Teachers College where she received her B.S. degree. She attended the University of Wisconsin and has her Master of Education degree from the University of Pitts- burgh. MISS MILLER European history and mathematics are the subjects taught by Miss Miller. For several years she has been sponsor of the Junior Class and has helped to make many of their projects successful. Miss Miller graduated from Free- dom High School and the University of Pitts- burgh, where she received her A.B. degree. MR. EARL FARLEY Mr. Earl Farley heads our mathematics de- partment. He can answer and work almcst any problem given him. Among the subjects he teaches are algebra Il, plane and solid geometry, and mechanical drawing. Besides all this, he is business adviser of the Oracle. Mr. Farley graduated from Lewisburg High School and received his B.S. degree from Blaomsburg State Teachers College. He also attended Pitt, where he earned his M.Ed de- gree. MISS VEIOCK A newcomer to Rochy High this year is Miss Veiock, who came up from Junior High School. She instructs the Sophs in their Latin and the Juniors in English. She attended New Brighton High School and Grove City College, where she received her A.B. degree. We hope that this year in high school has been a very pleas- ant one for Miss Veiock. MR. REPMAN Peace and quiet reign once again in the high school since the band practices across the street. Our able band director also directs the chorus which provides us with many fine programs. Along with the band and chorus, he finds time to direct the orchestra and the boys' quartet. Mr. Repman is an alumnus of New Castle High School, Geneva College, Columbia University and the Julliard School of Music. He has his A.B., B.M., and M.A. degrees. MR. VON PHILP Von Philp, our chemistry teacher, can gen- erally be seen with a group of his students gathered around him with test tubes, Bunsen burners, or anything concerning a chemistry experiment. Besides chemistry, Von teach- es physics. This year he played the role of policeman on guard in the hall, seeing that no loitering was done by the students. Ben- wood High School, Salem College, and Pitt were honored by his attendance. He has ob- tained his B.S. and M,Ed. degrees. MISS WITHROW Even though the students grumble and growl at the hard work Miss Withrow, our English teacher, gives, we appreciate her ef- forts. Miss Withrow always has a good worcl for her students who try to do their best work. Miss Withrow is a graduate of our good old Alma Mater and the University of Pittsburgh. She holds her B.S. and M.Litt. degrees. MR. MEYER Mr. Meyer is our coach in football. Every year, regardless of the material, a fine team appears on our field. This must be what has made Rochester the most football conscious town in the valley. Mr. Meyer is a graduate of Rochester High School and Geneva College. He attended the University of Pittsburgh for Phy. Ed. and holds his B.S. degree. MR. ARMSTRONG MISS BRADSHAW MISS BREI-IM MRS. DAMAN MR. KETTERER MISS WALLACE MISS LANG MR. PUHR MISS KENSTLER 14 MR. ARMSTRONG Mr. Armstrong is another teacher who pre- pares the students of Rochester High School who enter the business world. If you don't get a chance to hear some of his jokes, you definitely miss something in school. Mr. Arm- strong is a graduate of Milford High School and Duquesne University, where he received his B.E. degree. . MISS BRADSHAW Petite Mlle. Bradshaw for should l say Senorita Bradshawl teaches French and the newly acquired Spanish. Miss Bradshaw is also debate coach and each year seems to turn out a better team than the preceeding year. She graduated from Rochester High School and Geneva College, where she received her A.B. degree. Further education was received at McGill University, the M.A. degree at the University of Pittsburgh, and Duke University. MISS BREHM Miss Brehm is head of our dramatic de- partment, besides being a teacher of English and public speaking. We may be able to find some future actors and actresses in her pub- lic speaking classes. Each year Miss Brehm devotes a great deal of her time in trying to make the Senior Class play a great success. This year, besides directing the Senior play, she directed a Junior Class play. She is a graduate of R. H. S., Emerson College of Oratory, Geneva College and the University of Pittsburgh. She has obtained B.L.l., A.B., and M.Litt. degrees. MRS. DAMAN Under the direction of Mrs. Daman, our lassies are taught how to become fine home- makers. Pans rattling and sewing machines humming are generally heard in her class- rooms. She has a very sweet disposition and deserves a lot of credit for her work. She is a graduate of Rochester High School and lndi- ana State Teachers College, where she earned her B.S. degree. MR. KETTERER Mr. Ketterer is another member ofthe com- mercial department. His particular subjects deal with bookkeeping, Comercial law, etc. Room 4 is still his special charge much to the Sophomores' dismay. He graduated from Rochester High School and also from Grove City College, where he received his B.S. in Commerce. MISS WALLACE Besides being a junior English teacher, Miss Wallace is our faithful librarian who keeps our school library in A-I condition. She is a graduate of Rochester High School and Musk- ingum College, where she received her A.B. degree. Her B.S. degree in Library Science was secured at Carnegie Tech. MISS LANG Another newcomer this year is Miss Lang. She is Mrs. Daman's competent assistant and instructs the junior high girls in the mysteri- ous arts of cooking and sewing. Miss Lang al- so teaches students of the high school home economics and social studies. She graduated from Aspinwall High School and the State Teachers College in Indiana, Pa., where she received her BS. in Education. MR. PUHR Mr. Puhr came to us after a several months' absence, due to his faithful service for our country, when he was stationed with the U. S. Army at Fort Belvoir, Va., as a draftee. He taught mathematics and history. We were glad to have him back, because we liked to see his happy face as he walked to his classes. Coonie is a Freedom High School graduate and it was at Geneva College that he secured his B.S. degree. Since he has left us again for the Army, Mr. Peacock is taking his place. MISS KENSTLER This is also Miss Kenstler's first year in Rochester High School. She doubles between junior high and senior high teaching English and German. Miss Kenstler is an alumna of Ambridge High School and graduated from Pitt, where she received her A.B. degree. MR. SMITH ond MR. BOCK MR. PEACOCK MISS SAYRE MISS HAINES MRS. LEARD 16 MR. PEACOCK Mr. Peacock is Rochester's man about town. He is a gentleman farmer, a'sociaI studies teacher, a basketball coach and a fugitive frcm the junior high. When Mr. Puhr left for the Army, Mr. Peacock came to us and has already made a place for himself in the high school. We are looking forward to a long association with him. MABEL SAYRE Sweet, dainty Mable, who is always ready, willing, and able to do her work as secretary to Mr. Farley. You can always recognize Mabel by her everlasting smile. She always has to contend with a lot of student office girls, who probably hinder more than help. Mabel is a graduate of Rochester High School and we all are honored to have her as one of us. MRS. LEARD Ting-a-ling, ling, and buzz, are perhaps the sounds that our dear friend Mrs. Leard hears each day more than anything else. She is the secretary to Mr. Barner and is kncwn for her splendid and capable work. lf you were to count the number of calls she takes each day, you would sometimes wonder if she were our superintendent's secretary or a Bell Tele- phone operator. She is a graduate of Roches- ter High School. MISS HAINES You know the old saying, good things are done up in small packages. We have an ex- ample of that right here in Rocliy lligh-Miss Haines, who is our physical education instruc- tor. When she's not up at the high school, she's down at junior high teaching health. The C. A. A. Club would not be such a success if it weren't under her supervision. She was a graduate of New Castle High School, Slippery Rock State Teachers College, and Pitt. She holds her B.S. degree. PAUL BOCK AND MR. SMITH When speaking of Mr. Smith, you would naturally connect his name with Paul Bock, because they are usually seen tog'ether around the school. We owe many thanks to our two faithful friends, who, through their efforts, make our class rooms clean and comfortable. Our class will miss them greatly. T' Q.

Senior Class Officers Left to Right- Robert Fowler, . , ,,.. .Treasurer Shirley Comp. . . . . ,Vice President Elizabeth Gissel. . . . , Secretory Robert Schuller. . . . . President Z0 There was great preparation and excitement as some new little soldiers were ready to start their preliminary training in grade school. The three R's were the only accomplishment to boast of, but lasting friendships and lasting impressions had been formed in the first six years of training. With their arrival in Junior High School goes a higher rank in school life. Self-government has begun, and subjects of higher educational value are undertaken. Preparation for life's work has begun by being separated into Academic, Commercial, and General Courses in the ninth grade. Senior l-iigh School was looming in the foreground, and beckoning onward all those who dared hope for yet another promotion in their school life. Preliminary training and good foundation work had prepared these soldiers for their role as Sophomores. This, indeed, was a great change, for they lost their exalted positions as ninth graders, and became lowly Sophomores, as they were soon put in their place by the Seniors. By the time they had learned which stairs to use and that Mr. Farley was in command of the high school forces, they were ready to become Juniors. Sitting in the balcony and having a Prom for which to work, added in- terest to the Junior year. All details were dispatched with an effort and a smile and as tradition goes, as Juniors, they gave the Prom, but it wasn't just traditional, it was special. They had reached their goal for that year, and had done the task well while striving toward it. The Senior year was the last in which the class could show its worth. The most was made of this opportunity. A championship football team and the highest candy selling record are ample proof. There have been many ups and downs in our high school years, but as Seniors, we look back and feel that we have learned something from every experience to fit us better for the battles, the victories, and the defeats of life.

As Sophs we resented having to remain seated while the Seniors were dismissed but now since we are upperclassmen, we can do our share of shoving. It has been a long and tiresome voyage, and we have often been dis- couraged and forgotten how lucky we are to have such fine boats to ride on, and such courageous captains to steer us safely past sand bars, rocks, and storms. Our texts and dictionaries have been as lighthouses in helping us through any fogs we may have encountered. So take advantage of our free education in our next, last, and most important year-our Senior year. 46 Iunior Superlalives Most Love Sick Best Complexion Waviest Hair Biggest Pest Best Dresser Prettiest Eyes Prettiest Hair Tallest Skinniest Fattest Biggest Bluffer Best Athlete Best Natured Prettiest Teeth Cutest Best Dancer Shortest Quietest Noisiest Best All-Around BOYS Charles DiFrancesca George Sturm Elvin Headland Bill Fritzius Pressley McCoy Eugene Bray Emmett Devore Willard Russell C-uy Smith Bob Salzman Bill Pandak Bill Krause John Silipigni Ernest Lowe Johnny Radler Bob Caputo Bob Whitten Edsel Trimble Jack Short Pressley McCoy C-IRLS Alice Shane Helen Martin Alberta Lembo Patty Chewning Agnes Hartman Dorothy Brobeck Marion Macombs Vera Temple Blanche Wilhelm Dolores Heideger Jean Nicely Margaret Farmer Angeline Floccari Jeanne Patterson Dorothy Hart Freda Colamarino Cilda Signore Jean Reader Margaret Collins Jackie Begley T5 WAITIN C FOR THE B ELL fg2m, b W , fade .

Class History Most of us have entered the fifteenth year of our lives this year and feel like young men and women. Of course this is because we are under the influence of the Seniors. Even if the teachers in junior high did call us the worst class they had taught in ten years, we really think we have improved during the past year as members of the high school. Upon entering, we thought we would make school customs, but none of them seemed T' ti. 59' . , V is r ' l l 4 . is 231555 is A il iQ ' .- . ' , K . - w,ww ,,,, . 4 7 , ,, , .V I .

In football we have the great man of the season, Phil Bunner Colella, our star in the backfield. Also Ed Prospero helped us to reach the goal as County Champs. In basketball, Dave MacElhaney was a great help on the varsity, and Roy Snyder, high scorer on the reserves, who also played varsity. The girls, too, can be praised in this autobiography.

Out of the buzz and discussion of each journalism period come the fine articles which are edited in the Oracle. Meeting twice each week, these young journalists use their time to learn to write and what to write successfully. When assignments are given, the students, giving their heads a scratch, settle down to present on paper their talent and effort. This year, the Journalism class, with their supervisor, Miss Withrow, visited the Press and added a few pointers to all they learned about this work. Perhaps one of these students will some day take his place in the news- paper world. Debaters The debate team has again completed another of its successful seasons under the leadership of Miss Jane Bradshaw. They have debated with some of the strongest teams in this section of the country. Besides debating, members of the teams found time to act as time- keepers and chairmen and to entertain visiting teams. For the whole club many mental and scholastic achievements were attained during the year. May they continue to do so throughout life. Th' Tri-I-li-Y The purpose of this club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Through- out the year, the girls of this organization strive to uphold this standard to the best of their ability. The Senior Tri-Hi-Y Club is made up of fifty-two Senior and Junior girls. The most outstanding social event the past year was the Mother and Daughter Banquet held at the Baptist Church. A very enjoyable program was presented to make it the biggest feature of the club's year. The annual Red Cross Drive was carried through by the Tri-Hi-Y mem- bers. Each year that the girls have token care of this campaign it has been a success, and this year was no exception. Our club is always well represented at Tri-Hi-Y Camps during the sum- mer months. The camp has been changed from Camp Caledon on Lake Erie to Camp Cornplanter in the Allegheny Mountains. The girls bring back many helpful suggestions for the club program. The year 1941-42 saw the following officers in action: President ....,.............. Anne Talbott Vice President ..., . , .Dorothy Duff Secretary ..... .,.. E linor Pate Treasurer. . . ....

Orchids to Miss Haines for organizing this club that creates sportsman- ship among the girls of our schooll Most people don't connect girls with athletics, but there are a lot of feminine athletes in Rochy High. This club enables the girls to practice their favorite sports. The mcst accomplished athletes are given places on class teams. Those girls who haven't excelled enough to play for the class, are given their chance in the intramurals. Several teams are chosen with a captain for each one. Then the play- offs begin. A team can only lose once and then is finished. This is a little different from Boys' Intramurals. This year the Drips, composed of Faye Fisher, Sarah Short, Carmel Catanese, Cecelia Vorderbrueggen, Margaret Farmer, Margaret Bucken- heimer, Cookie Powell, and Shirley Camp, won the Cirls' Intramurals. Each girl received a gold basketball. The C-. A. A. is one of the most successful and beneficial clubs in the High School. May its activity continue to be successful. T' S'1'l'l'JENT CUVNCII.

No better way to make Rochester High School more democratic was ever started. The members of this council were nominated openly in assembly, and chosen by ballot, the most democratic way possible. The Student Council met every week regularly, to solve student prob- lems, and to make our high school a better place in every possible way.

The Seniors bid a fond farewell to a privilege that was offered them in Rochy High. Orchestra The orchestra, directed by Mr. Reoman, is no longer an infant organiza- tion. lt has outgrown its childish clothes and must be recognized as a power in the school. lt might not be talked about so much, but when music is needed the orchestra is ready and willing. lt is impossible to think of any kind of a play in school without thinking of the orchestra. Their willingness to help out is greatly appreciated. What would we do without them? T5 Stage Crew Everyone will agree that without actors and actresses a play could not be produced. But, behind the curtain and lights of the stage there exists a group of workers just as important to any production-the Stage Crew. The work of the Stage Crew in cooperating with the director, goes to make a success of every play. So, as a performance: on the stage of Rochy High School ends, the Stage Crew receives the applause and bouquet for their excellent work. Candy Kids Much credit for making our Senior Class one of the finest, goes to the hard-working Candy Kids. The work of this group has played a great part in presenting this fine yearbook. The unbending effort of this committee, under the expert management of Charles Spancs and his assistants, Charles Swain and Charles Ford, has pushed our sales above all previous sales, giving our class an unsurpassed record. We, the Senior Class, thank every member ofthe Candy Committee for their splendid work. T5 STAN Ii C R ICXX' First Row. Left to Right G. Ankxiey. lf, lfislicr. C. Yu1'1lc1'ln'ucggcn. Scagliic. C.

This statement accompanied by a tew shrill notes from Mr. Repman's whistle can be heard dis- tinctly the last period three times a week. The band has taken the remark seriously and has improved greatly. During football season these musicians have helped to inspire pep at cheer practice. When our band made its appearance on the football tield our hearts swelled with pride. Among the many additions to our band was our new marching acrobatic drum majorette. Together with her, two others joined in to do stunts during the halt while the band per- formed interesting drills. This made our band unique and outstanding, Each year many people look torwaid to the band's part in the annual Chorus and Band Concert. lt never proves to be a disappoint- ment because atter many hours ot practice the band shows itselt an organization worthy ot much praise. The class ot '42 regrets having to say adieu, and we hope that tuture students will thrill to the band as we have. BAND PERSONNEL Alto Horns S. Armstrong, J. Mavera, M. Simpson, L. Dorn, G. McCattic.

May l see that snapshot? ore queries which can't make us fmostly the Seniorsl forget the Mirage. Every person in the school and recent graduates look forward to some nice, sunny day toward the end of the year when our beloved yearbook makes its appearance. Obstacles overcome, tempers calmed, and articles prepared, the staff has turned out one of the finest yearbooks Rochy High has ever seen. The production of the Mirage was made possible through the efforts made in the candy sales. Had it not been for the fine work of Tom Shafer, editor, and his worthy assistants together with the advisership of Mr. White, the book would not have been the great success it is. Most people do not realize the amount of work required to produce a successful yearbook. First, there is the printer to select, next, the engraver must be chosen. Then there are covers to choose and a theme for the book to be decided upon. All of this takes time and requires a great amount of work. The Mirage staff of l942 feels that it has done a very good job in producing this edition. ln future years, it will be referred to many times. lts chief value is that it serves as a history of the school life of any given year. The Class of '42 wishes to extend its most sincere appreciation and thanks to all students and teachers who helped publish this year's Mirage. 72 1'n'si. Row, Loft to Right -lb.

The Rams this year were a real championship team, sur- passing even the great season predicted for them. They will long be remem- bered for the thrilling brand of football they displayed in piling up the great- est number of points in the county. Under the capable direction of Mr. Meyer and his assistants, Earl Ewing, Bertil von Philp, and Glenn Davis, the boys learned the fundamentals of football and lessons in good sportsmanship and teamwork. The team again TU' tl it TQQ1. s I, .Laffy ffffeg. L! K I K by y C, .WJ 7 . W ,yfuffffygcj a ,lan M07 ,J l THE DOC displayed the fine line-play and great blocking characteristic of all Meyer- coached teams. And with a backfield combining speed and deceptiveness with weight and hitting power, the touchowns were marked up with machine- like regularity. The Rams played a full schedule of ten games, all under the lights. The nine home games took place before near-capacity crowds everytime. Credit must be given to Trainer Jim Ponder and Dr. Piersol, whose as- sistance was invaluable in keeping the boys in good condition. The cheer- leaders were: Joanne Hood, Freda Colamarino, Jackie Begley, Alberta Lembo, Carmel Catanese, Olive Myers, and Johnny Radler. They made exceptionally fine showings at the games and did much to create support for the home team. And the football managers, Bill Brockett, Spot Frank, Bob Whitten, Red McElhaney, and Lew Shafer, also deserve credit for their part in furnish- ing equipment for the team. The addition to the coaching staff, Earl Ewing, came to us from Chester, West Virginia, and gave invaluable aid in developing a fine backfield. oun mmrowlzn , ff K JJ' 82 MMNT' - 1 ,, 1- . .M ' MM' JJ., I A .

HWHIRLINC DERVISHH ROCHESTER 33 - FREEDOM 0 On September 13, the untested 1941 edi- tion of the Rochester High School football staff put on its first performance. The Ram half- backs, Leonard and Colella, scored five touch- downs on long runs. ln the first period, Jube Leonard opened the season's scoring with o punt return from midfield. Behind the block- ing of Hunter, Colella went 40 yards to score, shortly before the half, With our halfbacks in safety position, a neat reverse on a punt re- turn resulted in a quick score by Colella. With- in a minute, he crossed the goal again by skirt- ing end. Jube's second touchdown came after he took a lateral ond golloped 50 yards to end the evening's scoring. f ROCHESTER 25 - MIDLAND 6 After suffering for a year because of the unexpected 1940 defeat, Rochester won over the Leopards by o convincing margin. Two Midland scoring threats were stopped by the Ram forward wall, The Champs opened the second half with plenty of fireworks and Burg scored after a sixty yard march. He was soon followed by Colello who raced the same dis- tance for the second score. With several long runs, Leonard placed the pigskin on the one- yard line, setting up Burg's second touchdown. Leonard again carried the ball almost to the striped end zone, and Wil Burg crashed the re- maining yardage for the final tally. The scrap- py Crucibles rallied in the last period with a sustained drive of line plays to register their only score. T' ELLWOOD CITY 12 - ROCHESTER 7 Before a Friday night crowd of 6,000 fans, a highly underrated Ellwood City team in- vaded our Mazda-lit field and walked off with a hard-earned victory. This defeat supposedly dropped Rochester from the race for Beaver County laurels, but really showed our boys the mistake of believing in their own invincibility. After a slow first quarter, the Rams began a 50-yard march. Flashing an assortment of tricky reverses, passes, and power plays, our backfield moved the oval to the three-yard stripe and a first down. After four plays gained only half the needed distance, Ellwood took possession. ln the third chapter the vis- itors unleashed a powerful running attack, finally scoring on a pass to Presto. A minute later the Tubers were knocking again, but a pass interception by Colella momentarily held off a tally. Forced to punt from the end zone, Colella received little protection and his blocked kick resulted in a second Wolverine touchdown. Tossing long passes and mixing in fancy reverses, the Rams carried the ball deep into enemy territory. Phil Colella then raced around right end to score in the south corner. Hinzman's placement accounted for the extra point. The Rams made their final bid with Leonard and Colella featuring an aerial barrage. This gallant comeback ended ten yards short of a victory and a perfect sea- son. The failure to produce a score after mov- ing within close range placed the only blemish on the season's record. ROCHESTER 13 - NEW BRIGHTON 'll Coming from behind to overcome an eleven point deficit, the Rams revealed the never-say- die and never-give-up spirit of champions. Scoring in the first half was limited to a pair of Crimson safeties. An attempted pass from the end zone and a bad pass from center prac- tically donated our guests four points. Eleven Blue and White clad boys opened the third per- iod with marches of 74 and 40 yards, but neither was able to reach the promised land. Then the unexpected happened. Forced to run from punt formation, Balik traveled al- most the length of the field to pay-dirt and in- creased the visitors' lead. The Ram line awoke with revived ability and unused energy to make possible the almost fictitious ending. After Bucky's line plunging climaxed a 60 yard march with a score, Krouse nabbed the seventh point via a pass. With four minutes remain ing, Bucky again surged forward for many gains and a second touchdown. The whirl- wind finish left most of the 4,000 fans in a hoarse and worn-out condition. ROCHESTER 34 - HAR-BRACK 6 This game marked the seventh consecutive victory over l-lar-Brack, a school famous for producing All-Americans. ln the second min- ute of play, Colella raced 92 yards on a punt return for the initial score. Not to be out- done, the powerful Green and White came back with an 80 yard march to chalk up its score. When the second half opened Roches- ter stopped the big Green offense almost com- pletely. Colella scored on an end sweep aftfer the Rams pounded from midfield. ln the last period, Colella, the star who gained 262 yards, crossed the double stripe for the third time and Burg made the final score the same way. ROCHESTER 34 - BEAVER FALLS 0 Scoring four touchdowns in the second and third periods, the Rochester Rams pasted a 34 to 0 defeat on Beaver Falls at Reeves Stadi- um. Jube tallied the first of his three touch- downs after an interception when he nabbed an-short pass from Colella. ln the second quarter Colella chalked up a score for himself when he broke through tackle and sprinted 43 yards. Several minutes later Colella again con- nected with Leonard via the aerial route to give the Blue and White a 20 point lead at half-time. After Bucky plunged 45 yards in two thrusts, Leonard ended his scoring with a tackle slash. The final score came when the Rams marched from their own 36-yard mark- er to the goal and Bucky plowed over. ROCHESTER 7 - AMBRIDGE 6 After twelve long years, Rochester finally defeated a favored Bridger team and moved the county championship race into a four-way dead-lock. A record-breaking crowd saw the scrappy Rams come from behind to score the only touchdown against Ambridge by a county opponent. ln the second quarter the Carne- teers used a variety of Rubinstein's reverses to move from midfield for a score. Playing a superior game both offensively and defensive- ly, the Rams tied the score with a running pass, Leonard to Colella, in the third period, and Hinzman's accurate conversion provided the margin of victory. T' ROCHESTER 7 - GERMAN TOWNSHIP 6 Coming from behind as they did the previ- ous week, the Rochester Rams handed the giant German Township eleven its first defeat of the season. The Rams were unable to use their reliable passing attack and quick-opening plays because of the driving rain and soaked turf. The Fayette County team scored after the Meyermen fumbled trying to get off a last down punt deep in their own territory. ln the third quarter Silipigni blocked and recovered a punt on the Red and Black l3-yard stripe. Burg plunged through guard for the touch- down and made the extra point the same way. About 2,000 loyal fans braved the steady rain to see the Ram gridders chalk up their seventh win in eight starts. ROCHESTER 25 - BESSEMER 0 Playing an outclassed Bessemer team, the Rams looked very poor in scoring a 25 to 0 victory. On the first play of the game, Burg hit tackle and lateraled to Leonard, who raced from midfield to score standing. Rochester threw away several scoring opportunities in the second quarter, after moving within the ten-yard line. ln the last half Leonard con- tinued his scoring with two touchdowns, the first on a pass and the other via a long run. DiFrancesca's touchdown in the final minutes ended the scoring. The unimpressive victory of the Rams added another scalp to their lengthening string but did not heighten their prestige. ROCHESTER 39 - BEAVER 0 ln the thirty-fourth annual football game between these two rivals, Rochester emerged victorious by a 39 to 0 score and climaxed an almost perfect season. ln the opening quar- ter Burg plunged for two touchdowns to give the Rams a nice lead. Colella continued the scoring with two jaunts to the end zone, each run carrying more than 70 yards. The Ram offense slowed down in the third period, but Leonard intercepted a pass and tallied after a 56 yard run. A see-saw battle moved into the closing quarter but Krouse nabbed a pass and ran from l8 yards out to end the season's scoring. The victory, which was the last for l5 Blue and White players, gave Rochester a record of nine victories and one defeat. 95 W x 5 N The Dream Backfield The Brains ofthe Team The Managers BASKETBALL MR. PEACOCK Due to the untiring efforts of the fine man in the picture above, the Peacockmen completed a fine basketball season. Mr. Peacock came to the high school to be near his players, but if you'll keep a secret-it was to take Mr. W'hite's place as C. D. D. CChief Dirt Diggerl. He loved those oppor- tunities to brag about his team at assemblies and for o while, Mr. White's reputation was at stake due to the dirt thrown at the Junior members of the team. But seriously now, R. H. S. finished second place because the team kept training and obeyed all rules. lf you think this isn't a monumental job, look at Bucky. We're glad Mr. Peacock is with us and wish him many successful seasons in the future. 90 The Letlermen BUCKY Biggest man on the squad -scored plenty of points for his size. DEFRANCESCA Powerful on defense, makes the game fast, inter- esting to watch. MCELHANEY Dave was the tallest boy on our squad this year and we are fortunate to have him coming back. PANDAK Worked up the hard way, good for breaking up plays, under the bucket man. ROWE Chuck was a dead-eye at the hoops. He will be a val- uable asset to the team next year. KROUSE Always good for two points, king of the dribble, long shot expert. BURKHART We are losing a valuable player when we lose Burky. FRlTZUlS Pride of Rochy, county top scorer, record breaker, best all-around player. 's 'p f ' ' .A A., , T5 I 4 ,V ' .adm J I , .5, 1 V - F V rf I el K , , ,K ' f- K f Q F ' LX ,vt 14,451-gzg,. 1.
